Lucky Paradise

Complete | Kang neuk | 2019 released

A story about toxic love and letting go of people who don't want the best for you. It addresses the process of accepting and letting go of someone you hold dear to your heart. It really tugs on your heartstrings, especially when you see how people pleasing and neglecting yourself becomes such a big part of the characters and plot.

Touch Up

Complete | Bin,Guwol | 2022 released

A story about healing. In every sense of the word. It also depicts the aspect of abandonment and trust issues quite well. The beginning of the story was so good, but I slowly lost interest as the whole thing continued. It felt like every plotline was rushed in order for a new one to start. This had a lot of potential, but was executed poorly in my opinion.

Unfinished Business

Complete | Ant studio | 2022 released

This is fucked up, but it depicts obsession and toxicity so well. This is not for everyone, so proceed with caution. The suspension and all the secrets, that slowly get brought to light, made this even better. To me, this is not romantic at all, and I won't view it as such. But it is a good psychological yaoi where the plot gets wrapped up nicely.

Only Need to Love Once

Complete | 你好好好菌 | 2019 released

This is such an impactful story. For those people, including myself, who struggle/struggled to accept themselves and their sexuality, this is for you. This may be a one shot, but it tugs at your heartstrings in a beautiful and painful way. It does contain homophobia and slurs, so please proceed with caution if that triggers you.

December

Complete | samk,merig | 2021 released

This story is centred around overcoming one's past, and how to heal while also letting go of any prejudice. The plot seemed so interesting at the beginning, and the build-up between the characters so done in a nice way. The execution, however, was done poorly, and the ending was incredibly rushed. The plot lines don't get their respective ending. They lack detail and further development.

Shutline

Ongoing | Kyo Woo | 2000 released

As such an interesting story with complex characters and relationships. The plot remains interesting and detailed, and the element of suspense keeps the readers on their toes. I love dynamics between all the characters, and the pacing and progression of the plot is great. Would recommend!

Even If You Don't Love Me

Complete | Pando | 2000 released

I don't understand why this story has good ratings. I dropped this one after 40 chapters, which proved to be 40 chapters too much. This is essentially nothing more than violence, abuse and miscommunication. I tried to give a chance because good psychological/horror stories do exists, but this is straight up bad. Would not recommend.

Waterside Night

Complete | Euja,으자 | 2019 released

This story is heartbreaking. There are so many awful things and aspects to this story. The characters are extremely complex, filled with flaws and room for improvement, but everything is beautifully written. The story deals with trauma and the rebuilding of relationships so well. It was heartbreaking, but so worth it.

PASSION

Ongoing | Yuji ,Havana | 2000 released

This seemed interesting from the beginning, but the story is extremely slow-paced and doesn't need to have 100+ chapters. It had moments that kept me slightly intrigued, but I felt more annoyed than anything else when reading this. Some people like it, some find it boring. It's all a matter of preference.

Keep a Dog

Complete | Bulgamja | 2019 released

Very fucked and certainly not for everyone. It ends rather abruptly, and doesn't really give much room for a plot to develop.
