MC's relationship with his older brother is so sweet but heartbreaking at the same time. The desperate love his brother had for him even after finding out that he's actually just the demon king possessing his little brother's dead body actually made me cry
Where has this been all my life?! An actual hunter story with a MALE LEAD that is CENTERED around familial love instead of just action, and with no romance?? What is this sorcery.
ML's biggest regret in his previous life was how his relationship with his adoptive dad ended, and now that he traveled back in time he's forming a brand new father-son relationship with his younger!dad together with his younger self. AND IT'S SO GOOD
I love ML's relationship with his adoptive father, the god Elrien, so much! My favorite scene was when his father helped him out of his trauma about his abusive biological father
The last part of the novel is centered around ML and his father going to live in the dragon world and being a loving family. The father went crazy due to his wife's (ml's mother) death and only came to his senses when ML stabbed his own heart in front of him; since that moment he became his whole world and he became the most affectionate father ever
Count’s Youngest Son is a Warlock (novel only)
My absolute favorite korean author, whoever they are THEIR NOVELS ARE MY ROMAN EMPIRE.
Another story with a male lead that is actually centered around familial love and friendships, and it's so incredibly well done!! His family is incredibly loving and supportive, especially due to his trauma, and I also loved the crescendo of him hiding his identity as a warlock from them and eventually being found out and accepted
I Became the Youngest of the Spirit Master Family (novel only)
^SAME AUTHOR, I don't need to say anything else.
This is much more heartbreaking than the first novel, but maybe even better in terms of depictions of family connections. In here the ML is just possessing the real son's body, and the story follows the process of them realizing this, accepting the real son's death and genuinely loving the ML for the lovely being he is. The psychology of the characters is top tier
One of the most original family dynamics in a manhwa among lots of cookie-cutter father-daughter stories. An abused FL finds a loving home in a family with adoptive parents and 2 older brothers. The focal point of the story is surprisingly the duchess, her mother, instead of the father like always, and all the family members have distinct and less stereotypical personalities
The entire family is lovely, but I especially adored the FL's relationship with her older brother. He's the only one she confesses her previous life to, and was loving and supportive of her the whole story. His presence was necessary to heal her wounds about her previous' life's older siblings, who brutally tortured and killed her
It takes a LOOONG time for the father-daughter pair to interact, let alone bond, but when they finally do IT'S SO GOOD. They both regressed multiple times (the father is an infinite regressor), and when they each find out, and also find out that they are biologically related, they really start bonding. They're also a power pair, they start plotting putting together the information they found out in their respective regressions
