Perfect Body

Ongoing | Cho Sangduck | 2000 released

this is next level fucked up… holy FUCK, man. i’m feeling so uncomfortable right now. it’s PAINFUL. even more so knowing how fucking turned on i am right now despite all this fucked up shit… i genuinely don’t know if i’ve ever read anything as messed up as this. THIS is sadism. pure, emotional & psychological torture. holy shit. i can’t believe he actually got him to dildo-fuck his brother. WITHOUT. THE BROTHER’S. KNOWLEDGE. and then our sweet, innocent little shiwon just KEPT. GOING. with ML, knowing that his brother was passed out naked in the bed next to them. even after he woke up and saw them, too… fuuuck. WHAT EVEN— …and yet, i’m still here. not gonna lie, i’m kinda obsessed. i want to see where it goes. edit: aww, hell. i’m finding this a whole lot sweeter than i thought i would. it took them about a season and a half (?), but i quite like the state of their relationship right now. things are so different now, sheesh… i’m glad that the whole… ‘incest wincest’ thing didn’t leave permanent damage, lololol. i’m honestly more surprised about the fact that neither brother gave it a lot of thought afterwards. well, i mean… i guess that’s beneficial for the ship and all—which is officially SAILING, by the way—but knowing how ambiguous their relationship is (meaning all three), i’m a little anxious about how they’ll handle this whole ordeal in the future. in a weird way, it almost seemed to bring the brothers closer together, lol. they’re subconsciously working out some life-long issues, it’d seem. i’m just happy to see that they seem to be in a much better place now! man, this turned out different from my initial review, haha. now i can shamelessly exclaim how much i love this story—finally!!! i’m excited for season three. <33

It Looks Like I’ve Fallen into the World of a Reverse Harem Game

Ongoing | 이늬 , Goyaa, 고야 | 2019 released

oh my fucking GOD, i adore and worship this woman to death!!! AND. HER. UNPARALLELED. HAREM. fml, so many loyal & lovable daddies i could cryyyy myself into next week. i can’t believe how badly i ship her with all these people, it’s borderline INSANE at this point. (it’s really not, i’m just being dramatic. polygamy is underrated AF.) in any case, what’s her body-count by now? or, well… instead, how many ‘active’ relationships does she have as of right now? we have, like, six male leads or something. (i might even be forgetting a few.) either way, how fucking sweet is THAT?! we’re so blessed, my dudes. those are some lucky ass men. she’s a goddamn GODDESS, too. and she’s one EXTREMELY lucky woman—i can tell you that much!!! i mean, if i were her, i’d feel on top of the world… and i’d probably never leave my bedroom. wowza. (the ever-present sexual tension is killinggg meeee.) but, on another note: the art itself is incredibly expressive, and the story’s so intricately written, too! there’s so much overall emotional depth and character development here, i’m so wholly in love with this creation. honestly, i simply feel that this is an incredible story that deserves all the recognition it’s been getting… and more, if possible. i can’t stress this enough. 10/10, would ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY recommend. can’t believe how obsessed i’ve become, lololol. i keep asking myself why i keep holding off on reading these incredible stories… i really don’t understand myself, sheesh. seriously cannot WAIT for season three to be released, though! i’m so excited, ahhhh. <33

Ongoing | 흙수저,독점 | 2019 released

daaamn, dude!!! this guy is starting to feel like a whole damn sociopath to me, lmao. i definitely didn’t expect something like that heading into the story, but we’ll see how it goes! i’m not sure how i feel about it yet. but i ALSO know that one shouldn’t make assumptions this early in. i french end up proving myself wrong.

Crimson Karma Webtoon

Ongoing | Lemonfrog (remongeguri),Rada,Ssalsoop,Yasen | 2019 released

woooow. it’s been ages since i actually binge-read something in one sitting. (well, technically two sittings if you count the fact that i was unfortunately forced to go to sleep before being able to finish it.) either way, i’m completely BLOWN. AWAY. by this amazing work of art. i’d almost go as far as to call it a perfect story. (quite the biased and ambitious statement, i know.) i really liked her ‘unofficial’ redemption arc! she really didn’t actively TRY to be a better person with that goal in mind; its more like she realized that she wasn’t all bad to begin with. it was just wonderful watching her slowly gain insight about herself, as well as coming to similar realizations about other people as well. kasia really didn’t seem to think of herself as someone worthy of anything but pain and misery… depressingly enough, she only ever saw herself as a tool which could be used, abused and discarded at any point in time. and this was the reality for quite some time, at that! but bro, i LOVED watching her character change and grow into someone truly admirable and dependable! someone who eventually figured out how to value things; how to love, how to laugh and how to appreciate life itself. reading this manhwa has been a truly wonderful experience for me personally. i was quite moved at times. i grew quite attached to these characters, it’d seem! but ugh, man!!! all this character development, i kid you not. it’s been great. and not just for her, but for most of these guys! and ughhh, ernon owns a part of my heart. he’s a close favorite, right next to kasia. i adored this guy and he deserves the whole wide world. (i’m pretty sure i’m not alone on that one.) mikhail, zeke, tasel, luke and everyone else were great additions, too. i’m not at all surprised that this story has been getting (mostly) such high ratings. it’s quality content, if you ask me! aaaand… i believe that, as a writer, it must be surprisingly difficult (but really not all that surprising, really) to create so many unique and consistent characters from scratch. i mean, these are all individuals who’re different in every aspect of the word. they’ve all been leading different lives; each and every one of them have tailored personalities, pasts and perspectives. in my opinion, it’s truly a silent form of talent… and an unspoken form of art. it’s something i truly admire about artists, writers and creators. especially when a story is this well-written! anyway. the point is was TRYING to make with the previous paragraph… is that these creators reaaally did a good job with that. not only was i emotionally invested from the start, but i was always visually appreciating the art and its storytelling from the very beginning as well. (hook, line and sinker!!!) i thought that the pacing was great. nothing felt forced or rushed to me. all the interactions the characters had with each other felt natural, fluid and personal. aaaand, for whatever my opinion might be worth to whomever is reading this: this manhwa is most definitely a new favorite of mine. i liked everything about it, honestly. well, i suppose i’m simply someone who genuinely appreciates good, meticulous work and talented creators! anyway. this review ended up a lot longer than initially expected, lol. but such displays of appreciation is always needed!!! i love love LOOOVE it. and thanks for coming to my TED-talk!!! see ya on the flippity flop.

this is unexpectedly dark... i like it! and the smut is seriously fucking KILLINGGGG. MEEEE. my god, rough sex is just the best. fml. edit: a lot of things have happened since that initial comment… and i really do mean A LOT. i love this couple!!! (despite all the drama.) still, they seem pretty solid! the story’s been consistently engaging, too, and i still like it as much as i did back when i first attracted out. in any case, it’s been a great read! i’ll be looking forward to the epilogue chapters. <33 or maybe side-story might be the more accurate term. heh. edit #2: side-story did NOT, in fact, disappoint. they were better than expected, actually! they were nothing like i thought they’d be, to be honest. well, ‘dynamically’, that is. i thought that the overall vibes would be different, but i’m pleasantly surprised! ahhh, i loved it. <33 and i’ve absolutely loved this manhwa! the sexy yaoi gorgeousness in all its glory, heh. perfect!

Love Plan

Complete | majungji | 2019 released

lol… looking at the reviews here is pretty funny, oof. why the low scoring? i actually quite enjoyed myself. even though it was waaaaay shorter than i would’ve preferred, i still liked it! things started off with a real nice, drunken bang!!! the dynamic between these guys was… interesting, to say the least. however ‘shady’ things might’ve been (and gotten), the couple still seemed happy and content by the end of everything, and that’s all that really matters to me, anyway. …but, since there’s only ten actual chapters to review, i won’t keep you here for too long. just wanted to add the minor fact that the smut was TOP NOTCH QUALITY, BROOO!!! that’s very important. true story. #priorities either way, i most likely would’ve given it a five star rating if i had more material to go on. it’s a shame, really… i thought the manhwa had only just started when i saw that ‘the end’ at the very bottom of chapter ten, lol. caught me a little off-guard, not gonna lie. but that’s about it!!! until next time. ;)
