(I just know this request has just triggered PrettyMenSupremacy to drop a loooongggg essay)
So idk if yall know but there's this zombie apocalypse Bl novel/manhwa yall should really read by the name of "rainbow city and basically
a company had decided to release a virus to sell vaccines Turing everybody into a zombie. The virus started to mutate this rendering the vaccine useless and the world was declared for a state of emergency. As nations fell they banded together in over to stop the spread of the vaccine, creating what is the main setting of the story “rainbow city” in Seoul Korea which was a city mainly controlled by the government split into seven sections to meamsure the zombie or “Adam” rate, with green being the safest and red being the most dangerous as well as military bases to to train and raise soldiers and hiring researchers in order to develop newer vaccines, but the problem was that the virus kept mutating and have already mutated 7 times rendering all the vaccines useless and the story goes from there. The only place unaffected by the virus was JeJu Island which is where the protagonist, Dr.SeokHwa, came from. A 34 year old poker faced genius researcher with a weak body that isn’t strong enough to even run, and had a strong obsession with rocks (reason will be revealed later) who once had been to rainbow city with his mentor but had returned back to JeJu Island to live a peaceful life was now needed to research the new variant. So the city sent soldier “Major Kwak SuHwan” to get him off the Island as well as the job of being the doctor’s personal bodyguard because Major Kwak Suhwan, being the strongest man in Rainbow city, barged into the red zone late at night without warning and caused a shit ton of chaos, massacring Adams just to fuel his alcohol addiction and was now given 2 options. 1. Get Dr.Seok off JeJu island and be his guard or 2. Go to the guardhouse which was basically a detention center for soldiers. Major Kwak, having the most fuckboy personality and was still reluctant to do it, manages to convince Dr.Seok to go back. However, he soon figures out the reason. Dr.Seok’s old mentor had been murdered in the base. With that, Dr.Seok starts to research the death of his mentor and starts to find things in Rainbow City that is not what it seems. its filled with plot twists at every corner and ofc the dynamic between the two is very very complex (anyone who can read and has braincells would be able to figure it out). this is not just the type of work that just gives you everything, no you gotta link events together with your own brain to understand the plot and the actions of the characters which are sometimes stated in the manhwa but mostly in the novel which includes a lot of details, even tiny tiny intentions to the characters actions. (ill even give you one, wanna know why Dr.seok doesn't wear the socks Major Kwak gives him at the very beginning? in the novel WAY LATER it states Dr.Seok doesn't like wearing socks cause his feet get too hot because his body temperature is higher than that of a normal humans) teehee. Anyways it's so good and If you like

DREAMING OF THE DOKKAEBI
https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_mountain_branches_dream_of_goblins/
✓ Interesting plot (one of the most UNIQUE I've read)
✓ Supernatural (the fantasy-like setting mixed with modern world is what makes it interesting)
✓ Mystery (as to the plot, not some crime stuff)
✓ Action (it never bores me! every update is food to my soul)
✓ Lil bit horror (bcs of the mysterious creatures)
✓ BL manhwa (yaoi with just the right amount of smexy scenes)
✓ NO SA, rape, noncon/dubcon (as of Ch 40 in the raws, it hasn't had any of these yet)
✓ NOT a twink uke (not-so-buff uke but MANLY)
✓ NOT a pushover, indebted, crybaby uke (he's a strong and independent one)
✓ The couple's dynamic is sooo perfect! They match each other's freak!
✓ The art is absolutely stunning and magnificent! The couple doesn’t resemble each other at all.
✓ Not exactly a comedy, but still fun! (special mention: the tooth guy!)
P.S. It's not based on any novel. It is still ongoing, but so far, I can say this is one my favourite reads this year ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
I KNEW IT
paljae is like GOLD to me... I find it hard to believe tgcf has more than 100k fans but this probably has less than 3k. I was looking for something to fill the void after finishing tgcf and got sooooo much more. this one is so underground and i wanna gatekeep it tbh but the author needs recognition cause I'm reading this for free plus author currently has a slipped disc so the story is on hiatus. she needs to know how much we love it so won't get dropped istg https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/paljae/
