I've been obsessed with the story for quite a while
the world building is so good here, the plot is plotting, the game mechanics and the character development.. the art.. and especially MC.. istg he's so hot

it's a chef's kiss story (੭ ;´ - `;)੭ ♡
i've been recruiting people to bada's pigtail cult and they all have been loving it so far lmao

off the top of my head? historical if it’s not toxic sludge and has a decent enough plot, since I have a huge soft spot for actual famous historical couples like alexander the great and hephaestion.

otherwise I just like simple soft stories, and don’t mind most otherwise as long as it’s not omegaverse crap.

Murderer Lewellyn's candlelit dinner

Love sick dog

Dark heaven

As you can see, all three are kinda similar. Two lovable characters who are both outcasts, falling in love and pulling eachother out of absolute shit.
I like characters that I can somehow relate to. And in these cases, I can relate to their loneliness.

rainbow city because idk it's something about the chemistry and the relationship buildup. Ima be honest, Im not the biggest fan of zombie apocalypse but I loved rainbossi cause instead of using zombies as a plot device for survival, it connects it to a much bigger part of the ice berg + futuristic elements with genetics/mutations and everything somehow despite having so many plot twists and turns, everything just clicks together in the end. The side characters r relevant and the main characters are written in such a way they seem generic but is actually the furthest from it.

I like bls that have a good plot where the love feels like a fun subplot. If they have long haired men even better. For some reason I can’t get into sci-fi/gaming/isekai bl. Ig I don’t like “clean” aesthetics if that makes sense. If the bl doesn’t have much of a plot though I’d prefer it to be a comedy.

i love everything as long as it’s not too cringe, doesn’t have any stupid pushover weak-ass mcs, no sa, rape, grooming, etc. i mean, who wouldn’t love a story with lovable characters? (characters who claim to 'love' their partner so much but still proceed to commit sa and rape are pure nonsense)

I forgot to mention it but yeah that’s why my favorite bl’s Sangyang:the wanderer. It focuses on the plot, it has fun side characters and there’s pretty long haired men. Also the aesthetic is more so gritty and gothic which I’m also a fan of. Basically I like it cuz it’s like a shounen but bl lmao.

For me, it’s gotta be Unsleep and Love In Orbit, although the reasons I like them are slightly different.
Love In Orbit has a very kind MC and the author has many panels showing the little things he does that highlights that trait. The MC’s emotions and trauma felt so realistic and in spite of it all he chooses to be kind in a way I don’t really see in other stories.
I love Unsleep because it’s so funny with a palpable underlying almost hidden sweetness to it, though the MC couldnt be more different than the one in Love In Orbit. The ML is the sweet one here and I love him so much. The MC from Love In Orbit and the ML from Unsleep have many panels of them being doting and attentive so that’s an odd coincidence.

it can range from sweet ones like Pink Heart Jam and Sonokoi Jihanki de Kaemasuka to deeper ones like Love Sick Dog and Stigmata. while there are more an example of my interest in chemistry, i love character focused stories and those that build on the relationship of the pair

read all those titles btw, so good
