dislike the seme of the second couple. too much chapters on flashback
BJ alex
even after jiwon's character development, I still dislike him even when I knew the reason he's a rude bastard. sure he's somewhat pitiful and is reasonably distrustful and spiteful, but he obviously knows uke is in love with him but still fuck with him? he should've cut it off sooner, no matter how harsh his words are gonna be, to spare him the heartbreak that he once experienced before. jiwon's redemption is too short. sure, he realized his feelings and stalked uke for a while, but it's not enough (i mean, sure he helped uke when he's sick, but didn't uke done the same for him, but he just told him off...like rude much?). I gotta admit, I was very happy when uke rejected him, but my happiness cooled down when uke admits he still loves jiwon. and then he kisses and forgives(?) everything after jiwon confessed (like, whyyyy??? that easily?? *sigh* (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ ). of course, I can't say I really like uke. he's very cute and precious...but he willingly dove into a pit called 'fuck buddies', fell for the seme when he shouldn't have, and his actions sometimes fairly incurred his irritation. i just wished he handled the situation a bit better. they're both idiots ig. that said, I think this is so popular bc the seme and smut is hot. fav. character is definitely the coworker. he's so supportive of uke and his personality is so lovable!!

damn, this is good. jesus christ, why did adult Anubis have to be so damn hot...
Stigma
it's somewhat dark and heartbreaking but rather realistic. the plot progression was heading into tragedy but the ending was satisfying and good. it was so painful to see mc's suffering and how people treated him like trash. tbh I didn't really like ml initially but he had amazing chara growth. and it was bc of him that mc developed a will to live and could stand up for himself... but it's unfortunate that justice doesn't always get served.
Given
so much drama in the relationship aspects. lots of chara development
Color Recipe
I've read other bl with yandere-ish seme, but this takes the cake. it has a realistic ending based on how the story was progressing. uke is a naive person, and his reactions to what the seme did to him are realistic. seme, this trash, had absolutely no character development till the end; he just made himself to be pathetic so uke would sympathize for him.
