    Once in a while I read yaoi novels purely to read about the care and affection the ML have for the MC, and also the misunderstandings are a bonus point. I would like to read a novel, manga, anime, anything that have an easy access English translation of a story like a yaoi where the protag is male and the female love interest show actual care, affection, and protectiveness.

    @Kungoner Hirone look for something with gender bender, probably with shounen ai at that, goodluck at it.

    Hmmm okay, how about you try "Stella to Millefeuille" (it's a manga, not novel)?

    Gender Bender

    Rebirth as My Love Rival's Wife

    I'm not sure about the title. Basically, the MC is a straight guy who transmigrated as the wife of the straight ML. It's a good read and the characters are normal or should I say realistic.

    i get what he means tho. A straight novel without the things and shenanigans we hate about shoujo like strong fmc suddenly turning to damsels in distress, unnecessary drama and poorly presented jealousy, misunderstandings misunderstandings misunderstandings and more misunderstandings

    I know what you're looking for. Not BL exactly, just teasing and empty promises of BL. Het protagonist but with shippable companion or rival of the same gender. The word you're looking for is bromance. And maybe I can introduce you to Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint. Actually I know some, but I can't honestly remember each one of them. Omniscience is just the last one I read, and that was two years ago.

    You could have said that before. Anyway, that was a funny thread title.
