The Great Mage Returns After 4000 Years

Ongoing | barnacle,kim deok-yong , redice studio | 2019 released

this is so good!!! i’ve really fallen in love with this genre. and i love his personality, too! it kinda reminds me of ‘legend of the northern blade’, which i finished binging just yesterday. i’m only 20 chapters in, but i’m already enthralled with this one! i’m excited. ^^ edit: I. LOVE. HUMAN. POWERHOUSES. seriously, i’m weak. it’s so fucking sexy. edit #2: this is AMAZING. i live for the growth!!! if he was a powerhouse before, he’s the fucking sun right now. so cool. edit #3: just finished chapter 105 and i’m actually SOBBING!!!!! i truly love this story arc. edit #4: well, i guess i’m ‘technically’ on chapter 114 right now, but i’ve decided to reread this while awaiting new chapters… because why not? so let’s goooo, you guys!!! i’m ridiculously exited. i feel like a kid in a candy store, lol. rereading my favorite manhwas is really the best pastime there is! just finished reading solo leveling for the third time yesterday, too, and ahhhh, i’m still reeling from that. i wonder which story i’ll choose next, haha!! oh well, i’m rambling. latersss. ;) #feelingblissful edit #5: my god. i’m only on chapter 2 (for the second time) and i’m already shaking. i’m not even joking. i assume it’s because i already know everything that’ll happen up until chapter 114 as of right now, but maaaan!!! this is genuinely thrilling. i’ll never again hesitate to reread a story i worship, lol! so great. edit #6 (spoiler alert): once again, i just finished 105 again and i’m sobbing even harder this time, lol. this shit fucking hurts. you’ll stick with me, ricky!! he wasn’t with us for long, but during this short time we knew him, was an amazing character and he’ll be greatly missed. man, this definitely left a mark. fml.

Lucky Paradise

Complete | Kang neuk | 2019 released

I. CAN’T. COPE. this is fucking genius, i swear to everything unholy. omfggg. ridiculously clumsy and adorably awkward, but so good still. sheesh… and the SEX, bro!!!!! my vagina needs a break, lol. edit: this manhwa is making me experience all kinds of anxiety. i’ve kinda missed this feeling, heh. this is so freakin’ wholesome!!! incredibly relatable, too. and if that’s not all, the smut is TOP. NOTCH. literally had to go masturbate afterwards (and had to struggle not to do so while reading) because i was thoroughly soaked through. getting kinda wet just recalling it, heh. good thing i’m in the shower, i guess. TMI but #yolo edit #2: this is getting all kinds of fucked up, my god... please, just stop hurting each other. ;_; edit #3: well, this is new. WHAT. A. MESS. a glorious, toxic mess!!! still, i’m kinda happy about this journey, not gonna lie. at least they’re finally giving it a ‘real chance’ for once, despite everything that’s happened… and i hope that they’ll be able to find different ways to make each other better people, truly. (i honestly think they will.) i’m rooting for you guys! edit #4: a couple of epilogue parts later, and i’m growing more and more enthusiastic about them as a couple by the chapter! i love them, and they both deserve the world. our babies are healing. <3 edit #5: THE. SMUT. IS. FUCK. ING. UN. REAL. holy shit, man!!! haven’t felt so turned on in my life, omfg. (that’s an exaggeration, but still)

Midnight Poppy Land

Ongoing | Lilydusk | 2019 released

this the second comic i ever read, and i’m still anxiously awaiting updates each week to this day—even though it’s been almost two years. it’s really quite spectacular! and the comedic aspects are fucking genius, lol. anyway, y’all should head over to webtoon and read it there where there are a lot more episodes available (FOR FREE!!!). plus, in doing so, you’re also supporting our lovely author who works so hard to create all this wonderfulness for us. <3

Like A Wind On A Dry Branch

Ongoing | Moon seaul,Uret | 2019 released

legit one of the best fucking ones out there. (within this genre, at least.) although y’all should head over to webtoon, it’s available for free over there and you’d also be supporting the author in the process.

My Red String of Fate

Ongoing | cumin 큐민 | 2019 released

whew, man!! it’s finished, goddammit. i kinda miss them already. first of all, i loved every minute of it. it was so creative, and so freakin’ funny, too! i nearly sobbed by the time i stared reading this final chapter, lol. FML. and these so called villains, at that…! surprisingly, pretty much ALL of them ended up being among my favorite characters. not gonna lie, i actually cried a little bit when caesar left. that one hit me quite hard, and i don’t really know why. i didn’t expect it at all—especially considering how we started out. in any case, it was such an excellent plot twist! loved that. it’s bittersweet. but truly, there’s just so much wholesomeness all around this neighborhood!!! honestly, i don’t really know what else to say at this point. i really liked the characters, obviously. i enjoyed the plot, too. i appreciated the art style... i mean, what else CAN i say? other than something like: “thank you, dear creators! i love your work. please come back with something equally captivating soon!” maybe that out to do the trick. :)

Dangerous Convenience Store

Complete | 945 | 2019 released

#30 i’m fucking soaked. hottest update yet, it’s crazy… and it’s been awhile since i took this many screenshots from one single chapter. i’m getting turned on again just thinking about it, lmfao. CHRIST. #37 all i can say is <3333 edit: this shit just keeps getting better and better. y’all won’t be disappointed whichever way you choose to look at it, lol. edit #2: it’s INSANE how this literally just keeps getting better and better by the week—every single chapter. the feeling literally NEVER. FADES. AWAY. everything from their chemistry, the art itself, the dynamics, the smut—it probably deserves the #1 spot on any or every single yaoi rating list there is—and the entire fucking story as a whole, fuuuuck. also, please note that it’s been over a year since i first started reading this… and it’s STILL the update i look forward to the most each week. it’s THAT fucking amazing. (crazy good, i can’t even…!!!) i’m legit simping so hard right now, i’m low-key worried it’s becoming an actual issue at this point. like, feeling this way about a story and its fictional characters simply CANNOT be normal. lmfao, help. edit #3: it’s over now, and i wish i had the words to express just how much i’ve loved this story, truly! i’d get so ridiculously impatient awaiting updates every single week that i’d usually end up rereading the chapters once or twice, or even browse the web for any future raws or something like that. i don’t have a single doubt in joy kind that i’ll be rereading this one at least a couple of times. even more so now as there’s an official english translation in progress! i’m so excited for that as well, y’all have no idea, lol. anyway, just wanted to state real quick that this manhwa has been a solid favorite from day one. it was one of the first comics i ever started reading (coincidentally, it was first released right around that time), and it’s stuck with me right until the end. solid, solid favorite. 10/10, every single day of the week. god, i LOVE. THEM. TOGETHER. and their domestic life is so freakin’ wholesome as well that i can’t help wanting to tear up; especially knowing where and how things first started out. soooo obsessed with this still!!! it’s been almost two years now, goddamn. definitely worth sticking around. <33

True Education

Ongoing | Jae yong taek,Han ga ram | 2019 released

…is corporal punishment an actual thing in some places? as in, it’s actually legal?? the fuck??? update: i just googled it and it is, in fact, legal. unbelievable. edit: i’m loving the story!!! i simply detest the whole notion of corporal punishment and violence in general, though. especially considering it just births even more violence that no one wants to take responsibility for. it’s a vicious cycle… quite literally, lol. i don’t really believe in morality (or any other social construct), but i fucking DETEST hypocrisy. don’t go around hurting other people if you can’t take a fucking hit yourself. treat others the way you’d want them to treat you. that’s it—it’s all there is to it!!! that should be common sense. fucking hell. anyway, daddy’s fucking haaaawt. his behavior kinda turns me on, lol. i don’t care how ‘violent’ he is, he could fuck me up any day. (and yes, i’ve got issues. i legit don’t care.) humanity’s trash and there’s nothing we can do about that, but sheeeesh. if i hit someone, i’d expect them to hit me back. (quid pro quo, my man!) it doesn’t mean that i will or even would, but at least i wouldn’t go around blaming other folks for being aggressive if i’m a physically aggressive person myself. but personally, i try to be the change i want to see in the world—as cliché as it sounds. and just as i’ve said before, i don’t particularly enjoy violence, but it is what it is. if someone were to hit me, i’d say i have every right to hit them back. i simply choose not to because it’s not something i wish to be an advocate for. still, this is a work of fiction and i know how to separate reality from that. i probably wouldn’t find a guy like this very attractive in real life, lol. well, maybe. i think…? anyway, all is fair in love and manhwa, as the saying goes!!! (although i might’ve paraphrased a bit.) edit #2: wow, he’s such a legend. what a badass bitch, omfggg. love to see it!! he’s like karma incarnated, lol.

A Returner's Magic Should Be Special

Ongoing | Jeon Sun-Wook,Yoo So-Nan | 2000 released

one chapter in and i can already tell that this is going to be amazing. edit: I. LOVE. HIM. what an admirable guy. probably one of the best protagonists i’ve come across thus far. wow.

Tale of a Scribe Who Retires to the Countryside

Ongoing | barking dog,고기산적 (studio redice) | 2019 released

this is amazing! it’s giving me maaaad nano machine, murim login and peerless dad vibes; even though each respective story is completely different from the other. either way, i’m absolutely loving this! and the buildups are INSANE!!! i’m genuinely stoked for future updates. ^^
