It Seems Like I Know But I Don't
Green flag ML and MC. It's just a refreshing love story. There's age gap (if I'm not mistaken, ML is late twenties and MC is 21) but they both come off realistic and mature. Highly recommend if you're avoiding toxic tropes between the main couple

Worn-Out Love
Currently being adapted into webtoon. This is an easy going, omegaverse rom/com about mistaken blind date featuring a creaky, robot-like ML (who learns how to love), a somewhat indifferent MC who somehow got roped into marriage, and their love story. I hope they update with more SS!

reallly good so far! good read if you like secret identities, mc's who are strong(er) than ml, angsty backstories

Black flag ML, toxicity 1000% MC adapts to it somehow (Stockholm syndrome, pheromones). He runs away like 50% or more in this story tho LOL, good for him

If I had to sum this up: Frustrating. Both leads are idiots and lack emotional IQ :-) So, really, a match made in heaven.

This is primarily an action/fantasy novel, with bits of BL sprinkled in it. The SS has more of what I wish the main story had, but alas it is a story about saving the world so..lol

The only thing I wish it had more were SS of the two :,) I liked the Beastman AU but more of the couple in day to day!!

Read halfway and it's just so boring/droll. Nothing much happens and also romance was so hard to believe for me, but like ok. DNF.

204 / ? chs
Started off as typical hunter/esperverse (w/o guides) but turned gaming focused 70+ chs in? I like it enough to continue (I like gaming bls), but keep in mind this is a slow burrnnnnnn. Edit: Ch 204 - DNF - wtf is going on anymore, haha??

Up to Ch 30: MC has been real spineless so far; might drop. still no backdrop to why ML is suddenly obsessed? seems stockholm syndrome-y

Wish there were more SS. If you're looking for #firstlove #obsession #persistentMLs, this is the one :,) I'm just a fan when MC is capable and not a pushover.

1 / ? ch
Might drop. I know there's an explanation of why ML was so cold to MC for 15 YEARS, but damn idk if it's worth reading to get there. Also MC, get a spine?! 15 yrs you've been treated so coldly/ignored and yet, you're back for more??

midway through and not sure if i want to continue... very sad backstory for mc though.

171 / 171 chs
if you like the Guild Member Next Door, with better communication, golden retriever ML energy, and a cool MC, this is the one.

tbh will need a full re-read but i remember i really liked it when i read it before

I guess I am not the biggest fan of Gong main POV's. Also got bored because not much was going on. DNF.

Basically, Joffrey goes around trying to ruin his reputation to keep his life but ends up adding to his harem instead </3

130 / 130 chs
turn off brain cells/reality to enjoy this. MC seemed like his brain also regressed in age lol

Very plot driven. So much tragedy but I love them both so much (MC and ML). Completion thoughts: I cried D: Wished the SS were longer. Overall, if you mind all the TWs, it was good

176 / 176 chs
MC - 0% IQ, big case of stockholm syndrome ML - 100% psycho, black flag but sort of owns up to it Story is like 90% 19+ and the rest, scattered plot. I've read 3 stories by this author and this ML has to be the worst

probs one of the best executed psychological HS bl. Edit: Just read the AU side stories and was disappointed. They could've done so much better than an amnesia arc. But overall story was ok

if you like: toxicity, SA, Stockholm syndrome, obsessive red flag MLs, omegas being treated like dirt type of society, then this is the book for you :,) Edit: I will say, ML does turn around and tries his best to redeem himself for MC at the end, if that matters.

Typical cinderella story. Tsundere ML who falls real hard. Unfortunately, I'm a sucker for these.

they're both crazy. ML is very obsessed but was in denial for quite a long time. MC has a lot of past trauma and really needs therapy, but they love each other ig.

if you want to read about a ML that absolutely has a CRASH OUT during a runaway arc, I suggest this one :^D

I'm not sure what color flag is above black flag, but this ML is exactly that.. 100% toxic, MC has the biggest case of stockholm syndrome I've seen

10/10. The tension, the plot, the main characters!!!!!! The only con is I want more SS

9/10 wasn't the biggest fan of the ML but i love MC sm!!! yes, he's sheltered and naive but he is not a pushover :,) <3 SS uploaded now, and my rating still stands.

made me laugh out loud so many times. However if you are looking for a gaming BL, the game is only involved sporadically and is not a main focus. Wished the SS was more satisfying.

if u want to read mostly about political scheming, MC who's emotional IQ is stuck in middle school despite being almost 40 prior to regression, obsessive, scheming ML (but with so little screen time!), and basically just a dash of BL (did they forget this was the genre? lol)

0 / ? chs
honestly, it's not THAT bad, but something about the writing or the characters I just don't vibe with. might pick back up later..

very tame, easy going BL with barely any angst. not sure how they dragged it to be this long tbh

1 / ? ch
honestly... the keywords got me. writing/dialogue is a bit too childish though :( regret buying it

Green flags all around, 10/10. A love story set in modern times. I love these two sm!!

If you like Death Delayed by Will, you will probably like this. Less angsty and more focused on healing aspect. crying rn because they're so sweet!

So good!! I love talented, sort of stoic MCs! Their denial stage was dragged out quite a bit but made me enjoy the 2nd half that much more

I just like this author's stories in general. MC is soft yet decisive, ML was smitten at first sight. Mild red flags, but MC addresses it really well imo. <3 wish it was longer, would read again!!

Meh… it was too focused on the game so the development between MC & ML were put on back burner till the last chapters. It fell flat for me tbh

it was... ok? Didn't really feel that connected to MC as he is a dragon (so he doesn't have the emotional bandwidth like humans would), so take that as you will...

230 / 230 chs
would re-read again. Another one on the list for MLs crashing out during a potential runaway arc.

Wow this just made me angry lmao.... the 1st half was great, I wish I'd just stopped there. 2nd half was just there to raise your blood pressure or something

Completed, but story was so basic and nothing much happened in the plot. Had to finish because I bought it, not going to buy SS.

0 / ? chs
something about it I quite don't like... probably the writing or how old the characters come across. they feel too young or immature idk

138 / 138 chs
timid, dense, naive, stubborn A-rank Guide MC x emotionally repressed, never-got-good-guiding S-rank Esper ML

It was long but not much happened at the same time?? I just want to see their wedding :( Author might still potentially write additional SS?

If you like spending 70+ chs of miscommunication, some dub/non-con, then this is for you :,)

0 / ? chs
ML is really an obsessive maniac, but, still don't really know why he's so obsessed with MC? did they spend a past life together??

1 / ? ch
So, this is based on a Hunter universe. But it's basically mostly childcare (taking care of his orphaned nephew) and his growing romance with ML. I find the romance to not be extremely plausible.... but.. I mean I'm still reading so idk. If you're looking for #battleromance or action this is not it.

this is a harem, btw. it was okay, not much substance but fun enough if you enjoy the genre(s).

179 / 179 chs
It's not going to be for everyone. There's violence, insane treatment for augmented humans/Espers/Guides, etc. But I liked the story and loved the ending. Wished there were SS!!!

165 / 165 chs
not super plausible in the beginning, but it's relatively fast paced, loved all the characters, especially MC.

oh my this is a LOOOONG series! i'm like, halfway through? it's fun tho, doesn't get overly draggy. loved them sm!!

120 / 120 chs
Gearing up to be a good read so far. Interesting hunter/Gate/Demon realm premise

this has rave reviews everywhere...but I wasn't that big of a fan. It's downtrodden, miserable, debt-ridden MC x rich, violent, gangster ML. There's noncon, Grape, and obviously turns into obsessive love.

23 / 23 chs
Wow.. not sure how I even finished this. Felt like a whiplash, inconsistent and shallow story.

152 / 152 chs
This is very much relationship based between MC & ML type of novel. Everything else, including novel plot, is behind that. I can see why it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's also about growth between the main characters, as they carry different wounds from past trauma. MC continues to deal with PTSD through majority of the chs.

23 / 23 chs
aww, I love the MC. He's a little dumb, very headstrong and knows what he wants. ML isn't that bad. <3 would read again

170 / 170 chs
fyi ch 80 - nothing has happened, plot has not moved fwd between anybody LOL ch 105 - MC is still in denial :,) ch115 - MC is suspecting ML as a villain. OML what is going on c144 - what a whirlwind?? so many things happening, literally...MC is suddenly proactive? SS - why is there still company drama in the SS?! #-#

if you've ever wanted to read an extremely technical guideverse...interspersed with 19+ and some mild character dev.... I skimmed thru most of it tbh

the romance between the leads wasn't plausible to me... like all of a sudden they're in love?? but how? they don't even know your birthday, babes... wouldn't read again

Has pacing issues, was interesting in the beginning. Wished I didn't buy the rest, bc the ending felt rushed and didn't feel like their relationship got fleshed out vs the plot?

86 / ? chs
This is black flag ML to the max. wtf?? I’m not sure how he is meant to be redeemed?? like you know it's bad if an actual villain who tried to kill MC is warning him off the ML ;___;

0 / ? chs
Uh...this is really difficult to comprehend. Something about the writer's writing style, or sentence styling makes it difficult to figure what is going on. Reviewers on ridi says it gets better after vol 3 if you can make it that far... HOLD for now, might drop later.

so in reversal of most typical guideverses, the Espers are treated like animals and Guides enjoy the most rights (and legally don't have to guide other than in emergencies). Ratio of Guides to Espers drop to 1:10. Ugh I feel so awful for ML, his existence & treatment is inhumane :((((

if you like MC who's hardworking w/ traumatic past x innocent ML who is suffering due to lack of Guiding (and becomes obsessed), then you'll like this :3

was okay. Execution wasn't the best; past and present POVs happen randomly and I felt like we get too immersed in one then whiplash back to the other. Wouldn't re-read, was kind of dragging towards the end. Also felt anti climactic?

So good! I felt like it was the right length, the SS were short but satisfying. I love this couple :,) Wish there were more SS of their shenanigans...

toxic with a capital T! short story about obsessive ML and MC who is dating ML's best friend

Not as good as I'd hope. First half (like 11 chs out of 18) were heavily game based with barely any development between the main characters (I don't think they've even seen each other). After the latter half, the development speed-runs, and the ending feels quite abrupt?

The story is relatively short and straightforward, campus BL :) They're so sweet, I love them. Also love the long SS!!!

Not quite what I thought it'd be. MC is an artificially-made Esper, born in a lab & brainwashed by the gov his entire life. In the beginning parts of the novel currently, he is extremely loyal to the state and very naive due to his past. He is very strong regardless, but personality is a bit off-putting.

#FatedLovers is really the true tag here. ML falls in love at first sight, MC is struggling with his Apostle duties/beliefs while trying not to fall in love.

miscommunication, years apart, one and only trope. MC is quite shy but not an extreme pushover. ML is emotionally immature and is somewhat self aware? The story is fast paced and short, so issues get resolved quickly.

Black flag ML, does have a "redemption arc" "chasing"... think Beyond the Memories but worse?

Other than physical lust/need, I have no idea why the main couple would even like each other...

Probs the most green flag obsessed psycho ML out there lol. MC is both somewhat dumb and capable. Would read again!

a very calm, regression love story. ML and MC are bumbling green flags [tho questionable start, tbh??]

Surprisingly, a softie obsessed ML? Thought it would get toxic real quick but I was surprised.
