Crazy-In-Love MLs

Key for various flavors of madly-in-love MLs:

1 - ML pursues MC for a long time before they start to reciprocate or accept his advances
2 - ML is in lust as well as in love, he shows how physically attracted to the MC he is
3 - ML is super devoted and loyal to the MC, would die for them and do anything to make them happy
4 - ML is jealous and possessive, works hard to keep rivals away from the MC
5 - ML is obsessive to toxic levels. he does morally questionable things in pursuit of the MC such as manipulating or entrapping them
6 - ML is clingy and constantly seeking to spend more time with the MC or capture their attention
- ML is totally whipped; the MC rejects or hurts him and he just loves them more for it

All of these have the MLs falling and chasing first except where indicated with a *
