My favorite MLs after novel finished: Clyde > Ilya > Eugen > Damian >>>>>>> Oswald
ML in the end is Clyde and even though he’s basic and cliche as ML, I understand why he was picked. It’s process of elimination honestly. All MLs (except Clyde) are too possessive of Tereze and didn’t like she has other people she loved, like her family or her friends. Tereze is the creator and she loves her creations, so when MLs killed or hurt innocents to manipulate and possess Tereze, she won’t accept it and reject MLs. I saw it as her bottom line.
This manga got similarities yet the plot is quite different from each other. My Fav! This is in a random order. I will update in as I come across more similar manga which I like.
EDIT: Thank you! I never thought the list I created cause I was bored will get followed by 3k+.. Glad to know we got similar taste in manga~ :)
