This is shonen ai, not yaoi (side stories in the novel are mature, 147-167, but probably won't have a manhwa release). Low-born knight X fallen duke, enemies to lovers, time regression. Interesting plot and occasional comedy. Series where misunderstandings are a main plot point normally infuriate me, but here the main longstanding one is done well and typically comedically (it doesn't harm anyone, which is also rare; it's just hilarious the ML basically has wattpad lore he's created in his head about MC). Misunderstandings seem to make sense here, they're not just thrown in for drama. Official on Manta, officials are here. Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/qldh6xr/the-fallen-duke-the-knight-who-hated-him Based on a web novel (complete in Korean at 146 chapters and 21 R19 side story chapters, not fully translated yet). Novel is not really a comedy like the manhwa is, but I love both. Novel chapters don't align for manhwa chapters (season 1 end of manhwa is chapter 29, but it's chapter 56 in the novel). It's not MTL, it's a really solid translation that's enjoyable to read: https://www.foxaholic.com/novel/circumstances-of-a-fallen-lord-1/ https://loomywoods.com/novel/circumstances-of-a-fallen-lord/ (10/23/23 (132), 1/1/24, 3/31/25 (SS only, thru SS7)) Chapters of interest: 55, 75, 77-79, 81*, 82, 84, 103*, 105, 120*, 123, 132... Once they get intimate they really just be making out constantly * Exciting chapters unrelated to intimacy The novel was an enjoyable read, well written, and hard to put down once the romance began. The two of them, especially Carlton, were so hopelessly infatuated and showed it continuously. The ending chapter felt like it needed another paragraph or two at the end, but it tied up all loose ends. 1st: 4/26/23, 2nd: 7/3/23, 3rd: 10/24/23 (alongside novel), 4th: 12/24/24

Reincarnation, boss x secretary/status gap, top pursues, straight top x straight bottom. Fated partners. Official release on Manta. Officials here from chapter 6 onwards. 1st: 8/5/22, 2nd: 11/17/22, 3rd: 1/6/23

Shonen ai, not yaoi. Side stories are yaoi. Extremely toxic relationship for the longest time. Bottom is a heartbreaker, top is way obsessed and possessive, crime family, top becomes a bottom. I think a bit of a longer end could have done this more justice to show they ended up well and not so toxic, but the ending here still works. Official on NetComics, officials are here. Read some of this a long time ago, probably early summer 2022, but dropped it pretty early. For some reason, even though so much fucked up shit happens, it's still captivating to read. There are several side stories each posted separately, but the official webtoon version is all on one post: https://www.mangago.me/read-manga/totally_captivated_side_stories_webtoon_edition/uu/ibx_chapter-22/pg-1/ Separate postings, with not official translations: 1.

All side stories/doujins, official translations (webtoon, color version). 5/15/23

Mostly shonen ai, but towards the end of the side stories it's a bit more explicit (they're short scenes). A complex plot that can be hard to follow at points. Honestly I still don't understand some things, but maybe another read would help (but not confident about that). Enemies to lovers, childhood friends, re-encounter. Official on Bilibili, NetComics, PocketComics, and Tappytoon. Officials are here. Each episode is about a 10 minute read. 5/15/23

Cute, funny story with a bunch of brothers competing for the MC. It's not a harem, he does pick one. I'm a bit sad at some of the things that were unresolved/left open ended from the side stories, but I guess the author wanted us to decide on our own what happened. Licensed on Tappytoon (separate translator), and Inkr/WebComics/Comikey (same translation). These are the Tappytoon officials (other than chapter 1, which is unofficial here but free on all licensed sites). Each episode is a 3-4 minute read. Episode 76 here has a lot of things out of order, I bought it on Tappytoon: https://tappytoon.onelink.me/u4Y3?pid=InAppShare&c=Share&af_dp=tappytoon://comics/174&deep_link_value=tappytoon://comics/174&af_force_deeplink=true 5/16/23

Best friends to lovers, childhood friends, true best friends who have known each other forever dynamic, slow burn (even though physically not slow at all, emotionally it is). Official on Lezhin [mature], officials are here. Episodes are 5-10 minutes long. Complete at 66 chapters, multiple side stories pending (discussed in the creator's note after the final chapter). I've bought the whole thing on Lezhin, but last I looked chapters 9 and 21 were partially scrambled on there so might have to read it here.
