Blows my mind that this author, Baek Daekal, is good at drawing, (presumably) has a musical education… AND is a great writer. Wish this GOAT was getting all the flowers instead of those rape porn slop conveyer belts
To preface, I cannot think of any as good and multidimensional as this one, but I do remember a few interesting BLs:
1. Our sunny days by Jung Seokchan - a heart touching story about romance and familial relationships;
2. Master-peace by jumal - a dramatic story that tackles heavy themes (manipulation, abuse)
3. A first of summers by Pppanghouse - a sweet and realistic story about expectations, I guess
4. Tonari no Hyakkai Kenbunroku by WATANUKI Yoshiko - an elaborate mystery with supernatural elements
5. Shutline by Kyo Woo - tension, chemistry and drama
6. Happy together by Fly hunter - a story about healing and recovery
7. New world order by Songhyel - a mystery surrounding a cult
8. Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru by
Tomoko Yamashita - another mystery surrounding a cult
9. Sangyang:The Wanderer by Gyu-gik - a mystery(no spoiling)
10. A Night to Remember by Gwa-in - very intriguing story (tw: heavy themes)
11. Zero at the bone by Son Gae Pi and Jane Seville - a good read
12. When a killer falls in love by Eresemo - just cute
13. Love for sale by Dal Hyeonji - interesting story about people’s desires
14. Beware of the Full Moon In March By Choi song - a dramatic story that explores heavy topics (sexual abuse)
15. Memoirs of an Anthophile By Kobu - the most bizarre BL story I’ve ever read that, despite only two chapters and crazy premise, has more substance than 55358 chapters of Ennead, imho
1. Father had no luxury of becoming an artist, worked hard to give it to his wife and son, grew resentful of them for not appreciating and taking it as seriously as he would have.
2. Mother gave up music to raise a child, indirectly blames him for this and guilt-trips into following in her footsteps.
3. Yoseop and the others fell in love on their own, made sacrifices to have him, then blamed him for the consequences of these choices.
Always blamed for sacrifices he never asked to make. Always resented, despite doing what’s told, even at own expense. A victim of other people's selfishness disguised as goodwill. If everybody can be like this, why not him?
“Age gap”, “toxic ml”, “love triangle” yaoi … this story is about different paths to success. The teacher is written this way to serve the plot, not to let you vicariously experience a toxic romance through the MC.
Naeun’s talent (and arrogance ) is the result of her parents’ wealth, encouragement and connections.
Youngjo relies on his charms, looks, body, and dirty tricks to get ahead.
The only thing Garam has is no luxury to fail. This was the reality for many living Greats across different fields, who had to lift their families out of poverty in the only available way or were trapped in exploiting contracts.
Since Garam was the only student with no parental $upport, the teacher got him in to add more pressure. I assume that he himself followed the same path, knows it is the most effective way and wants to prove this to others.
thank you! one of my favorite parts of this story is the way it fleshes out each character and shows their humanity uniquely. it does it so well over the course of nearly 200 chapters now, and i really hope people stick with it long enough to see how great it is. it’s much more than your typical BL.
Yeah, I fell in love with this story when I read the first couple of chapters and felt like love isn't the center of it. I'm kinda tired of those manwhas that are only about love, like yeah they are good and I read them but it's always good to be about something more. In my opinion, there's nothing better than it being about something else and having love in it, cuz life is like that. Live usually doesn't revolve about love alone but there are a bunch of things that come with it






Why does ass like this get an official translation despite a hiatus 7 chapters in while decent stories stay untranslated forever?
Because people pay for it and like it? Lol
