pluviophiliac's manga / #sweeter than poison(511)

i am wholly enthralled by this.

I. CAN’T. COPE. this is fucking genius, i swear to everything unholy. omfggg. ridiculously clumsy and adorably awkward, but so good still. sheesh… and the SEX, bro!!!!! my vagina needs a break, lol. edit: this manhwa is making me experience all kinds of anxiety. i’ve kinda missed this feeling, heh. this is so freakin’ wholesome!!! incredibly relatable, too. and if that’s not all, the smut is TOP. NOTCH. literally had to go masturbate afterwards (and had to struggle not to do so while reading) because i was thoroughly soaked through. getting kinda wet just recalling it, heh. good thing i’m in the shower, i guess. TMI but #yolo edit #2: this is getting all kinds of fucked up, my god... please, just stop hurting each other. ;_; edit #3: well, this is new. WHAT. A. MESS. a glorious, toxic mess!!! still, i’m kinda happy about this journey, not gonna lie. at least they’re finally giving it a ‘real chance’ for once, despite everything that’s happened… and i hope that they’ll be able to find different ways to make each other better people, truly. (i honestly think they will.) i’m rooting for you guys! edit #4: a couple of epilogue parts later, and i’m growing more and more enthusiastic about them as a couple by the chapter! i love them, and they both deserve the world. our babies are healing. <3 edit #5: THE. SMUT. IS. FUCK. ING. UN. REAL. holy shit, man!!! haven’t felt so turned on in my life, omfg. (that’s an exaggeration, but still)

HAHAHAHAH, this doctor is wildin’!!! i’m so here for it. edit: given the title, i expected this to be something sweet and lovey-dovey… what the hell is this, lmao. ;_; don’t get me wrong, i’m thoroughly enjoying it, but HOW THE HELL DOES THIS UROLOGIST STILL HAVE A MEDICAL LICENSE??? christ, he’s seriously wild. hyuk is so innocent and naive, too. i’m almost scared to keep reading… and i’m not even past chapter five yet. shieeeet. i really love their interactions, though. edit #2: this stresses me out like CRAZY!!! edit #3: sighhh… i should’ve expected that plot twist. i guess i kinda did subconsciously in a way, sheesh. edit #4: so, so sweet. i really loved that ending! didn’t expect it to end up being this wholesome. the conclusion is kinda what i expected the story to be like as a whole BEFORE actually reading it, so in a weird way, this feels somewhat nostalgic—even though i literally just started reading this a couple of hours ago. (i don’t even understand my own reasoning, don’t mind me.) either way, i’m pleasantly surprised by the outcome! it’s been a while since i binged a completed story. this was a nice change of pace.

wow. what an incredible redemption story. he’s worked SO. FUCKING. HARD. to do well and to be a better person. oh joong seok has grown so much since we first started out… i’m so freakin’ proud of his accomplishments, and it’s been amazing seeing this slow and gradual progress of his—genuinely. (it truly has been a process, lol.) this man clearly thought so lowly of himself to the point where he couldn’t distinguish his strengths and capabilities from his flaws. in his eyes, he was just plain trash; undeserving of anything even remotely close to atonement or forgiveness. but man, look at how far he’s come!!! i mean, i absolutely DID see his point—he was human scum—but he’s simply not the same person he once was anymore. that much is clear as day! i’m so, so happy that he’s finally come to realize that for himself. what impressed me the most is the fact that he remained the very person deep within his core. you can clearly tell that ‘high school’ oh joong seok is still ‘post-gangster’ oh joong seok, only matured. i suspect that’s what made his achievements so believable to me. ugh, dude!!! all these efforts he’s made to improve himself!!! i just can’t stop myself from hyping over it. this is what true character development is. it’s inspiring, to be honest. and i love him. LOVE LOVE LOVE HIM. i wish i had a friend like him. and this redemption arc of his has been top-fucking-notch in regards to quality and believability. for what it’s worth, i’ve been SO. IMMERSED. in this manhwa ever since i first started reading it back in november. i’ve rarely come across such an incredibly flawed character with this much positive (both achievable and believable) character development. in the beginning, i seriously thought he’d be irredeemable. i really did. he was such a dick! i thought he’d remain a villain ‘til the very end—albeit a villain with a purpose and a slightly improved moral compass, at best. but he’s become a genuinely good person, and that mere fact is moving in itself! obviously, i should’ve given him the benefit of the doubt. i honestly can’t believe it still, lol. the fact that made perfect sense, too!!! that’s the most shocking part of it all to me. i adore, adore, ADORE him. it’s been such a journey. i’ll definitely reread this one of these days. i even stated tearing up at the end! and just like i said earlier, i was unexpectedly moved by his story. the side characters, antagonists and their personal growths have been incredible, too. man, i’m beat. i can’t wait to reread this, seriously. <33

goddamn, that’s spice alright. FUUUUCK.

SO CUTE!!!!! all these supposed ‘adults’ are disgusting, though. ughhh. get help.

bro, this is soooo fucking good. i love the complexity!!!

i love this!!! so damn lovely! a really, really great story. unlike many of these manhwas i read, this one felt a lot more realistic than the usual romance; emotionally, that is. it was a nice (albeit minor) change of pace. excellent character development as well! i’ll be in the lookout for any other graphic novels by these creators in the future.

available on webtoon!!!

i’m rereading and LMFAO, i forgot how wild this one actually is. really interesting dynamics between the main characters. aaaand, i also just realized how weirdly relatable this manhwa is. depression can really fuck someone up; it’ll shut off your empathy and sanity until you’re nothing but an empty shell. on the other hand, your numb brain is simultaneously imploring you act out, just so that you’d feel anything at all. (‘cause anything is apparently better than nothing. well, at least for most individuals, i guess.) fucking hell, if chronic numbness isn’t the story of my life. either way, i’m really, really liking this! now i know why i gave it a five star rating back in february earlier this year, lol. unique characters and emotional complexity wins!
