pluviophiliac's manga / #precious as hell(687)

it’s an alright story! definitely wish there’d be a better sense of… emotional depth, though, if you know what i mean? it might just be me, but it feels like some of these romantic ‘agendas’ (not relationships) feel kinda forced at times. it’s becoming even more prominent since there are, in fact, multiple love interest for our female lead. (yes, i’m perfectly aware of the fact that we only have ONE male lead and he’s the one FL’s gonna end up with. it’s been painfully obvious from LITERALLY the very first chapter.) hmmm. well, overall, it’d seem as though i’m still contemplating at this point. however, i’ll most certainly stick around nonetheless!!! well, for now, at least. like i said, it’s not a bad story! i AM, as a matter of fact, enjoying myself just fine at the moment. ;) edit: i’m raising this to 5 stars ‘cause i’m now fully enthralled, lololol.

man, what a refreshing plot! incredibly unique, complex and memorable characters, too. rubiana’s one awesome, androgynous powerhouse, while our homeboy louie’s just your typical frail, beautiful female lead in a man’s body, lololol. <33 i’m completely obsessed with these two as a couple, they’re such a great match. you really never know what to expect, that’s for sure! i absolutely LOVE how this manhwa’s full-on crushing stereotypes with this well-written role-reversal. a cliché that isn’t cliché at all! and, despite what i might (or might NOT) have said that might sound negative or discouraging thus far, the author has managed to keep their personalities and characteristics consistent and realistic throughout the story—meaning my interest is being piqued 24/7. there are no behavioral inconsistencies or unrealistic world-building—at least in the realm of emotion, appearances and psychology. it all makes perfect sense! role-reversal or not, rubiana’s clearly still an admirable, strong female lead while louimonde’s a traumatized, lovable male lead. so, so attractive… their union, i mean. ugh, this couple’s just the best, honestly... i wish them all the best! P.S. all these petty misunderstandings between everyone and everything makes the whole thing so much better and ten times more amusing, lol. i don’t even find ‘the drama’ to be incessant or unnecessary; it’s just good writing. great job, author!!! keep up the good work, please and thank you. <33

man, this one’s getting me all emotional and shieeet. (recent chapters—not the overall story. this manhwa’s all kinds of wholesome and sweet by nature. just FYI.) anyway, this is a non-slow-burning-slow-burn if i ever saw one. ijun and chae-it’s chemistry and ‘vibes’ as a couple… it’s just next level precious, fuck. i love them together. it’s so innocently adorable. PERFECT. MATCH. ughhh, still… the chapters past #70 are just emotionally AGONIZING at this point, fuck…they’re pulling at my heartstrings soooo freakin’ haaaard, bro... ugh, just indulge in each other alreadyyyy. or, i don’t know… maybe you ought to try reenacting the long-lost art of MATURE COMMUNICATION?! goddamn, these idiots… they should’ve been together ages ago. although, i’ll admit that the author’s doing a great job of keeping the readers continuously engaged with the story and its main plot. just binged the whole thing and i’m not ‘bored’ in the least! the main conflict’s making this whole ‘i’m-sacrificing-my-mental-well-being-and-curiosity-to-keep-you-safe’ buildup feel all the more… impactful. either way, doing it this way’ll definitely leave a larger imprint on my quickly declining (albeit revolutionized) mental state of mind, if nothing else. can’t wait for the day when they’ll both just do whatever they want to do. STOP HOLDING BACK, FUCK!! LITERALLY, JUST TALK IT OUT!?? THAT’S ALL YOU NEED TO FUCKING DO, GAAAAAH!!!!!

bro, this is gonna be EPIC. one chapter in and i’m already wheezing, lololol. edit: i CANNOT cope with this awkwardness. my god, i have take mental health breaks every other ten seconds at this point. c’: #sendhelp edit #2: THIS THING IS SERIOUSLY FUCKING HYSTERICAL LMFAOOOO AHAHAHAHA I DON’T KNKW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF edit #3: just casually getting goosebumps every other second because of these two RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING MEN who’re both TOTALLY OBSESSED WITH HYUN!!1!1!!1!1! this lucky bitch… tch. anyway, wanna trade? i’ll take them off your hands if you want. <33

*screams in gay chaos* this shit is so fucking funny i swear

whoaaa, is one’s… pretty damn spectacular, my guy!!! and it’s hilariously funny, too. man, don’t even get me started… they’ve got me wheezing like a pig on steroids a lot of the time, i’m not even kidding. this gorgeousness definitely deserves a place in my top ten, no doubt! i honestly didn’t expect to enjoy it this much (i’ve been saying that a lot lately), but i’m more than pleased—and excited—by such a lovely turn of events! ugh, i’m so obsessed with this story and these goddamn lovable characters. it literally has EVERYTHING i’d ever need in a story. like humor and chemistry and power dynamics and clichés… including the sweetest, most innocent romance possible—with my new two favorite main characters at the center to keep the amazing chemistry flowing! and if that’s not all, yunjo’s constantly exuding big daddy energy in freakin’ WAVES, bro. it’s so fucking attractive i could cry. and i simply adore our power-lady yun, too!!! she’s so relatable and funny and strong and smart and ughhh, i just love her to pieces. they’re perfect together! such a power-couple, goddammit. and hey, let’s not forget about the overall amazing storytelling, emotional depth, outstanding narration and this freakin’ ethereal-looking art which blesses our eyes continuously!!! such high-quality content, seriously. i’m soooo happy i decided to binge this tonight, you guys have no idea. now i can die happy. <3 edit: so… it’s over now. :( it’s a bittersweet feeling. i’m glad they didn’t drag it out and kept the progression steady ‘til the end, but i’m going to miss these guys. overall, this has been such a wonderful journey! don’t really know what else to say at this point, but know that it’s definitely worth the read.

i’m rereading this… and I’M NOT FUCKING READYYYY, Y’ALL!!! DADDYYYY, I’VE MISSED YOUUUU. <33

whoaaa, this is seriously creative! it’s unlike anything i’ve ever read before, so that’s a nice and refreshing change of pace. i’m starting to get really excited for this!!!

the first comic i ever read and it’s still one of my favorites to this very day. ryusaki hayate OWNS me. (head over and read it on webtoon and read it there instead—it’s available for free and in doing so, you also supports the author!)

woooow. this is way better than i expected! honestly, i don’t really know what i was expecting, but i know this wasn’t it, lol. either way, i’m stoked! i’m enjoying every single aspect of this thus far. i can’t wait for noah to find out the truth; it’s going to be epic. also, all this non-sexual sexual tension is KILLING me!!! my god, just fuck already. edit: *currently dying in HORNY!!!* i read the novel, so i already know what’s up… ughhh, it makes the manhwa-experience ten times better. the tension and anticipation is killingggg meeeee… edit #2: it’s over and i don’t know what to do with myself AHHHH. they’ve grown so much. <33 can’t believe is as this, but i love them together, lol. that epilogue was beautiful. (i’m getting emotional now, fuck.) a day will come when i’ll write a more extensive review (i’m guessing i’ll be rereading this again at some point as well), and i’m quite looking forward to that. i’ll give this store justice. no matter how initially toxic and unhealthy their relationship was, they’ve both changed and grown since the beginning, and i’m surprisingly optimistic about their future. also, i hold so much appreciation for the fact that they actually went public with their relationship so quickly…!!! and with, like, zero hesitation at that, haha. it’s so rare to see that in comics featuring modern-day korea—ESPECIALLY with celebrities. i love it, and i’m so happy for them.
