pluviophiliac's manga / #depressing af(603)

ahhhh, this is so good!!! i’m absolutely loving the family dynamics here. it’s not just any basic, dramatic romance story; it actually has some real substance to it! there are so many great aspects here as well—not just in regards to human complexity and emotional depth, but in character development, too. excellent, excellent writing! god, i can’t wait for the day they’ll finally become a ‘real’ family—not just one on paper. i’m excited for the future!

ughhh, exquisite writing. this might just be one of the more ‘romantically genuine’ romances i’ve read in quite some time. this is what a strong, healthy, emotionally mature couple should look like!!! my heart is practically RACING for them at this point, lol. (and not just for romantic reasons, either. if you know, you KNOW.) still, just the sheer adoration, care and respect these two have for each other is something you don’t really get to witness all that often… even in fiction. i’m serious. the bar has risen after this one, i dare say! but ohhh, man… i’m anxious for them. i have faith that they’ll come out on top in the end, and that this psycho ‘ex-date’ of hers will get what’s coming for him. i’m eagerly waiting!!! overall, this is just an amazing story. i love the realistic aspects of it, too! there’s not any unnecessary drama, and there’s not too many strange coincidences and stuff like that, either. perfect! i can’t wait to watch them thrive together. ahhhh, my perfect, super-adult-like-and-in-no-way-childish babies who both deserve the world. and each other. <3 edit: IT’S FINALLY COMPLETED, AND I’M SOOOO CONTENT WITH THIS ENDING!!! absolutely love them. <33

ugh, this is just so wholesome!!! i love how hard they’re all working to ‘incorporate’ her into the family and make her feel at ease with them. they’re all truly good people, and they all deserve the whole goddamn world. can’t wait to watch this one play out!

ohhh, this is interesting! i’m loving it so far, despite this weak, unnecessarily short review—believe it or not. i’m too tired and my brain can’t seem to function properly at the moment, so i might have to come back another time for some more ‘deserving’ commentary.

welp… i have mixed feelings about this one. it’s as wholesome as it is fucked up. ahhh, how wonderfully paradoxical! i quite appreciated the art and that almost ‘ethereal’ feel to it… but the actual plot itself was kinda underwhelming and felt flat. at least during the more important parts of the story… there wasn’t a lot of emotional depth. it would’ve been nice to see more clear progression of events and their relationship. i mean, i get it… but it’s still disappointing. i originally wanted to give this a 3/5 star rating, but i ended up giving it 4/5 because i didn’t want to condemn the art like that… hah. oh well, lol! it was an intercity short read, though. how long did it take me, what, 50 minutes?? maybe an hour??? either way, the creator definitely could’ve made this a lot longer. or at least more… ‘progressive’, if you will. i don’t even know, man!!! but, on a more serious note: this is not a manhwa i’d i’d typically recommend, though… since it’s not really a story that feels particularly accomplished. and, however sweet the origin of their relationship is: this whole ordeal is a strange one!!! so much miscommunication… and ‘unnecessary’ abuse. this legit wouldn’t even be a story if she’d just let him SPEAK during their first night when she realized he knew who she was!!! so dumb, sheesh.

i’ve browsed through this (twice), and it’s freakin’ amazing from what i can see!!! however… WHERE’S THE FUCKING SMUT??? it seriously took, like, 50+ chapters. ;_; although i must admit that all the smut we’ve gotten thus far has been of excellent quality! (however rapey it may be, ugh.) edit: AHHHH, THE SMUTTY ART IS TOP-TIER , MAN!!! shit, i’m horny. loving this development.

i’m so, soooo fucking turned on right now, man… it’s low-key scary at this point, not gonna lie. i’m such a fucking perv, ugh. anywayyyy, the smut is RIDICULOUSLY sexy, and i’m really, really, reaaaally enjoying these developments! i also quite like their dynamics and their strangely ‘cute’ relationship. (yes, i do realize that this is toxic as fuck. shut up, don’t @ me.) i mean, even though we started out with forced prostitution and all that other SA shit, i was surprised by their respective attitudes and behaviors towards each other. there’s nothing stereotypical about this, and i appreciate that! but yeaaaah, i truly have no idea what i should be expecting to see down the line. i’m sensing an ever slowly-but-steady growing relationship between our two mains—especially since they already seem to have grown kind of attached (?) to each other. ughhh, i just HAVE to express my enthusiasm for the art itself!! fuck, man, it’s just beautiful. pure gorgeousness. i’m really, really liking this manhwa! P.S. i’d never condone SA or abuse of ANY kind, for any reason… but i do genuinely enjoy reading this mess—toxicity and all. however, if you can’t separate dark romantic fiction from actual reality, this story isn’t the one for whoever’s reading this. if i ever encountered a couple with a relationship like theirs in real life, i’d call the cops and run for the hills. IT’S. NOT. REAL. it’s sexually graphic, and pretty damn disturbing at times—especially in the beginning and the first 10 chapters or so. (i’m technically not disturbed by their sex at all anymore. lol. it appears to be both consensual and ‘enjoyable’ for both parties at this point.) still, i’m a psycho on the low. don’t listen to anything i say… unless you’re as morally ambiguous as i am, i guess. k thanks, bye. xoxo
