Vivarium

Complete | Sundal | 2019 released

what in the actual fuck did i just read ??? well, then. i always knew i was fucking psycho, but i still manage to surprise myself, it’d seem. i imagine the stockholm syndrome ought to grow pretty strong with this one, aye? rape, rape, raaaape. all we see is rape. there’s clearly no hope for character development for our idiot ‘kidnapper’ or whatever, and i have no idea how things’ll turn out for our MC… but i guess i’ll stick around ‘til i find out. ugh. these people are all fucking crazy. psychos, the whole bunch. i’d be genuinely surprised if they all made it out alive. the fuuuuck, bro.

Limited Run

Complete | Eeej | 2019 released

i could cry from all this sexy hotness and i haven’t even started yet. #help edit: i’m now up-to-date and HOLY FUCK WHAT A TOXIC MESS. jesus, this shit’s hot, too. and depressing… but mostly hot. equally as fucked up, naturally. goddammit… i know the author said we’ll be getting a happy ending, but… ohhh, man. i really can’t see it at this point in time. they have such an unhealthy dynamic going on. ;_; edit #2: it’s finally complete… god, this was pretty messed up. (i still loved it, though, lol!) definitely not as bad as it could’ve been, knowing how miserable and violated some of the main characters in these stories end up. my one and only complaint is the rushed ending. it’s a shame we didn’t actually get to see them as a “happy couple” or whatever they would’ve been, but i’m hoping we’ll get a couple of side chapters showcasing that eventually.

Aporia

Complete | seontae | 2000 released

ridiculously hot. fucking HELL, man... god. in any case, i absolutely LOVED being able to witness them slowly build up their trust in each other, as well as seeing their relationship steadily grow into something healthy and genuine. (well, i’m comparison to their beginning, at least. they went from semi-toxic mess to a strangely-nice mess. haha) but shieeet, i’m so happyyyy!!! just look at how far they've come! and that breath control aspect, too?! ughhh, that chapter nearly killed me. my babieeees, i love them. this has been such a joy to read. <33 or perhaps ‘thrill’ would be a much more fitting term, knowing the ‘theme’ and overall atmosphere of this manhwa… hah, i don’t even know. great storytelling nonetheless! P.S. i would’ve loved to write a more ‘worthy’ final review for this story than this lacking piece of… literary trash (???), but oh well. my mind’s blanking again, and i’m kinda struggling to conjure up something… coherent. something that’d properly sum up this whole reading experience. i’ll definitely reread it someday, though—mark my words!!! whichever way you look at it, this is a beautifully complex story with perfectly flawed, realistic characters. (with their hot, engaging BDSM sex-life being the cherry on top, heh.) definitely a favorite, no doubt! P.P.S. can’t wait for the epilogue chapter, ahhhh!!! i’m not quite ready to say goodbye to these folks just yet, goddammit.
