Second ML: yandere (breaks MC's leg so he can't leave), extreme desire for control

Transmigration into a BL novel however the plot is deceptive because OG protagonist gong and Shou were using each other for their own ambitions (it's satisfying when MC tricks manipulative characters, there's a lot of misleading and deception going on). MC and ML are enemies to lovers - MC blackens when ML tortures him in a dream (ex: burning, drowning, stabbing, choking etc) and MC loves getting revenge so the tension between them is so hot LOL (ex MC burns ML's things, carves his name on Ml's heart, tricks and traps ML all the time, and ML is masochistic because he gets turned on by MC's ruthlessness lol). However, although MC gets more malicious and becomes a lunatic like ML, he values friendship and chooses the righteous path because he cares about his friends (who are sincerely good and kind people, easily deceived that MC wants to protect them and give MC's a reason to live). MC doesn't want ML to destroy the world for their sake (and he loves peace lol) YANDERE evil ghost ML becomes more obsessed with MC because MC keeps him on his toes and ML "lives" for the excitement (later on it's revealed everything MC burns goes to ML, EVEN HIS SOILED UNDERWEAR LOLOL). Their love making scenes are also well written and worth rereading!! Ex: MC teases ML and takes initiative to be a bottom because ML is a virg*n. Later on he and his cross-dressing friend come up with seduction schemes to make ML go crazier for MC LOL

On that note, gotta mention that MC is really attractive to tops. So for example the top master (original gong) who has a strong desire for control develops an attraction to MC. It gets to the point where he threatens to break MC's legs if MC were to be involved with his evil ghost lover again. Things escalate, and when MC declares he wants to leave (and tells his "Mr" master legitimate reasons why he doesn't want to stay) his master pretended to be calm and has MC get him tea (so MC is like, 'what is he plotting?"). He followed MC to the kitchen and as MC was walking up the stairs with the tea he manipulates a paper man to break MC's ankle and MC fell down the stairs into his arm. He then locks up MC in a room and declares MC can leave when he heals which really implied he won't let MC go. Turns out he's also a yandere and the "break your legs" promise came true. Obviously though, MC hates being controlled (he also really hates Fate who used him as a chess piece)

On another note, MC accepts ML's extreme possessiveness and desire for control (one of ML's henchmen notices that ML who has a sense of fashion chooses what MC, who doesn't care about fashion, wears. So, obviously as MC falls more in love with ML, he gives exceptions to ML). Their romance is so exciting hahahaha <<less

ML: stalking, a little controlling, obsessive, "Overbearing President" sometimes (kissing MC whenever & uses money to get what he wants)... more>>

Transmigration into a "sadomaso" BL novel where MC changes the fate of everyone who was wronged by the original protagonist (who isn't a good person, they can't accept the one they love to love anyone else and would rather have them dead). ML is the original villain who has no affection for the original shou, and although the relationship between MC and ML progressed fast (lots of coincidental encounters and attraction lol) MC has his reservations, and he realized he was screwed (he cried while looking out the window) when his assistant pointed out that by accepting 10 billion dollars, ML has more power and control over the relationship. At least MC is safe because, ML, who is pure, genuinely likes MC and despite the overbearing president things he does, as he'll always be there for MC (answers his calls even when MC was drunk calling lol, and willing to financially support. He's so serious about MC that he brings MC to his family banquet and introduces MC to his elders). If anything, ML wanting the MC family shares was probably because ML wanted to obtain MC from the start (he's obsessed with MC, not so much the stocks)

To sum up: in beginning ML was stalkering MC (gathering info, gave him a matching phone to call and text, suddenly kissing him when they met the 3rd and 4th time), tries to buy MC's kisses, enters an ambiguous relationship then they start dating but during the process he gets jealous of MC smiling at other men and MC also gets jealous of ML's cousin (MC's love rival lol)

Sometimes the writing style is crack-like (the pace is fast and the characters thoughts are funny lol), however the inside jokes are good and the best written parts are the meaningful moments when MC gives important life lessons and advice to other characters (like his roommates, his best friend and even his brother's future partner who is better than original protagonist). He tells them to be careful and be smarter, because MC doesn't want them to be deceived and have their own lives ruined by the original greedy protagonist like in the original plot. (MC reveals further insight while interacting with ML's grandfather behind ML's back). What kept me going was the translator and the other reader's comments who give insight into what is going on (especially when MC was drunk and thought he was the legendary white snake, later on he scared a snake away by hissing at it LOL).

MC is charming (lots of boys charmed by his good looks) and he's caring. I honestly also love the interactions with his older brother (original ML) and his best friend (QJ). Like, MC wants them to live happier (their original ending is tragic) and so he treasures them. He protects his brother by working hard (to have money to pay off future debts) and he prevents his brother and the original protagonist from meeting (since original protagonist is manipulative to drive the original ML to death). MC also looks out for his best friend, because his best friend was the one who pursued justice for the original's mu*der.

Side couples keep popping up: ML's best friend (rich shady 28 year old) started seducing MC's best Friend (rich second generation willful tough cutie) LOLOL birds of a feather flock together. MC's brother fell instantly in love with original protagonist's rival (when they first met MC's brother shook his hand, wouldn't let go and offered an endorsement saying "this has nothing to do with my bro" while prota' rival awkwardly smiled at MC LOL, their relationship further develops when MC's bro saves his life so he tolerates the constant communication) <<less

One of the kids (JL): baby yandere, black-bellied

If you read this, know that it's a slice of life and the highlight is the character depth and healthy/unhealthy family relationship dynamics & development. Most of the time I enjoyed the kids on the scene; Ji Leyu (Xiao Yu/little fish OG "YANDERE villain") and Lin Fei (Fei Fei, OG cold-hearted white moonlight of OG FL), as well as the MC bringing solid parenting (understands the needs of the kids way more than his husband who the kids think needs protection LOL). And also MC and ML being dramatic (while face slapping others) for comedic relief with their "I'm so moved, are you moved?" and ML pretending to be a dumb love-brain XD Also, Ji Leyu's dad (ML's dead brother) also gets fleshed-out.

As for the yandere: definitely original blackened Ji Leyu. Current baby villain Ji Leyu is a black sesame dumpling (cute and sweet on the outside and has malicious inner thoughts) - he's so petty he gets revenge on anyone who insults the people he cares about. He also gets possessive of his older brother Lin Fei (who accepts him for who he is) and demands Lin Fei doesn't befriend anyone else or give anyone else presents (it's okay if it's their dads though ahaha). To be honest, Ji Leyu and Lin Fei's brotherly relationship is really cute and sweet, and for the best considering how unhappy the original versions were...

Other manipulative characters: there's this one actor who has an intense desire for control of pretty boys and wanted MC to be his marionette, however MC deals with him with the help of his friend (who is destined to become a film emperor in the original novel).

I wrote a review hahahahaI ended up loving this story especially with the warm-like-the-gentle-sun MC who realizes he's in that world to help the regrets of the other characters (not just ML or the original villain, but also Shi Zheng, Qin Wu, NingYu, Yu Jiaoyu and to an extent Su Tong who also remembers Ji Yuling. There's other friends MC makes who are hilarious and he invites all these good friends to his wedding which was sweet). Also the scripts MC picks up are beautiful stories!

Although some people said they're not as into this story as other works by the author, to be honest i love this one because of MC's maturity (even though his body is 22 he's an adult who's so considerate of others and very kind). I'm a huge fan of this one, and yeah I'm definitely going to look into the works i haven't read yet, since i like this author's style AHAHAHA <<less

Action Mystery Romance Yaoi

ML: possessive, dominant, stalkerish, subtle manipulative? ... more>>

Mystery/detective BL in the entertainment circle with face-blind sleepy MC (who is cutely arrogant most days) x hidden background ML who was a delinquent in his youth. Really good pacing of natural chemistry between the two leads as they get involved in solving cases (a drug ring, human trafficking, plagiarism and a serial killer). Of course the thems are dark and gruesome, but i also really enjoyed the relationship MC has with his honest manager (who calls him dad LOL) and his honest best friend (who owns a food stall lol).

MC is my favorite MC - badass, stands up for what is right, human. He's always sleepy though and ML described him as "his family's cat" on social media before they came out. He' also thinks he's the most handsome and can only recognize his own face or his mom's, so it took him a while to find ML attractive because MC is face-blind. Lol

ML is gay and was actually hesitant and considerate with MC because he thought MC was straight, later on he's determined to marry MC for real and tells MC he fell in love with his soul. His dominant in the relationship and has an "animal-like possessiveness" towards MC. Heehee. He's a little stalker ish since he shows up when MC needs him (ex: MC was homeless after terminating his contract) and when he was "chasing his wife" he shows up on the same variety show as MC or is filming next door to MC hahaha sure ok. Also MC and ML's chemistry~ MC unintentionally flirts with ML (ex: he was reciting the heroine's Lines and kissed the corner of ML's lips) - oOoOO they keep joking about "having accounts to settle"

There's even a really hot photo of them (when they were undercover) where MC was straddling ML and kissing him - but the author uses the word "ride" HAHAHA

So grateful for the comedic writing because again the story would be much more sombre without it. For example (spoiler) MC wakes up from a coma after a mu*der attempt from the serial killer, and he notices ML looked haggard (from worry). So to lighten the atmosphere he pretends to have amnesia and ML plays along, but MC's manager drops the fruit basket in shock because the MC and ML's acting too real LOL <<less

I was looking for the stories that make my adrenaline rush when I came across with this list. The description for the novels are intriguing and I decided to choose one of recommendations. Behold 'This Damn Thirst For The Survival ' is so good to the point that each and every chapter is so unpredictable and engaging. It has been so long since I have read novels with strong MC with Yandere ML (LOL) (of course with good plot). THANKS A LOT FOR THIS LIST!!!

Thank ypu so much for the suggestions, it helped a lot. ✨ Hi, I wanted to ask do you know any novel, raw also no problem. 1. Where MC is a SHOU and he fake death by falling of the cliff ( BL) , transmigration where MC shou transmigrated and falls off the cliff to save himself (like running away)

2. Any QT novel which is BL where MC is a shou and every arc is a BE (bad ending), raw also no problem.

3. MC shou fakes that he has a split personality disorder, or Black room play or wife chasing cemetoriom, Blackened ML.

Please do help, if any one also know please do tell, I really want to read like this novel BL. ✨ Have great day ahead.
