BluePill has an USB connector. you don't need the USB-to-TTL adapter.
without the stm32duino bootloader you can't upload over USB , but you should be able to print to Serial Monitor over USB with Serial like on any Arduino.

the ST-Link doesn't use 'com' port for upload, so you can have the com ...

ST-Link is not a Serial adapter, it is a programmer. You can't open a Serial Monitor over ST-Link.
to see the Serial prints connect the Blue Pill with USB cable. without bootloader listening on USB you can't upload over USB but it works as Serial (or Serial1?) with Serial Monitor or other ...

You can see that i uploaded a blink and it's working ...
