TheMidnightower's Manga

Honestly, I started this one off thinking it was gonna be one thing cuz Lehzin seems to have a type but... it was something else entirely? Well worth the read.

I... actually think I may have come across a fanfic based on this story once? Honestly, kinda brutal in the way that Manwha can be but the main couple is my favorite dynamic.

I'm weirdly obsessed with this. The color choices are interesting as are the characters; their flaws are messy and violent in a way that doesn't usually balance out to a positive, and the side couples we see are dysfunctional in a way that makes sense and also somehow seem to work out. A lot of stuff feels like it kind of tapers off, as opposed to being properly resolved and there are moments that get genuinely terrifying but while the plot fails, somehow the tone still works.

Okay. Okay, so I don't know if I can accurately describe how much I love this. It's just so...wholesome? Or maybe that's not quite right? The relationship progresses, it's just...the rare nice, healthy, wholesome kind of progression.
I started reading this because the art was gorgeous but the story really holds up as well. It reads a lot more like a book than it does a series, where the timeline is solid, to the point where there were certain plot points I saw coming- I just still enjoyed them because they were excellent. The villain is a little bit annoying, with that weird mix of shamelessly, but mostly indirect, evil deeds that feel somewhat SAO-esque, and the ending was a bit sappy but overall, solid read that I'll probably come back to.

Love the lead but all the boys in this one are a little crazy. It's great!
