pluviophiliac's manga / #sweeter than poison(510)

this is INSANE. wow. they really did switch places… in every aspect of the word, it’d seem. i’m feeling soooo much for these characters. i just want them both to be happy. please, at least give us that much, author!!! i don’t care how or when, just let them be happy. edit: this is literally just a tragedy at this point. it’s different from anything i’ve ever read in the past… beautifully haunting. and i love all this darkness! still, i do hope there’ll be light at the end of this tunnel. i don’t know how, but i just want them both happy. or at least content with whatever happens… that’d be good enough for me.

this is pure magic. <33 more like dark magic, but magic nonetheless. spectacular!

this shit had me SO. FUCKING. DEPRESSED. it started out weird and their relationship was pretty damn toxic, not gonna lie, but things really changed up eventually and improved over time. i remember liking the ending, too! in the end, it’s a story about mental health and personal growth. can’t recall much about its details or anything like that, but i might actually reread this one day, too.

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.

i haven’t even started yet and i can already tell it’s bound to be a five star, lol. edit: 0.0 whoaaa. this really IS exotic, lololol. or toxic, more like… an odd duo either way. really intriguing thus far!!! edit #2: this is so good, man. i love the ambiguity of it all! as well as the dynamic between the main characters. really, this one’s an enigma to me. so much toxicity… yet i honestly can’t help but wish for them to get together. i just want them to start fresh. however, and whenever, their story ends, all i wish is for them to be happy respectively. or, if i would dare dream of more, i wish for them to make each other happy. maybe that could be a new start. they’d have such a long way to go, though… and this is not something i’d normally want to see, but i feel for these two. really, i do. humans are beautifully flawed creatures… and i love how the creator truly demonstrated that here. this is really, really good. melancholic and depressing, without a doubt, but so fragile and delicate all the same. i never thought i’d say this when i first started out, lol! there are so many complex mental issues they need to work through, seriously—jung jaehan especially. he might be one of the more damaged characters i’ve ever come across in the world of manhwa thus far, lol… which should say a lot. anyway, it seems as though there’s one one chapter left of the main story, so i’m excited to reach its conclusion! and i’ll be even happier to see its continuation. ^^ edit #3: reading the side chapters and my heart is finally dancing. <33 edit #4: …um, i take it back. they’re both preeeetty damn fucked up in the head, seriously. why do they treat each other like this, and WHY do they not seem to hate it? or at they both just… masochists…? this is pretty wack, not gonna lie. still love it, though. (i know… i disgust myself, too.) goddamn it!!! #matchmadeinheaven edit #5: name a more toxic couple than this one. i’ll wait. ugh, seriously… they’re so fucked up, it’s not even funny. they assault, comfort and ruin each other on a near-daily basis, it’d seem. what a mess. this is not a relationship i’d ever recommend or advocate for in real life. NEVER. this is fiction, and it should stay that way. still, it seems to me like they’re FINALLY initiating a true healing process for once... (that’s new, lol.) knowing that they’ll choose to stay together nonetheless, one can only hope that they’ll work on their respective issues and look for solace in each other instead of seeking out doubt and self-destruction all the time. i suspect they’re on the right path, though. i believe in youuuu, ya toxic man-children!!! i’m feeling pretty content now after having read the side story in its entirety… i thoroughly believe they’re going to be okay.️ (P.S. PLEASE NOTE THAT I DON’T EVER WISH TO PROMOTE SEXUAL ASSAULT OR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE. it’s not okay; it’ll never be okay, and i genuinely can’t believe how or why i still like these two together. i suppose they’ll be one of the few exceptions i’ll make when it comes to these things. just… please make note of that before you judge me, heh. i disgust myself, too.)

pretty good stuff!!! wish there’d be better translations, but meh. i’ll binge the official version on tapas once i’ve used up all my available WUF chapters. i imagine i’d be able to enjoy it much more a second time around!

bro, i’m completely ENTHRALLED by this!!! man, that was one great manhwa. loved all three storylines! and each respective ‘black dragon romance’, so to speak. all three ’duos’ had intrinsically different dynamics and a unique atmosphere—each and every one of them very befitting each couple, too. honestly, this one’s been a lot more enjoyable than i originally thought it’d be back when i first started out. surprisingly enough, i’ve actually grown quite attached to most of these guys. this one really got me in my feels at times, too. i have no doubt that i’ll be rereading this one day! honestly, i wouldn’t mind a couple of epilogue chapters to finish things off (‘cause i’m greedy like that), but it’s definitely not necessary for the story to feel complete. i loved the ending, and we absolutely got our closure! (can’t see how or why anyone would ever disagree with that, but you never know, man...) anyway!!! i guess i’m just feeling a bit reluctant to let it go, lol. either way, i’ll be on the outlook for any other possible future stories by these creators! overall, i’m happy and content with what i got. <33

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!
