The Lady and Her Butler
Super charming and fun! i wish it didnt have that tired "man pretends to be gay to be straight gal's roommate" trope that is so weirdly common in korean based cohabitation shenanigans. neway its otherwise excellent tho. the gay thing is dropped by s2 and instead we get 2 seasons of them learning how to be a couple despite both having some real trauma in their pasts. and their own internal issues to work thru. watching two people grow together and also as indivuals is so satisfying. and on a shallow note the dude is crazy hot like omg. anyway i like the female lead is such a stoic closed off person, we dont get alot of female characters in main roles like that. instead the usual bubbly type of female lead turns out to be a more complicated and even sinister character. the characters are all interesting in their own ways but i'll be honest about not caring too much about the secondary guy until maybe right before the very end lol. anyway highly recommend this, very satisfying romance and slice of life story. and i would gladly spend another 40 chpts with the male lead's adorable and loud family. (i will say i lament that i never got to see the UST resolved, only had it hinted at. i know its not a smut toon but...CMON! at least give me some over the bra action!)
HUBBY BUNNY
another fun dynamic where the guy is soft and domestic and likes to be dominated by his free spirited takes no shit female partner. its a cute but ultimately forgettable story. and the art is kinda ugly lol. but i enjoyed it. its an easy breezy read. alas there is no pegging. this guy woulda totally said yes too! (in fact he was perhaps a little too agreeable and mild mannered...) like the guy is a little too much of a pushover sometimes that he becomes pitiable. their relationship basiclaly didnt feel fully equal and it was also too short to rly delve into either character or the relationship as whole. but i did like the gender role reversal and finished it so its ok imo. not good. not bad. just ok.
Living Will
i keep thinking i wish i could spend more time with these women and their relationship but oh well. the ending has one of the ladies dying because ofc it does. but with so little build up to the climax there is p much no emotional payoff. also the way it goes from jeannette being surrounded by dudes trying to kill her, only to suddenly end up in a room sadly reading her dead gf's letter is...not everything Needs to be explained but that was a very weird narrative choice tbh. i rly cant rate it higher than this even tho i want to. so here's hoping the next GL comic i pick up will be more enjoyable.
Love or Hate(Yeongha)
the best thing i can say about this BL ero webtoon is that it has a love triangle where i can see the appeal of both guys and relationships and the sex scenes are Really hot. EDIT: caught up and looked at the newest raws (101-104) and hoo boy my mains get back together, the breakup that was long time coming finally comes, there's some fun drama involving paparazzi and jealous little shits and possible Exposure of our main pair's sordid past all culimating in a beautiful reunion and reconnection that feels earned. also 101-104 is legit just...kissing, cuddling and fucking. like ty Yeongha my fields were DYING from the drought of sexy scenes and u finally watered my crops. and by crops i mean p**** Edit Final Thoughts: a beautiful and satisfying ending to an almost perfect series. top scores here kids! can def see myself re reading this one day (but uh maybe ill skim thru half of s3 cause hoo boy did it drag in parts...)
Talk To Me
a comic that is entirely too long for how little there is of anything happening in it. there's quite a few hot scenes but because there isnt enough variation...nor do the scenes further the (non existent tbf) plot or rly teach us more about the characters after a while. they did at first! but by s3 we are really going in circles with the couples tho at least in the case of the secondary couple of Nari and Hannam their constant bickering followed by rough and or dirty sex is considerably more entertaining to watch albeit not esp deep Either. that said not every smutty love story can move both my heart and my lady bits so if i can get it to move at least one of those i should be grateful ya? In conclusion this webtoon is just Okay. i did enjoy it and nothing was esp offensive about it and in a genre full of problematic bullshit that is truly worth commending. it has some pretty great relationship adivce in it too for those of us whom may need such things lol. so yes i recommend it but its not rly a must read. but if u want urself some het smut that isnt written by men then you rly have few options to begin with im afraid and this is one of the better ones that is also available in english. so...yeah.
From Points of Three
well im not bored yet. so thats a plus. its not esp sexy as far as ero BL comics go but its def more interesting than viewfinder or my suha was. two bl comics i tried in the same day as this one. whether it'll hold my attention until the end of S1 remains to be seen. but there's def potential. Edit: s1 completed and my favorite character is def Sun Yool. i decided to jump to his beautiful spin off series aka side story about him and his love story and I looooooved it. more than the main series and main couple. tho i do like heejae and jisuh as a couple. there's so much more warmth and fun in sun yool and haeyoung's romance imo. but also those two are jsut more my Type so to speak. tough strong guy whose shy and impossibly innocent and sweet and loyal? yes. and then Sun Yool is both the type of person i'd want to befriend or date. he's just adooooorable. (his temprement is similar to mine. he's such a gemini tbh). anyway, i havent finished the main series yet. im on chpt 42 there. but i did read all the side stories. if i were just rating the sides its def 4 stars but the main is more 3 stars for now. i like it but im not in love with it. and i probably wont ever be. but i def want to read it till the end. (anyway SO glad my favorite boi got his own beautiful and incredibly sexy romance. its what he deserves!). edit 2: finally finished the whole comic and it rly got me in the second half i gotta say. i do love the turning of tables on snakey types like heejae. seeing him cry his eyes out was SO satisfying holy shit. and the fact that jisuh was just petty enough to be happy about it too. *chef's kiss* but also when he said "i wanted to see you defeated by me" i was like daaaaaang. but also...i felt that. anyway this is a good one kids, definitely read. and its probably the most responsible bdsm portrayal in an adult comic ive seen so far. but ofc with the usual disclaimers (was also really impressed with the author devoting several parapgraphs in her end of season notes to clarify that if a guy like heejae appears in your life trying to manipulate u into doing kinky stuff he's "100 percent trash and should be avoided" i was like....this lady gets it. whats fun in fiction isnt for real life dont try this at home folks!) anyway i really felt the care and attention the author put into the character's motivations and relationship once i got past s1 (not it was bad before but it didnt rly shine as much). and im so glad Sunyool got to stay in the story even when his role as romantic spoiler was long gone. and his friendship with jisuh that forms after? SO PURE SO WHOLESOME. anyway Sun Yool is still my fave character but i def adored Jisuh by the end too.
K's secret
the art is....the proportions of the guys is just giving me rly old school yaoi manga vibes and it may be that this korean artist who drew these was influenced by those mangas. koreans like manga too! lol. anyway, the story is fine and altho the proprotions are weird the expressions can be very evocative and beautifully illustrated. and i do look the coloring style as well. there's something very soft focus and dreamy about it at times. as always with these the vampire is a cute soft boy bottom im left wondering why they dont have any vampire abilities, albeit in this case he's a "half" vampire so...ya. (but like srsly no special strength nothing to show for vampirism but optional blood sucking?). anyway its a case where the paranormal aspects are hamstrung by the more mundane office life type aspects that i do NOT care for. also i almost admire the writer for just not even pretending like a boss fucking his employee isnt wildly unethical and having him flat out threaten to fire him if he doesnt date him (yikes but i guess he was only saying it to scare the guy and wouldnt Actually fire him but...nope still gross. lol). anyway the fantasy elements make this problematic start tolerable. edit: finally finished it. that was...underwhelming. like cute enough and had a few properly intense scenes but for the most part i was just like "meh" about this comic so thats the rating im giving it.
Make Me Bark
this is cute and light but not exactly a must read. everyone in it is very beautiful tho. and i do enjoy it when i read it but i also dont feel compelled to keep reading it after a few chpts. its so short at 35 chpts but i've been reading this thing for over a month now cause every few chpts im distracted by something else much more interesting. that said it feels wrong rating it only 2 stars when its so genuinely sweet and wholesome and there isnt anything in particular that bothers me about it? unlike when i rate stuff 2 stars its usually cause i kept reading it in spite of my better judgement lol. but this one rly is quite pleasant. i just wish i cared more about anything that was going on in it at any given time.... (also for a comic named Make me Bark with a guy in a collar on the promo image...there is not neaaarly enough pet play going on. this is false advertising ill have you know!!)
