Lee Sayoung from The hunter wants to live quietly, yes, he has the typical yaoi build and has a reputation for being cold BUT HE IS SO FUNNY (Not as much as another character named Hong Yeseong, I love him hahahaha) anyway, one time he was fighting with the main character about who gets to sleep on the floor or something and they punched a hole in the bed! It was so funny when referred to that incident as ‘breaking the bed’ then after people saw LSY (Lee sayoung) carrying a whole pile of pillows, blankets and all. I LOVE THAT SCENE and there was this one time LSY was laying on a couch or something and Bae won (i forgot his name) was trying to give him a report and LSY gestured that he was listening by wiggling his foot. IT WAS SO FUNNY TO READ IN THE NOVEL (it has manhwa dw) BECAUSE EVERYTIME THE GUY WOULD SAY SOMETHING LSY WOULD JUST GO ‘wiggle’ anyway I LOVE LEE SA YOUNG
Uhhh I forgot about him! That's exactly what I'm talkinh about (≧∀≦) he's amazing
There is minority! It feels super slow and like you’re alongside them in life. However despite that, it still baffles me that I’m finished reading it because so much happened. The male lead is good natured but you don’t get that first impression. He learns to become better in the end but his story is kinda sad.

It can get pretty weird at times because of the academy's rules and stuff, but I like the ML a lot. Calm, collected, but also responsible, reliable and polite. (So far. Prayer circle he'll stay this way.) TW for SA mentions and attempt, not between the protagonists.
Thank you for taking the time to reply , I'll be checking them out!
Been a while since I read some of these so not sure how they'll fit but hopefully one of these has what you're looking for and is something you havent read yet. Tried to choose the ones with semes that had what I considered normal or sort of balanced personalities.

No problem! Hope you'll enjoy at least one of them!
Uhhh thank you!!
Weirdly specific request but, any BLs with a male lead that has an actually good/sociable personality (and is NOT secretly a yandere/abuser or something, it's his actual personality) but is NOT the classic extremely innocent puppy seme.
Like, either the mature and reliable sunbae/senpai type or a more cheerful flirty type.
Basically: not the stereotypical cold/asshole ceo type but also not the total opposite, something in between.
An example are the typical second male leads that give you second-male-lead syndrome and NEVER end up with the main character
