Into The Blue Water

Complete | Geumgi | 2022 released

The best word to describe this story would be sad or unexpected. It is centred around amnesia, tragedies and abandonment. I was sceptical at first, but the plot is ultimately heartbreaking, especially after the truth comes out about the accident, and what the implications actually mean. There's more depth to the plot and characters than I thought. Would recommend.

The First Love of the Sushi Restaurant Owner is a Mermaid

Complete | Whirl | 2022 released

This is such a cute story about getting together and overcoming fears. I didn't know what to expect, seeing as it has a focus on merpeople, but I really like the characters. The seme is so adorable and understanding, while being so respectful of the uke's boundaries. All the consent is sexy as fuck. The slight misunderstanding and conflict are handled well, and I loved that they get their happy ending.

The Third Ending

Complete | Chobom | 2019 released

A story about navigating feelings and relationships. This is such a good story with a very realistic view of coming to term with your feelings, and how your actions and words have consequences. None of the characters are perfect, but their relationship is healthy with space for communication and understanding. I enjoyed it a lot.

Love Gym

Complete | Mu Handae | 2022 released

A very cute story about falling in love. It isn't anything special or new, but the relationship is healthy with good communication. The plot is okay, but I think some aspects could have gotten explored a little more, and the ending seems rushed to me. I want to see more of the uke and seme's life, as they are living together and planning the wedding.

Decision

Complete | Lee-oh, wnb hair | 2000 released

A story about an assassin who fails to kill one of his targets, and sleeps with him instead. This is such an interesting plotline, and I desperately want more chapters. It could have been so interesting see how the assassin would get closer to his target with the intention to kill him, but then ends up falling in love instead. It has the enemy to lovers trope that I like, and the dynamic between the uke and seme is really good.

Lucky Letter

Complete | Natayung | 2022 released

A story centred around the aspect of grief and losing the love of your life. This short story manages to convey the conflicted feelings of the characters, while also handling the subject of death, immortality and a second chance in a beautiful way. The shows the pain and process of acceptance and letting go. It shows how the MC slowly realises that grief and life does get better and that having a support system is a must.

Dead man Switch

Complete | Coinmint , Eise | 2019 released

A story focused on a timeless nightmare. This is one of those stories you have to read without any prior knowledge of the plot. As a reader, you get thrown into a nightmare and have put the mysterious piece together in order for things to make sense. This story is great at dealing with suspense, desperation and human nature as things progressively worsen. It tugs at your heartstrings as the plot develops--said plot does have some plot holes, but I still loved this very much.

Cinema Next Door Webtoon

Complete | Gwak jongpil | 2000 released

A story about falling in love and navigating everything that comes with that--the new emotions, the possibility of rejection, the nervousness, the miscommunication and making up afterwards. This short story works, the art is pretty and the characters' dynamic is cute and funny at times.

Semantic Error

Complete | Jeosuri,Angy | 2019 released

A story centred around enemies to lovers and opposites attract. This story has fantastic characters and plot progression, leaving the readers intrigued and wanting. I like the realism and the slow burn aspect in the story. It shows how the character change throughout the plot. I will say the ending seems a little sad and rushed, and while I understand the reason for some of the misunderstandings between the characters, it is a little much towards the end.

Keep Holding On

Complete | Com | 2000 released

A very cute story focused on childhood friends to lovers. The plot has a lot of potential, but because it is only ten chapters, it seems rushed to me. This could have been so good if the author had given themselves more chapters to work with. Even so, the art is beautiful and the petty fight between the characters is solved somewhat well. Some things could be better, but it is very enjoyable and pleasant overall.
