This post is part 1 of my response to @dnana-2809-blogās ask
1. Song Juhan / He Gu
from Years of Intoxication
Listen, these two arenāt first because they have the best relationship. I definitely donāt want what they have for myself. Theyāre first simply because of how fucking mad they drive me.
Song Juhan is an asshole, but heās such a fun read. Heās like a child that doesnāt know how to express what he wants and can only throw tantrums. Reading him is like watching a race car speed straight towards a crash while you have your coke and popcorn on the side.
He Gu, on the other hand, is a saint. But the type of saint whoād forgive you from all your sins as long as you have a good face card. Of all the MCs in the 188 series, heās the only one whose POV is full of purple prose of how handsome the ML/other characters are in the story. He presents himself as being this calm, unfazed type, but really, heās just a face-con. Time and time again, he lets Song Juhan get away with evil, so seeing him finally snap was utterly satisfying.
Iāve mentioned on this blog before that I donāt really read fanfics nowadays, but HanGu is an exception to this. HanGu makes me feel such whirlwind of emotions that if Iām in the mood for some blood-curdling angst followed by cathartic redemption, theyāre my go-to.
2. Gu Xiao / Zhang Siyi
from Assistant Architect
(some translations had MLās name as Gu Yu, but thatās wrong.)
Now, this is the ship that ranks highly because I actually love the charactersā relationship.
Zhang Siyi is a new college graduate just entering the workforce and learning how to be an independent adult, while Gu Xiao is his boss whoās already established in the industry.
The character development of both characters is great in this one, especially with Zhang Siyi. You can really see him mature as the story progresses. Gu Xiao also learned to stop being so strict with himself and to just follow what his heart wants. Their relationship is so sweet and healthy <3
3. Gong Yixian / Ren Yi
from Blazing Armor
This pair is the epitome of what I love about teammates-to-lovers. Their love is the kind that is cultivated slowly through constant interaction and actually understanding the other as a person and not just as a love interest. Ren Yi may had have a crush on Gong Yixian from the start, but it was only through working with Gong Yixian that you can see him actually fall in love with him.
Meanwhile, Gong Yixian is such a sweet guy. Heās partly the reason why I think the novel should not have been marketed as a dog-blood story. Apart from that one time he said hurtful stuff to Ren Yi because of a misunderstanding, he hasnāt really done anything scummy. He also fell in love with Ren Yi before he even realized it, and it was really cute when he felt envious seeing HanGu together because he wanted what they have for him and Ren Yi. (By HanGu, I mean the ship ranked on number 1. They made a cameo in the novel.)
4. Lin Yun / Tang Ning
from I am a Flower Vase in an Infinite Flow World
Image above is only of Tang Ning. This ship isnāt the canon couple, so thereās no image of them together š
This pair is another teammates-to-lovers ship. They started out as ordinary players just temporarily teaming up to increase their chances of survival but then grew closer to the point of being willing to die for the other.
Lin Yun was the guy whoād leave Tang Ning at the drop of a hat the moment things turned dangerous in order to prioritize his own safety, while Tang Ning, from the very start, could never bear to leave Lin Yun behind because he sincerely thinks of him as his friend. Lin Yun once thought Tang Ning was naive for thinking so, but over time, he fell in love with this kind of sincerity. Later in the story, Lin Yun realizes how important Tang Ning has become to him and that life without him is more terrifying than death itself, so he steps up and stops running away.
The natural deepening of these twoās relationship is what I love so much about it. I really, really wish Lin Yun was the male lead. (And I havenāt given up hope yet! I am yet to finish the novel, so who knows, maybe thereās a plot twist)
5. Kamonohashi Ron / Isshiki āTotoā Totomaru
from Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective
I didnāt want to use a static official art because Toto always looks bad in those images. So, here, have screenshots on one of my favorite RonToto moments.
Ron had just been accused of murder, and all evidence points towards him. Even Ron was starting to doubt himself, but Toto adamantly stays by his side. And that trust Toto has on himāthat unwavering belief founded on what he knows about Ron as a personāis one of the many things I love so much about this pair.
Ron is also very grateful to have Toto in his life, so it pains him whenever Toto gets into danger because of him.
6. Isagi Yoichi / Bachira Meguru
from Blue Lock
I may be critical of Isagiās state in the manga right now, but I still very much like this ship. They are, by far, the BEST sports anime ship.
Iāve talked a lot about why I think so on my @fyeahbachisagi sideblog, but this post by @rirururu and my comments under it encapsulates what I love so much about them.
Also, Iāve just been really into this trope of love as being something you have to fight forāwhere if you arenāt strong enough to defeat the person you love, then youāre stripped of the right to remain by their side. Itās so fucking delicious.
7. Killua / Gon
from Hunter x Hunter
Havenāt engaged with HxH since I finished the anime during the pandemic that I almost forgot to put KilluGon on this list. Shame! How on earth could I forget about them?? These two are everything.
Theyāre best friendsāpeople who just enjoy spending time with each other and always think about the other first. And their love is built slowly through that. They care for each other, and they feel hurt when the other is in pain. Killuaās character development in the Chimera Ant arc also further showed how far heās willing to go for Gon.
And by now, it should be clear that the friends/teammates-to-lovers trope is my favorite. I donāt know about you guys, but I think a romantic relationship should be founded on a good platonic relationship. (tho, ironically, the ship on #1 is the odd one out on this list. sorry, I canāt help it. HanGu makes me want to throw them into a blender whenever I think about them)
Special mentions:
VeiFei from Link Click: I may post about them a lot, but compared to my other ships, theyāre objectively not that much. They have too little screentime. Iām gonna need to see what theyāre like in season 3 before I reevaluate the rankings
VaniNoe from Vanitas no Carte: I havenāt caught up on VnC in a while, but they are so precious
KaiNess from Blue Lock: Where their relationship ended after the NEL arc was so good, and I canāt wait to see how it develops the next time we see them
Cui Bei / Wang Qi from White Cat Legend: Theyāre just so cute and good vibes only
T2 from Yowamushi Pedal: Their friendship is heartwarming, and their tacit understanding is so good. I just love it when Junta can easily understand what Aoyagi wants that the latter doesnāt even have to say it. Aoyagi is also very supportive of Juntaās ambitions.

I have been tagged by @sasdavvero and @lazysublimeengineer in that tag game where you share your 6 fictional crushes. and iāve been wanting to answer it, but all my crushes are from cnovels, and most of them donāt have any official art ššš
still, i thought iād give it try since it seems fun. just listing down their names and where theyāre from š«”
1. You get to marry one fictional character ā who is it?
Definitely Gu Xiao from Assistant Architect! (The MTLation has his name as Gu Yu, tho). Iād appreciate a guy who can help me develop in my career in practical ways and inspire me to always do better, not just in my profession, but also as a person.
9. Whatās your weirdest pet-peeve?
HMMMM this is hard coz I donāt think any of my pet peeves are weird hahaha. But when it comes to fiction, I absolutely hate it when the main character starts the story with missing memories and is defined solely on that. I mean, having amnesia in fiction isnāt bad, per se, but to have the entire story a quest to find out who they were before the story even began is just eeeehhh. Like, Iām invested in the character they are now as written, not whoever they were supposed to be. (This trope works really well for Happy Doomsday, though! One of my favorite sci-fi/apocalypse novels)
My other fiction pet peeve is when I read a story about a weak/ordinary protagonist, expecting it to be about an average person making the most with what they have (like Mulan using smarts to survive in a male soldier camp), only for it to be revealed later that hey, this weak/ordinary protagonist is actually strong/special since the beginning! Their powers were just either sealed or the world had simply misunderstood their true strength.
I feel betrayed whenever it happens. I invested in this characterās hardwork, only for it to be undermined by the author uuugh
