pluviophiliac's manga / #♡(192)

amazing. amazing. AMAZINGAMAZINGAMAZING. amazing. reading this is probably one of the best decisions i’ve made as of late. seriously couldn’t even BEGIN to explain how incredible this is. just raw power!!! this one will stick with me for a long, long time. the bar has been set, raised and breached, that’s for sure. can’t believe i’ve waited this long to read it, seriously. it’s like going on a power trip with no limitations as to how great things can get. it just keeps on growing. epic. edit: i’ve now read and completed all the available chapters (168 as of right now) twice within the span of a few non-regretful days. i have zero regrets. ZERO. shit just seems to get better and better the more i immerse myself in it, lol. i was literally SHAKING as i was reading, i kid you not. probably from shock and excitement the first time around. i’m guessing it stuck around during round two because i already knew what was coming, hah! i was feeling constantly hyped up. especially once we passed chapter 70 or so when shit started to get maaaad serious. and no, it’s not an exaggeration. had to stop myself from screeching, out loud, FROM EXCITEMENT, a couple of dozen times. even now, i still feel giddy just thinking about it and what’s to come. this is some ridiculously good storytelling. excellent visuals. the creator of this masterpiece evidently has this AMAZING ability to pull readers in and then refuse to let go. it’s been ages since i was this invested in something. i feel inspired. at this point in time, i just want the whole world to read it so i can talk about it with everyone. that’s all i need. ;_; edit #2: i’m embarrassed to see that this is all i’ve written for this incredible graphic novel thus far. seriously, i can’t stress ENOUGH just how incredible this is. i mean, i literally check for the latest updates, like, three times more than usual during wednesdays for nothing but the sake of this work of art. and, once i see the update, lo and behind!!! i get chills, my body begins to shake and my heart starts thumping like crazy inside my ribcage. i’m still quivering from the aftershock even now, hah. this is legit INSANE. i feel like i don’t have the words to express how much i adore this, truly. one might even call me obsessed! (although there are definitely worse obsessions out there, so i don’t really care, lol.) anyway. the mere fact that events, characters even the atmosphere are STILL building up towards new climaxes constantly as we’re nearing chapter 180 is just… completely mind-boggling to me. no story has ever gotten me this worked up, so consistently, for this long. i dread the day when this is all over. if nothing else, i have this story to thank for introducing me to this incredible genre. it definitely made me fall in love with visual storytelling all over again. i’m sure it’ll be near impossible to triumph. sorry (not really) for the long rant, but i felt it was necessary out of the respect i have for whoever came up with this… gift. and if you stuck around till the very end of this monologue of mine—mad respect, bro! edit #3: WHAT THE FUCK OH MY GOD WHAAAAT?!?!?! chapter 178 has me in literal tears, y’all. really can’t decide which kind, though. my mind is split. ~ i’m ruined ~ edit #4: it’s complete. it’s over. my life is now in shambles. i’m dead inside. will reread within a few days for sure nonetheless. thank you, wonderful creator(s), for this intricate wonder! i’m still kinda speechless, to be honest. and definitely still reveling from chapter 179, not gonna lie! i hope there’ll be one more chapter to add to the short list of things that’d make my entire life worth living! preferably in about a week or so. ;) well, one can always dream, if nothing else. it’s still marked incomplete at the moment, plus i had someone tell me last week that there’d be 180 chapters in total, so i guess we’ll have to wait and see! i won’t expect anything. it’s a good ending either way. still, i’d love to see what happened to the world from 179 and beyond. even though i’m emotionally drained right now, i’m preeeetty sure i’d sob quite a bit. i could think of at least three reasons why, heh. thank you for sticking around for my longest review yet, you guys!!! this is truly a story worth reading. not only is the art simply outstanding, the plot is also intriguing; the buildups are insane; the occasional comedic aspects are wonderful and often necessary; you’re always kept engaged; the dynamics between the characters, as well as their interactions with each other, is great as well. can’t think of any more things at the moment, but i’m sure there’d be quite a few if i really put my mind to it. it’s the one and only graphic novel i recommend to every single person who asks me for tips, haha. #noregrets i have to get back to watching ‘attack on titan’, though!!! just stopped by to write a quick *cough* not really *cough* review, but i ended up writing a whole bunch of other stuff all the same, lol. (worth it.) but hey, now that i think about it, the architect really do give me those ‘attack on titan’ vibes. never even noticed it until earlier today, lol. just a little fun fact!!! can’t wait to reread this genius freakin’ amazing ass masterpiece of a story soon. y’all have noooo idea. - — - — - — - soooo… i just finished reading this masterpiece for the third time and i really don’t know what to do with myself at this point. i need story recommendations ASAP. i doubt there are any out there capable of beating this one in terms of otherworldly characters and overall wow-factor… but one can always dream, aye? you never know! anyway, this is still a clear favorite. i have no regrets reading this. i’ll be checking out the novels in a short while, too! already bought the first three parts of the published english version, so i’ll just have to await the release of the remaining parts! for what it’s worth, i'm truly excited. <33 side note: would’ve added the “depressing af” tag if i could, goddammit.

FML. he’s so blatantly attractive, y’all… what a fucking KING. it doesn’t even matter what he chooses to do at this point, i’d absolutely worship him either way. well, to a point… let’s give it a solid 99.99% chance probability, yes? my moral compass is completely shattered at this point, who cares. in any case, i’m loving these not-so-subtle political angles, too! but that goddamn HOTEL, man… it’s killing me, lol. it’s borderline comical at this point, seriously. so weirdly funny. at the end of the day, it DOES bring a smile to my ever so frowney-ass face! i’m so here for the drama, though—always! it’s practically never-ending. <3 oh, and in case it wasn’t already obnoxiously obvious, i’m fucking LOVING every minute of this. it’s unpredictable and exciting; i’m having the time of my life! (i swear i’m not a psychopath, i just love fictional violence. sue me.) edit: sighhh… i get horny just looking at him now. SERIOUSLY, WHY AM I LIKE THIS??? SJJKSDHAKDNWJDKISHS edit #2: it’s been a few weeks since my last *ahem* update on here, and yoooo, this dude is fucking FIREEEE. he’s such a boss, i kid you not. so fucking badass, it’s INSANELY hot. #givemetherapy #imawalkingtravesty

i’m not even through with chapter one yet and i’m already completely IMMERSED. definitely tagging this as a 10/10, lol. edit: i’m genuinely surprised by how creative, dark and fucking EPIC this manhwa turned out to be. truly. i’m in awe. after season 1 ended, i low-key expected a steady decline in quality, anticipation and ingenuity... but i’ll be damned. it’s just the opposite! i’m literally STILL reeling from the aftershocks and all this excitement… and my heart’s still racing 15 minutes later. i never would’ve ‘paused’ this binging-sesh if i hadn't run out of chapters to obsess over. this is simply amazing. exhilarating, high-quality content! ughhh, for real. it’s been a good while since i experienced something like this. it reminds me of the reasons why i immersed myself in this genre in the first place. so, with that being said… i wish to thank you, dear author, for creating this MASSIVELY underrated masterpiece. <33 so pleased with myself for ultimately deciding to pick it up again. (or, more accurately, reread it from scratch.) i’m genuinely astonished! you never know what to expect, that’s for sure. i’m so, soooo fucking excited for the future of this comic—y’all have no idea.

so in love with this!!! i just want them to get together already, gaaawd.

god, this poor woman. you’ll find happiness and security for sure, mark my words!!! ;–; SPOILER ALERT: i just returned from reading the novel ‘cause i got impatient for updates… and BIITCHHHH, THEY’RE SUCH A GOOD MATCH, OMGGGG!!! i genuinely love them together—even though it took… a good while… for ruby to finally open up. the process was torturous, honestly. but it made the reward all the more sweet! and izek might actually be one of my favorite male leads, like, ever. (which says a whole lot, lol.) honestly, i don’t think i’m the most empathetic person out there. i get attached to things easily, and i get incredibly invested in the stories i read, but i rarely truly empathize with the characters i read about. (and people in general, to be honest.) but bro, this one literally made me tear up. MULTIPLE. FUCKING. TIMES. i don’t think i’ve ever come across a character as broken and empty as she is. it wrecks me to my very core. i’m getting emotional just thinking about it, fml. (hits a little close to home.) there’s soooo many mental health aspects to this story, y’all, and it just makes her identity feel so damn real to me. most of you wouldn’t know this yet (unless you’ve read the novel), but when she breaks… she breaks. words can’t express what i felt as i suffered through those chapters. not only because it was so devastatingly tragic, but also because it was scary relatable. truly heartbreaking. anyway. obviously, things eventually worked out. although i wasn’t able to finish the novel as of right now (unfortunately couldn’t find any english translations past chapter 123), but things are definitely heading in a ‘happier’ direction.

<333 looks great. just need to wait for more chapters before i start! i genuinely hope there’ll be a mass release at some point later on, but it seems a bit unlikely. oh well. edit: haha, it’s quite different from my expectations! i’m definitely not complaining, though. i thought there’d be somewhat more solemn and serious ’vibes’ for whatever reasons, but homeboy’s characteristics really bring some humor and spice into the mix, lol. it’s great! i do love colorful characters who leave lasting impressions. i’m also pleasantly surprised by the length of these chapters! since there are only 40 available as of right now, i thought i’d breeze my way through them in two hours or something. (i’m a relatively fast reader.) but, considering my reasoning as to why i haven’t binged this earlier, i must say that this is a clear bonus. i’m only 15 chapters in right now and it feels as though i’ve already made it quite far—which, in reality, i obviously haven’t. thus, this is a great news!!! heh, i’m exited. i’ll be able to continue this in the morning (and possibly afternoon) as well. i’m so tired right now, sheesh. edit #2: oh, come on!!! it’s just plain cruelty to leave us with a cliffhanger like that… ;–;

oh my god, i love this so much. talk about a literal power-couple!!! they’re literally freakin’ GODS, bro. and the sexual tension between them always kept me on my toes, too! such beautiful artistry… and complexity. win-win! but, in any case, i adore them to death. <33 this review ended up being way shorter than i think it deserves, but i’m weirdly busy right now, and my mind’s kinda drawing a blank at that. but just know that this one will DEFINITELY be reread by yours truly one day! i low-key miss them already, lol. i loved these characters.

this is such a power trip. bro… i’m adoring this MC of ours!!! i’m fucking weak, lol. jinho’s such a fucking boss. i’m exhausting myself by getting so hyped up all the damn time, lol. no joke. i just live for these buildups!!! surprisingly funny, too. it’s got the whole package, as they say! #obsessed I. NEED. MORE. UPDATES!!!

i’m reading it on the webtoon app. it’s fucking genius and soooo well-written, you guys.

whoa… the comments were right. this is definitely a hidden gem! literally binged it in one 04:00 A.M. sleepless morning-sitting, lol. it’s a shame it was so short, though… would’ve enjoyed to read even more, but i do understand why they chose to end it there. but, all in all, i loved the creative plot-line and our main character(s?) as well—really captivating stuff! it’s been awhile since i read a manhwa mostly focused on violence like this. probably since ‘god of blackfield’, i think?? i kinda missed the genre, not gonna lie. heh. but yeah, i’m absolutely content with this!!! way better than expected, too. and great character development as well! i’ll definitely reread it one day, no doubt about it. ahhh, it would seem i’m stupidly weak to the gory, morally ambiguous stuff. i’m clearly a total psycho, but that’s okay. <33 well, i think. so, so good!!! edit: well, i actually DID reread it. still loved it, lololol
