I have sm beef with [childhood] friends to lovers and literally every new series has this trope I'm so done and starved, so can I have reccs of some good old strangers to lovers//strangers to friends to lovers//strangers to rivals to lovers idc what flavour it is, pls??
I prefer ones where both the leads are of the same build and height (NO huge height difference pls and NO twink bottoms unless it's twink x twink )
Childhood friends to lovers is so peak...but I understand because some authors don't do the trope justice anyways here's some recs

soo I read this back in 2021. Bc of her parents' work, mc transfers to this all girls school but it's messed up as fuck. There's a hierarchy system in place where one gather's points (???) on an app inorder to climb the social ladder. Those on the bottom and bullied to hell and back, mc tries to help her deskmate(??) but she ended up in the same fate. I think I stopped there bc I don't remember anything else
If it helps, mc has reddish-brownish hair and eyes (I think). I'd appreciate it if someone could provide me the title
Guys any extrovert x extrovert or introvert x introvert bl reccs??
extrovert x extrovert: who can define popularity (not exactly extrovert x extrovert, but both of the dudes are PRETTY damn popular, and are surrounded by admirers), release your persona, hirano to kagiura, seven sundays, cottage garden, like a tidal wave
introvert x introvert: the story about you x me, heesu in class 2, cinema next door, a lovely meal, no. 6, bride of ignat, little mushroom, backlight, kimi no yoru ni fureru, umibe no etranger
Guys I need rich x rich bls. Idk why authors are obsessed with these financial gap tropes it's boring, cliche and exhausting. Btw, I prefer ones with no twinks. Pls

The lack of high school centric bl manhwas is killing me. Can I get some reccs?? Preferably with-
1. Enemies to lovers// yk what I'm so desperate that any trope will work except for friends to lovers
2. Slow burn
3. Shounen ai/ no smut!!!
4. Similar height and built (pls no ripped 6 ft jock x petite "beautiful" twink)
5. Reiterating: manhwas/ korean comics.
6. Just in case, no teacher x student type of shit. Strictly student x student
Can I get some real underrated and PLOT heavy buff x buff bl reccs?
- I actually don't care how they look as long as both of the leads are of the same or similar build and height, I hate size/height differences
-Preferably shounen ai/slow burn. If it does contain smut, it should be minimal and zero rape!! I'm sick of the constant fucking or sexual assault right off the bat bruv
-I'd like a main character who can think, act and protect himself. Someone who uses common sense and doesn't fall short to the ml in terms of abilities or intelligence
-Also NO omegaverse pls

Guys give me your most BANGING, beautifully written, shakespeare incarnate masterpiece bl reccos (preferably manga/manhwa) with minimal to NO smut (shocking request ik)
Another requirement is that both the leads should be of similar height and build, without a massive height or build difference!! Which means, they could either both be tanks, twinks or anything in between. I just don't want the hunk x twink dynamic
"preferably manhga/manhwa" "minimal to no smut"
we can't really make miracles happen here. Idk, have u read Beauty and the West Chamber yet?

the ones below are stories i enjoyed. While the art and writing seem to be softer and wholesome, the undertones and nuances were carried out really subtly.
