So I recently read a few manga/manhwa that lowkey pissed me off because I liked some of the concept but hated the execution, I feel like they had potential but it was kinda wasted by the route the author went down. There were several and sadly I cannot remember the names off the top of my head to give for comparison, but I’ll write like a small summary of what I’m looking for and if anyone knows anything that’s even slightly similar to either of these three descriptions that would be amazing! Also these can be either BL, GL, or het, I have no preference in that regard, and I also don’t mind whether it’s nsfw or totally wholesome, I’m good with whatever.
1) Any love triangle series where EITHER: both leads are actually really decent people and it’s hard to tell who the MC will end up with, OR where the “main” one is a typical douche but contrary to the love triangle norm, the MC actually goes with the kinder one (I’m tired of getting my hopes up just to watch the MC end up with the one who sucks).
2) I read a manga where someone started dating the MC because he lost a bet or something, so like a fake dating thing, but the MC knew all along and went with it anyway, and things got sorted out pretty quick once the lead confessed that it started as a prank but turned into real love. It made me wanna see if there’s any prank-date “lost a bet” kind of thing where the MC genuinely doesn’t know and is actually hurt when they find out, and the lead actually has to WORK to earn back the MC’s trust instead of the “real” confession being accepted right away. (I feel like this will fuck me up emotionally but I want angst).
3) Lastly— is there a romance manga/manhwa where one of the leads is conventionally unattractive (whether it be weight or facial appearance or anything else) BUT doesn’t have to change themselves to make their partner or love interest like them? I read one recently where the MC had to lose weight for the ML to even respect her basically and it left a bad taste in my mouth lol— I just wanna see someone get accepted rather than force themselves to change. This can be purely fluff, or angst, I’m good with either.
Omg that was long. If you read this all, I love you.
1) https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/our_relationship_is/ both mls are decent. it's pretty obvious who the fl ends up with (because the end game ml has his own pov. and is on the cover.) but i remember feeling really sad for the second ml that he wasn't picked
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/hirunaka_no_ryuusei/ don't read the comments if you don't want to know who the fl ends up with. but it was hard to guess who she would end up with when the manga was still being updated
2) https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/from_points_of_three/ not really a "lost a bet" thing but more like a "i'm just using you to pass the time" thing. but i would always recommend this if anyone is after a chasing/ carthasis arc. the mc's hurt, fury, and resentment is depicted satisfactorily, and the ml's regret is also depicted satisfactorily, and is not over the top or undercooked
3) there'd be lots of these types of manga/manhwas, like here's a random list https://www.mangago.zone/home/mangalist/156446/ . shout out to https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/skip_to_loafer/ though
Is there anyone who can help me find the name of one of these two BL manhwa?
Both of them are likely at LEAST 6 or 7 years old by now, probably a bit older.
The first one I hardly remember any details about… I know it was about a hit and run car accident… someone left a scratch on someone else’s car, turns out they went to the same college or something. The one whose car got damaged was rich, the one who caused the accident was nearly broke, so the rich guy came up with an agreement that the other dude had to temporarily be his maid or something (I don’t remember if he actually had to wear a maid outfit or not but I know he would always call him his maid).
The second was about two high schoolers. One could read minds (I think it was specifically only hearing thoughts) and he found out some guy in his class liked him, so he kept getting closer to him I think out of amusement at first but then ended up actually falling for him. I don’t remember if I had gotten to where the other guy finds out about the mind reading, but the only other detail I remember is a flashback where the mind reader dude read his mom’s mind and heard her saying he’s a freak or something I dunno
Anyway I dunno if anyone will know these, I started them way back in 9th grade and can’t remember the names
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS I MISSED THIS SERIES SO MUCH
