My Lord, the Wolf Queen
this was… surprisingly dark and complex. and i really liked it! the art was beautiful and the story progression itself was pretty alright, too. would i have liked to see more details in the more emotional aspect of things? yes, i would’ve. however, this has still been a good read—one i’d consider rereading at some point, at that. so, with that being said, who knows? honestly, i can’t tell whether it’s truly finished or not. i felt that the ‘ending’ was a bit rushed, but other than that, it kept me interested! i’m hoping for a couple of bonus chapters, too! or an epilogue, if nothing else.
I Got Married To A Villain
goddamn, i completely forgot about this one. i’m happy it’s back, though! edit post-completion: well, it’s been a pretty sweet book! predictable, but sweet nonetheless. there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it, though… however, a fairly decent read. ;)
Undercover Partners
I am OBSESSED with this comic. So much so that I ended up reading it twice within the course of six weeks—long before it could even be marked as finished! Definitely one of my favorite yaoi manhwas to date. Not only is the smut RIDICULOUSLY good, but the dynamic between the characters and their loyalty to each other was really quite wholesome. It’s simply great! The story actually quite surprised me. I never expected we’d be introduced to a second duo, nor that I’d end up liking them just as much as our OG couple! If not more than those two, honestly And the third—and last—season truly was the cherry on top for me. Loved seeing our babies happy and ambitious and sweet and cooperative with each other. The best of both worlds, really! (Side-note #1: Kangha and Kyuho fucking OWN me, shiet... Side note #2: For your information, so does Gunhyung and Seunguhn. Don’t know why I felt the need to say that.) I made a few minor notes while reading this, and I thought I’d post them here ‘cause why the hell not, lol. Wouldn’t say it’s remarkable work, but at least it’s authentic. They’re cute! “i’m ridiculously excited for the third season. i can’t deal. this’ll be great!” “edit: just finished reading 146 and i’m SQUEALING!!! fucking finally, i’m so excited!” “edit #2: this is just all wholesomeness at this point. i’m pretty much swooning every other chapter. <33” “edit #3: but yes, the smut is STILL top tier. fucking hell, lol. this ain’t good for my underwear.” Haha. Thought it was kinda funny, so there ya go!!! But anyway, I genuinely loved this. Didn’t expect I would initially, but it’s always a nice surprise when the tides turn! Will probably reread it again at some point, too. (No a lot of room for doubt in that regard, really.)
Ways of Parting
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!!!
The Investigator of Mueller
i am OBSESSED with this. love the gothic vibes. i’m looking forward to any eventual bonus chapters in the future!!!
At the End of the Road
This being the very first shounen ai comic I read, I had little to no idea what to expect. Now I think it’s fairly easy for me to admit my obsession with this story, lol. It opened up a whole new world for me! At this point in time, I’ve read “At the End of the Road” three times. In less than three weeks, no less... Seriously. #noregretstho Despite this manhwa having received a couple of negative reviews on here—albeit most of them ARE positive, naturally—I still consider it to be one of my absolute favorites. This has become my go-to read whenever I feel... nostalgic, kind of?? Or whenever I hear a song I’ve previously associated it with, I think about Woojin and Taemin and start smiling like some kind of a crazy motherfucker, lol. Can’t help it. I love these two. Either way, I’m really excited to see what Haribo’s planning regarding (possible) future stories! I’d probably read anything of his at this point. Yuuuup. (edit: i’ve been following ‘mad dog’ since its initial release back in june of 2021, and dude, it’s fucking INCREDIBLE. so fucking great, man… this guy knows what he’s doing. i just adore his work!!! season one was wrapped up nicely back in early february of 2022, so now i’m simply awaiting the release of season two! enthusiastically awaiting, that is. heh. it’s going to be epic, i already know it.) - — - — - — - — - Soooo, I’m just about to read this manhwa again… for the sixth time. Just letting y’all know, lol. #march2022 #stillobsessed #noregrets2.0
The Tyrant’s Guardian is an Evil Witch

I Want to Be You, Just For A Day Webtoon
this is amazing! i just wish the translations were of better quality, but it is what it is. i could just wait for the chapters to be released on webtoon, but i’m not exactly known for my patience, lol. perhaps i’ll do that, anyway! great quality content for free. ;)
