I am truly astonished by how much mileage this story has gotten. I mean it’s 60 chaps and I thought it would be 20 chapters max of extreme smut and fast story.

I love this!! It’s rare that a BL makes me feel so many emotions. I was so angry at points, sad, happy, kicking my feet, infuriated and anxious. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a BL where the lead has his arm on the partner’s shoulder, that is sooooo so perfectly sweet. The umbrella scene where he bumps his shoulder, actual tears.

Also, I’m obsessed with the scene with Eunjung’s brother. The reversal of roles, Jiho realizing how small he felt being used and baited, the shame he feels. Just amazingly done. Jiho is extremely well written. I love how the power imbalances are corrected here.

You know, I have a lot of problems with this story but it does exactly what it set out to do merging over the top shouneness and dramatic played out Fanfic tropes.

The romance is weak and you can reliably expect Limon to pull something out so there are no stakes, the MC has no agency because everything is already in the hands of the Prince. The most interesting character (the demon lord) will not get fleshed out and I expect this story to never surprise me or do anything interesting with its characters. But at the end of the day, this story is exactly its description and I’ll probably finish it when I remember to read it.

I love this! A beefy MC, the MLs are gorgeous, the plot is plotty af. I don’t think I could want for more.

The art is exceptional. Holding out and hoping the plot lives up to it.

The plot actually slaps. And the art is amazing. It makes me want to hurl just a little bit at times. Bravo to the artist. I guess true inspiration really hit them this time.

Oh this one is special. An amazingly done story. The ML is hard of hearing and the MC is an actor. Takes us through their first meeting, learning to communicate with each other and so much kindness and empathy. It’s heart stoppingly sweet. 9/10

Wow, this is so amazingly done. It made me want to cry and screech in happiness. I’m not hard of hearing and I would love to hear the perspective of someone who’s hard of hearing. I thought the struggle to understand each other was conveyed so beautifully and so many things I take for granted could be difficult for another person. I can’t wait for more chapters.

The pining is so incredible here and so painful. To the point, I cannot stand it. Hanjun kills me and in an irl situation I would tell him to stay away from Yunjae who’s both concerningly codependent and not right in the head. I can’t imagine the pain of having to deal with love like Hanjun’s while your best friend refuses to let you go. It’s insane.

I really hope Yunjae is given a growth arc, he is so frustrating to read. Boy!!! You are hurting him!! Selfish asshole.

They are so wrapped up with each other though, it’s fascinating to read and well written female characters too. There’s so much good here but Yunjae!! I curse you for giving me this much heartache. I cry for Hanjun.

I’m marinating this because I just know it’s going to consume me brain, body and soul.

Please give us more of this sweet sweet pining. I can wait

I haven’t read this in some time so I can’t comment on the plot but having clicked unto the latest chapter to check the art and I’m so happy the art is still so incredible. So many stories fall off the deep end with noticeably worse and worse art and they all inevitably become Twinkier for some reason too. Seth still looking mighty fine.

Calling this old man BL. I’m crying, they’re 36 and so many references to them being middle aged too.

Anyway, I hated the top but I think he’s not nearly as irredeemable as other horrid tops. Ended up being very sweet.

Straight forward friends to lovers with a healthy heaping of sports in the background. Really well done and the dynamic between the friends is perfect. The story is a little rushed at the very very end, didn’t impede my enjoyment too much though. 8.5/10

I love this! It was so well paced until chapter 20 but I’ll take it. I feel for the sunbae though.

This story felt so young and refreshing, both of them trying to figure it out, being immature and realizing they’re in love with each other. Urgh, the author nailed that dynamic. This deserves a better rating than it currently possesses.

I really like the author/artist sports work, each one has been sooo good.

Guwon is a 10/10. He reminds me so much of the guy from Wet Sand, the gangster top who is my ultimate biggest BL crush.

I actually love this story I understand why it’s unpopular though.

PatrickStar created a topic of God's Man

I love love this! There’s so much interesting things to look at and I love the dialogue. The scenes where he’s floating in mid air are so incredibly chilling and intense. I love that the author leaves it up to the readers to decide if that really is God or the devil or if he even is God, is he a benevolent or selfish one, we never get the answer “why all this suffering?” For a particular man to achieve transcendence?
His dialogue with Michael about if you choose to believe than he is real is focal to how we as readers can choose to believe if the God is real or figment of their imagination. And within the context of the story, whether the MC and Michael choose to believe.

The art is also magnifique.

PatrickStar created a topic of The First Commandment

Baffled because this is amazing??? I love that we get to see the thought process of Alexei, the plot is cliche but well done and the art is incredible. A really fleshed out MC, obsessive and toxic. I wish with all my heart it was AlphaxAlpha but I think his sacrifice to turn into an omega is an interesting layer. The homophobia is gross af though. I hope the author works to give a more rounded story and explain the thought process better.
