Both are wholesome and yuri. If you want wholesome yuri romance this is for you! The humor is good to so if you want a bit of laugh as a side dish go ahead.

The couple has a similar dynamic, the protagonist falls in love with the villain of the story, asking "to be bullied". They have masochistic tendencies that serve as humor, is funny and cute. And other more serious things happen over time.

The difference is that in "I Favor" the MC transmigrrated in the "protagonist" of the new world, while in "Please, Bully me" the MC transmigrated into the "villain" of the new world.

But even the aesthetic of cute girls is similar.

And both villains are rich and blonde.

So if you found one fun, you will probably find the other.

The main characters of both of the series are sent to a different world/worlds with a system to make them act villainous with a punishment system in place. Both have romantic relations with the original protagonist and both are a little gay.

However there are some key differences.

In this story, acting like a villain is incentivized with a point system. He gains them by fulfilling his role and through the points wishes can be fulfilled, one of them being time reversal. Since he wants to prevent his friend's death he has to appeal to the system and go against his own wishes of not wanting to hurt others. Due to this the main character takes more of an active role in the story rather than a reactionary one. 

Another difference would be that there are other transmigrated recurring characters. Though it'd be a spoiler to say them. Also they are transmigrating through multiple works rather than staying in one.

Enjoyable aspects

• Despite the protagonist having a mental disability, he is not portrayed as evil. It's nice to see something that doesn't vilify people with disabilities or makes it seem like that person is inferior to others without that disability.
• The female characters aren't annoyingly dependent. His best friend Bai Mo does things by herself and the original heroine of the first story has her own life outside of the main characters and is kind of cut out of the story by the ml.
• The ml is smart enough and figures out what exactly is happening to the protagonist halfway through each arc, so there is not copius amounts of misunderstandings. 
• The main character isn't flawless and neither are the side characters. There is  a distinct lack of Mary Sues. Although it could be argued that Bai Mo is a Mary Sue due to some offhand jokes in the Bai Mo extras, she has obvious flaws, despite her only just being recently revealed. For example she disregards other people in the novel since she considers them to just be fictional. Rather than a Mary Sue, she seems to fall more into the Everyman archetype in my opinion.
• The characters have clear goals that are reasonably attainable and drive the story's plot in a way the reader can sympathize with.
• The protagonist is a Classical Antihero. He is chock-full of flaws, but he is rather likeable.

Some things that might turn some people off from reading it are

• Somewhat poor translation: Since chinese doesn't translate well into english, there's a lot of phrases that aren't understandable.
• There are some scenes that just can't be read in public. The main character is seen without his shirt on multiple times and abs can be seen a lot.
• Due to the dimension hopping a lot of characters just get left behind and aren't really explored more.
• Occasional internalized homophobia from the male lead.(Though I enjoy the extra bit of drama and self loathing I can see how it isn't enjoyable for most people)
• The genres change a bit. In the first story it was a regular romance drama and in the second it was a drama
• The author sometimes just assumes that the reader is paying close attention to how things work and doesn't exactly do well in getting some points across. For example I didn't know that the character's looks were slightly altered preventing transmigrators from recognizing each other. Which confused me greatly.
• 5 year age gap in the first story when they were minors. (They're a completely different set of people in the second story so if you can ignore it until chapter 50 it'll all be good)
• The drawings are more like yaoi(which is directed more towards straight women) rather than bara(which is directed towards men), but since it isn't like nsfw it should be enjoyable to most demographics and the drawings shouldn't matter that much.
• Secondhand embarassment from the mc's actions.

I mean come on now. There is a system telling both villains that they have to be awful to the "Protagonist" so that there story can continue on, but the "protagonist" ends up falling in love with the Villain, both Villains, and their recognise their kind nature under the facade. The GL one is a bit more frtish-centred I believe. No, actually they both have the same fetish.

Both are wholesome, but have their not so wholesome moments. Really great story line and great buildups to relationships. 

Rafellus says...

Both MC go against the system requests, and fall in love with a support or heroine female character.

In both histories the system has penalties that can kill the MC, if they disobey.
