Omg I’m one of the ppl who recommended it to u im glad ur enjoying it so far! Things are just getting started in the story so there’s even more good things to come. As for similar stories there’s none quite like this exactly but these have some similar aspects, if u notice i rly like long haired men :
plot heavy, also does some visual storytelling similar to sangyang

if by non-stereotypical BL's, you mean stories with intriguing plots & well written characters, i'd rec:
- dreaming of the dokkaebi (fantasy, has a shounen-like feel, reincarnation & reincounter)
- the art of taming a tiger (korean folklore, cute relationship, a bit of horror)
- raising a sacrifice (game-world, not everything is as it seems)
- killer crush (comedy, action, killer x movie actor, honestly wholesome)

Whoa! Was it you that recommended it? I’m so grateful. I probably would never have stumbled upon this otherwise. I just finished Season 2 and yeah… it’s just stunning. So many things are amazing, but I think that, above all, the art just shines and elevates this.
Thanks for the other recommendations- I’ll check those out as well.
I’ve never read a story quite like this and the art is just stunning. Only on Chapter 19, but it’s intriguing so far.
If anyone knows any non-stereotypical BL’s like this (even though there’s not that much BL here) please recommend.
