Fuck
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.
PRAYING I’m wrong but why is my gut telling me he’s gonna see the teddy bear and snatch it and give it to Ari I will actually riot
I absolutely love this manga but I really wish there was more closure! With a few things, like Sentarou’s career for example (I feel like it ended so abruptly). Maybe there will be more closure in some of the side stories— I really hope so because I’m so not ready for this to be over
“I yearned for you as the Earth awaits dawn” what if I simply pass away. I love Albis so much holy shit— honestly if it happened in the beginning I wouldn’t have minded the threesome but Albis has grown on me so much that reading this lowkey felt like a punch to the gut
I feel like someone is gonna get mad at me for this lol but it’s genuinely so odd to me that in the stories of grown up Potato the author keeps adding moments of him being romantically interested in Papa Wolf :( Like that’s his adopted dad bruh. If the author wanted to add romance to this manhua using the already existing characters, they should make side stories of the blue haired guy and the orange haired guy instead, majority of the fandom (myself included) seems to ship them anyway so it would definitely be popular. The adult Potato stories always have me on edge though because I never know what to expect
