This wldve been a rare 5/5 w/o the blackmailing but idk why mangas MUST shoot themselves in the foot.

Idk exactly what type of recs I'm looking for so I'll just list some things I like about this. it's alright if your rec only has one or a few of what I'm listing:
1. A seme who chooses to be a silly goofy guy but is actually intimidating.
2. A seme who is strong but tries his best to be gentle
3. Perfectionist uke with a mask
4. Rivals (laced with sexual tension) to lovers
5. you can feel their tension, attraction and chemistry through every interaction, even when theyre just acquaintances (like this seme's interest in the uke starting all the way back to that first drinking get-tgt)
6. Uke tries to do difficult things on his own but in the end learns he can trust his friends to protect him
7. Likeable secondary characters (like the chairman's daughter, the coffee guy, uke's work team, even the stalker grew on me)
GxB, GL, BL, doesn't matter, you can just say what type it is when you rec~
I'm looking for novels (or manhwas) where mc has family that is neglectful/abusive, or believes antagonist' lies over mc, then regrets or is torn up by guilt when it's too late (or maybe it isn't too late and they slowly build back trust and respect). They're initially prideful and rarely give mc the benefit of the doubt due to habit, and their negative perception slowly start being chipped away when they realise the extent of their prejudice/lack of empathy.
This type of story would most likely be Second Chance, Transmigration or Reincarnation something, but as long as it's neglectful family deeply regrets and grovels, then I'm all ears!
I've read Death is the only ending for the villainess novel and was supposed to be letting the manhwa marinate but I caved and binged it. I also made a whole list of this type and I'm hungry for more: https://www.mangago.me/home/mangalist/1104372/
