You and I can't do this

Complete | Oh Doyeon,Moscareto | 2000 released

this is hot as fuuuuck. i love a good yaoi office romance. so excited. and horny. <33 i’ve literally only JUST. STARTED. and this story has already killed me deeeed. y’all, i kid you not. I’M NOT EVEN PAST THE FIRST FUCKING CHAPTER AND I’M ALREADY FORCED TO HOLD IN SCREAMS FROM ALL THE CRINGE. it’s actually hilarious, lmfao. low-key, tho… i’m kinda obsessed with this, ngl. these characters have great chemistry!!! and i l love the dynamics. edit: IT’S OVER AND THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A WHOLESOME RIDE, OMFG. i just adore these two so much. not only was the chemistry spot-on (like i mentioned earlier), but their interactions have always felt sincere and remained a consistent source of entertainment ‘til the very end. no wonder i kept rereading this even though the manhwa wasn’t even complete, lol! no regrets, though. these two will stay with me, for sure. hilariously adorable, the both of ‘em.

Seventh Strike

Ongoing | Sonyeon | 2019 released

the story’s finally completed, y’all!! i’ve thoroughly been enjoying myself here. although the story somewhat weirded me out at first, it quickly morphed into wholesomeness, to be honest with you. and a lot sooner than i expected it to at that! still, i must admit that the ending felt a little rushed—some might even use the word ‘incomplete’—but it wasn’t a bad ending at all. i liked it! if the author were to publish another story, i'll definitely be there to check it out!

i’ve merely seen some of the photos and i’m already fucking dripping, y’all. this ain’t fair. I’M BUSY!!! edit: OH MY GOD, I LOVE THEM BOTH. well, at least i do now. they were really being weird with each other in the beginning, lol. now i love the dynamics!!! and the confidence of our main man, y’all… i quite admire his boldness, ngl. i’m looking forward to this! edit #2: it’s settled. doyoon is officially my king. or a queen—whichever fits. my god, i love him so much. (even though he’s low-key a sex addict, heh.) go off, boy!!! i like his style. edit #3: this thing was SO. FUCKING. GOOD. i guess we’ll be moving on from doyoon and hanseok now... season three’s definitely off to a good start, though!!! once again, i’m super excited. ^^ edit #4: AHHHH, IT’S KINDA STRESSING ME OUT, THO!!!! i’m loving these dynamics and i find the story itself pretty unpredictable, but my GOD, it’s good. i hope they become regular sex partners. that’d be so hot. (well, as long as it’s consensual, that is.) i’m STILL excited!!! edit #5: bro, my pulse as i’m reading this shit… it’s been awhile since i read something as arousing as this, what in the holy hell, lmao. it’s fucking ridiculous at this point. I. WANT. ALL. OF. IT. chakyeong can tie me up and step on me (i beg) while woojin fucks me up all night, every night, ‘til i die. (please and thank you.

Noblesse

Complete | son jae ho,Lee Gwang-Su | 2008 released

this looks truly spectacular thus far! i’m reading it on the webtoon app since it’s available on there for free. plus in great quality, too!!! y’all should head over there and support the creators of this masterpiece. it’s only polite. ;) edit: i’m seriously LOVING this. it’s fucking great! and brief occasional comedic scenes (in pretty much every other chapter) are seriously ingenious, lol. i’m cracking up like crazy. frankenstein and rai’s dialogues are fucking HYSTERICAL. can’t believe i’ve barely read a tenth of this whole thing, haha. oh well!!! it’s most def quality content. and those door opening scenes, too, lmfao!! i literally CANNOT. wheeze quality material, fo sho. edit #2: i get chills all over my body every single time he says “kneel” and that’s no exaggeration. like, papiiii!!! you’re so fucking HOT. and so is frankie, naturally. the art has improved so much and i didn’t even notice it until, like, chapter 200–aka season 4. just saw a panel from the first chapter and it’s like it’s a completely different story, y’all… ;–; but in the best way possible!!! i get more and more invested the more i read. SKJWHDKABDHSJBIXJAKS!!! edit #3: these characters are seriously among the most lovable and admirable ones i’ve seen in a long time. and raizel especially! he deserves the world. we must unite and protect this angel AT. ALL. COSTS. and the loyalty these guys have for each other… my god, my heart literally aches. i love them all. - — - — - — - — - edit #4: i haven’t been making any edits here for a long time now… it’s been around 300 chapters or so, i believe? either way, it’s partially because i’ve been reading nonstop for awhile now, and i’ve even been struggling with the simple notion of taking small breaks to catch my breath—let alone spare a moment to update y’all on where my thoughts are at. to put it simply, i just completed this three minutes ago and i’m literally SOBBING. still reeling from the aftershocks writing this. i haven’t ugly-sobbed from reading a story in years… i barely even cry in general. but this manhwa made me weep and literally WAIL at 05:00 in the fucking morning because i refused to go to sleep once i realized i only had a few dozen chapters remaining. i mean… i’m simply mind-blown by this. definitely one of the best stories i’ve ever read. and i do mean EVER. (note that i’ve read a lot of them at this point in time, lol.) i know i’ve said this before, but my standards are relatively high—yet they’re still constantly rising. knowing that, i’d still consider this story a top tier prime example of creativity, emotional engagement and commitment. 540+ chapters and i NEVER got bored. this is literally unheard of in my case. truly, i never imagined i’d get so emotionally invested in this… nor did i expect to grow so attached to these characters. seriously, i fucking ADORE these people. some of the best ones i’ve ever come across, to be honest. i think raizel might be my favorite MC ever; frankenstein reaches a close second. they’ve just been constantly growing on me since the very beginning—more so as of late than ever before. it’s been a real blessing getting to see each and every single one’s character development and growth. the only reason i’ve been able to collect myself by now is the fact that there’s another noblesse short story other than this one… which will explain this amazing ending that kinda broke me. (i can’t cope, lol. i think my system’s malfunctioning.) anyway. i seriously should be sleeping right now (it’s 05:29 AM), but i just needed to add this while the endorphins in my blood are still running wild and my emotions are still fresh. it’s literally a masterpiece. i need to buy the graphic novels or something. i’d even attempt learning korean if there aren’t any english translations published or available. i don’t even care anymore. i just know it’d be worth it. EVERYONE should be reading this. now, i’m gonna head back to my bed and sob some more before i pass out. take care, y’all. see you in the next one. - — - — - — - — - soooo, there’s that. i just woke up and i still feel emotional thinking about how the story’s over now, lol. but like i said, there’s a side story about rai that’ll hopefully help me calm my nerves! it’ll surely completely shatter me, if nothing else. but who knows? 10/10, would ABSOLUTELY recommend. such an emotional—yet endearing—power trip. i was actually kind of doubtful about reading this at first, i’ll admit... apparently i’d already read the first chapter on webtoon long ago and decided it wasn’t for me. still, obviously-and-not-so-surprisingly, i gave it another shot over a year later (once i’d broadened my horizons a little bit) and fell in love instantly. it was just so unique, intriguing and refreshing. raizel was a type of main character i’d never come across before, and the side characters were interesting, fun and very compelling as well. frankenstein grew on me INSTANTLY. well, i mean… naturally, lol. M-21, muzaka, takeo, tao, seira, regis, shinwu & company, gejutel, raskreia, former lord whatshisname and pretty much EVERYONE else weren’t all that far behind, either. us readers just kept on being introduced to new, enthralling side characters—all of whom had unique personalities and interesting traits. i looooved the nobles and the werewolves, too. especially by the time we’d reached the final conclusion... the whole dynamic of it all just felt so damn wholesome and admirable. oh, but i won’t be listing any more names because i feel it’d be a bit abundant—i’m sure you get my point. anyway. you know what else i loved? the epic fighting scenes. they only grew more exciting and grand with time. and the buildups were NEVER letdowns. i don’t think i’ve ever taken this many screenshots from one single story before, lol. i know i also said the exact same about ‘solo leveling’ which i completed just two weeks ago (and worshipped ‘til the very end), but i honestly think i have that one beat in numbers of screenshots. sheesh. P.S. for what it’s worth, i also watched the anime (there’s only one season available right now) once i’d made it about… halfway through the story, i believe? anyway, it was pretty alright, too. i kinda liked it more in the beginning than i did later on—mainly because the version of raizel in the anime didn’t exactly coincide with the raizel i’d grown accustomed to in the manhwa. (he talked a loooot more, haha.) i felt it was somewhat anti-climactic overall... there were so many details, including characters, that were overlooked, lacking or or simply missing altogether. i’ll probably watch the next season when it airs, no doubt, but it will never compare to the actual story. but, once again, thank you for coming to my TED-talk!!! this is a clear new favorite of mine—for lots of different reasons. it’s rare coming across a story that continually pulls you in the more you read. usually i’d experience a decline in either quality or plot, but this one didn’t disappoint me at all. i might be biased for all i know, but it was crazy good still. i’m completely in love. anyway!!! appreciate you for sticking around ‘til the very end of this review. i hope i managed to properly (or at least somewhat) express just how big of a mark this story has left on me in the name of manhwa and all that is holy. it’s now been about 7,5 hours since i finished it, and bro—i’m legit STILL reeling from this shit. i’m confident i’ll be rereading this soon, though. beware!!! <3

Noblesse: Rai's Adventure

Complete | son jae-ho,lee gwang-su | 2016 released

i just finished noblesse a short while ago. i’m sobbing and therefore in desperate need of a distraction ASAP. can’t believe it’s over. fuck me. but just as expected, this was wholesome af!!! a nice little escape into events that happened way before his 820 year long slumber. really appreciate the creators for giving us this bonus on top of everything, though... i truly miss these guys already. i just wish we’d get to find out just how rai and everyone else managed to survive that final scene in the actual noblesse story. hmmm… will we ever get to find out? i hope so, but i’ll try not to expect too much. it’s been an amazing experience either way. creators, I LOVE YOU. and thank you. (P.S. this, just like noblesse, is available for free on webtoon. head over there and support the creators.)

The Golden Haired Elementalist

Ongoing | Geulbi, domac | 2019 released

this is great so far! our MC is… something else, though. (lol.) nonetheless, i’m thoroughly amused! edit: yep, she’s definitely SOMETHING. even though i do admire her transparency in regards to her personality—aka narcissism, arrogance and things of the like, she’s not exactly the most likable MC out there. geenie’s kind of an asshole, honestly. i wouldn’t go as far as to say i dislike her character; she’s definitely interesting, and she does have her moments, but i genuinely hope there’ll be some major character development down the line. and i reaaally don’t appreciate her taking advantage of everyone and everything around her… ughhh. still, i truly do enjoy the story!!! i’m pretty excited for updates, too—not gonna lie. we shall have to wait and see!
