SEO-AN | THE PIZZA DELIVERY MAN AND THE GOLD PALACE
Seo-an is so unique ♥ one of the reasons he’s my favorite is because his character feels so real and relatable. A big part of the plot is dealing with his anxiety and panic attacks and despite that vulnerability he is also so kind, patient, and sticks up for himself and others. I really like his character alone and paired with Woo-won ♥ I’m so excited to continue this story in February - I will be reading it as soon as it drops.

It’s him again!!! I can’t get over how much I love Taehee ♡♡ He had me the second that I read ‘The Power Fruit Girls’ (aka The Powerpuff Girls, which is a real show that I watched growing up)!! Anyway, I love Taehee for so many reasons, one being his introverted nature, the fact that he never tries to be someone he’s not, and always sticks up for his man!! I love how much he loves Dojin!! ♡♡
✧ - FAVORITE NEW BL
And the winner is...
THE PIZZA DELIVERY MAN AND THE GOLD PALACE
Okay, I was not freaking expecting this BL to become one of my ultimate favorites but oh my god!! It’s so good!! Not that much ‘plot’ happens, but I just love these two so much - individually and together. I also love a good cinderella story, and this one is so wholesome and beautiful!! The slow tensions growing between them, getting to know each other first, helping each other... I cannot freaking wait for them to be together (.づ◡﹏◡)づ. Upi (author & artist) has quickly became one of my favorite authors ❤❤❤
✧ - FAVORITE ONGOING BL
And the winner is...
TWITTERING BIRDS NEVER FLY
This BL has me in a chokehold lol whenever there’s a new chapter I have a physical reaction because I’m so excited to read it. And it will continue to have me in a chokehold until the final chapter!! I love and hate this slow burn so muchhhhhh (,,>﹏<,,) ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ oh my god I love it
✧ - FAVORITE BL THAT ENDED THIS YEAR

OH MY GOD, Semantic Error is everything!! The best enemies to lovers slow burn out there! The teasing! The tension! Sangwoo being Sangwoo (✿>ꇴ<) had me cracking up so many times - I can’t wait to read more ♡

// Killer Crush manhwa spoilers
Killer Crush has to be my favorite yaoi manhwa ever. The first two seasons were absolutely amazing, nice writing, nice art, nice plot, and perfectly balances between comedy and drama. At first I was kind of disappointed at their separation ss3; but the author, as always, surprised me at how well they could write a relationship and didn’t make all the developments go to waste. This scene in the newest chapter just hits so hard, we’ve seen everything they went through for each other and now it just further shows how far they would go for someone they love. The lighting, colors, and the expressions are also perfect AAAaa
Taeman went through so much and it made sense for him to wants to run away🥺 And Dahyeok..you did not just exploded a building and a car for him😭💀

Hi... Can I ask for BL recs that have the same vibe as Kazuki and Rei from Buddy Daddies? Can be couples with a child or without a child? Thanks so much....
I haven't read many BLs that have kids so I'm waiting until I read more before making a list!
But here are some that come to mind:
Boss Bitch Baby | rich bottom x poor top, top who cooks & cleans, cute & funny! (Ongoing & new, I recommend waiting for more official chapters to release before starting this one)
Liveta | fantasy, prince bottom x commoner top, wholesome couple. The prince in this one is definitely babygirl! (warning: some violence & stuff) (ongoing)
Killer Crush | adults, goofy sunshine actor x professional killer, EPIC COMEDY (ongoing)
●
Oh! My Assistant | adults, manga creators, sunshine top x quiet bottom, very cute! (completed)
The Metalhead Next Door | adults, neighbors, sunshine x metalhead (completed)
The Beast That Yearns to be Tamed | college, slight age gap, cute (completed)
Love Tractor | loud buff farmer x quiet city boy, so wholesome!! (completed)
Lucky Paradise | college, sunshine/goofball x quiet type (completed)
The Third Ending | adults, wholesome AF, sunshine x quiet sunshine (completed)
( ^◡^) I recommend all of these, especially the top three. Enjoy!
