UPDATES

An extra I would like to add is how these K-novels get grouped together. These groups are determined based on how prevelant their respective fanbases draw them together.

First Generation:

Second Generation:

Present Generation:

Return of the Blossoming Blade, The Greatest Estate Developer, and I Woke Up as the Villain are not often found grouped together with other K-novels.

Debut or Die gets included in groups with other K-novels, but its fanbase has not made association to any specific ones.

Please note that this information may be incomplete due to it being based on my personal experience in the K-novel community. This basically means I have seen plenty of fan art of these stories get drawn together, but it's I haven't seen everything there is to it.

*Note: This generation can also be found grouped alongside the first generation.

This list was intended to be a (semi-personal) archive of K-novels and webtoons with the KR names of slash ships that are fairly popular within their respective fandom, but I hope this can serve as a reference for those looking for these pairings.

I may have focused on the ships featuring the MC for this, but I am aware that there are ships without them, I just didn’t want to go down that rabbit-hole.

Concerning non-MC pairings however, my favourites are Ryu Chungwoo/Bae Sejin (청배), Kim Raebin/Cha Eugene (랩윶), and Park Gun/Kim Goo (종준). I just felt like sharing that haha.
