Cozy Obsession
exceeded my expectations omg i was so ready for a dead dove hardcore toxic head empty read but instead we have a mc who stands his ground 10 toes down debugging the ml’s insanity??? And not in a cliche way too no omg i fucking love the mc’s constant communication and reassurance with the ml!! Hes practically the one leading the direction of the relationship and u know what good for them!!! Big Fs for the og book couple they were hopeless LMAO and sure in a way this is all possible since u can still feel huimin’s Strong detachment to the whole entire thing BUT THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO GOODDDD love me rational/detached mcs give me 100 of them… author balances huimin’s head empty/sunshine + affectionate yet detached personality so well RAHH put him in a room with sqq and kdj now LMAO Seeing the way huimin handles everything was extremely satisfying omg i was eating each chapter up. Rash but still very rational and level headed and Knows iheon’s buttons that he shouldnt push. And in turn, iheon’s development in respecting his boundaries was fucking great too!!!! love how u can See iheon realizing all the anxiety and misconceptions he had over the og!huimin! Their flirty banter is fucking adorable too ohhhh im obsessed !!! AND MC HAVING A THERAPY SESSION WHILST ALSO ATTEMPTS TO HEAL AND UNLEARN TRAUMAS??? Author youre everythinf to me thank u so much……….. the sex scene after all the communication feels like a reward oh and the way the trauma was handled + iheon’s reaction to it yeah author dont ever stop cooking!!!!

Eeeeee 10/10 immediately across the boards :3
Work Love Balance
Lots of layers to this that im feeling conflicted about. First, as much as i love them this sequel didnt feel necessary BUT. i do hope it turns into this introspective arc where we get into daehyungs perspective in the relationship compared to yiyoung’s pov. Some swooning and drama from the ml is always very much welcomed! Second. Inhales. @ daehyung, i get where youre coming from but some things are just better left unsaid bc why the Fawk are you tryna manifest some shit in the future that hasnt even come and probably would never happen? Im sure yiyoung Knows what hes getting into when he entered the relationship. i feel sorry for yiyoung bc hearing that as a lover fucking sucks LMAO. “Will the two of us never see the same future?” Yiyoung im so sorry babe Completely understand daehyung’s background and his reasoning bc he went through that when he was young and he loves yiyoung so much to want to do the same if the day comes, but still, read the room man LOL thats the kind of stuff you say in the beginning of a relationship to cover all bases. Heck, maybe when a breakup happens. Not DURING the relationship itselfhdnd Third!!!! Now that ive seen the conflict (which is valid) i sure fucking hope daehyung gets a character development arc where hes more outward with how he feels. Being “too matured” can have its flaws too and his way of showcasing it with the “inevitable breakup” convo is prime example like why are u shooting yourself in the foot why are u planting seeds of doubt in your lover jdjjdj daehyung i beg u dawg go to a therapist and talk this shit out bc surely that long list of (failed, dumped, age gap) relationships left a mark on him lol It really feels like author is building up some sort of breakup arc soon and a potential timeskip where yiyoung Does meet new people and experiences and they reunite later. Idk but oh well if that really happens i hope to god daehyung grovels and be a pathetic pining yearninf lover boy for once bc well u preached about it so u gotta walk the talk now man LMAO we’ve seen enough character growth from yiyoung since the first installment until now (with how much he tries to rationalize his feelings and control his reactions) so i sure do hope we get some daehyung character growth here lmao
No Moral
One of the few works ive read that instantly made me BEG and PRAY they get some sort of adaptation soon PLEASE. Characters are written so well, plot is fucking good, conflict is great, sexual tension is off the roof. Its a page turner for sure!!! Love the overarching theme of “morality has its different hues of black white and gray” and how both seheon and yunshin influence each others way of thinking and simultaneously the way they approach their work. The character development was so satisfying to see especially seheon’s, and i love how his character development isnt too jarring. Hes still snarky lmao reminds me of geonwoo/ahjusshi from dangerous konbini. His rising conflict after seeing yunshin following exactly the way doguk operates and how it made him feel terrible is the cherry on top!!!!!! Wallow in that discomfort and guilt seheon!! His constant anxiety(?) in thinking that yunshin is dating him so that he can resolve his sister’s problem is handled so well too!! Love how whenever he starts getting snarky about invoices and shit hes always met with yunshins sweet doe eyed face going :3? Like my boy is just too good for this world yunshin’s confession is so sweet too and i love how desperate and yearning seheon looks whenever yunshin waves him goodbye xD i love it!!! Please make him wallow in more yearning!! The conflict is so so good too… i love how the romance is in the bg of the story in certain chapters, it carries conflict and romance so well… and the chemistry with both characters are insane and the banters are hilarious LOL seheon really is a deadpan face asshole but all that bark is rlly bc he loves riling up yunshin lmaooo. AHHH my favourite sunshine mc x tsun grumpy ml trope and this story does it justice… i rly have to reread this again once it fully updates its just so damn good and with r18 tls too ahhh easily one of the best bls ive read this year. Give the author their flowers and get this story a fucking kdrama deal STAT
A mail from my dead lover
Okay plot wise its fun, i love horror bl!! And it gave me solid heebie jeebies in the beginning. The characters are good excpet The only gripe i have is the very quick and shallow romance? I love the ml but it rlly does feel like hes only there to move the plot and mc’s character development. He fell for the mc too quickly and the reasoning to help mc was quite? Idk bland? If the romance’s pacing was solid, this would have been an easy 9/10!!!! The horror is getting a bit tired and dragged out im ngl, BUT the mc’s character and back story makes sense for it. Author portrayed mc’s ex thru the eyes of an abused manipulated victim very well. Mc could not bring himself to think of his ex in a negative light after all those years of his ex abusing and isolating him and thats heart breaking. His self esteem is in the gutter and his parents are total shit. Im really glad even though personality wise the ml is bland, he is rlly proactive and efficient in recognizing discrepancies in the mc’s story and is quick to solve things. AND he looks like jungkook from bts girl who am i to complain?????? ALSO Extremely sweet and considerate too!! Thats why his personality lays a jarring light on mc’s ex when he questions it. Its done really well. Mc’s insistence in the ex being a “good” guy despite seeing the ex physically abusing him (until the chair broke!!!) was really telling too. It even made me second guess sometimes too only to remember wait that mf threw a chair at u babes YOU ARE A VICTIM!!! Its so sad to think about thru out those 20 years with his ex he hasnt got to create any sort of connection or friends out of his ex’s circle to the point where he relies on chat sites instead :( poor bub… All in all its an okay story. Psychological aspect of it is good and the horror is not Too scary but enough to feel disturbed. Romance is really cliche at times and bland however. I really hope the resolution to this story is mc getting therapy, realizing how much of a red flag his ex was and living his own life free to do whatever!!!!!!! Hope it doesnt drag too much and ends it swiftly now that we know the solution to the hauntings
Night of the Unmarked
More exorcist/horror/supernatural bl YAYYYYYYYY art is gorgeous panels are beautiful the yearning from mc is beautifully depicted and the dynamic and plot is interesting!!!!!! Thats something ive been realizing with supernatural bl so far; theyre really interesting at first but then something like the couple dynamic/overall exorcist plot that just falls incredibly short and turns a high potential story into something really lackluster (the art of taming a tiger im looking directly at you…) …… i hope this story breaks that curse lol I rlly hope the romance feels fulfilling, so far the sexual tension is really thick but i need to knowwww what the ml is thinking ahhhhh everything just feels so vague and ambiguous, even the plot,, so far i dont really know what the overarching plot is… the whole supernatural/exorcist background plot has been a mystery (and by that extension the ml too) bc of how much mc doesnt want to Know and i get him!! But it really makes the story feel really vague,,, it def makes the plot so far very intriguing tho bc of how much its tangled in with the ml’s story… interesting!! Idk what i want from this story but im intrigued! Def one of those stories that is pivotal to hve a good eng tl or else it will just be a dookie experience. Waiting for solid tls to drop (ch15)
Death Delayed for a Short Time Because of the Will
The shounen yaoi i fucking deserved after all these years THANK YOU GOD this MY magnum opus. The themes the characters the plot the trope the dynamics everything felt like it was crafted for me thank you so much author???? Grief and survivor’s guilt being this overarching theme with the question of “what is justice and is it a death worth fighting for” over the backdrop of a dungeon/hunter world building… im in love!!!!!!!!!! The angst really hits you where it hurt and to see such a lovable mc; yeonsoo, grumble about all the wills hes doing for his passed team mates but still doing it anyway bc thats the only way he can cope through every day life.. it sso fucking devastating. And you Know that his team mates knew he was suicidal over this and they tried to give him the most craziest to do lists still TTT what made me cry even more is the will that said “chew 20 times each time you eat” bc they want him to always eat his meals yeonsoo is really a character build on love bc when u rlly think about it, hes carrying the little traits and hobbies of all his friends, theyre always with him and its both a curse and a blessing its so so heavy hes really trying to do everything hes such a good and kind boy who deserves everything in life and most of all deserves a good fucking rest…. The couple dynamic is so addicting too, the banters and the “only this person knows etc” is so so good….. and the dynamic change of all the characters once they know hes chaeyoon… god i cant wait to know how the story of the great dungeon will be revealed to people bc its so horrific……… the ptsd episode yeonsoo is gonna have is brutal ahhhhhhhh please… please give him a gentle ending TTTT and please love him kindly jihan….. i cant stop cryinf dawhdbbdbdn the comments in batoto rlly makes the reading experience more enjoyable bc everyone is just devasted for yeonsoo its so unfair to see people shit talk “chayeon” and his decision on laying low when they dont even know how the great dungeon went down inside.. the consequence of noone telling the tale,, and instead of leaving the guy alone, ppl still seek for him to push him back into the dungeons its just so frustrating like seriously whats the point in justice!!!! Fawk!!!! TTTTTT The og tl title makes so much sense now too “mission: save the hunter” like my guy is thisclose to just ending it all and yknow what i get him!!!!!!!!!
