The Thorn That Pierces Me

Ongoing | Masheri,VEX, Piggyback | 2000 released

wowzaaaa. this one was pretty wild, not gonna lie. quite interesting, too! creatively speaking, this was completely new ground for me personally. i loved the characters’ complexities, and i also appreciated the story’s unpredictability in general. at certain points during the story, i honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at calix’s innocence (or ignorance, whatever). it was pretty fucking unbelievable, sheesh. honestly, it almost felt ingenious. well, it was messily ingenious, but i still stand by what i said. it made for something a bit more ‘unique’ in the spectrum of male love interests. i’ve never read anything like this before, that’s for sure. on another note: at certain points during the story, i honestly didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at calix’s innocence (or ignorance, whatever). it was pretty fucking unbelievable, sheesh. honestly, it almost felt ingenious. well, it was messily ingenious, but i still stand by what i said. it made for something a bit more ‘unique’ in the spectrum of male love interests. i’ve never read anything like this before, that’s for sure. by the time the story was about to conclude, i was still excitedly awaiting new updates. (i didn’t realize that the end was nigh… sigh.) things started to pick up the pace again; albeit i’ll say it might’ve been a bit late, knowing what i know now. still, this manhwa ended up being waaaay different from my expectations, but it’s definitely a good thing! it was great. i’ll admit, i was somewhat confused by the ending. it was quick… and definitely open for interpretation. i don’t know if i should be expecting an epilogue, any bonus chapters or possible side stories, but i think i’d be pretty content either way. there are definitely way worse endings out there. at least they all seemed relatively pleased with how things ended up, and that’s really the only thing that matters! it was bittersweet. :)

i’ve merely seen some of the photos and i’m already fucking dripping, y’all. this ain’t fair. I’M BUSY!!! edit: OH MY GOD, I LOVE THEM BOTH. well, at least i do now. they were really being weird with each other in the beginning, lol. now i love the dynamics!!! and the confidence of our main man, y’all… i quite admire his boldness, ngl. i’m looking forward to this! edit #2: it’s settled. doyoon is officially my king. or a queen—whichever fits. my god, i love him so much. (even though he’s low-key a sex addict, heh.) go off, boy!!! i like his style. edit #3: this thing was SO. FUCKING. GOOD. i guess we’ll be moving on from doyoon and hanseok now... season three’s definitely off to a good start, though!!! once again, i’m super excited. ^^ edit #4: AHHHH, IT’S KINDA STRESSING ME OUT, THO!!!! i’m loving these dynamics and i find the story itself pretty unpredictable, but my GOD, it’s good. i hope they become regular sex partners. that’d be so hot. (well, as long as it’s consensual, that is.) i’m STILL excited!!! edit #5: bro, my pulse as i’m reading this shit… it’s been awhile since i read something as arousing as this, what in the holy hell, lmao. it’s fucking ridiculous at this point. I. WANT. ALL. OF. IT. chakyeong can tie me up and step on me (i beg) while woojin fucks me up all night, every night, ‘til i die. (please and thank you.

19 Days

Ongoing | Old Xian | 2014 released

HAHAHAHAH, this is amazing!!! each and every single one of these four is a complete menace, lol. so entertaining. why didn’t i check this out earlier, though? sheesh. i’m pretty sure this comic has both noblesse and solo leveling beat in terms of screenshots. just so much comedy and depth went into the creation of this. i’m in love. <33 edit: these boys must be protected AT. ALL COSTS. they deserve the world.

Darling for dessert

Complete | 12 | 2000 released

man, this one’s required a lot of mental health breaks in order for me to stay sane… first of all, the smut is TOP. NOTCH. ridiculously hot. second of all, this green-haired fucker… this guy is a whole new level of fucked up. HE’S CLEARLY SICK IN THAT GREEN HEAD OF HIS!!! my god, i don’t know if i’ve ever been this disgusted by a character before, it’s ridiculous. i’m not usually an advocate for murder, but honestly, please just end his miserable existence already. my patience’s running thin with this one. anyway. to keep the remainder of this review somewhat brief: i loved the story!!! i enjoyed the overall development and appreciated the characters’ growth throughout. did i think their relationship was 100% healthy? no, but they grew on me surprisingly quickly. was i mostly there for the smut? absolutely, but i did like the couple, too. will i ever read this again? probably. if i’m ever feeling particularly horny, that is. (maybe.) great stuff to get someone’s juices flowing, though. heh! i think these two grew into a pretty wholesome duo, though, ngl. (despite how different their ‘dynamic’ felt during the smutty chapters.) they were super sweet together! i ship it. and either way, i liked the outcome! :)

soooo much better than i’d anticipated. i’ve been laughing my ass off all morning, so thank you for that, dear creator!!! don’t really know what else to say (my mind’s kinda blank), but i’m 100% enjoying myself. just overall entertaining, surpassingly amazing dynamics! these guys are so different from each other, lol. a perfect match. can’t wait to read moooore!!!
