@dokkja Stigmata (amazing plot, intense but consensual sm**, good world building, badass female side charas, social commentary). It's a novel and manhwa
Introducing My Manager (also friends to lovers, ML is somewhat of a pr*** at first but he goes thru character development and the novel makes sure to acknowledge and address both his and the MC's flaws & traumas in a humane way, consensual/intense/intimate sm**).
It's a novel and manhwa
Younger Boss Just Wants to Be Praised (really mature and interesting characters, cool art, realistic relationship development, BUT it's not explicit). The side story/spinoff Take the Time has respectful and hot sm** but I'm not sure if you can find the translated one online anymore. Manga
gosh I've read so many romance works and it's freaking depressing how few of them feature enthusiastic & informed consent. Even my favorites are rife with dub con and/or non con
