@Cake mc is the person's story we r reading his pov and ml is there love intrest........ like if u have read painter's of the night there nakyum(bottom) is the mc seungho(top) is ml

@Cake no dear 
In yaoi 
MC means bottom and ML is top 
No matter whose pov it is 
But since many pov is of bottoms (majorly) you may have been confused 

In case of straight manhwa ( romance ) 
MC is female and ml is male 

In case of shonen ( action or other genre )
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MC and ML refer to the same person as there's hardly any love interest 
And if there is 
MC is the main character ( whether male or female )
Ml and fl can be referred as their love interest
@Lilin but I searched in Google again it says mc is the person whose story we r reading or his pov.......soo how does it makes a bottom mc always cuz I read third ending, muted, to the stars and back all have top pov does it still makes them ml not mc ????
Plzzz tell cuz now I'm confused !!!!🥲
@Mengmeng I told you 
IN YAOI  as we readers always assume bottom as MC and top as ML 
TO MAKE IT EASIER !! 
Yes Google is right but in bl we use readers interpretation 🤭
@Mengmeng and you forgot that love interests are also main characters in a story

@Lilin okk I get it !!!!trollface stickerit's definitely easier to understand the story that way ....
Thank u 💞✨️
@Lilin Completely wrong. Read for instance Bocchi na bokura no renai jijou or I''S (as well countless other series) : the MC is MALE and the fl is the love interest.
@Mengmeng fyi it's better to check by yourself than trusting all the bs around.
@Ryip did you even read what I wrote ? 
Till the end at that ?
trollface sticker
@Ryip and there's a nicer way to say things dear 
Keep that in mind
