The S-classes that I Raised
The Trash of the Count Family
They are called the big 3 of the Korean novels and all of their webtoon adaptations are GOOD. The first one takes a bit for everyone to become overprotective of the MC but like "he's the world I want to protect" is metal af of a phrase, and I can't give spoilers but oh go he is so very loved, you gonna think he is very loved but it keeps growing and it reaches a point where there's such an overwhelming love and care for him. All the characters are lovely, all the ladies are good female characters, well-written, there's no romance, and the bromance goes HARD.
The S-class is just this guy collecting baddass people and they all feel strong attachment to him and want to protect him, initially because that's his power — to make these powerful people love him and to grow their power, but sssh, they don't know —, but all of their feelings towards him become genuine really fast and they all would start wars to protect him, it's great.
Totcf MC doesn't even realize how lovely he is. He gets OP along the way, more powerful than the powerful people he found along the way, even, but at that point everyone is super overprotective over him, so like yeah, he can tell them he's OK but ain't no way they are letting him move an inch and they are all going to pamper him. Good for him, he likes to be pampered.
BTW, the "MC with a guy who he's really close too (and works like a male lead)" are the top ships even in the Korean fandom and none of them have any hint of straight romance with the MC (first one might look like this because we are all so used to "man and woman must be a couple" type of romance but it is not. Although I personally do ship a throuple with another lady, the MC and the Male Lead which is also a very popular ship)
does someone know manhwas like eleceed where every character the mc meets, gets overprotective of them (i'd prefer it to be bromance/fruity atleast)
