uhhhh. that's a tough one.

firstly, they don't look like villains. the one standing up maybe, but the one sitting looks very kind. so i'm confused.

i don't know what "self-saving" means, but the first thought my brain had was like. they're in a forest, so... saving... the environment? the sitting one is holding a jar which could be medicine? maybe they are saving themselves, living sustainably in a forest...?

but they don't look like villains, so maybe it's like, two people who were branded as villains and had to escape and now live as nomads or whatever...? saving themselves...?

the vibe is that this is a sweet story about a young kid who gets mentored by a wise adult.

i have no clue. hope this helps. lol

I looked it up and it was the worst possible answer.

Just another God damn Isekai.

The title gives me big isekai-with-game-mechanics vibes. Maybe just because I can't see "scum" and "saving" next to each other without thinking of save-scumming (though now I'm making the obvious mafia connection too). The art, uh.

So yes my final answer is yaoi romance isekai.

The crouching male has to resist the smexy standing male's advances to save his soul from damnation. But does he even want to save his own soul if it means pleasure in this world?

In short, yaoi. Yaoi is my guess based off the cover alone.

It's a danmei, no?
My guess would be the standing guy is the "villain" and the sitting guy is the protagonist. The villain is actually a decent guy but got bad rep, but he's also actually very scheming. His plot involves endearing himself to the protagonist. And then they grow close but never explicitly romantic since it's a big no no in China.

It's also probably very popular and has a webcomic adaptation, live action TV series, and other stuff.

This with the addition that one of them or both have an ability similar to "save-scumming". Where they can set points in time and jump back to them in order to re-try events.

And yeah definitely a yaoi

Having now read the topic I definitely should have realized it was an Isekai when I figured there was a gaming related power.
