found family / family of choice in BL

The "Found Family" or “Family of Choice” trope refers to a device in literature and media where a group of characters find themselves united in a family bond based on shared experiences, mutual understanding, and interpersonal connection (from nypl.org)

This is one of my favorite tropes ever to read. As usual, I'll try my best to include reviews and content warning.

Genre(s): Drama / Shounen Ai / Webtoons

[PG, slice of life, hurt/comfort, found family]

TW: child abuse and neglect, mental illness, self harm, casual homophobia, violence, toxic family relationship

The original novel is freaking great (it's by the danmei goddess WuZhe herself, i'm begging you to please PLEASE read the novel you won't regret it). It touches on the subject of mental health and what it is like to live with it. I'm not going to drop it, but tbh i wish the art and panelling were better bc rn it's kinda hard to read.

This is like a hybird of Psychopass, SAW, and RPG isekai. I just finished reading the novel, and it's pretty great, so I hope the manhua version is good too.

+ likeable MCs

A bear-like softie farmer and a prince-like city guy met in the countryside. A heartwarming story about acknowledging the bad and the good in your life, and having the courage to choose what's best. Also, both of the MCs belong in my pocket!
