bestest bois of the best - mostly catered towards the semes ❤️
this stack also doubles as my fav BLs that i would recommend <:
note: as with most yaoi plots, characters (usually the semes) often start off toxic and may even remain so throughout the whole story. hence i've given my personal reasons for why they made this list and included a part to mention if they are complete green flags 🟢, red flags 🔴, or if they started out red and became green, so it's easier to choose which ones to avoid if for example you really can't stand non-con stuff. but seeing as this is a list of my best BL boys, most of them are gonna be green flags hehe
also, won't include "romance" or "smut" in the tags because 99% of the list has them

❤️ Lee Wooyeon (seme) x Choi Inseop (uke)

• wooyeon is literally a diagnosed psychopath so...
• it’s actually very heartbreaking to see how often wooyeon loses his mind and does the craziest things because of inseop. the guy needs to be checked into a mental institution fr
• i'm mainly putting this title in this list because i love inseop so much ): he just keeps getting taken advantage of by mentally unstable people and i wish i could protect him from all of it!!! he is too kind and sweet for this cruel world!!!

❤️ Cain (seme) x Do Kyungjoon (uke)
• red or green flag seme?: kinda sus in the beginning since he's a demon lord after all, but he ends up being the greenest green flag ever!!
• FIRST AND FOREMOST, THE SMUT IN THIS IS INSANE. the uncensored version almost gave me a nosebleed what the heck it's so intense
• tbh i put this one off for a long time because the art style is very seinen-action manhwa type which is not my fav but if you already love it then you'll love this, and if you don't, here's me telling you to give it a chance, you won't regret it
• the plot's great, the relationship between the characters are great, the romance/smut is great, i actually don't have any complaints other than the art style not being my fav but that's a personal preference thing bc the art IS good
• the relationship between cain and kyungjoon will be one of the sweetest and most passionate things you'll ever see
• cain literally be the kind of antihero that's like, the world can burn for all i care, if kyungjoon isn't it. but as long as the love of my life lives on this planet, i'll fight till my death to protect it
