Jiwoo's Master | Jealov

Ongoing | 자중 | 2022 released

This story is BDSM-centered and everything that I usually don't read. Something about the cover caught my attention and it is surprisingly captivating. The majority of the plot consists of smut, but there are some backstories that are slowly developing. However, there are mental health issues being portrayed in this, so huge trigger warning for self-harm.

Ao no Flag

Complete | Kaito | 2000 released

Such a beautiful story about love and friendship. It focuses on the complex relationship between friends and how feelings may develop as a result of said relationship. This manga is really a story that is "coming of age", and such an important piece that everyone should read. It focuses on the differences between people, but also highlights that differences and change aren't bad. Those things makes us who we are. I really enjoyed this a lot, and would recommend to anyone.

Hate Me

Complete | Eunha,Seolange | 2019 released

This is a very cute story about discovering love and navigating those feelings. It has a slight misunderstanding-trope, but it is done in such an adorable way. The plot manages to develop in a nice way, and the ending didn't seem rushed or anything. The characters themselves were also very likeable.

Guilty Affection

Complete | Chelliace | 2019 released

This story has a very interesting concept--the espers and guides--and was really intriguing. The element of suspense is everything, and I really like how the story and the plot slowly comes together. As a reader, you get everything revealed alongside the MC, which I personally enjoyed. However, while it explores important themes--oppression, dehumanisation and codependency--the ending was abrupt and rushed. I don't think it's actually finished.

Koi wo Suru Tsumori wa Nakatta

Complete | SUZUMARU Minta | 2019 released

A story about unexpectedly falling in love. There are good parts and bad parts about this story. The age gap is done in a nice way, and while it shows the differences in maturity between the characters, it does get a little frustrating. The slight misunderstanding is solely happening because the MC's love interest is too prideful to confess and admit to his love first, which seems a little too ridiculous to me. The art is very beautiful, though.

Taming the Tiger

Complete | 오늘만 사는 형제,brothers without a tomorrow | 2019 released

This story is so beautiful and everything I could ever wish for. The building of the characters' relationship is done in such stunning way. The writing is absolutely majestic, especially with all the season/flower symbolism. The ending and the side story broke me into a million pieces, but that doesn't make this any less perfect. Their love is so tender and warm--a love everyone should strive to have. Beautiful.

The Hounds of Sisyphus

Ongoing | 945 | 2000 released

Dead people on the move, creating chaos and instability. A story with beautiful art and an interesting plot. Guwon is the cutest and most unpredictable character ever. I'm enjoying this very much so far, and I can't wait to see where this story is going. Waiting for updates.

Love Me Better Than

Ongoing | Multee,물티 | 2022 released

A friends to lovers story where they both liked each other from the beginning. This is story is very fast paced and the smut kind of happened out of nowhere. 90% of this story is smut, so if you want a quick read with little to no plot, then this is for you. I really want more chapters where the relationship develops more. Fingers crossed.

Shinsujeon

Complete | 마왕 | 2000 released

This is a such a wonderful story with historic and supernatural elements that get explored really well. The plot is interesting with no unnecessary misunderstandings or conflict, and the characters each have their own likeable traits. I adore the main couple and how heathy their dynamic is. The side couple really grew on me as I read the story, and I really want the best for them.

The Curse of Christmas

Complete | Kinoko | 2022 released

The MC's boyfriend has a secret: he turns into a monster during Christmas. This is both wholesome and smutty as hell. The plot is not rushed, or leaves any big questions in the end, though it may surprise some people if they go in blind. This is a short story that works.
