Dangerous Convenience Store

Complete | 945 | 2019 released

#30 i’m fucking soaked. hottest update yet, it’s crazy… and it’s been awhile since i took this many screenshots from one single chapter. i’m getting turned on again just thinking about it, lmfao. CHRIST. #37 all i can say is <3333 edit: this shit just keeps getting better and better. y’all won’t be disappointed whichever way you choose to look at it, lol. edit #2: it’s INSANE how this literally just keeps getting better and better by the week—every single chapter. the feeling literally NEVER. FADES. AWAY. everything from their chemistry, the art itself, the dynamics, the smut—it probably deserves the #1 spot on any or every single yaoi rating list there is—and the entire fucking story as a whole, fuuuuck. also, please note that it’s been over a year since i first started reading this… and it’s STILL the update i look forward to the most each week. it’s THAT fucking amazing. (crazy good, i can’t even…!!!) i’m legit simping so hard right now, i’m low-key worried it’s becoming an actual issue at this point. like, feeling this way about a story and its fictional characters simply CANNOT be normal. lmfao, help. edit #3: it’s over now, and i wish i had the words to express just how much i’ve loved this story, truly! i’d get so ridiculously impatient awaiting updates every single week that i’d usually end up rereading the chapters once or twice, or even browse the web for any future raws or something like that. i don’t have a single doubt in joy kind that i’ll be rereading this one at least a couple of times. even more so now as there’s an official english translation in progress! i’m so excited for that as well, y’all have no idea, lol. anyway, just wanted to state real quick that this manhwa has been a solid favorite from day one. it was one of the first comics i ever started reading (coincidentally, it was first released right around that time), and it’s stuck with me right until the end. solid, solid favorite. 10/10, every single day of the week. god, i LOVE. THEM. TOGETHER. and their domestic life is so freakin’ wholesome as well that i can’t help wanting to tear up; especially knowing where and how things first started out. soooo obsessed with this still!!! it’s been almost two years now, goddamn. definitely worth sticking around. <33

Summer Solstice Point

Complete | yuju | 2019 released

I liked this one because of its rare realism when it comes to comics and such. It was intriguing to watch their relationship dynamics shift and evolve throughout! Not too much excitement; not too little depth. It was a nice, unexpected balance! I feel that it’s a bit rare to find characters who stay true to themselves all the way until the very end. They simply grew together. And I especially appreciate the way they both handled things respectively, too. Once again, quite realistic for a manhwa. (Or maybe I’ve just been reading the unrealistic kind until now, sheesh. I don’t know.) Anyway, even though it wasn’t particularly exciting in other areas, I’ll give credit where it’s due! I’m definitely a generous reviewer, though, so I don’t know about it everyone else… I’m not particularly difficult to please with this stuff, I guess. Still, this was my take on it! I’ve enjoyed reading a somewhat shorter comic for once—most of those I’ve been binging are much longer, so that’s a nice change of pace. (Let’s just overlook the fact that I didn’t actually complete this one in one sitting, but those are mere details.) I’d recommend it to readers who might be into anxious, realistic, very ‘real life-like’ characters in a generally melancholic atmosphere without all that bothersome, unnecessary melodrama to top it off. Just keepin’ it real, is all. And there’s that!

Virtues of the Villainess

Ongoing | Bae Hee Jin,Koonac | 2020 released

so goddamn good, y’all. i ADORE our two main characters—and of course hamel, too! this shit was too funny, haha. i was constantly cracking up. the dynamic between ginger and izana was spectacular, and so very entertaining! i just woke up, so i’m a bit too hazy to write a proper review. however!!! please note that it was a great story with awesome development. i genuinely looked forward to updates every single week until it was finally marked complete. i’ll definitely be checking out any (or more like every) other work done by the creators! such an engaging story ‘til the very end, sheesh.

Love Me Doctor!

Complete | Ana | 2019 released

HAHAHAHAH, this doctor is wildin’!!! i’m so here for it. edit: given the title, i expected this to be something sweet and lovey-dovey… what the hell is this, lmao. ;_; don’t get me wrong, i’m thoroughly enjoying it, but HOW THE HELL DOES THIS UROLOGIST STILL HAVE A MEDICAL LICENSE??? christ, he’s seriously wild. hyuk is so innocent and naive, too. i’m almost scared to keep reading… and i’m not even past chapter five yet. shieeeet. i really love their interactions, though. edit #2: this stresses me out like CRAZY!!! edit #3: sighhh… i should’ve expected that plot twist. i guess i kinda did subconsciously in a way, sheesh. edit #4: so, so sweet. i really loved that ending! didn’t expect it to end up being this wholesome. the conclusion is kinda what i expected the story to be like as a whole BEFORE actually reading it, so in a weird way, this feels somewhat nostalgic—even though i literally just started reading this a couple of hours ago. (i don’t even understand my own reasoning, don’t mind me.) either way, i’m pleasantly surprised by the outcome! it’s been a while since i binged a completed story. this was a nice change of pace.

A Shoulder to Cry On

Complete | Dongmul | 2000 released

i’m rereading and LMFAO, i forgot how wild this one actually is. really interesting dynamics between the main characters. aaaand, i also just realized how weirdly relatable this manhwa is. depression can really fuck someone up; it’ll shut off your empathy and sanity until you’re nothing but an empty shell. on the other hand, your numb brain is simultaneously imploring you act out, just so that you’d feel anything at all. (‘cause anything is apparently better than nothing. well, at least for most individuals, i guess.) fucking hell, if chronic numbness isn’t the story of my life. either way, i’m really, really liking this! now i know why i gave it a five star rating back in february earlier this year, lol. unique characters and emotional complexity wins!

I Was Born As The Demon Lord's Daughter

Ongoing | Yeul,Eunmin,Garamgee,Inballo | 2019 released

i should probably be saying something a lot more significant in regards to the story as a whole, but… i really miss daddy’s long, silky hair. ;-; this is an awesome story, though! and things have really been ‘picking up’ lately, lol. i’m excited for this upcoming season!!! (whichever number it might be, i’ve lost track.) the only downside to this story, at least for me personally, is the same, generic look for every single character. literally all of them have practically identical faces. and if that’s not enough, they all have similar hairstyles, too. it’s been somewhat easy to remember (and place) the most frequently appearing characters’ faces and such, but given that there are SOOOO many side characters and names to remember, most of them are starting to look the same to me now. i can’t even recall anyone’s names other rin, ren, erin, rei and daddy karavan. (i’m not sure i even got those right…?) anyway, that’s about it. i hope something big’ll happen soon; things are starting to become tedious. i want some action!!! or at least some character development, if nothing else.

I Like You

Complete | Momopia | 2000 released

this one has me IN. LITERAL. TEARS. i was rolling on the floor from all the secondhand embarrassment, i kid you not. this one i’ll DEFINITELY reread. i genuinely loved it! as well as its characters and their respective personalities.
