I'm a sucker for these types of stories!!
I love everything about this and I nearly chocked when he mentioned the customer appreciation event!
+ I love Bottoms that are obsessed with the Top and awkwardly shy about it like we saw in Red Mansion or 2020.
Literally praying this isn't a short story because it kinda gives off that vibe.
"You're so oblivious even though I'm raping you with my eyes. So precious"
Alright now is the time to take my eye sight if any sort of God is still among us.
The art ain't even bad but the writing is atrocious, we got a creepy Mc who looks like he preys on minors (they're adults as far as I saw but he still gives off groomer vibes I'm sorry) and a Top who has has as much depth and personality as a blank sheet of paper.
Honestly I MISS when they focuse on kissing in the beginning!
Not that I don't like when they jump straight to it but I miss seeing intense kissing and foreplay before they get more intimate.
Honestly I dropped this when they had had the excessive cave sex, the art is so good tho and the premise itself ain't bad, I really wanna continue reading this, uncover the mystery and enjoy the occasional (!) sex scene.
From what I'm seeing this didn't get any better tho, like 80% sex and 20% story.
So I just read the final chapter and I'm beyond angry, frustrated and sad how the author ruined a good Manhwa.
I still have a soft spot for this series (I mean it's my profile picture after all) but the entire setup for season 2 which could've been so much deeper, thrilling and interesting was just thrown out the window for some sex scenes and teasing that led nowhere!
Questions left unasked, a social phobia mostly cured off screen like what was the point even? and what about the pink haired dude? Why even have him in the story? He did nothing, like seriously nothing but propose that drug deal to Mc and tease.
There was huge potential for this like the background of perm hair, why he disappeared and what happened in that year but instead of talking, we get another short sex scene.
He came back after ghosting Mc for a year, tells him his "real" name and he's like "yeah that checks out"? Wtf?
I didn't need drama or anything big but a talk would've been nice, the ending felt so rushed.
This was supposed to be a short story and I think it should've stayed that way, I don't think the author planned ahead writing this and just went with it after being green lit for a second season. That's why nothing feels like it connects or builts upon something.
The first season was so good!! And besides the rape, it was really interesting to see their relationship develop.
The premise is interesting but I wish we got more volumes to explore this concept and the characters better.
It's somewhere in the middle for me, there were parts that piqued my interest and others that I didn't like.
For instance I don't like when the Mc gets with their rapist in the end, he calls it "rape" even after 5 years yet he's afraid of being abandoned.
It's an interesting setup but it makes me hope for an ending where they're not together.
I do like that they didn't show much of their intimacy except for that one panel tho.
In these stories of sexual abuse, I'd like to see "tell, don't show".
Overall it could've been better with more time and better character development.
The art isn't bad and the story itself could have potential, I didn't like the execution tho even for a oneshot.
I need more consent, the trope itself ain't too bad but I didn't like the bully Top at all.
I love this! Genuinely interesting story, didn't like the beginning tho and as many have pointed out, the translation in the beginning is a bit confusing.
Other than that I enjoy their dynamic after he got amnesia. I'm a sucker for angst so this is right up my alley! There's also a lot of mystery and I hope we get to see more of those "real mutts".
So glad I found another good Guideverse!
Ngl this hits all the boxes for me, I'm sorry but I love it so far (my ticket to hell has been booked).
I usually hate rape stories but this feels different.
I enjoy their dialogue and the characters themselves, I'm a sucker for tragic love stories and power bottoms.
+ the art really gives them personality, it makes them feel layered with the facial expressions they show.
I get why others don't enjoy it but I'm staying, waiting for updates
Honestly I love this so much!!!
The fact that Eunsan has abandonment issues so he rather distances himself first in order not to get hurt, hits close to home.
He wants people to stay but doubts his presence alone would make anyone want to stay with him.
That's probably why his marriage failed too but I'm glad Ian is loyal and stubborn in his pursuit.
Go get him and shower our baby with love! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Let me just say I absolutely LOVED the slap on the cheek! We get that so rarely in Bdsm Manhwa, on the ass? Sure but the cheek? I feel like this shows perfectly that this is not vanilla sex, the Ml is a sadist and gets pleasure from inflicting pain while the Mc is a masochist who gets pleasure from receiving pain. Both consent, it's that simple.
I don't get how some in the comments go 25 chapters feeling fine but that slap on the cheek in the next chapter did it for them, wtf.
Ngl I do love a stalker trope and crazy Bottoms but this feels like a low budget version of Red Mansion
Say what you will but I'm absolutely addicted to this!
Haven't read the novel yet tho.
They're toxic but in a way I can't stop reading.
The visuals and phrase "my own beautiful hell" are so good!!
Dunno if my mind will change with all the spoilers floating around but honestly this Manhwa never made a secret of being toxic so idk.
GUIDEVERSE? Hell yeah I'm in.
Out of all the newer subgenres we got for BL, I love that it gave us Guideverse.
The cover immediately reminded me of "Abyss" by Eeej (Limited Run) and for a second I thought she had a new project lol
The story is kinda confusing to get into and the art is...unique?
Not sure I'm sold yet but the last panel is really interesting so I'll save it for now!
I'm only on chapter 12 but this isn't at all what the first few chapter make it appear to be, I'd say it's pretty slow burn and besides the start, we don't really get much skinship at all. I like when it gradually works towards a chemistry between the couple.
I'm in love with the art and especially how the eyes and hair is drawn.
The story is pretty unique and I love when art is appreciated in a Manhwa.
Reading this reminds me of Define the relationship a bit.
Dojin is very likeable and it's fun seeing the story from his POV while there's not much to say about Luca except that he loves teasing him.
I'll continue with the story and I hope there'll be officials soon since I'm relying on MTL lol
I absolutely loved this!
Idc if the ending was a bit cliche, they're just adorable together.
Sad to see them go.
