Green Apple Paradise

Complete | Chung Nak Won | 2018 released

AHHHH, SO WHOLESOME!!!! i seriously love these characters, lol. one of the few graphic novels i genuinely look forward to (and want to read ASAP) each week. and we’re blessed with new chapters every week!!! sometimes more than one, y’all. we’re so spoiled. but anyway, i adore them all. ESPECIALLY ‘the second couple’ or whatever i should call them, i just love their energy. or perhaps synergy would be a more fitting term? if you’re a fan, you’d know what i mean by that. hahahaha edit: so, we just hit season 3… AND IT’S BEEN UPGRADED TO A FUCKING YAOI, FAM!!! they just went ahead and hit us with a “cherry blossoms after winter” shounen-ai-turned-yaoi, you guys. but hey, y’all don’t understand just how unexpectedly turned on i am right now, sheesh. this just made my whole damn day. aaaand i need a shower. (mini-edit: went back and reread it later in the evening for masturbation material, heh. i’m kinda sick in the head for doing that to our precious babies, i know, but my GOOOOD, i just live for their chemistry!!! it’s so good and i’m so, so, soooo looking forward to this new season. surprise us, author-nim!)

K's secret

BJ alex

Complete | Mingwa | 2000 released

simply spectacular. i’ve read it twice and i’ll probably reread it again at some point. the cringe actor is INSANE (but in a good way), and the comedic aspects were quite literally genius writing, lol. it’s just our baby’s personality, y’all. he’s precious and he deserves the world. oh, and the character development was outstanding, too! if i remember things correctly, this was the very first comic i read in here. or at least it was among the very first ones. i still hold it in high regard; despite having read hundreds and hundreds of stories since! so yeah, that should at something. i kinda miss it, actually. might even reread it sooner than i expected!

Sweet Spot (se yang)

Complete | se yang | 2000 released

super. freakin’. ADORABLE. even so, i wish there’d been more of a conclusive ending, but it was alright, i guess. perhaps there’ll be a few bonus episodes!!! or an epilogue, hopefully. well, considering the fact that it’s still not marked as complete yet. ;)

Ranker who lives a second time

Ongoing | Nong nong,Sa doyeon | 2000 released

HOLY SHIT, WHAT AN INTRODUCTION!!!!! edit: he’s such a bad bitch, this is great. far from what i expected, but i’m definitely not disappointed! he’s so fucking cool, man. and so was his brother!!! would’ve loved to see them in action together. perhaps there’ll be a plot twist somewhere down the line where it’s revealed that he’s actually alive or something, considering we never got to see his death—nor his corpse. (as of right now, at least.) anyway, heh. i’ll try to not expect too much! wouldn’t want to end up with disappointment. i’m really excited for this, y’all. edit #2: this shit just keeps getting better and better. the quality (both the art and the plot) keeps continuously improving as well. but bro, i’m loving these solo leveling vibes. <33 in the best way possible, though!!! it doesn’t feel copied, nor exasperated. they’re similar in some ways, but soooo different in others. i think it’s fair to say that the vibes feel somewhat similar, but they’re still incredibly different and unique next to each other. it’s quite intriguing, really. anyway, i can’t wait to keep going! edit #3: few stories seem to have the capability to get me this hyped up. it’s literally every single chapter now. INSANE. so, so good. i just finished 105 and now i don’t know what to do with myself, lololol. how am i supposed to wait another week for the next update? FML. solo leveling is almost a week away from updating, too… should i just reread the whole thing…? maybe i ought to reread them both…??? i’m seriously shaking from the excitement at this point, sheesh. i WORSHIP stories like these. they make my normally numb and dull existence seem somewhat thrilling for a change. i’m addicted to the feeling of it! if you guys know any similar stories, please do let me know. i’m aiming to discover new wonders each day, but it’s been getting more and more difficult as of late. this is why it’s important to keep my tags organized, sheesh… anyway. i’m super impressed by this. edit #4: 106 chapters in and THIS IS NO JOKE, SIR!!! fucking hell, it’s so good. every chapter keeps me hooked, y’all. i should probably try to control this impulsive need to constantly update this goddamn comment… i mean, literally no one gives a shit. ughhh, send help. ;_;

Lucky Paradise

Complete | Kang neuk | 2019 released

I. CAN’T. COPE. this is fucking genius, i swear to everything unholy. omfggg. ridiculously clumsy and adorably awkward, but so good still. sheesh… and the SEX, bro!!!!! my vagina needs a break, lol. edit: this manhwa is making me experience all kinds of anxiety. i’ve kinda missed this feeling, heh. this is so freakin’ wholesome!!! incredibly relatable, too. and if that’s not all, the smut is TOP. NOTCH. literally had to go masturbate afterwards (and had to struggle not to do so while reading) because i was thoroughly soaked through. getting kinda wet just recalling it, heh. good thing i’m in the shower, i guess. TMI but #yolo edit #2: this is getting all kinds of fucked up, my god... please, just stop hurting each other. ;_; edit #3: well, this is new. WHAT. A. MESS. a glorious, toxic mess!!! still, i’m kinda happy about this journey, not gonna lie. at least they’re finally giving it a ‘real chance’ for once, despite everything that’s happened… and i hope that they’ll be able to find different ways to make each other better people, truly. (i honestly think they will.) i’m rooting for you guys! edit #4: a couple of epilogue parts later, and i’m growing more and more enthusiastic about them as a couple by the chapter! i love them, and they both deserve the world. our babies are healing. <3 edit #5: THE. SMUT. IS. FUCK. ING. UN. REAL. holy shit, man!!! haven’t felt so turned on in my life, omfg. (that’s an exaggeration, but still)

Sword Sheath's Child

Ongoing | Hyung min kim,Kyung-il yang | 2019 released

haha, four chapters in and i can already tell that this is about to become a favorite. amazing! edit: this is so fascinating!!! this is PACKED with complex and interesting characters. the plot’s amazing, too! it seems as though i really hit the jackpot with this one. edit #2: such an IMMENSE power elite, wow. i’m so weak for shit like this. i’m struggling to contain myself, lol. it just keeps getting better and better. and bira is so fucking cool!!! i love how everything’s starting to come together more and more every chapter. this is bound to have an epic conclusion later on, i’m sure. although i bet it’s a few years away from this very moment, lol. 87 chapters and it still feels like it’s only the beginning.

Return Survival

Ongoing | Yeonwoosol, 연우솔,Kim moo-hyun, 김무현 | 2019 released

well, the art is unfortunately pretty underwhelming… and the storytelling itself is impersonal and unnecessarily straightforward. although i’m only 13 chapters in at this point, i’m feeling more than a little bit disappointed. nonetheless, i’m hoping for a turnaround soon! and hopefully it’ll include something along the lines of 1) a more engaging art-style, 2) complex characters with continuous character development, and 3) overall improvements in this not-so-intricate writing. i mean, it’s just messy and emotionally lacking. i know who our MC is, but i don’t know what makes him ‘stand out’ from the others… other than the fact that he’s thoroughly prepared and generally well-versed in the matter of apocalyptic realities—courtesy of his regression. man. it’s just freakin’ BORING. zombies and violence should be bringing some excitement!!! there’s no buildup and no sense of growth whatsoever. we were just suddenly thrown into a semi-strange, dystopian plot. ughhh… i don’t want to give up on this already, but i’m tempted to just drop the whole thing. i’ll stick around for 10 more chapters; just to try and figure out what the actual prospects are, but i definitely won’t be holding my breath. anyway, see ya!!! (well, maybe. hopefully... probably not.)
