any story where the ml dreams of the protagonist (like meets the mc in dreams not just dreams casually)? anything with this concept is fine, it can be bl or straight. i can think of secretary jin's confinement diary and stars seeing nightmares with this concept but im sure there must be others ( ̄∇ ̄")
I do know one! But it was erased from my list, and I don't recall the name
It's about the MC that starts getting "visits (iykyk)" at night, after some shenanigans he discovers that the guy was someone who fell for him at first sight, and among everything in the life of the ML he wanted the most to be with MC, and that's why he was going in his astral form (ML thought he was dreaming, until he found out that wasn't the case). It was a black and white manga, MC was black haired (and I'm pretty sure he was older) and ML light hair, if someone knows it please lmk ╥﹏╥
not on here but on webtoon, a straight romance called "eaternal nocturnal" which is really good. i read it years ago but it's about a girl with chronic insomnia who sees a "dream eater" one day in her dreams, and from that point on she can actually feel well rested as longs as he's there with her in her dreams. i remember the characters being really well written and as someone who usually would never even dare to read a straight romance, that is one of the only ones i've ever read and enjoyed. the lore is cool, the love interest is really hot and has a cute likable personality, mc is also really hot and has a relatable-esque sort of personality. don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but they are really meeting inside of her dreams.
i think it is this one (=・ω・=)

drunken confession but tbh i always imagine going into the bls im reading as a demon or something and fucking the seme. yes, specifically the seme. even more if they are very seme-like (manly, cold, strong, rich and all that). that or the mls from rofans and cool mcs from action stories but they have to be very straight or seme-like (even more if they are assholes), not some ukeful ones like dokja, kiyoung and cale (▰˘◡˘▰)
and in my imagination it has to be very humiliating for them, like making them see themselves in the mirror while having urinary incontinence or some other stuff that i feel like might be too much to share. there's no way im the only one... i've read a chinese novel that was somewhat like this in a way and it was so peak (≧∀≦)
who is your favorite bl mc? i've been in a weird mood lately, hating on the mcs of everything i read so pls share your favorites with me! ヾ(☆▽☆)
I’m sorry for the long list, but I checked my reading lists and typed out all the ones that made my heart pang:
I LOOOOOOVE Ilay from Passion (please don’t judge, I can’t help it — he has a place in my heart set in stone. I also LOOVE Taeui, of course; Passion would be nothing without their dynamic).
Evelogia from Reincarnated in Demon Lord Evelogia’s World (he’s so cute and devoted).
Mr. Reaper from One Summer Day (so naive — and in love — so devoted, yet so persistent).
Taebum from Biscuit (GOD, WHAT A CUTE HOTTIE).
Ryu Ian from Melting Point (I love a handsome, yearning cutie).
Wolfgang from King’s Maker (THE AURA OF THAT MAN, THE FACE, THAT BODY, HOW OBSESSED HE IS WITH SHIN, GOD).
Goh Hui-Jae and Seonwu Jin (God, those characters… so good).
The Hunter Wants to Live Quietly (both main characters — chef’s kiss, in both design and complexity).
Things That Deserve to Die (both main characters as well — the potential, the body, the face, THE CHEMISTRY).
So, Who Got Screwed? (both — they’re so hot, so hot for each other, and the love they share is adorable).
Yuwon from When Pear Blossoms Bloom (SO HOT, so in love, and so determined to make their relationship work despite all the miscommunication).
Haeon and Juhyeok from You Are So Lovely (such a good relationship — the development, the inner monologues, and how much they valued each other in their lives. So cute).
Muheun and Seungjoo from Night of the Unmarked (such a good story — the way they were both pining and yearning for each other no matter what, even against themselves).
Yikyung and Joobin from Sketch (OH MY GOD, THEY ARE SO GOOD — AND SO SEXY — TOGETHER. They bring out the best in each other, making their relationship shine. I love them so much).
Lee Yeon and Kihoon (the way they love each other… GOD, I LOVE THEM).
Shuraka and Tei from Blossoms of the White Knight (such good characters, great story).
Minato and Shizuma from Therapy Game (underrated for sure — they have such great arcs!).
Ikenie Monzenbarai (no instant-love connection; the relationship progresses naturally in a way that fits each character, and they’re so cute together).
Woojin from Love Jinx (I love a red flag who’s fully devoted to their partner).
Hmm, my favorite BLs change from time to time. Right now, my faves are in no particular order:
1. Passion: RAGA
- One of the PASSION series, but you don't need to read PASSION to get the gist of it
- Yuri x Xinlu
- From enemies to lovers troupe.
- Slowburn
- From red flag top to greenish-red, yes lol
- Nonchalant uke x Sassy & Dramatic seme
- Art is toptier
2. Kiss Me If You Can
- Part of the series in "Kiss Me Liar" and "Desire Me If You Can", but you don't need to read those to get the gist of it
- Crybaby Handsome Top x Badass Strong Omega
- Nothing much to say but—Josh, omega, is just soooooo likeable, while Chase Miller, alpha, is sooooo pretty.
- Art is toptier
3. Bad Apple
- Related to "Red Candy", but you don't need to read it to get the gist of it
- They're both screaming 'alphas' LOL. It's like watching an alpha x alpha troupe, but it's NOT omegaverse.
- It feels more top x top troupe, and it's good to see their banter and push n pull bcs no one seems want to back down.
- So much tension between the two of them
- Again, pretty top x badass strong bottom, but they I wish they switch tho LOL
OTHERS, which are my faves before but they are now completed:
1. Roses and Champagne
2. Payback
3. Checkmate (TAN)
4. Dangerous Convenience Store
5. Define the Relationship
6. Dear Benjamin
7. Ang Ang
8. Sacred Serpent's Seduction
9. When The Yakuza Falls In Love
10. Smyrna & Capri
Oh, I'm a sucker for badass bottoms, so expect they don't back down to a fight and aren't submissive. THEY'RE A FIGHTER!! (づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ
i've been avoiding kiss me if you can like the plague because i heard it is a shared universe with many other stories and i hate that but every time i ask for recommendations it get mentioned so it seems like it fits all my preferences... ig it is time for me to read it! i'll also check the other ones, ty (=・ω・=)
this bad apple one seems really good hehe i love alpha x alpha (top x top) so i'll start reading it today. tbh i always avoid things that have shared universes, for some reason, but im curious (⊙…⊙ ) the first one has been in my list since foreverrr but im not really a big fan of enemies to lovers nor slowburn so idk when ill start it lol
THEY'RE BOTH GOOOD!!!
Well, if you're still unsure reading PASSION: Raga, just keep still in your reading list. You might want to read it some day, because it's also another goooood one. You'll be missing, if you haven't read it yet (≧∀≦)
If Bad Apple caught your attention—I SWEAR, READ.IT.NOW!!! The tension of them is literally trailblazing. If I were to explain in words my reaction to their chemistry, it's... this -> ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
please help me remember the name of this shounen ai manhua! what I remember is that the main character transferred to this new school (and city if I remember correctly) and in this world there apparently are supernatural beings among normal people and they have something like an ID, and one of those supernatural folk dropped their ID card which the main character picks up and it's seen by a classmate of his (ml), which makes him assume the main character is also a supernatural creature I guess because the ml is and so he starts dropping hints and stuff like that to the main character, but the main character doesn't really get it because he's just a normal human ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
since I only read the start that's all I can say... also I think they were neighbors or something, but I'm not sure. I just remember that the male lead's mother or family was pretty cool I think
https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/god_s_identity_card/
I haven't read this. But this was in my want to read list. And this has an "ID" in the name

i remember seeing someone talking about an alpha bottom knotting the air, does anyone know the name of the bl? ( ̄∇ ̄")
Um.. the most recent one I've heard that's like this is "while you weren't watching" the side stories of it
Im so sorry but this made me laugh hahahha knotting the air??? (≧∀≦)
Lmao this happens way more often than you think
im pretty sure it wasn't this one, i think it has been a few months since i saw the post mentioning it, but tbh i was just interested on seeing the knotting so this will do thank you so much (≧∀≦) if you know any others please do tell me
there's 2 i know!!
define the relationship (alpha x alpha)
mind the gap (beta x alpha)
