I Became the Squirrel That Saves the Villain

Ongoing | Byeolbyulto | 2022 released

It's just right... They do everything right! Like this is so cute!! I like that the MC and ML are both likeable... I like me a kind ML. I thought he would be like those calculating and weirdly possessive MLs who looks like a flower. But that's not the case... He looks so gentle and beautiful.. I love it. The squirrel plotline.. I didn't think we would explore that.. So the temple has been taking children from the Medest family and experimenting on them giving them the identity of 'divine beasts'. And most of all to people who lacked magic so that they won't be able to undergo a human transformation. I mean it is so blatant that she is the missing second daughter. The Duke will be found soon as well I bet. I like that this manhwa cuts right to the chase.. No BS.. Also the art style is very clean and elegant.

Love is an Illusion! - Superstar

Ongoing | Fargo | 2022 released

Awwww Byul's going through puberty.. But ngl it hurts my heart when he thinks whether Hyesung found it embarrassing to have another child at his age? Like I know that's normal but still... Also Dojin keeping it a secret from HS that he's financially supporting his mom got me feeling iffy. I don't like Byul's character too much rn. He's just as gullible as his mom tho. Maybe it's because I watched him grow up being so sweet that him being a moody teenager kinda... Idk it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The ML and HS also has a history together so super interesting... I wonder how they fell off.

Trapped in a Soap Opera

Ongoing | Kim salgu, kang noh | 2022 released

Adorable! I like the art style.. It's for the best that Rowoon is the ML. The fiance although nice is too typical for me and the yandere guy is a huge no no... It truly seems that he is indeed the best choice... I like the MC and the response she gave for cancelling her engagement "Uh, because I felt like it" So cool! I love that. The plot isn't worth mentioning I don't think. The og fl is the typical white lotus.. There isn't much to say about her tbh. The yandere guy although amusing is too unhinged... I is scared.. Um also Rowoon is the only one the MC has caught feelings for.. One thing I'm confused about tho is there were three MLs supposedly and they were all in love with og fl but why does the yandere guy seem to be obsessed with Sera (the og) based on MC's recollection?

Obscene Neighbors

Ongoing | Yangnlam | 2022 released

Cute... Amazing... I love this... The brother's best friend.. Also I like that this is both of their first time... I love equality... Also the ML blushes so much as well...

Romance, But Not Romantic

Complete | Damjang,Kim milga | 2022 released

This is so stinking cute!! I like both of them... I like that it focused on them instead of the stalker thing... Also misunderstandings occur but it gets resolved and doesn't get dragged out so that's a win! I also like the female co-worker being an avid shipper. The stalker I thought would be a misdirect but it turned out to be the most suspicious person. I like the way the ML's pheroomones is described.. I want that scent for myself ngl. Also the marking, imprinting and knotting aspect wasn't disgusting and dubious as other BLs so that's good.

Taming the Tiger

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

This is art. This is cinema. This is perfection. Oh my god! I have no words to describe this masterpiece. I thought the main story ended perfectly yet the side stories elevated it to another level. I love Geum ho...I love how tainted he is,how strong he is,how desperate he is,how full of love and how kind he is to Beom. He is so complex,his desperation is what entranced me to him. When he fears Beom would be angry at him,with that helpless look in his eyes asking him to forgive him. I love the scar across his neck, I love his tired eyes,his red eyes...I love how he calls Beom a brat and indulges him. He is so stupidly in love that I can't help but be in love as well. I love his younger brother and Soon together, everyone got their happy ending in this life. Beom is so precious. Best Boi fr. I admire his unconditional love, how he always thinks about and put his feelings into words. The scene where he saw his mama and cried while asking if she were really there and if it was an illusion. The prince is a psycho. He is obsessed with Geum Ho and his ex. About the ex...I don't understand something. His wife is the princess and her older brother is the king yet the prince is from another lineage or what? Are they related? I don't understand. This is so amazing! I love the way they rested in theor past life,under the wisteria flowers where all theory wishes came true. The way Geum Ho was embraced by Beom and they died together. My heart! Geum go being a gangster and wearing that bikini and panties...ugh so hawt!

Wolf Under Sheep's Clothing

Ongoing | Sudal,Vardiba | 2022 released

Piss kink? Seriously? I didn't expect that...unfortunately I'm unfazed to this kind of situation. He even licked it... Does she not drink water? Why is it so yellow? The art style is horrendous. It's all sparkes and the FL is so typical... I hate her design.. Ew.

How the Sidekick Prince Lives Again

Ongoing | Seolmyo, Chorong, Seudyam | 2024 released

Um I thought I already put this on my reading list. Anyways I read ahead a little bit so I know some lore ig you could say. So I'm a bit disappointed that they left out so many nuances and subtlety that could enrich the experience and story itself but ig that makes sense since you would want to condense it. The MC being a beta would be unable to get pregnant but I think I saw a spoiler where they said that he eventually got pregnant. The ML is top tier. I love him...He is just amazing. I like his character design as well. The deal with his noona being wary of him hurts my heart but at least he has MC now so...about the story..there isn't much to say but the one who bullied him...I liked that he actually liked the MC all along and even wanted to marry him but his surrounding etc etc didn't allow that so he was affected therefore turning into this warped love.

The Way That Knight Lives As a Lady

Ongoing | Sung Hyerim,Seong hye-rim,Seong Hyeon | 2000 released

I binged all 138 chapters in one go so my mind is clear. The way the story is progressing is disappointing to me. Luci assuming her new identity was a let down, I feel they didn't execute that properly not to mention her character is becoming stale. Zed is a good ML for sure, he's a rock..steady,constant,safe....he's exactly what Luci needs. Luci figuring out that she had been ignorant to the corruption of her King and was instead the reason for the people's suffering and the downfall of the kingdom she sought to protect was spectacular. Yet what followed after that was so anti-climactic...The reunion with her comrade in arms was done so haphazardly as if the author is just doing fanservice, 'here you go'...that was the vibe and also for Luci to finally be together with Zed without any guilt and gaining closure. It all seems so abrupt,which is wild to say over a comic spanning 138 chapters but yeah. Khalid is the most interesting character...he's the only one that keeps me on my toes. Did he make the wish for Etselle's reincarnation? I was certain of it at first but that doesn't seem to be the case. I like the connection between Estelle and Luci...that explains everything the fact that they are both called Ishtar,albeit for a different reason Luci for her beauty and Estelle for her brilliant silver hair in the battlefield. I like the scene of that Duchess and Luci dancing while Luci lead wearing a gown while the former wore pants.The dialogue was excellent as well, I saw that in a reel I think. The problem I have with this manhwa is regarding Luci's acceptance of her new identity. I thought she would be more anxious about becoming a lady...she keeps saying she's weak and is insulted when Zed says he'll teach her the way of the sword yet she hasn't made any effort to regain even a quarter of her strength. She did say swordmanship wasn't that easy but sis didn't even try. She just walks and calls it an exercise...I mean yeah that's relatable but it seems more in line with her character to be found everything in her power to be capable of protecting herself, atheist in the first chapters...although now she's all mushy and reliant on Zed. I also feel like the core of her personality changed too much.I wasn't even aware of it but the flashback made me realize that. I love the chemistry between them better then, now it just very typical. The second problem is regarding her friend. The way she saw Luci was so cute and their dynamic was so fun to watch. Her nagging and Luci standing up for her, Her being happy that they're finally friends and that she can be useful to her. All that thrown out the window to highlight the relationship between her and the prince. BTW I don't see any chemistry between them. I kinda hate her character now and I was never fond of the prince in the first place. The way she just blamed Luci for everything wasn't done right and out of character and the way they made up seem so fake. I like that Zed was so angry and confronted the prince right away. But then she was all nervous about the prince and didn't seem apologetic in the slightest. She had so much potential as well. What a shame. Romance take precedence over friendship as always ig.

Futarijime Romantic

Ongoing | Kanisawa Chihiro | 2022 released

Super duper adorable. Can understand why lawm recommended this to me...It is short,conscise and doesn't overstay it's welcome. It did what it needed to do and left. That's a slay honestly. I like their pairing...she's wayy too similar with her first kiss. I am all for a romantic couple but the girl is too much, I like the balance between the two. I like how it's obvious in this manga at least the moment the ML saw her in a different light...when she protected the sand castle and got wet. That was also theor first kiss. I also like that the whole supposed non existent love triangle was resolved before it even happened. Ayano and Haruto are cute as well but I get why she broke up with him. I would too. I am all for a nice guy but yeah no. I wish we could see Takumi's two elder sisters and the MC little brother. Oh well.
