cute. <33

pretty cute!

it’s preeeetty wholesome, not gonna lie. they have such a sweet relationship, and i like seeing chloe’s self-esteem continuously improve! however, it’s far from being considered ’great’… based off my standards, at least. i would’ve liked to see more of an emotional buildup. the story’s nice, sure, but not as engaging or fulfilling as it could be. hmmm. in any case, i guess we’ll have to wait and see what i’ll make of this upcoming side story! i hope it’ll be something unexpected. i mean, in all honesty, i doubt it will be… but you never know! if we’re lucky, they’ll bring some last-minute excitement to the table to finish things off. i guess i’ll find out soon enough! :)

so freakin’ sweet. i really like these characters! and the plot, too. (obviously, lol.) it’s new to me and i find it surprisingly entertaining; even though most of the translations are… borderline unreadable, not gonna lie. still here, though!! that should tell you something, i suppose. haha

this was a sweet read! low-key cringey and super frustrating most of the time—all those misunderstandings nearly KILLED me—but everything worked out in the end, so it’s all good. doubt i’ll ever reread this one.

i am wholly enthralled by this.

ughhh, not back to this again… just COMMUNICATE, you imbeciles!!!!!! edit: this is just the best. i love it!!! and the comedic aspects are literal GOLD. edit #2: it’s over. i’ve truly enjoyed reading this—despite all the ups and downs. <33 also, great character development!!! that’s always one of my favorite aspects to any story i read.

quite interesting… i like the whole concept of the jewel eyes with different attributes! it’s new. and estrella’s pretty cool. can’t wait to see her grow up, lol. it’ll definitely be a wild ride!

god, this poor woman. you’ll find happiness and security for sure, mark my words!!! ;–; SPOILER ALERT: i just returned from reading the novel ‘cause i got impatient for updates… and BIITCHHHH, THEY’RE SUCH A GOOD MATCH, OMGGGG!!! i genuinely love them together—even though it took… a good while… for ruby to finally open up. the process was torturous, honestly. but it made the reward all the more sweet! and izek might actually be one of my favorite male leads, like, ever. (which says a whole lot, lol.) honestly, i don’t think i’m the most empathetic person out there. i get attached to things easily, and i get incredibly invested in the stories i read, but i rarely truly empathize with the characters i read about. (and people in general, to be honest.) but bro, this one literally made me tear up. MULTIPLE. FUCKING. TIMES. i don’t think i’ve ever come across a character as broken and empty as she is. it wrecks me to my very core. i’m getting emotional just thinking about it, fml. (hits a little close to home.) there’s soooo many mental health aspects to this story, y’all, and it just makes her identity feel so damn real to me. most of you wouldn’t know this yet (unless you’ve read the novel), but when she breaks… she breaks. words can’t express what i felt as i suffered through those chapters. not only because it was so devastatingly tragic, but also because it was scary relatable. truly heartbreaking. anyway. obviously, things eventually worked out. although i wasn’t able to finish the novel as of right now (unfortunately couldn’t find any english translations past chapter 123), but things are definitely heading in a ‘happier’ direction.

one chapter in and i can already tell… i’m about to be completely amazed, aren’t i? edit: HE’S SO FUCKING COOL!!! what an amazing character he is. i seriously can’t locate even one flaw… but there must be at least one, right? lololol, this is getting interesting. edit #2: … …did i seriously waste 20-25 minutes writing a full-fledged review of this masterpiece on here only to have it DISAPPEAR ON ME???? un-fucking-believable. either way, i don’t have the energy to rewrite everything. just know that it’s spectacular and i’m seriously impressed by the creators. it’s giving me INSANE solo leveling vibes. although i don’t know exactly why; the plots aren’t at all similar to each other. however, i’m guessing it’s because of the insane buildups and climaxes consisting throughout the whole thing. these authors know how to keep their readers engaged, that’s for sure. it might also be the fact that MC is on a whole other level of superiority than his peers in each respective story, lol. either way, solo leveling is my absolute favorite comic there is, so to say that this one is ‘similar-but-not-at-all-similar’ is seriously high praise. you must check it out if you haven’t already! (it has a 9.9/10 rate on here for a reason, you guys.) but anyway!!! to put it simply, this is fucking epic. EPICEPICEPIC. pure epicness. i’ve read some amazingly written martial arts comics lately, but this one is definitely at the top. (if y’all want some OTHER martial arts story recommendations, i recommend checking out that martial arts tag of mine! it has about 100 comics in it as of right now.) sigh. what a day. believe it or not, but this review is actually shorter and way less detailed than my previous one, lol. i’m feeling less eloquent by the minute, y’all!!! have mercy.
