Am i tripping or is this better than kiss me liar at least?

I think for most it is, but everything has fans.
I mean the relationship between Keith and Yeonwoo was pretty toxic. And Keith is the true trash king of the author, while Yeonwoo when it comes to Keith he has no backbone most of the time.
The relationship of Josh and Chase looks heathlier most of the time, and the dynamics are different. Since Josh is one of the author's stonger omegas/bottoms and Chase has a different character than Keith (if we ignore the anger issues and stupidity when it comes to their own partner...) the storie has a different vibe.

completely agree, I hated the other one tbh bcs the amt of tomfoolery frustrated me and this one seems a bit tamed(?) but I'm not sure cus i lowkey skimmed but I do get the gist why chase is the way the he is and josh's attraction and their dynamic overall seemed cute(?)

The stories of the author can come out pretty different.
Those two manhwas are adaptions of webnovels. I read a few of them.
Since you read KML, Grayson has a story with Dane as his pair.XD
