    I just want an ML whose face and/or background is plain, nothing special about it.
    Not those MLs who are now plain because they're disfigured or something, nor those MLs who everyone think is plain but actually is a hidden Gary Stu. MC falling in love with him sincerely is enough (or ML falls in love first, doesn't matter).

    He could be from a BG or BL novel, but please no QT. No harem also btw.

    Well only one that comes to my mind is kiss the black cat. Main couple is good looking as always but ML is not the typical crown prince or duke. The romance is also really sweet.

    if manga is ok, then you could try Hibi Chouchou or Meguro Amu’s Honey. Shoujo has more normal MLs but it’s been a while and I don’t remember series names anymore.

    I dont read "BL" novels, so i don't know...

    I haven't gone to the "New World" or come out in my closet, i'm just basing my answer to the fact that most the novels that got romance is the ML is rich or popular or got "drama" or all of the "tags" before

    I got the feeling that going to the "New World" is one-way ticket, wish you good luck Nonetheless
