This is the kind of story that will hurt over and over again no matter how many times you reread it. Beautifully written yet equally heartbreaking. Ash chose to live his last moments with the comfort of Eiji's letter, knowing that despite all the hardships in life he faced, the mere chance that he got to experience some sort of sanctuary through Eiji was enough. The bond these two shared will only come once in a lifetime. Such a bittersweet end.

At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

This was not an easy read. It makes you feel all emotions at once but mostly anger lol. Siwon's twin brother was nothing but a piece of sht. Even with his backstory there was nothing redeemable about him. Even when Taemin (in Siwon's body) woke up, he was still an asshole. He's a piece of trash through and through. I was really sad when the real Siwon died he was an angel RIP. Our MC Taemin was such a badass and I like his view on never letting others take control of him. Woojin's love and devotion to him was truly amazing. I love them together What I wasn't satisfied with was just how the perpetrators, especially the twin bro was not punished. They need to rot in jail tsk. Overall, it was a whole rollercoaster

Cold-Blooded Beast

Complete | 십분 | 2019 released

Twin D snake daddy!! Damn this is definitely one of my top faves. The story is just so beautifully written. The journey of Chae-ul and Chae-heon was so painful yet so beautiful. I love them so much. Chae-heon's snake form is just too adorable Also, I WANT SIDE STORIES OF CUTIE LIZARD YOHAN AND SEXY TATTOOED NEIGHBOR all in all it was a great story. A definite must read

Haunted by Desire

Complete | penguin | 2000 released

This is truly a beautiful masterpiece. I went through a lot of emotions reading this. The story is so beautiful and well written. All three couples went through so much in their past lives and I was glad that they were able to love again in another life. My favorite couple might be Beom and Sooyeon. Although Dohui and Seongjae is still a beautiful couple. But I was the most devastated with the King and the Messenger's story. I cried so much while reading the side stories. I was able to get the gist of what happened in the end of their story and although it was bittersweet, they were able to be reunited in one way or another. Overall, it was very worth it to read this. A definite must-read and easily one of my top faves!!

Kimi no yoru ni fureru

Complete | mori moyori | 2019 released

What a beautiful story. So heart- wrenchingly beautiful. I cried a lot while reading this Kasumi is such a precious person and the way he accepted Chinatsu with all his being is so overwhelming. I love how their perspectives are ironic yet still they find similarities and common ground with eo. I love this story

Ogus's Law

Complete | shiyi ball | 2000 released

Another one to add to my favorites. ️ I don't often read manhuas much since it's too censored but I gambled on this one and i'm so glad I did. It was really worth it. The characters are beautifully written. Even the villains, you can't really hate them. They weren't born evil and just really had a tough past. John and Lucian's love for eo is very beautiful. Thank God Lucian has a person like John by his side. I cried so much of Azure and Snow i'm glad they were able to be born again both as Nagas. Simon and Willow also got me sobbing so hard. It was a bittersweet ending for them. And finally, Theo and Dylan were able to be together after a long time of unrequitted love tbh I was rooting for them since the beginning. I really adore this story, plot wise it was really good

Unscented Trajectory

Complete | | 2019 released

I like this story. Yes although this is another red flag alpha story, I actually like the progression of the plot. Joohyuk may have forgotten Soohyun in the present but the fact that he's still devoted to the Soohyun of the past, truly moved me. Although it doesn't excuse all the shit he put Soohyun through in the one year of their contract, i'm glad they were able to clear up their misunderstandings and work out their interrupted shared past.

Legs That Won't Walk

Complete | 흑살구, Black Apricot | 2020 released

This was a painful journey to read. Considering the tags, it's not for the lighthearted and tbh my anger management issues rose a lot reading this lol. Most characters are unlikeable and non-redeemable, specially Jisung (that fcking asshole) and Minhyuk (he pretty tho lol). Even Taesung in the beginning is trash but i'm glad he got his redemption arc and changed a lot for Sooyoung's sake. Overall, it was exhausting to read but it was a nice story.

Prince Bari

Complete | Solanine,Maki | 2016 released

I love thisss. ️ I'm a sucker for fantasy plots and add a historical romance? Shut up and take my money. Donga and Chunho's love story in the past tl is so sad. I'm so glad they got to be together for eternity in the end. But yall, I was so devastated when Yohan's powers were gone. I actually cried when Donga hugged and said his last goodbyes to Yohan dammit. Such a bittersweet ending to a beautiful bond. This is a must read ️ (except the last side story coz that sht was nonsense).

Ways of Parting

Complete | AMALILLIA | 2019 released

This story hurts real deeply. What makes this story painful is because of how realistic it is. The way the author approached on the cause and effect of an inevitable breakup is amazing. Also, I like how you can't really hate the characters cause they're flawed in their own way, except Youngwoo. I just can't sympathize with his actions. What Taejoo went through was really tough. The pain of loss for Yoon in those 5 years was so heartbreaking, especially since he was left in the dark and wasn't able to be there for him. Their official breakup was so devastating yet kinda bittersweet. Their time apart helped them heal from the pain and burden they felt in those years and honestly, it was for the best. I love how Kwon was understanding and not pushy and gave Yoon a choice in their relationship. I just wanna give Yoon a big hug. He went through a lot of emotional and physical pain. I'm just really glad he gave Kwon a chance to begin again and be a better version of himself. Kwon is the best person for him. ️ I love this story so much.
