Anyone have any recs/lists for shounen in a fantasy medieval setting? Doesn’t necessarily have to be Reincarnation/Transmigration but anything is welcomed. Like fairy tale, the beginning of the end, seven deadly sins, etc. Preferably no romance but if there is female leads need to be *tolerable* or *ignorable/skimmable*. Not infuriating. Thanks!

    I can't believe I got reincarnated

Anyone have any recs where either the MC or ML is careless with the other's feelings because they are "straight" or any other reason, then realize how much the other means to them after they've hurt the other.

Do you guys have any recs where mc's "friend" knowingly gets with the mc's crush/bf (or gives the impression that they did)? ML doesnt have to be the crush/bf end the end, just feeling for some friendship angst. Preferably a satisfying end though like the mc gets their lick back or something idk.

Will they ever be an actual action fantasy bl? Im tired of reading the trash of the count's family, omniscient reader's pov, (i cant remember the name but that one that raises s class creatures), regressor instruction manual, or any of the popular shounen fantasy adventure isekai webtoons, and being tormented that the mc and his friend shld kisssss.

My taste is manly men, i love a competent uke (bonus if they have the manly build too: with a strong wide back, juicy pecs, thick thighs). I love shounen mcs, the action is amazing and theyre mostly self-reliant. But most of the fantasy bls ive read so far, for the most part they just hold on tight to the seme's op thigh. Theyre really focused on the romance but i want some fighting too!! At least there's a good amt of shounen mcs that have majority action and romance as a side dish, which I like, but once it's BL?? romance and action switch.

I don't even care if the seme is the mc, i just want a manly competent mc in an ACTION fantasy adventure to kiss his best friend on the side please.

    you will find what you're looking for in Danmei novels. consider that most of the titles you named are originally webnovels. so might as well go to the source material and look there.

    Turning has both novel and manhwa is being adapted
    And Chinese stuff
    Go for mdzs and other work by the author
    I recommend switching from yaoi to shounen ai since the chinese stuff don't get the naughty things adapted in manhua only descripted in novels
    But they do have some decent action

MC reincarnates into the villainess with white hair. She has a reputation for being obsessed with the ml with black hair. She chills down in her body, and finds the og-protagonist as a child to return him to his uncle (ml who she was obsessed with). She doesn't want it known that she found and is friends with the og-protag because ppl wld naturally assume that she did it to get closer to the ml (because of her reputation). Og-protag is so freaking adorable you just wanna squeeze his little face. Og-protag is innocently shipping ml and mc because he wants the ppl he loves to be with him more. She's also doing some subtle scheming behind the scenes so Og-protag can have a good life.

Idk if im mixing it up some details with a different one (that i also can't remember the name of) where mc has brown hair and her family is in debt, she looks for the Og-protag in a dump, she takes care of him for a few weeks because he's recovering and gets attached. When she takes protagonist to the ml, protagonist cries for her to stay, so she stays for a while then ml n mc decide on arranged marriage.

BL recs where they save the other/each other from neglectful/abusive families. They become the others/each others safe haven and found family, and they live happily ever after. ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ

Bonus if karma is not blind (≧∀≦)

Is there any fantasy world recs that focus more on worldbuilding or the slice of life of living in a fantasy world that doesn't stray too far into "arc 3: epic fight, arc 4: epic fight, arc 5: epic fight" i mean they're cool and all but I'm looking for something more slow paced with a MC that actually interacts with the world.

i was reading https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/kamitachi_ni_hirowareta_otoko/ and i had liked the beginning with him surviving in the forest, i also liked him making a unique/niche business in the fantasy world using the slimes, i just got reaaaaallllyyyy turned off by the implication that the little noble girl is a love interest when he is mentally THIRTY-NINE YRS...

I had liked this fantasy comic called "Alfie" by Incase but it was 97% porn

I liked https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/remonster/ in the beginning when it was about group building and stuff..

It doesn't have to be isekai.. idk what I'm asking for. Im a fan of DnD too, so idk if i shld be looking for this in western comics or something but YK!!

IT'S A FANTASY WORLD!! LET'S EXPLORE IT!! NOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE POWERSCALING AND THE MC DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS OP INVULNERABLE SUPERMAN, THEY CLD HAVE THEIR SHORTCOMINGS AND THEY CLD RELY ON THEIR TEAM, AND THE TEAM OF CHARACTERS CLD BE THE MCs OR WE CLD JUST GO ON SILLY LITTLE FANTASY ADVENTURES AND LEARN STUFF ABOUT A MAGICAL WORLDD AND MAYBE WE FIGHT SOME BAD GUYS BUT NOT ALL THE TIME WHERE IS THE MAGIC?? WHERE IS THE FUN? THE TOWNS?? THE PEOPLE? THE PLANTS?

Sorry guys I'm rambling and going crazy lol.

Idk exactly what type of recs I'm looking for so I'll just list some things I like about this. it's alright if your rec only has one or a few of what I'm listing:
1. A seme who chooses to be a silly goofy guy but is actually intimidating.
2. A seme who is strong but tries his best to be gentle
3. Perfectionist uke with a mask
4. Rivals (laced with sexual tension) to lovers
5. you can feel their tension, attraction and chemistry through every interaction, even when theyre just acquaintances (like this seme's interest in the uke starting all the way back to that first drinking get-tgt)
6. Uke tries to do difficult things on his own but in the end learns he can trust his friends to protect him
7. Likeable secondary characters (like the chairman's daughter, the coffee guy, uke's work team, even the stalker grew on me)

GxB, GL, BL, doesn't matter, you can just say what type it is when you rec~
I'm looking for novels (or manhwas) where mc has family that is neglectful/abusive, or believes antagonist' lies over mc, then regrets or is torn up by guilt when it's too late (or maybe it isn't too late and they slowly build back trust and respect). They're initially prideful and rarely give mc the benefit of the doubt due to habit, and their negative perception slowly start being chipped away when they realise the extent of their prejudice/lack of empathy.

This type of story would most likely be Second Chance, Transmigration or Reincarnation something, but as long as it's neglectful family deeply regrets and grovels, then I'm all ears!

I've read Death is the only ending for the villainess novel and was supposed to be letting the manhwa marinate but I caved and binged it. I also made a whole list of this type and I'm hungry for more: https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/1104372/

Any recs where a male MC reincarnates as the villain like Trash of the Count's Family https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/trash_of_the_count_s_family/ , and is also fantasy/magic action packed? No BL unless the MC is active in the fight scenes and are really cool.

In a lot of cases when a female MC reincarnates as the villain, they tend to become a passive saint. So I'm hoping to see MCs who have at least 1 or 2 of the following traits: confident, smart (maybe even calculating), intimidating, rough exterior with a golden heart (bonus if those who really care can see it) and especially really cool to watch in a fight. Thanks in advance!
