The Voice Next Door

Complete | Ahn Eunjin, SeolockT | 2000 released

I mean, it's alright…. I was expecting more voicing acting bits, but this was more so a story about miscommunication and accepting yourself? This would've been better had they expanded on the latter detail, but this was on the shorter side after all. One good thing we got was role playing? Jokes aside, pretty okay read. It's rare that you see an innocent top. The side characters felt a little redundant as if the author was trying their damn hardest to shove their ship down my throat, though.

Don't Mix Business with Pleasure!

Ongoing | Hodot | 2022 released

I’m just a vain person bc I like the MC’s other hairstyle more LMAO. Anyway, why are they so cute?? i love their dynamic, and i also love when the ml falls first. he’s so whipped for the mc, and the mc is slowly (?) also reciprocating his feelings. the art is *chef’s kiss*, and this is just really funny. the mc is relatable. im a fan of these tropes where the “line between artist and muse gey blurred.” quite the enjoyable, smile-filled read w/ risqué elements.

Don't Pick Up the Soap

Complete | ripe banana,jungkwon | 2000 released

Honestly, I really enjoyed reading this. It was so funny with the (English) names and everything. It was also smutty, so that was an infinite plus. It was very comical, and who doesn't love reading about beefy dudes? It's not anything super substantial that'll stick with you for a while, but it's a entertaining experience.

Save me, will you?

This was definitely an interesting concept, but it does feel unfinished. Smutty, too. I, for one, think both leads are lunatics lmao. It’d’ve been fun to see more of the “nut case” ‘s past. An interesting thought that will probably never be fulfilled.

As you probably already guessed this is messed up. Entirely nonconsensual, and I couldn’t even bring myself to enjoy reading through the sex scenes because of how twisted it all was. It has all. Weird incest. Rape. But it also had an uplifting tune to it when it ended. Not enough to make this a good read though. Had a silly push and pull. Don’t read for your health.

Misunderstood, broke MC who’s a bad actor with a lot of black history x backer/president ML. Somewhat interesting but the MC is a pushover. Update: So this is more cute than I thought! They become a rly healthy, and I appreciate how the ML communicates his feelings with the MC and helps him get over his fear of being abandoned and stuff. The acting elements were light, and I would've liked to see more of it. All loose ends get tied together with a bow on top. Decent read.

Cosmetic Playlover

Ongoing | Sachi narashima | 2019 released

Concept’s pretty interesting. Two beauty assistants. But the conflict was pretty mid. It all could’ve been avoided if some random hadn’t been petty and envious over the MC’s capabilities. The author tried to go for a teasing (?) ML, but they really just made him manipulative imo. Especially at the start because he quite literally raped the MC…. Great art. Smut’s good. Mid story. Not worth the read.

Silky Secrets

Complete | Gazealle | 2019 released

Just hear me out… I quite like this manhwa, and I do have to agree that if you were to have a ratio of the ******* moments to plot elements, the former would greatly outnumber the latter. But! The plot elements that ARE present are very imaginative. It could just be that the translation isn’t shitty, but certain parts really moved me (e.g. the ML/uke’s backstory). It’s become more than just your typical “oh my boss has a dirty secret and wears lingerie” kind of story but one that also covers toxic masculinity and embracing yourself. I mean, c’mon, we’re talking about Korea here. Their couple dynamic is actually so, so sweet (and healthy), and the art is so, so good. I’m personally a big fan of puppy dog tops, so that was a plus… *cough* But that’s besides the point. Of course, the story isn’t perfect. Like wdym there’s some annoying guy who has blackmail material on the ML and is a huge jerk?? A few plot points are a bit cliché (misunderstandings, etc.) , but I don’t think it’s too much of a downside. Good read.

The smut scenes are okay, but even they are not enough to make me like the story all that much. It’s incredibly mediocre. I didn’t feel a thing while reading this. All of it feels a bit messy, disjointed, and hard to enjoy. The characters aren’t that likable either.
