(nanmu + pilgyun )
+ to put it simply, it's all about daddy issues ?? JK !!!! a mafia/gang member x his ex-stepson who fell in love with him since he was still young so he devices a plan to find him & make him his.
+ well,,, it was a very fun ride, i suppose? tbh, i actually liked this story a lot. i was hesitant, at first, since the ML kept calling MC "dad" but i just got used to it because he never stopped even after they officially got together.
+ i like the psychological aspect of it! all of them are morally gray characters. they've dirtied their hands, went through tons of abuse, however, they still wanted to live a normal life at the end. and, all of us deserves a second chance! so i'm glad they eventually got there :)) still a weird set-up, but ML genuinely loves MC, and MC grew to love ML
+ i thought i was gonna hate the MC's gang brothers, but i guess all the hate & anger should be directed to their "father." they've been through so much together :(( i'm happy they finally (i hope) found peace after everything went down!
+ the art is always amazing !!! BWOT-nim's art keep improving in every manhwa ^^ i hope they recover soon since they're currently sick :<
(dojin + juyeon )
+ idk what to call this trope actually? but it's about a guy who falls in love with his sister's ex-fiance... psychological genre
+ it was very poetic,,, it had a lot of metaphorical dialogues which was beautiful to read ^^ i actually found the plot interesting too! the only problem was it had noncon in it
+ this could've been done without r4pe in it... but oh well :/ i'm glad they got a happy ending, i guess? i think the ending was quite open-ended as well since we still don't know if the MC eventually developed true romantic feelings for the ML :))
+ i actually thought the ML was gonna be some type of psychopath. well,,, he was lowkey weird & of course he violated the MC... i think it might be also because he kind of lost hope in MC's recovery (it was still not a justifiable action!)
+ the art is very pretty !!! i loved exotic love's toxicness too looking forward to future manhwas from this author :D i hope we see a different genre soon.
(hikaru + shinobu )
+ sort of enemies? to lovers trope hehe & they were coworkers! one that is popular at work x timid and the complete opposite (but actually has a secret popular side off work!)
+ healthy couple !!!! ik they're already together, but i think they're also in some kind of slow burn~ they still haven't explicitly confessed to e/o so
+ they're dynamic, along with the side characters, was pretty fun to read ^^ i love how supportive their friends are
+ this was actually a reread, and i gotta say, i appreciated it more this time around since the second season gave more life to their relationship
+ i'm looking forward to the next volume (apparently, there's a new volume coming up!) :)) i hope it gets translated soon hehe the art style is amazing, as always!
(luna + nox )
+ might be my new fave het couple ever centuries old vampires !!! and they're madly in love (bonus: they're kinky living on earth for a long period of time can be boring)
+ it's such an interesting story! very unique concept ^^ i wanted this to be even longer but i think the ending fit it pretty well :))
+ the visuals are INSANITY !!! my bisexuality peaked while reading this i can't get enough of how pretty they look !!!!
+ i'm interested in their back stories too,,, like how they became vampires, or how was their life while raising a human baby LIKE GOD i yearn for this couple
+ anyway, i hope we get extras or maybe some official art from the author because i just love their dynamic they're deeply in love with each other :(( oh, to have a love like theirs.
(leo + shin )
+ another childhood friends to lovers! this one sting a bit i'm so glad we had a happy ending after almost 2 years of waiting for updates!
+ mutual pining, yet again! >< they are both just so precious :(( their relationship was so heartwarming. it's so sad that people have these prejudices which made MC anxious of the feelings they had for e/o
+ they broke up for a bit, HOWEVER! they managed to fix it guys !!!! don't worry, it has a sweet ending
+ i love how supportive yukarin is !!!! she is such a queen <3 i'm also happy that the MC got the reassurance he needed from his family ^0^
+ the art style is very pretty & adorable i've always loved how soft and warm this author's characters and story feel it always brings comfort for the readers :>
(hiroki + shintaro )
+ MC who's a convenience store clerk + ML who's a gym instructor >< love at first sight for ML! he's such a simp ISTG SO CUTE
+ i LOVE LOVE their relationship! it was so natural! your typical random strangers who just fell for each other <3
+ the pacing was sooooo good! there was a bit of miscommunication, but they were able to talk about it properly which improved their communication between one another
+ their dates were so adorable :')) i badly wanna see more of their domestic side (╥﹏╥)
+ the art style is gorgeous tooo! this author's works are very wholesome and most of them have healthy relationships too ^^ i'm so obsessed with how realistic this one was
(se-eun + jeongwoo )
+ childhood friends to lovers! mutual pining too it's also set in the province side
+ MC is a bl artist who drew himself along with his long time crush as the MCs of his bl manga the ML is a delivery man in their province!
+ this is a short one, but i think it had a satisfying end :)) they already had a past and all which explains the pacing ^^
+ the side characters are so funny, especially in the side stories !!! i liked the idols universe HAHA lowkey rooting for gyusik for some reason idk why lol he's so goofy
+ the art style was cute! overall, they had a healthy relationship (though they had several misunderstandings in the beginning, they ended up learning to communicate)
(yōu + usui )
+ love at first sight? BIG age gap. quite angsty? a 17-yr old model who became interested with a 29-yr old writer he saw years ago (they saw e/o again at work!)
+ well,,, i was expecting a better execution of the plot but it was a bit confusing and just unrealistic
+ it makes zero sense why the minor ML was so obsessed with the MC though, i don't think this is grooming since the ML was the one who kept forcing himself on the MC lol
+ they became a cute couple towards the end since they finally got to communicate properly. we also saw the ML's character development (but meh,,, i think it was still a bit lacking & bland)
+ the art style is interesting, i like it :)) it wasn't the usual cutesy one it was more on the sharp edges type :)) characters still look pretty though!
(kaede + shinokawa )
+ childhood friends who grew part but eventually had a reencounter as they became neighbors!
+ mutual pining (i think?) though the other one's a big tsundere their dynamic's pretty fun & cute!
+ there was another couple/story in the mix, but i just skimmed through it since it really wasn't my cup of tea
+ overall, i think their relationship was pretty cute :)) i wish we got to see more of them after officially being together, but it was still a good ending!
+ the art style is so adorable! i've always liked this author's art and stories ^0^ this had another healthy relationship
(dohun + yejun )
+ childhood friends to lovers! mutual pining frfr >< one is divorced and the other was single since he was deeply inlove with the former
+ it was short, yet filled with plot! like, ik it's a common trope, but i love the execution
+ i love their backstory, it had some depth even though it was a short one. i love how we got a very satisfying end + extras !!! a wedding too
+ i wish we got to see them move in together though! that would've been so adorbs hehe but they were already pretty domestic anyway :))
+ the art style is so so pretty too !! i hope we get to see more from this author
(jin + matthew )
+ mafia/gang member x college student who majors in sculpting! fubus? turned lovers! :)) it was kind of an unofficial contract thing?
+ guys,,, ik they lowkey toxic (maybe highkey?)... but i just love them so much ik the reencounter type of trope is overused already. however, this one just makes me feel the tingles it was such a satisfying end frfr!
+ i wanna highlight the way matthew & jin healed each other's broken souls by loving one another they became each other's home and family :(( they both felt like they saved each other, but at the same time feel guilty for what happened to the other. it's a complicated feeling? a rollercoaster of emotions. but, it ended in such a beautiful way
+ i love how jin's perspective in life slowly changed when matthew entered his life (again!). he started to value someone. he also started to value his self and how he should change his lifestyle because he wanted to protect the relationship they have
+ anyway, the age gap's big, but idk? i just felt fine with their relationship since they didn't have those feelings when matthew was still young. jin really treasured him ever since. he even pushed forth with life because he wanted to give matthew a better life. but, unfortunately, he lost himself through that process which is why i'm glad that they found their way back to each other's lives <3
+ the art is perfect! i still can't believe i've finished this already as i was one of those readers who was there when it was first launched! i even purchased its chapters when it was on tapas i was really attached to them and i felt so sad when it had a long hiatus. but, here we are !!! i'm so happy they got a happy ending >< i hope jaxx-nim gives us snippets of their relationship in the future huhu praying for a few side stories :'))
(tatsumi + ryuuga )
+ alpha yakuza x omega who's ex-husband had a debt which he has to pay off it's an omegaverse! omega has a child :))
+ i would've given this a higher rating if it didn't have a lot of dubcon stuff :/ the start was so icky... hormones/heat weren't even at play for it to happen. the alpha just did it because he wanted to so big yikes for that! but, he did apologize towards the end of the 2nd volume (still doesn't justify his actions, but atleast he's aware that what he did was wrong)
+ the side characters were soooo cute! i love how they cherished the omega's child! >< they're gangsters but they're really good with kids! the redeeming factor this alpha had was how he stepped up and took the role of being a proper father to the omega's child :> he treated them so much better!
+ for those who found the ick in volume 1, i suggest just skipping to volume 2 since it's more wholesome and there's also another addition to the family!
+ the art is pretty cute! overall, it was okay :)) it was more centered on building a happy family so it was on the fluffy side (minus the dubcon/noncon in the first chapters BOOO)
(ai + nao )
+ wholesome, family-centric story college love birds who decided to get married and adopt a child <3
+ i absolutely love them :(( this story tackled a bunch of issues that are truly relevant today ^^ it was very realistic!
+ i love how each character is portrayed as people who actually make mistakes and through it, they get to learn and change for the better
+ i love the dynamic of everyone they're all so sweet and loving :(( ai and nao are such good parents! their personalities contrast, but also complement one another
+ the art style is so beautiful! i am obsessed with this author's stories! they always portray green flagged characters hehe
(noah + henry )
+ mercenary? x royal with an age gap! a bit pedo...
+ MC is indeed a pedo since he already fell in love with child ML :/ but good thing he didn't act upon it (though he still had ex with ppl who looked like ML)
+ tbh, it was really interesting! i really liked the flow of it, if only ya know... MC wasn't infatuated with ML as a child
+ yes, they did the deed after ML's coming of age, however, he still keeps saying that ML's still like a child to him like bro... no...
+ anyway, art style carried !!! i've always liked this author's art
(yeonho + jang-goon )
+ coach x innocent wrestler? idk how to call this trope but the coach ended up teaching the wrestler some tips in bed since he was that innocent lol
+ this was okay? i mean it was just porn, let's be honest but ig the good thing was it wasn't toxic at all
+ ngl ik crying characters are somewhat annoying but i lowkey enjoyed seeing the wrestler cry since its not often to get characters like that (i like seeing them babyfied )
+ pacing was too fast, a bit cringey plot too but it wasn't the worst! it would've been better if the execution of the last part (confession arc?) was done a bit better but t'was okay ig
+ the art style's pretty!
(enver + hugh )
+ supernatural strangers to lovers trope! vampire who "hates" humans x an exiled prince (his brother attempted to kill him, but the vampire saved him)
+ they are so cute :(( i wish this was longer so we got to explore more of their background!
+ i was so interested with hugh's past too, but it wasn't tackled much also the part where the brother asked for forgiveness ???? the audacity
+ the romance had a bit of slow burn, though ig it was still considered quite fast since we only had a few chapters
+ the art style is soooo pretty! i hope we get to see more works from this author! (maybe even longer too!) also, i want more side stories
