The new employee

Complete | Moscareto, Zec | 2019 released

RIDICULOUSLY WHOLESOME!!! i genuinely loved this story. (low-key want to get the actual novel now, too, lol. anyone know if there’s an english translation for said book available for purchase, aye?) anyway. it’s a shame it’s over already, but it does makes me look forward to other future works by this awesome creator!!! it’s been wonderful following these two through their ups and downs. oh, and the smut was pretty damn great, too. #noregrets this review ended up being surprisingly short by my standards, but i don’t know what else to tell ya. for what it’s worth, i’ll definitely read it again at some point in the future. thank you, author!!! i live for the wholesomeness. oh, and i’ll be looking forward to the possible side stories mentioned in the epilogue. <33

Masked Woman

Aww, this was so wholesome. I appreciated the characters’ individualities and personalities. (Viola killed me, lol.) Anyway, it certainly helped in making this a truly enjoyable read! Really looking forward to reading more of these creators’ work in the future.

cute as hell.

Woman's Best Friend

Complete | Dodam | 2000 released

I really liked this manhwa! I especially enjoyed the dynamic between the characters, and I also found all of them interesting in their own way, relatable and surprisingly realistic for a comic. I loved the character development and getting to watch them grow and mature—both together and separately as individuals. Overall, it was an appreciable story! The only reason I’m giving it four stars instead of five is because it didn’t really have that ‘wow-factor’. It was good, and I did finish it in one go, but I don’t believe it’s something I’ll read again. (Not for awhile, at least.) Nonetheless, I think it’s worth the read!

Beast in the Office

Ongoing | Ggorom,Neogul | 2019 released

HAWT. i originally came for the filth (pun intended), but i actually ended up enjoying the story somewhere along the way. i usually never start reading stories that have less than 20 chapters released, so yeaaah. anyway, it’s good!!! it’s an interesting change of pace. (once again, pun intended.) there are only 9 available chapters, yet it feels as though most of the ‘drama’ that should happen in stories such as this has already occurred. i’m sure there are many things yet to pass, but like i said earlier—it’s interesting! i rarely begin stories where the relationship evolves… pretty much instantly. either way, i’ll be continuing this story! which is something i really didn’t plan on doing originally, lol. but hey, can’t say i’m disappointed. ;) edit: whoaaa, it’s over already??? the hell, lol. just 10 chapters and that’s it? sheesh. anyway, i suppose it makes sense. i even thought so up there ^, it’d seem. meh. whatever!!!

Romance in The Old Bookstore

Ongoing | 오후 | 2019 released

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!

Touch Your Heart

Summer Solstice Point

Complete | yuju | 2019 released

I liked this one because of its rare realism when it comes to comics and such. It was intriguing to watch their relationship dynamics shift and evolve throughout! Not too much excitement; not too little depth. It was a nice, unexpected balance! I feel that it’s a bit rare to find characters who stay true to themselves all the way until the very end. They simply grew together. And I especially appreciate the way they both handled things respectively, too. Once again, quite realistic for a manhwa. (Or maybe I’ve just been reading the unrealistic kind until now, sheesh. I don’t know.) Anyway, even though it wasn’t particularly exciting in other areas, I’ll give credit where it’s due! I’m definitely a generous reviewer, though, so I don’t know about it everyone else… I’m not particularly difficult to please with this stuff, I guess. Still, this was my take on it! I’ve enjoyed reading a somewhat shorter comic for once—most of those I’ve been binging are much longer, so that’s a nice change of pace. (Let’s just overlook the fact that I didn’t actually complete this one in one sitting, but those are mere details.) I’d recommend it to readers who might be into anxious, realistic, very ‘real life-like’ characters in a generally melancholic atmosphere without all that bothersome, unnecessary melodrama to top it off. Just keepin’ it real, is all. And there’s that!

The Director Who Buys Me Dinner

Complete | Toisa , 퇴사 , Kenaz ,Yang eunji , 양은지 | 2000 released

It was hilarious! The only reason it’s getting four stars is because of the uncertain ending. Couldn’t really tell whether it was completed or not (even though it says so now, two weeks later), so that’s a bit unfortunate. I really did enjoy it, though. I’m quite a generous reviewer, that’s for sure, but it’s still true that it would’ve gotten five stars if it weren’t for that. I practically wheezed my way through this one. Loved the dynamic between the characters; even though the romance kinda came out of nowhere after a while. Oh well, lol. Still very much enjoyable!
