About Revenge of the Antagonist - BL (Boys Love)
Enemies on camera, enemies off camera!At a performing arts school, Gerald doesn't stand out, so he secretly envies the popular kid, Damian, who Gerald thinks is undeserving of his popularity due to his lack of talent. His insecurity worsens when Damian unintentionally mocks him in front of the entire class. Years after graduation, Gerald becomes a C-list actor who's usually typecast to act in antagonist roles. Meanwhile, Damian becomes a popular heartthrob who's usually the protagonist in romance dramas. Gerald feels bitter that he has to work hard all these years to land auditions, but Damian gets roles automatically handed to him because of his popularity despite his acting being lackluster. His rival's success constantly reminds Gerald of his insecurities and makes him feel like a loser.
One day, Gerald gets the role of the antagonist in a romance drama. By chance, Damian happens to be the male lead in that same drama, and they'll both have to fight over the female lead. Because of his pent-up jealousy and insecurities, Gerald swears to use various underhand tactics on set to embarrass his rival. Damian, on the other hand, is not going to sit back and let himself be provoked.
Gerald is aromantic and asexual. Even though his smirk makes him seem like a flirty player, he doesn't like being flirted with. He's not interested in romance, so he's never cared about acting in the romance genre. But for once, he decides to act in one as an antagonist in hopes of getting his name out there. 
Despite looking like a typical cute, romantic protagonist, Damian is aloof. He doesn't talk to people off camera unless it's necessary. He only wants to open up to someone who's genuine with him. Since Damian has been the male lead in multiple romance dramas, he'd sometimes flirt and say cheesy lines without intent.

(To answer a beautiful soul's question: Yes, this is enemies to lovers VN). It all started with a string of painful to hear words. Then both guys become actors and... Do you want friendship or romance in the end? Judging by the title, I thought that the MC/Antagonist... Was literally going to take the Love Interest to hell and back. Not literally. But like sabotage? Terrible things? However, as we all know from previous Chani's novels... That's not how things are done. Chani makes pleasant stories... Unless they are psy/horror. Which means that the story wasn't overly dramatic and it wasn't non-existent. It was mild and interesting to read. I actually laughed a few times too! Believe me, that's not an easy task for someone to accomplish. So kudos. The characters? They work with one another. I like the female in her role and by herself as well. OH! The mini-game! OKAY! Basically you look at the line, best to check what *mood* is required prior, and then pick the right emotions!!! If you get it wrong, it tells you. Right? The story continues. Is it hard? It can be if you really can't figure out the emotion. I guess just... Get into how the character shou…11 found this helpful

That the perfect cheezy BL romance. I would need a season 2 after that ending of Estranded brother XD2 found this helpful
Cute!
If you’ve got 2 dollars to spare and love BL stories like me, this one’s worth every cent. It’s definitely SFW, so don't worry. The acting minigame adds a nice twist so it doesn’t feel like just another visual novel. Sure, the art isn’t top-tier, but for this price? Totally fair. Especially if you’re the kind of person who values story above everything else. The best part? It’s a classic Enemies to Lovers tale, and the story is adorably sweet. Seriously, give it a shot—you’ll probably end up smiling like I did <33
I love this mc he's aroace and extremely petty to the point where it's both entertaining and giving me second-hand embarrassment
