What do y'all mean when you say ML and MC (classy terms for seme and uke ig) Which one is ...

Generally from what i have understood since its mostly on the pov of the uke its more of
Mc: uke
Ml: seme

But ig that sometimes really depends on the context of the story. Whether its focusing on the uke/semes life then u can interpret them as mc

k thanks

Mc= main character (usually the bottom)
Ml= male lead (usually the top)

So i actually ask this a while back bc in my head is
MC= main character
ML = main lead
But apparently is actually
MC = male character (??)
ML = male lead
Pretty stupid imo bc well.. it's a BL, of course they're male lol

Anyways whoever it's the protagonist is the MC, bc honestly why would you call "main character" the love interest instead of the character that's telling the story??

What? MC means main character and ML means main lead. It's the same terms for every media outside of BL and it doesn't have anything to do with bed positions.

MC = Main character
ML = Male lead

MC can be uke or seme in BL. It only depends on the story when we're reading it from the seme's point of view, then seme becomes MC. Most of the times, we have lots of stories with uke's POV, so perhaps you were just confused.

Mc = main character, ml = male lead
People conflate these two with bottom and top respectively because most of the time the bottom is the mc in bl so people just came to assume that the mc is always the bottom (which lowkey feels like fetishization but that’s a whole other can of worms). But there’s still plenty of stories where the top is the mc.
