i love mcs who can stand up for themselves. and i love a good banter on dynamics. i could tolerate a black flag ml provided that he does not cheat. i‘d like it better if he is upfront in being manipulative. for quick background some of my top favs are:
payback, shutline, park hanhoo‘s manager. i also loved semantic error, nerd project, and the pizza delivery guy in the golden palace.
HELP haha i‘m running out of list to read i’ve checked out diamond dust and flashlight and so faar i’m really really craving for a good read. does not matter if it‘s shounen or yaoi. so long as it‘s completedd and the mc is not a complete pushover
for shounen i enjoyed heesu in class 2, merry marbling, salt friend, 19 days, robber x lover, spinach bouquet, rejoice in your enemies, and green apple in paradise! i really really love a good exchange of banter with enough tension while avoiding love triangles ㅠㅠ although i guess it can be forgivable if the mc does not fall for them or the second lead does not become a subject for mc to confuse his feelings IDK IF IM MAKING SENSE
recos along the same lines pls i love characters who can carry themselves out of sticky situations not a pushover some sortaa i also loved payback and assorted wildness (?) if that helps THANKS A LOT
Assorted wilderness is my favorite manwha so here’s some that have an uke that’s similar

i forgot the name i only remember the specific scene where the main lead like really really really admires someonee he sees him through a lense and then it turns out this someone was actually a red flag? beneath all the lense was someone who’s actually rotten. i remembered the scene where they baited this someone (he thought the mc’s eyes were already taken) he tried raping mc which was obvs unsure, and ND THE MC PUNCH WAS FELT TO THE BONES IT WAS A SATISFYING SCENE the whole thing was plotted from the start I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE I CANNOT SLEEP THANKS
please recommend
why did the rest of my question got deleted help HAHAHAHAHAHA. i was asking some recommendations in the similar line of wfmas (if you are familiar of the novel). i also enjoyed heesu in class 2, salt friend, and park hanhoo‘s manager (fucking loved this). please please please recommend me something i could binge for the next few days. just something without love triangles THANKS SO MUCH
i think i stumbled upon it way way back. it was about someone who was born into another‘s person body? he was born into the body of the person who jumped off (?) also, it was a gangster-type of thing. i think the body he was born into was getting bullied, and him being a gangster, i think he fought back. something along those lines please help

something close to checkmate, shutline, payback. i love freak4freak
