My Favorite Romance Novels with a Male Protagonist
My Favorite Romance Novels with a Male Protagonist
Just a list of novels with a strong romantic element from the perspective of a male. I find it hard to search for these explicitly since most novels categorized under the romance genre tend to be with female leads, and I personally have a hard time relating to their perspective.
Some of the novels that are actually tagged with Male Protagonist and Romance are absolutely abysmal and should really not have the latter tag for a slew of reasons (e.g. Library of Heaven's Path). Typical cases I've seen are where characters might strongly pursue each other initially, but after they "get together" by establishing a relationship, they get too embarrassed to hold hands or have any physical progression (for like hundreds of years in the case of many Chinese cultivation novels). It's such a weird juxtaposition to see because in these fantasy type novels, as you'll see 95% of non-plot related characters around the MC depicted as lecherous, trying to r*pe every woman around them, but the MC himself would be too pure/innocent/dumb to have a single s*xual thought or action towards women he's close with. I would just like to see a normal relationship. These latter types of novels are what I'm trying to filter out of this list.
Note: This only includes the novels (including short stories) that I have read and have really enjoyed the romance aspect of it, even if the other elements are lacking or the book was potentially bad overall.
