Stories like Merry Marbling, Melting Point, Unintentional Love Story, and Projection are really nice. They're somewhat deep in later chapters WITHOUT the needless drama/angst, toxic personalities or backstories, or sexual-abuse-leading-to-romance buildup that some writers exploit a little too much to get attention. There's also space for humor as the protags seem to have a bad start at first and stumble into all sorts of stupid accidents and situations that eventually help them grow feelings for each other. Also, the seme-types here are more caring, funny, and mature in all sorts of ways. The uke-types, for that matter, are not the usual type just wanting to get laid- they're not naive, pathetic, or helpless like most and actually have "character" so to speak.
I feel like ML is a blaring red flag. My red flag senses are tingling damnit. I just want a fluffy love story cmon why is the market saturated with redflags?
