Do You Still Like Me?

Complete | Shiyan,시옌,Siyen | 2019 released

I FUCKING LOVED THIS THEY WERE SO CUTE Everything about the two suggest maturity and elegance omfg, I also loved the whole pottery and art exhibition setting, it really added to the whole elegant vibe along with their cloaks and suits. I loved how they had the doberman dog, it's such an elegant dog asw, further adds to the whole atmosphere here. Also this being in the UK really makes sense at first I got slightly confused by the narration of their feelings and interactions, I think evth started making sense to me after C15 or sth. Yh i loved the pet, more romances need to include a pet into the narration, it can really add to the relationship dynamic. I just loved how nothing in this was all too that dramatic, some big emotions but that's realistic anyways. I love emotional drama so much, it's way better than creating actual big dramatic events. The knotting scenes were good This is a 5 star on the lower end for me, idk it was really good but normally when I'm reading something, I feel like I get really involved in the story, but with this one it really did feel like a drama so i read it in silence almost, only up until the very end around C45 was I getting riled up. Ig that isn't a criticism but that's why it's a lower 5 star in my eyes

FUCK I RELATE TO JINHYEONG AS A CHARACTER QUITE A LOT, anyways this story is so fucking cute, dare I say it's better than No Home but tbh I haven't read No Home in ages so idk they're both up there though. Damn I love slice of life so much, the characters in here are all so relatable to an extent because of the realistic personalities and thoughts they have, just all the interactions as well all seem natural. Their relationship doesn't seem perfect, but their communication skills are really great. I loved seeing jinhyeongs character development so much and watching him grow more comfortable with what he wants for himself. So sosososos fucking funny at the start, thought it was really sad when we saw his backstory I can't even hate rik tho like I love everyone in t this story, even that dubious incestuous red he'd he's such a loser he's so cute, everyone in this is adorable ugh. Besides that the pace of the story is rly nice, I don't feel that anth gets dragged, I love the storytelling and all the characters, feels like the author rly likes every character of theirs. edit: this isn't better than no home, I was gonna say it was better because of their realistic character profiles, but when we got jinhyeong's sad backstory I fear it was too dramatic for it to be realistic, this isn't criticism tho bc I still really enjoyed those chapters it made me feel like sobbing multiple times. It just meant it wasn't on the same level as No Home because No Home's backstories are more realistic imo.

Punch Drunk Love

Complete | Moscareto , 모스카레토, okdong | 2019 released

i cant exolain why its not five stars in my head, it's super fucking cute though, maybe thats why it felt somewhat nonsensical to me at times, particularly seonwoo's character. Tae Moo is defo my fave he feels super realistic in terms of his thought processes, i almost relate to him. i love how the story goes about explaining their different opinions on matters, and how their relationship develops, though tbh in quite a short time which is what i found unrealsitic. i like how smut is present in this but not a main focus, almost more of an aid for the plot in terms of comedy too. dont rly like the arc where seon woo gets involved with tae moos father bc its kind of silly, but cute anyways. super cute couple, super cute office romance, funny that got me bursting out laughing a couple times, love how depraved his character is lol. a very very very high 4/5 , i love moscareto's works like gosh she has like a really unique twist to the normal romance kind of

Sparkling Baby

Ongoing | Zec | 2023 released

I FUCKING LOVE THIS AUTHOR SHE JUST WRITES DIALOGUE IN SUCH A BLUNT YET NATURAL MANNER, THE DIALOGUE JUST FEELS BOLD AND HONEST IN SUCH A REALISTIC YET NOT FORCED MANNER, SO MUCH TENSION CNA BE BUILT IN SUCH FEW WORDS AND IT'S NOT EVEN LIKE HER ART'S EXTREMELY EXPRESSIVE IT'S JUST GENUINELY GOOD WRITING AND PACING. I love these characters their dynamic is so fucking mutual like idk how to describe it but it just feels equal I am SO GLAD hanjun ended up chasing yujin and it wasn;t the other way round, I love they were selfish at some point in terms of getting the one they want but when it came down to the actual chasing they were each respectful to each other somehow without being too much. BOLD AND EMBRAVENED is a phrase I kept using on so many panels of yujin when he was the one doing the chasing because if he hadn't put himself out there for hanjoon to end up wanting it just wouldn't have succeeded because hanjoon needed that extra push and I love how now you know he doesn't think of taeha, not once does he mention that 'someone he knows' now. Story writing 100000/5 romance 5/5 dialogue 1000000000/5 pacing 1000/5 characters 10000/5. Can i say I just love this author's dialogue like I literally love it so much yh. I'm so convinced I have to reread lover boy now bc I just don't remember anth, it's been 4 yrs since I finished that story, but I'm confident I'll love the characters too because every character this author writes about is complex in such a simple and realistic manner. May this author keep producing these beautiful stories.
