well this is certainly not BL. but from what I heard the novel has two version, the white and black version. The black is BL ヾ(☆▽☆)
Unfortunately though, the novel did not get translated.
Ahhh If only the black one has a manga adaptation too ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
Yes, it is indeed not bl and somehow that also feels nice. Just good companionship and fantasy!
I read comments below stating that, ahhh I'd buy it if it was translated even!!! None have been translated so far, hopefully in the future they are!!!
A manga adaptation would be fabulous ヾ(☆▽☆)
I'm in chapter 6 at the moment, let me clarify I'm both an avid bl reader, as well as fantasy/shounen/isekai fan; I can separate them. I've NEVER felt so many bl-vibes from a shounen before, not even with actual bromances.
It just feels like Rizel is collecting everyone in his harem like pokemon, and they're all slowly falling for him... I know the author specified it in a note but at the same time, I wonder... why would you NEED to actually clarify unless you yourself notice just... how much it can be misunderstood?
Of course, I respect the author's choices and I personally don't mind, I've been wanting good isekai content without harem or ecchi. Rizel is very beautiful as well, I love how cunning he is in comparison to his beautiful appearance ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
