Oh no. Please try other isekai for redeming your first with this genre.
Try those ones. They are all bl and have a isekai/"going back in time" theme
-Turning
-High School Return of a Gangster
-For You Who Grieves
-Approximal Guide
-Regas
-How the Sidekick Prince Lives Again
-A Guide Out to Succeed
Again is also a good read
As a person who is familiar with all the above
I'd like to make a suggestion
Try reading Turning novel as soon as you chach up with the manhwa
That shits gold in terms of
World building
Healing relationships
this isn't isekai tho. isekai means mc transported to another world. BL MANHWA examples are:
- crazy obsession
- stuck in my sister's dating sim
- I became the lousy side top
- don't press the button
- how to survive as a player
this is more like regression, which means, traveling back in time, part of time travel. BL MANHWA examples are
- turning
- how to raise a victim
- how the side kick prince lives again
- again
- shoot for the stars
(I'm just saying so that it wont confuse readers who are interested in these genres TvT)
Thanks for the recommendations! I really loved Again and Shoot for the stars but I didn't know about the others, so I'll put them in my list!
Thank you so much for the information. I didn't know there was a different term for stories like this. I'm not really familiar with reincarnation tropes because I didn't think I'd like them. Second chance/redemption usually implies there's pain in the past, and the older I get, the more I dislike angst. I thought this would be a simple, sweet, slow-burn arranged marriage story, but boy, was I wrong...
you're welcome! im happy you're checking them out! they're amazing in their own ways <333
that's okay, we have our own preferences and sometimes, curiosity do kills the cat (learned it the hard way lol) and im with your sentiments. i too would like to stay away from angst the more i get older because i learned it shortens my life span (this is said to be scientifically proven). but somehow, stories are so beautiful that i couldn't resist reading it. angst loves finding me ToT
My first isekai BL...
Didn't see that coming.
