crystalvmin's manga / #Yaoi(74)

The art is so good and I really like the plot. For a manhwa that has a plot like this I’m honestly impressed that there only started to be nsfw scenes (excluding making out and rubbing occasionally) at like chapter 40 or so. The tension, either sexual or not, between the main characters are too good and it really made me want to finish the current chapters in one seating (I didn’t but I got to finish in less than 24 hours anyway). I do have some reservations about this manhwa just because it does seem to have themes of sexual assault and rape or in general Jay forcing himself on Yoohan a lot; idk why but the crazy tension and hostility they have towards each other and sometimes comedy brought into the mix kinda lightens up these themes, nonetheless, SA/rape is still evident. The triggering themes are not as extreme as others I have read yet. Not trying to be righteous or be a hypocrite, even though I do find the main characters very attractive along with their crazy tension that just draws you in, there is still clear forcing on oneself upon another. Anyway, will be waiting for an update and I’m curious to see how everything will unfold.

I’m honestly so happy I found this because I find myself short of having buff daddies smut AND the smut is not at all tiring or bland to read so I end up reading all that shit like crack. Despite having such rough sex, the conversation they have before, during, and after is feels really different than normal, it’s like you can’t say for sure that they love each other, but in a way they do care for each other even if it’s all just business. Love bottoms like shingun, feisty, straightforward, and somehow a realist. The plot’s really good too even though I feel like at least 40% of the manhwa includes sex scenes. Anyway, waiting for the next update !

I liked the premise of the plot and it was promising, but there are just things that I didn’t like or were just weird and confusing. For instance, the fact they made Candy an SS agent, but his behavior at the start was not really SS agent material and I think he should have had more training with social skills (like being aware of the expressions he made and being able to suppress it, things like that); But his physicality and combat skills are definitely SS agent level. As for the smut scenes, it wasn’t bad but the thought of Hajun loosening Candy up for 3 freaking seconds and inserting his dick without being lubed up makes me physically cringe. I get not wearing a condom cos other people like that, but strangers shouldn’t really be fking raw. Anyway, the story was not perfect, but it was good enough.

Man this is so bad please I couldn’t force myself to finish it. I’m so sad because buff bottom trope was wasted on pwp and even with being pwp, the sex scenes were not anything outstanding. Duke is delusional about Illic wanting it, therefore, technically committing sexual assault. I wouldn’t really wanna be at the point Illic finds he has feelings for the duke. I get the incest with nobilities, I think that’s true to a certain extent, but incest will definitely not produce pretty human beings. Art is good but not enough to make me stay reading.

You know that the art is good as hell when the smut isn’t as explicit compared to other R-rated BLs (e.g., showing of privates) but it’s still so sexy and sensual. The way their hair falls down, how they all grasp and hold each other, how they touch each other so softly, THE EXPRESSION OF EVERYTHING is just too good. Calling it beautiful art is an understatement. To complement the gorgeous art, the story is also great, interesting, and feels very noir without everything being black and white only. I loved that the author took their time in discussing the stories and backstories of everyone AND who knew we were getting some GL on the side which really made me love everything even more. Furthermore, even with such a plot, they didn’t forget to insert really funny panels as well. You wouldn’t expect it, but it really gave the manhwa more variety. Greatly recommend this !

As always the art is so stunning this author really is the master of portraying sex as the sexiest thing in the world, even without showing too much detail. I also noticed that the author loved using certain colors for certain moments to either highlight or bring color to the panel when it was more or less monotonous, and idk I really liked that. I’m also impressed with how the author managed to smoothly connect the main characters from each story to another main character in a different story; at first I really only thought they’d only be a collection of short stories that were not at all connected to each other. I gotta warn y’all tho about the angst and drama that’s incoming cos goddamn that last story really got me to take a hit in the heart. Enjoyed this a lot !! Also this author literally makes the sexiest women, I want a GL from them too

Honestly this shit was so depressing lmao I was just sighing the whole time I read this because I just pitied the MC so much. I rated it a 3 because by no means do I condone rape, but it is omegaverse so I really can’t do much about that. I just skipped a lot of the smut scenes
