Toxic BL recommendations? Ideally if both leads are kinda toxic! Just finished one that was so good but too short

AHHHHHHHHHH Sangyang:The Wanderer
I'm going insane trying to remember what the title is:
In the first chapter it was a guy who was originally from a Hi-Tech future fighting aliens? He then blows up everything with himself since all his comrades died and then found himself reincarnated into a fantasy world as like a 15/16 yo lord (blond haired). Then typical fantasy male lead stuff happens.
What I liked was that it was not setup for him to take over the country or something like that - it was getting sort of interesting where he meets like a Prince / heir to throne on the way while negotiating to get water from a lake from where I left off.
This definitely has very similar personalities to Guildmate next door, but when I read this I start to realize Guildmate Next Door is a bit bland...
Guildmate a lot of enjoyment is made up by the humor, having a really entertaining cast, and making the characters appeal through cute aspects. But besides that the main characters personalities are pretty one note now that I think about it.. jigu is paranoid, and yeowoon is just weird. And to each other most of the time they just say wow he's acting adorable.
But here Suho and Jungwoo have more multi facets to them. Their romance was so natural and I was surprised it had so much substance. The polar opposite personalities isn't new but it's highlighted in so many different ways and in little things sometimes - like energy levels, relationship needs, lifestyle choices, their clothing choices and they really worked to come to terms of that with each other, and feel complete together. It's really crazy because at the beginning you really feel like, man these two shouldn't enjoy being together, and from Jungwoo's side it's reflected! I think also, how much development they get outside of the game helps so much as nowadays a lot of the gaming bl's it's all just through the game. It makes for a cute story and easier to draw, but it's so refreshing to me when it's treated as just one aspect of yourself and how you are outside of it is a different facet!
Nice review thanks youve convinced me to read this. I hope we get the same opnion by the end
i was just going yo write a similar comment! After reading this, the chemistry between Jigu and yeowoon is practically absent in comparison to Jungwoo and Suho. The charm of GND was really the video game aspect, but even at the end I jins off only felt like the bond between the leads was kind if platonic? esp on Yeowoon’s part. It just didn’t feel like he really liked Jigu romantically. maybe i’d feel differently if i read the novel. that being said, I wish s2 of carrying my noob waifu was a little more drawn out bc it felt like the author was trying to squeeze in a ton in just 10 chapters whereas the beginning of the manhwa was really well paced. I would have loved to see their relationship issues more drawn out and explored Jungwoo’s personality a bit more tbh
it kind of* not i jins off omg
You are so right, It sucks we never get more like My Darling Signed In where it's more seasons of actually being in a relationship and working through it at a good pace
I was just so surprised even when we got to those chapters how thoughtful some of the themes and conversations started getting!
Thank you, someone who gets it...!!
I thought GND was cutesy, but mostly bland.
It didn't quite have the sweetness of Netkama, or the humour of Nakama Sashi Off.
