Big Apple
Ok so, I finished this in 4hrs 45min, I tried reading it a few months ago in tmo but idk if its cause the summary is different in both sites, but I didnt like it at first cause of all the magic stuff and I didnt understand what was going on, I felt like I was just going in blind and the author excpected me to know and get used to what was going on, so I stopped reading it. However once I read it here I understood what was going on cause in the summary it stated it had to do with special abilities/magic, etc so I went there knowing what was happening and that made it easier to read. I didnt love it at first, I mean it was good but just kinda extra with the magic stuff, I felt like it was two different manwhas one of action and the other of bl, however the plot thickened and it started to get even more interesting, I liked their relationship a ton tbh altho it went a bit back and forth and it felt too repetitive the second time, I liked how because of work, johan had this dilemma of wanting to stay with juergen but also wanting to protect him from danger and thats why he decided to break up, overall that whole plot was pretty good and interesting to see from both sides (the epilogue made it way better cause we could see juergen's thought process and actions). It got extremely interesting when johan found out juergen was involved (which we all knew) however him being part of the sia as well was chefs kiss, I thought that was a really nice plot since they both had the reason of being constantly in danger and so thats why they were careful with eachother, so I really liked that juergen understood why johan wanted to break up, because he was in the same line of force as him. But thats not all, the plot went even higher than that, mf juergen being the son of the lord yvonne and being the dragon and shit was super interresting. One thing that I didnt understand was why yvonne wanted to make them both meet and why she said juergen needed johan, like what was the reason and why was she using johan. Anyways the climax was pretty good, not great cause it felt a bit like johan was only regretting it cause he was dying but it was good how he came to resolve his thoughts and feelings. After that it was really just extra, not much to add to the plot, just to the characters. The scenes were good, and overall the whole plot for some reason piqued my interest so much lmao but yeah I'll give it a 4.5/5 cause it was interesting and a nice read. It isnt the best cause plot wise there are way better stories like checkmate, so I would prob realistically give it a 4/5 but 4.5 seems right. :) P.S I dont have much to say about it but I just liked it lol. (another p.s yeah the characters had some inconsistencies personality wise and alos there are some things that instead of answering questions, they just raised more lol some things felt incomplete but overall I still think it was a nice read)
The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
Dawn of the Dragon
Ok so, i got this recommended from tik tok, I wanted to read it cause I had nothing else to read, but I started another one, but I saw it again on my fyp and I think it was cause of the crybaby top thing that I was like ahhh alrighttt ill give it a go ig since I had just finished zero day attack, so anyways, the start oml that was so random and unexpected lmao I fr was like WOW BUDDY buy me dinner first tf, like ong I had gone from reading such good manwhas that didn't revolve around sex to literally seeing everything the second episode lmaooo, and I did feel at first that it was way too rushed and obvious, like him being the mate, it just made me be like, un, how could u not notice baby, like fr cmon everyone knows but u, and the scenes were so fucking rushed like I understood the first part cause he had to regain consciousness but then the time where my boy taehyuk was like, mmm alright sure lets do it, and then seeing the big as mf empire state ass fucking massive ass dick un had he was like, sure, BROTHER WHAT, like its ur first time, there's no fucking way u are taking all that in one go and no way u don't feel any type of pain with that little to no prepping, but still I loved how he loved it lmao, so nice, the scenes were actually really nice all throughout and loved every one of them, mostly the one where he sucks un off altho he didn't have his memories, but there's just so many I liked, like the first time of un altho it was a bit crazy and he knew terms he shouldntve which was weird cause some things he didn't know but others he knew? but anyways that was just the dialogue lmao, but yeah I loved every single scene and the fact that taehyuk had never been with a man before but still enjoyed it so much, prob because of the mate thing but anyways, I found the first part really rushed and like taehyuk just straight up confessed that he had feelings which I understand kinda..? but also not really, like I felt that was just so fast and random and didn't like it and thought it was a bit dumb, altho I loved their dynamic of un being so done with taehyuk and always pushing him away and taehyuk trying to be nice but failingbut I just felt like that didn't last long cause taehyuk suddenly "realized" he had feelings? so yeah idk I didn't like love the story at first altho I did love how funny it was like ong it had me laughing in the first chapter and I just love me some comedic relief in a manwha lmaoo, also, the way taehyuk told un he was lying abt being his mate and then un got mad..? like brother I thought we all knew by now lmao, I thought that was fucking obvious that he lied but sure lmao, the all mighty dragon didn't know and still got sad abt it, but then everything fucking changed AND THATS WHEN IT GOT SO GOOD like omlllllll I kinda knew we were getting some type of Korean dynasty type scene but I didn't know what it would be, and I never thought for some reason that it might've been their actual past life lol idk fucking why but still, I LOVED LOVED LOVED that arc of the story like ong it was so interesting, it made everything make sense, it made everything so complete, it was just EVERYTHING MF EVERYTHING I TELL YA, like the way first of all taehyuk was royalty cause of his brother dethroning the previous king, but then the brother randomly being portrayed as obsessive as fuck towards taehyuk so my boy had to leave, and then there was the dragon, omllll don't even get me started cause wow, such a great story, the way he appeared but then the river died???? so he never got to even know he was a dragon'????? stoppppp stop right there, and then him taking the appearance of a child cause that was what he first saw, and then just him being a sacrifice to the dragon WHEN MY MAN WAS A DRAGON? FUCKING GOLD BTW, but it was so sad to see how he got treated by the villagers, and then my man taehyuk seeing un in the river dying omllll, I really really really loved that arc, like just everything abt it, the way un was so wary of taehyuk like he wasn't even eating and stuff until the thieves showed up and that's when he showed he was a dragon which I thought my boy taehyuk would've had a stronger reaction to that but he then explained he had seen creatures like that altho he didn't know what un was exactly, and then after that it was just the absolute cutest, like the way we see hyo un grow and taehyuk even giving him his name abt being the light that shines like stopppp, I fr loved loved loved loved loved that story so much, and found it so funny when un just wanted to grow and he did randomly, ALSO THE PENDANT OMMMMMGGGGGG THAT MADE ME CRY the way ryo was the pendant taehyuk bought for hyo un???? stoppp that's so cute, and also the first time they did it holy hell that was funny and soooooooooo good ong altho it felt a bit weird still cause I feel like both me and taehyuk himself couldn't process how grown un actually was, cause like I totally understand him, seeing someone grow while basically being the one who raised them and then them confessing their love to u most be a hell of a shock fr, it would be pretty crazy to me, like the ones from rivalry, I totally understand how it must be weird, but still, I really really liked that scene, idk just the top not knowing anything and actually experiencing it for the first time is crazy to me, but it was so good, and then when taehyuk's brother kidnapped him back like stopppp that was so sad, THEN THE DEATH???? MF I CRIED LIKE JUST AAAAAH IT WAS SO FUCKING SAD ITS CRAZY I HATED BUT ALSO LOVED IT, IT WAS SO GOOD BUT GOD DAMN IT HURT, and then just everything else was wow, like the losing the memory, regaining it, OH ALSO THE WEDDING I ALMOST FROGOT THAT WAS SO FUCKING CUTE TOO, but yeah I loved how they regained their memory ALTHO MF TAEHYUK JUST RANDOMLY BECAME A DRAGON LMAO AND I WAS LIKE OH SHIT, IS HE A DRAGON NOW HOLY FUCK LMAO I LAUGHED SO FUCKING HARD IT WAS SO FUCKING FUNNY CAUSE LIKE WHAT LMAO, like I get it was cause of the orb but holy fucked I laughed cause I was NOT expecting that, altho it never got addressed later lmaooo, but yes I loved how after they regained their memory they were both the past and current self and that was crazy, and I loved their relationship, ALSO I thought at first that un calling out "my lord" but then when he gained his memory back he said "sir" I was like oh that's a cool detail, he thought it was some kind of lord but it was actually sir, but then no, I was wrong lmao, but I felt like that could've been a cool detail of him just getting a hazy memory of someone, calling it a name that was wrong and just thinking that was true, but then regaining his memory and being like oh shit it was actually my dear sir type shit, but either way its still good, and the end was great too, like the wedding was really cute, then the random scene which holyyyy that was good I just love how un is obsessed and begs for it lmao and how my man taehyuk talks, which btw my first thought of him was "wow he's got a great body" altho crazy how un was in his blob form and used his arms/tentacles type shit with taehyuk, that was crazy lmao, but my boy reallyyyy had a great body, meanwhile hyo un this mf oml his body was massiveeee wtf, like he indeed was a dragon mf cause holy fuck how can someone be that big, mf was a physioculturist type shit, btw I loved his dragon form, but yeah, only, I feel like I got a bit robbed from the honeymoon, cause I get that the closure was going to a town resembling their past lives but then hyo un randomly got sick and turned into his younger self where he thought he was getting sacrificed, which was random as fuck but then we got the closure with how for the first time, he actually wanted to live cause of taehyuk and them being married in the future, but still, I felt that scene was pretty out of the blue but we got the closure ig, also, the evil ones like the kind/brother and the other dude remembering their past lives was crazyyyy altho I feel like the brother should've gotten a better/good ending cause in that life he was nice and wasn't obsessed and kept his distance, so like, why was he still hated? like I get it but he learned and did actually change cause in the new life he wasn't a threat or a conflict so.... but anyways, yeah, I overall loved this story, I think the first part there me out a bit, but I still liked it, I liked the plot, I liked the characters, the development, the second part was crazy cool, and I just loved how so many things made more sense once we read the past life part, and yeah idk I just really liked this story, I think it was very well done and altho at first it might not met my expectations, the past life thing fr did and it made everything way better, I'm glad I read it, it was really good, and I would def read again, 5/5 realistically 4.7/5 and yeah, I looooved both characters but mostly taehyuk, like my man was so good, i loved how mature, open, adventurous, caring, cute, sexy, he was, like i really really liked him and he's one of my fav bottoms, so yeah, loved this story. :) p.s OMG I FORGOT ABT THE GRIM REAPER LMAO, I FR WAS LIKE, OMG IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER???? AND IT SO TOOK ME BACK TO THE, IT IS HOT AS HELL IN THIS FUNKY ASS HOT ASS ROOM IM IN, IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER, LMAOOOOOOOO, also, loved the sister she was the best and so cute, and I love how everyone agrees that the brother should've gotten a better ending, also the thing jujucat had to put out abt the dragon taking the child form and shit was so peak, like I cant believe people would call that pedophilia or see it weirdly, like yes, he raised him, he is older than him, but brother, mf is a dragon cmon, age doesn't apply there mf cause he literally turns like 400 years and taehyuk is like 30 again so like, age literally makes no sense, PLUS its not like he did it when he was a child nor did he ever have those type of feelings, not even when my man was a teen, it literally was until he was fully grown, which might've seen weird but it was so normal lmao, altho maybe it was weird cause he grew in one night, but like, it was totally fair game, so yeah, still love this story
