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

Yeonwoo's Innocence

Ongoing | Esol,매트 | 2019 released

i’m not even through chapter one and i already need a mental health break, lol. i can’t cope with awkward situations. HE’S SO ADORABLE, THOUGH. i’m going to love it, for sure! just need some time to process. ;_; this shit gives me anxiety, but i’m low-key a masochist so it’s all good. this boy is the most adorable, precious lil’ bean, y’all. this is quite relatable, actually! edit: this is devastatingly embarrassing. its been 20 minutes and i’m not even past the second chapter. i think i’m dying. c’: edit #2: oh my god, this naive, precious little thing. HOW CAN A PERSON BE THIS INNOCENT??? IT’S KILLING MEEEEE. just realized this around chapter 20, but haesol is giving off major aspie vibes. (which is also relatable, by the way. lol!!) i feel like i’m a mix between yeonwoo and haesol, to be honest. well, in some ways, at least. it’s quite fascinating! edit #3: UGHHH, I SERIOUSLY CAN’TTTT. I KNOW I’M A BROKEN RECORD, BUT HE’S SERIOUSLY TOO ADORABLE FOR THIS WORLD, BYE. edit #4: i should’ve said this earlier, but i really appreciate the fact that the ‘stereotypical gender roles’ have switched with these two. it’s a nice change, and i’m genuinely loving this development! the pacing is great, too. and so realistic!

Seventh Strike

Ongoing | Sonyeon | 2019 released

the story’s finally completed, y’all!! i’ve thoroughly been enjoying myself here. although the story somewhat weirded me out at first, it quickly morphed into wholesomeness, to be honest with you. and a lot sooner than i expected it to at that! still, i must admit that the ending felt a little rushed—some might even use the word ‘incomplete’—but it wasn’t a bad ending at all. i liked it! if the author were to publish another story, i'll definitely be there to check it out!

Ways of Parting

Complete | AMALILLIA | 2019 released

kwon’s directness is rubbing off on joyoon!!! my god, the sense of pride i’m feeling right now is borderline unnatural, lol. i love this manhwa, fuuuuck. edit: i could legit cry right now. i’m so happy for my babies. they deserve the world and nothing less than that. FML edit #2: i could, once again, cry. (like a lil’ bitch.) i missed them so much. - — - — - — - — - soooo, those were the comments i made as i was reading this story!!! (twice, might i add... i read it twice before it was even complete, oof.) but anyway, i’ll give y’all an ACTUAL review now. lol! - — - — - — - — - honestly, this has been an emotional roller-coaster for me. it’s truly been a jumble of anxiety, insecurities, painful memories, self-discovery and eventually acceptance. there was this sense of… i don’t know, a gradually growing serendipitous happiness, too? i don’t know if that even makes sense, but i’ll say it anyway. despite knowing that every instinct was SCREAMING at our completely broken yoon that he wouldn’t be able to ever find it, life pulled through and found a way to make it possible. so, unsurprisingly, i’ve become quite invested in these guys and their strangely sweet (?) relationship. but overall, i found this manhwa incredibly well-written (from an emotional perspective, that is); even though not a lot of exciting ‘events’ happened throughout everything—which was completely fine with me, by the way! nonetheless, i’ve loved being able to witness their growth firsthand! not just as two realistically flawed individuals, but as a yin-yang kind of union as well. and i honestly think that their relationship has matured into something quite pure, sweet and sincere over time. i can basically feel their affection through the screen at this point, lol. and the same could be said for their suffering! i’m not one to cry easily (at least not from things like this), but this one really managed to pull that off. and more than once, at that! anyway. i’ve enjoyed this one! like i said earlier, it’s more of an emotional story than an eventful, exciting one. perhaps it’s not for everyone, but i’d recommend giving it a chance if you don’t mind all the depression and despair before the actual sweetness comes rushing in, heh. bye!!!

Mercenary Enrollment

Ongoing | YC,Rakhyun | 2000 released

four panels in and i’m already hyped. LET’S GOOOO!!! edit: i’m legit shaking from all this excitement and i’m barely seven chapters in. this is INSANE. edit #2: legit sobbing from sheer admiration at this point. i’m on chapter 8. EIGHT!!! what the hell even is this?! seriously, what. wait. who am i. why am i. how am i. (and yes, i purposely didn't use question marks in order to demonstrate just how much this is fucking with my head.) NEW FAVORITE, NEW FAVORITE, NEW FAVORITE. this is, like, solo leveling slash nano machine slash omniscient reader slash white blood level type stuff, bro. i am in complete awe. edit #3: i love how i keep whispering “he’s so cool” quietly to myself at the end of each chapter, then snort afterwards every single time ‘cause what the fuck am i even doing, lol. he’s. so. fucking. COOL. how am i supposed to wait a whole ass week in between updates??? #simp #FML #noregrets

Poison Dragon: The Legend of an Asura

Ongoing | 일 연재,독점 | 2000 released

man, this is good… i’m so, soooo proud of jagang. our boy deserves justice!! WE MUST UNITE AND PROTECT HIM AT ALL COSTS!!! seriously though, it don’t think i’ve ever come across an MC this resolute. it’s crazy admirable, goddamn. either way, things keep getting more and more interesting the further in i get. and i have no idea what to expect from all these characters, either! i’d bet my left pinkie finger it’ll either be something ridiculously epic or thoroughly bone-chilling. i’d say it’s a solid 50/50 chance. mang ryo is ACTUAL filth, though… and i’m borderline obsessed with this paradoxical notion, lololol. talk about a master of deception!i don’t know whether i should laugh or cry, admire or recoil. he’s so fucking scary. the joker of ancient china. i’m not even exaggerating.
