It Starts with Isaac

Ongoing | Deodeomi,Gideed | 2022 released

I have a medium kink for this setup of a scenario, but this story honestly does a shit job with it. It's just unappealing tbh. I know what the author wanted to go for but it doesn't work for me. This is just the dumbest, most basic porn plot taken and acting as if it's deep, detailed and good. Which it isn't. XD It's not just the base scenario that is unappealing and causing an issue, it's either the translation or the writing itself. The unofficial was a shitfest that had ZERO to do with the actual dialogue but even the official translation doesn't make sense in the earliest chapters, going back and forth, contradiction what was previously said, etc.. The beginning of the story is lacklusterly written and completely half-assed which immediately makes me uninterested in giving this more of a chance. It's like a movie posting a shitty trailer online; ain't gonna go to the cinema to watch it. I know what the idea was, but the execution didn't work for me at all. This might be a good read for people who do not care about a good setup and intro to a story, just looking for jerk off material, but this doesn't do anything for me other than create annoyance. So I'm out. Sad to see that we finally get a military-type setting and the writing just ruins it. I'm starved for military setups, so this is quite the disappointment. :(

The writing is about what i expect from a smut comic, barely strings a scenario together to get to the fucking. Art isn't appealing either since it's often wonky and inconsistent. And the goddamn trend of using any-resolution-3D 'stocks' for the backgrounds is not helping this whole thing either. Has no appeal to me whatsoever, but maybe it floats your boat. Especially if you're just looking for fap material I suppose. ╮( ̄へ ̄)╭

Wonky ass anatomy nonsense slop.

Paper Flower

Ongoing | Chanlanhan,Original: vang | 2019 released

Don't bother reading this. This is absolute wasted potential. The base story is really interesting, the boy being abused and wanting to leave by any means and the cruel prince that takes an interest in him because he's different. But the plot is entirely ruined by going for literally bloody rape, just 'cause. This could have been SO good if the author had went with a plot that had the ML be intrigued because the boy is so fearless and naive or just boldly speaks what he's asked. But no, we are going the shitty route of rape. Usually I can excuse the use of this shitty, low hanging fruit troop for bad writers. But this was just lazy and unnecessary. Going for an actual story instead of making this a typical smut fuckfest by any means and without care completely ruined it. It was nice for 3 chapters and then went to shit. So I'm not gonna waste my time with this even if the art is decent. I'd rather write my own version of this story than read this and hope for a sliver of better writing or let alone REASON for the ML. Just nope. This is only fap material for people with a questionable version of a rape kink and that ain't for me. So you do you, but I'm out.

Whoever is actually reading this shit because they find this fap-worthy: Please go get therapy, institutionalized or take your meds.

Review: Self-insert fap material, but shitty as a romance story.

The Melancholic Conman

Ongoing | Chaepali , Huhgun , Nanna | 2023 released

This is basically a mutilated version of a detailed novel plot, that's incredibly obvious. But as soon as they throw the random supernatural/fantasy stuff at you, it just becomes more weird, more lackluster and badly planned. It's just a mess. They cut so much info out that was important that it's honestly not pleasant to read. Which is the one thing people shouldn't do if they want to adapt a novel or such into a comic. You have to have a sense of what is needed to give as info and what can be left out. But in this comic someone very clearly didn't know that having a rough script of interesting moments does NOT make for a cohesive and immersive story. And that's a shame. The base story is interesting before it turnes to crap, same with the characters goign from likable to dislikable. I hope this will get a re-do or someone makes a copycat plot that is actually good, but this comic itself is just random, not cohesive and is no fun to read. Mainly because you are basically reading someone's randomly remembered plot retelling, turned into a comic. There is just no flow and no info given, they just hurl things at you and you're left to just deal with that. Not a good read at all. Disappointing on many fronts tbh. And a waste of a really interesting story I would have loved to read in full detail. :(
