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 ♡

Robooty Reviews: Killer Crush (10/10) PERSONAL FAVORITE
Professional killer Joo Taeman has found himself completely head over heels with Korea's biggest heart throb actor Kang Da-Hyuk. Not to be confused with the average hobbyist serial killer, Joo Taemin's professional is his legitmate career and he has endured severe training mentally and physically his entire life to be up to the job. But suddenly he finds himself melting from the mere glance at Da-Hyuk's "boy next door" smile! This manhwa is packed to the brim with comedy and cute pannels. IF YOU LIKE ROBOOTY STYLE ITAGER YOU WILL LIKE THIS.
First review eeheehee! And whats more fitting than to continue this draft i made all the way back in March 2023? Dont expect proper summaries for the next ones lol. but ohhhh my god... this one is so good okay. ITS SO FUNNY AND AAUGWHHS ITS LIKE ROBOOTY ITAGER ADJACENT. LIKE FUCKING TRUST ME RN OKAY. THIS READS LIKE AN ITAGER AU TO ME ALRIGHT GUYS ITS NOT FULLY THE SAME OBVIOUSLY BUT IT HAS LIKE... COCAINE. COKE-HYENA! IF YOU LIKE THE SHIT I MAKE YOU WILL MOST DEFINATELY LIKE THIS!!!!!!
The romance is so cute too and ohh my god this art is to die for it's sooooo good.. I wish i drew as good as the author.... IM SO MAD THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO ORDER THINGS USING A KOREAN WAREHOUSE ADDRESS BECAUSE THERES OFFICIAL PLUSHIES AND I WANTED ONE SOOOO FUCKING BAD AUGH **TEARING GRASS OUT OF THE EARF**
Anyways rn it's on hiatus because season 2 finished and I'm going to cry I need season 3... I wish there was a physical print of this PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE A PHYSICAL PRINT I WILL BUY EVERY SINGLE VOLUME. This is my first post and it's a 10/10 but no seriously guys. I dont give out 10/10s like candy alright. It's that good. This is unironically the only yaoi manga that I would feel comfortable recommending to anyone because its just a genuinely good comic. (It's not my all time favorite yaoi, but it holds second/third place with another manga I'll talk about later).
I love this shit. it's hilarious. I don't laugh often while reading yaoi (such a shame) or well even laugh often while reading manga (I need more comedy in mai life), but this made me laugh a whole lot. So good...... please read this I am begging you

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!
