The Father and the Daughter

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I'll make it short, so you don't waste as much time as I did reading this: - the MC is heavily dislikable and quite frankly stupid from chapter 1 already (feels often very Mary Sue-ish tbh) - the writing is nothing special and does a bad job many times - the shittily used trope of the mentally ill father is, yet again, seemingly only used to make him the hate-able male figure - the pace is odd - the character logic idiotic more often than not (also from the very start) - some stuff is not quite making sense (not sure if that is due to this being based on a novel and comic adaptors just cutting stuff away as they please) I honestly couldn't care less about this and the MC alone is reason enough for me to heavily dislike this. She's got no appeal other than being drawn pretty. That's literally it. And that's just not a good basis for a story. Give it a try. If you have seen these types of plots before, you are likely not gonna see anything new. If you haven't and you don't mind the issues I found or have lower standards than me in some of these things, you might find this enjoyable to read. it depends on the person.

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.

Knights Entwined

Complete | Dodo | 2022 released

Classic porn logic tbh and I am GLAD it is. Because unlike so many smut fuckfest comics, at least this one doesn't pretend to have more story than it truly has to offer. It knows what it is (fap material for the kinky), works with it and then gives a pleasant ending. Quick, simple, on point and not overdoing any aspect of itself. Well done, oddly enough. Did not expect that I'd ever see an actual GOOD smut comic that's simply a porn comic in every way. Gotta mark that one in my calendar. XD

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

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. :(

How to Snag an Alpha

Complete | kimnyeong | 2019 released

The art AND writing feels lackluster, rushed, random and honestly like a young teen wrote it. The romance is rushed and random, weird really. And the art is mid and very inconsistent. The base story is interesting, especially since the ML isn't your typical rapey jackass Alpha (yet), but I honestly cannot feel immersed in this. I keep loosing interest AS I read. Mainly because the MC has such an utterly obnoxious literal toddler type behavior, ALL THE TIME. XD Probably a real good read for younger people, but not for mature readers with sense of quality, pacing and whatnot. ________________ This story really is an odd mix of sweet romance and obnoxious toddler-adult MC cringe. Which is why it's so hard to commit to reading OR dropping. Because one aspect is really making me want to see the romance, but the other (the literal toddler-type MC personality) really makes me just fed up because he is extremely unappealing to me. Having this odd mix is a first and it's honestly impressive to see. That might just be a talent in and of itself; mangaing to have people be torn inbetween decisions. Kudos to the writer for that. XD But the writing is decent and the comedic moments are great. Which is why I think this could make for a great adio drama or even an anime! The writing is honestly very cringey at times tho. Like that absolute wtf moment which I hope was a mistranslation or made up one at the early chapters: If you can cum it's love. And that wasn't even said as a joke in the moment. WTF? That threw me off into another zipcode. (⊙ ▽⊙ ) I honestly don't know what to say about this as it's such an inbetween thing for me. It's neither fully likable nor dislikable. Which is a first honestly. But I think if people, for some reason, like the MC acting like a literal child 24/7 and want to see their romance and drama unfold, this is likely an absolute amazing read. I for one really do not like the MCs personality tho, so I cannot fully enjoy it.
