pluviophiliac's manga / #darling shapeshifters(173)

so adorable!!! i'm hoping there’ll be a few bonus episodes for a full closure effect. it's otherwise been quite an enjoyable read! the only reason i’m giving it four stars instead of five is because of the somewhat ambiguous plot… maybe it’s just me, but it feels as though there’s something missing. i just don’t know what it is. considering the fact that i initially gave it five stars and then changed it after some thought, i think it’s fair to say that the creator must’ve done something right. i wouldn’t have bothered reading something i wasn’t fond of in the first place, and i’m well aware of the fact that i’m a generous reviewer by nature. i’m trying to be more realistic when rating books and comics nowadays, though, lol. (hence the lower rating.) nonetheless, i’m content!!! i don’t regret reading it, and i might even come back and reread it one of these days. you never know!

aww, super sweet!!! it was a short but quite enjoyable read. not a whole lot of emotional complexity or anything like that, but that’s not what i came here for in the first place. so, with that in mind, i’m going to give this a 5 star rating—despite the plot holes that still remained after the last chapter! mainly because i really appreciate ten as a character and as a male lead for our female lead. HE’S. SO. EFFORTLESSLY. FUCKING. ATTRACTIVE. i mean, he obviously knows he is, but every single gesture he made in arim’s close proximity left me swooning, omfg. other than that, the 100% wholesomeness (and their immediate chemistry) left me no choice but to enjoy myself throughout!

yo… this is really fucking wholesome. i was somewhat skeptical at first—mainly because i saw a comment about aiden being sly and manipulative that i ended up diving into this manhwa with bias. alas, it was nothing like what i’d expected! my god, he’s so fucking precious i could die. i actually really like and support their relationship; despite the early onset of miscommunication and misunderstandings. things are really headed in the right direction, though, i think… seriously, they’re such a good match for each other!!! i’m loving these dynamics. excited for future updates! (this is available for free on webtoon, by the way! read it there and support the author.) edit: aww, i’m so happy with that final author’s note.

she’s a motherfucking QUEEEEN!!!
