I thought I hated slow burn (well i dont know if this is one of them but I hope it is so that the chapters will take much longer before Hanjun even feels more than comfortable to let Yujae buy something for him) - that is until I actually digest this one now that it has 50+ chapters. Because the slow burn is actually natural, turns out all the ones I've read that I hated majority of the times - were just too forced. Like what the hell do you mean y'all are purposely avoiding each other ALL THE TIME. These two though? It's so weird ig for average people how some days they act so close w each other but the next, one snaps at the other and they ignore each other - and returns back to the former like a cycle. But I think we should all remember that they're originally best friends. Not some close friend, not some co-worker or shit but genuine best friends who've seen each other's worst and best moments and stayed. So I do love slow burn, these crazy luxury we get when they kiss for a moment not knowing when we'll get another - but most out there are just terribly done so this definitely opened my eyes on good slow burn story.
It makes me realise that stories these days are so fast paced with how quick they're fucking each other and really tends to do a huge time skip like 2 years later, 5 years later or worse 10 years later. Yall take your time, w how good the story is progressing, I wouldn't even mind if it'd take another hundred chapters before yall finally start getting down w it.
Mc is a detective. One day he received a letter addressed to his house, requesting him to investigate the disappearance of an old priest in a small town. He goes to the church and met a young man priest who turns out to be a vampire and tried to drink his blood. Reason a human could beat up the vampire is long story short, mc is nearly awakened and gained superhuman strength. Wasn't that impressive since he was not trained tho, he's lucky the vampire was starving and weak (Old priest used to supply blood packets to him but bc she disappeared, he couldn't drink blood and starved. Also why he wants the detective to help look for her.)
So the vampire told him abt this awakening which is based off a demon's ability. And to get that ability, they have to make a contract w that devil, in return that they suck your soul till you die. Mc made a contract w a logic demon when he was a kid - now he awakened w the power to locate things (it's funny at first i swear lmao). Oh and yea, he finna die soon if he doesn't break the contract. He never knew until the young priest told him ofc (or not young, he was hundreds years old). There's also more awakeners as you read further into the story because now that mc learnt abt the devil contracts, he volunteers to solve the problems of a cult group forcing people into making contracts w the devils (related to disappearance of the old priest and his past).
PS. there's kinda like a tool sealing that contract and it's a doll or plush, or cute keychain - different for each of the awakeners. You just have to break them to release yourself from the devil (but still having their abilities, except you won't die anymore). Mc had a crocodile keychain as the contract tool and broke it, the vampire helped him with training his own ability and strength.
/ the potential bl part is bc i think i found it from the sho ai tags. but the two did acted like married couples earlier into the story, it was so cute. OH AND THERES A POTENTIAL LESBIAN COUPLE LATER WHICH WAS EVEN CUTERRR AHXUWNSG /
PLS tell me the title. My dumbass seriously just left it on tab and the tab group disappeared so now I gotta find it.
mc: tall slim muscular, black hair (green eyes when he uses his power)
ml: tall slim, blonde hair and blue eyes (red when he uses his vampire ability)

Just to clarify, maybe not today because I mean likr, where's the fun if you read these stupid stuff alone. So I'll keep this as a list to group read w my friends, thanks again y'all ily
Thanks for the luck mate... You're scaring me but okay, thanks
this trope should be much much more popular than those typical "mc in debt and stuck w some mafia gang member for life". I swear I see more of these in light novels but not a lot have been adapted into manhwa :(( Other than this, there's like only one finished manhwa with this trope lol. Anybody got an idea what to name the trope? If this trope becomes a tag on AO3, you bet somebody's having a field trip day (it's me)
Oh yea, those 'MC in debt and enslaved to ML' type stories lol. I got sick of the rapey MLs and weak MCs for those.
Idk if there's even a trope for this lol. Hmm, if you read straight villainess webtoons, it actually feels similar to those 'MC transmigrates into evil villainess body and tries to play nice with ML' type stories. That's the closest I can think of?
Eh wait, I just remembered there's actually a lot of this trope that I just mentioned in bl too. Mostly chinese bl xianxia novels. But I can't think of mafia ones off my head.
do u have any recs?
one hundred thousand million percent agree with you. this trope is my absolute fave fave fave fave!!!!!!!!!!!
think im actually growing ill over it...
two I think with similar tropes is
Accidental Mark (rich ceo alpha x weak actor omega, mc transregresses into alpha but they dynamics dont change really, just makes the life better for the omega)
Transmigrating into the Heartthrob's Cannon Fodder Childhood Friend (mc transgressed into the childhood friend of the book's mc, but the friend is irrelevant until he mc transregresses, and oaths to stand by the book's mc side and protect them from the three toxic tops [and yes, the roles do reverse for these two!!]
If anyone has more, do tell us!! I'll binge em.
Yes please
Hi unless I interpret the trope yall are referring to wrong, this is what I got rn. (Mc x novel mc)?
Survive as a villain - mc transmigrates as a villain emperor than imprisons the mc of a stallion novel (stallion meaning harem I’m pretty sure) I think it’s on this website as ‘to be or not to be’.
The Demon Lord Only Wants to Follow the Script - mc transmigrates as a demon lord that falls in love with the novel’s bottom mc, kidnapping him and keeping him as his sex slave. But mc kinda just treats novel mc awkwardly nicely, making novel mc slowly start to warm up to him.
Mistakenly saving the villain - a system assigns mc to save the tragic bottom from being a sex slave in a novel, but mistakenly saves ANOTHER person instead (the villain in the novel). Mc treats the ml like a proper human being while the ml has trust issues after being subjected to decades of literal torture and sexual abuse. It’s kinda dark but it’s basically how to heal a yandere LOL
If You Don’t Become the Main Character, You’ll Die - this one is actually Korean, the male lead is more of an protagonist of an action novel (cough orv cough) rather than romance and mc has special 4th wall powers and casually talks to the authors and have really fun existential crises while realizing that everything isn’t real. I really do recommend this one
My Boyfriend Is the Heartthrob, and I’m Just a Passerby - mc knows that hes in a novel, and is the boyfriend of an absolute beauty that everyone can’t help but stare and drool at, and hes just the disposal bf before the real mls start to chase the novel mc. But it’s horror.
Oooh that's a nice list! I'll give some of my own recs. I read Mistakenly saving the villain and Survive as a villain before, both are good.
After the Disabled God of War Became My Concubine:
Very similar to Survive as a villain MC is also an emperor who used to torture the ML while the ML is their enemy country's general. I do prefer this one as there are no overly drawn out misunderstandings.
Transmigrated into a Heartthrob Novel and Went OOC:
My all time fave that I like to rec everywhere. MC transmigrated as the obsessed sect brother of the beautiful protag ML and decides to live as a salted fish away from the ML(lazy bum). When MC first meets ML they have an incident and he screams that he can't erect it lol.
Where is Our Agreement to be Each Other’s Arch-Rivals?
MC transmigrated into a xianxia story where he's the villain and must follow the script (typical svss premise but flipped).
The Male Lead’s White Moonlight is Attracted to Me!
School AU. MC transmigrated into a danmei story where his original body killed the male lead's white moonlight.
I have many others but hmm these are the ones I recall most.
Transmigrating into the Reborn Male Lead’s Ex-Boyfriend is another that is more similar to this webtoon. Modern au with the MC being the villain in the original story who made ML's life hell.
Oh I considered putting disabled god of war on my list but I thought it was too similar to survive as a villain LOL
Thanks for your recs! Let’s find more danmei lurkers here!!
You guys are goated for the recs THANK YOU
omg the second one AAAAA cant believe i found another fellow fan here, that novel has a soft spot in my heart Everyone's super nice and sweet under this thread, it's so wholesome how the recs just keep on coming ><
how do i save a thread because yall are saving my life rn
