AH-MAY-ZING. super hot, too. just an overall good read! might reread in the future.

i was OBSESSED with this story. i’m planning to reread it one of these days; i loved the characters, the smut and the art. that’s a win-win-win!

god, this is messed up. i still love it, though, lol! i’m reading it for the third time right now and i have absolutely no regrets. surprisingly enough, i love both the storytelling and its pacing. the characters stand out to me… it’s hard to figure them out. (i always do appreciate some emotional complexity, heh.) it’s so good. and the smut is RIDICULOUSLY hot, too… really, i can’t complain! jaxx is a great storyteller in my book. “under the green light” is truly spectacular as well! i’d recommend you all to check that one out if you haven’t already. there’s some beautiful, steamy masterpieces awaiting you. ;)

simply spectacular. i’ve read it twice and i’ll probably reread it again at some point. the cringe actor is INSANE (but in a good way), and the comedic aspects were quite literally genius writing, lol. it’s just our baby’s personality, y’all. he’s precious and he deserves the world. oh, and the character development was outstanding, too! if i remember things correctly, this was the very first comic i read in here. or at least it was among the very first ones. i still hold it in high regard; despite having read hundreds and hundreds of stories since! so yeah, that should at something. i kinda miss it, actually. might even reread it sooner than i expected!

this is RIDICULOUSLY good. (jaxx is back at it again!!!) not too surprisingly, i’m really enjoying the moral dilemmas in this one. man, i’m super stoked! it’s starting to feel more like a steamy psychological thriller than before and i’m LOVING every minute of it. this is not my typical go-to genre or plot, but perhaps it should be. jin’s probably one of the hottest characters i’ve ever come across ANYWHERE. and matthew could legit kill me and i’d thank him for thinking of me, heh. although i’m still doubting whether that’s something he’d even do or not. idek, it’s still a mystery. anyway, it’s just so freakin’ intricately written!!! these characters are something else. really, really unique and complex. i have no idea in which direction we’re heading, but i’m embracing the journey—whatever it might take us. fucking hell, you guys… i knew it was bound to be good, but i didn’t expect anything like this. so happy i finally started on this one!!! i’ve been holding out until i saw its release way back. wish i could’ve binged the whole story in one go like i did with ‘walk on water’ twice… but one shouldn’t be too greedy, aye? oh, and in case it wasn’t already made clear, the sex scenes are fucking INCREDIBLE, y’all. got nothing but great things to say about this comic as a whole. praise jesus. <33 //a modern day nihilist. #31: aaaand, i came. fuck ME, that’s sexy. edit #2: this is wrecking meeee. i kinda never thought it’d be this emotional. (should check myself before i wreck myself. whatever.) it’s just glorious. i genuinely love this. season one’s been amazing, and you guys have nooo idea just how much i’m looking forward to season two… matthew and jin, y’all. such comped characters, but i love them all the same.

this looks amazing!

well, fuck. honestly, what i’m feeling is kinda bittersweet. i’m low-key sad about having to let go of these characters so soon… ughhh. i adore them both. but, since i’m tired and (sort of ) in denial about this finally being married as ‘complete’, let me just say that this was simply spectacular. really, really incredible storytelling. i love how their personalities were perfectly incorporated into the art itself! i literally could’ve read this entire story without the dialogue or inner monologues and it still would’ve made perfect sense. i recall having to take a lot of mental health breaks throughout; simply because i couldn’t cope with all the secondhand embarrassment hitting me from every single angle in every single chapter. there was always something to either crack me up like crazy or make the blood under my skin crawl. believe it or not, but either option is considered a victory by my standards! it just means i’m completely invested. and there was never a full moment! i was 100% absorbed whenever i was reading. back when i first reading this in august of 2020, i ended up rereading it (twice) before the end of that very month of that very same year. that’s how enthralled i was. it’s comedic genius, really. well, if i were to give it to you straight (unlike daehyung and yiyoung), this manhwa literally had everything i’d ever need in a story. god, it has so much character!!! and if that’s not all, our two lover boys both had unique and interesting personalities. then there’s also the incalculable amount of hysterically funny moments, lots of smoking hot sex scenes, a whole lot of wholesomeness, an overflow of creativity, excellent chemistry, nice pacing with natural progression, amazing character development… and, of course, the wonderfully playful art as well. ‘on or off’ is a clear favorite of mine among everything i’ve read thus far, and i expect it’ll remain that way for quite some time. there’s not a single doubt in my mind that i’ll end up rereading this (for a third time) at some point in the foreseeable future. i thought the ending was lovely, too, and it was indubitably very, very fitting for them. naturally, i’d be ecstatic to find an epilogue chapter or two after all this, but it’s definitely not necessary. it was a good ending and i absolutely adore this story as a whole. i’d absolutely recommend this manhwa to anyone who’s interested in comics! simply genius.

dude, this one gave me whiplash like craaaazy. still, i loved it! although, it came a point quite late in the story where i really struggled to continue reading. things turned out so depressing and soooo fucking toxic—more so than i ever would’ve thought when i first started out. (i guess i should’ve known, sheesh. just look at the damn title… looking back, there were soooo many red flags i missed.) nonetheless, in the end, i kept going… and i’m glad i did! i was reaaaally close to dropping this… for quite a few weeks, actually. but, as you know, i stuck with it and slowly adapted to the ‘fucked-up-slash-a-whole-lot-more-intense’ dynamic between our two mains. it kept things interesting, though—that’s for sure! i suppose i was just unprepared. (i’m not all that great with surprises.) still, the story had an overall nice conclusion! really, the wholesomeness of it actually surprised me a little bit. but throughout the manhwa, i did appreciate the realism of the characters’ personalities and how they both (i guess?) learned how to set healthy boundaries and respect each other in the end. but before that, it was nice seeing each of them come to their own individual realizations, grow and mature in their lonesomeness and then eventually get back together—stronger than ever—AFTER they’d worked on themselves and talked things out. aaaand, of course, i liked that their relationship wasn’t anything even REMOTELY close to perfect. but hey, at least they’d solidified a much stronger foundation for themselves than before, and they finally had a real shot at being happy because of it. this was the healthy BL romance i wanted at the start, but was unable to get ‘til the very end, haha! (‘healthy’ might be too strong of a word, but at least it turned into something could work for them in the long-run.) anyway!!! it’s been a good run. i’ll be looking forward to the upcoming side stories! edit: THIS SIDE-STORY IS LEGIT. SLAUGHTERING. MEEEEE. AAAAAHHHHHHHH!!! omfg, y’all… siwoo actually violated do-hyeok. like, FULL-ON SEXUAL. FUCKING. ASSAULT??? genuinely, i never would’ve foreseen this. what an epic, twisted role-reversal!!! it’s surprisingly exciting… and satisfying, heh. (karma, anyone…?) revenge sure tastes sweet, ahhhh. <33 that’s a genuinely fucked up thing to say, i’m well aware, but at the end of the day, i 100% know that park do-hyeok caused lee suha soooo much more damage, both physical & emotional, than seo siwoo EVER could’ve done him. what he had to suffer (?) through was NOTHING compared to all the vile things he did to suha; pre- & post-relationship. besides that, it’s not often you get to firsthand witness the infamously sadistic, ‘i’m-the-top-in-this-relationship’ villain slash ex-abuser get his asshole completely WRECKED by said ex’s best friend as a form of carnal retaliation. and apparently, the assault was satisfying enough for him to actually look him up afterwards to get want more of , too…? like, that is undoubtedly and irrevocably FUCKED, bro. so fucking wack, right?! well, anyway… it’s surely, uh… an ‘interesting’ way of discovering he actually enjoys (even PREFERS) being a bottom… and not only that, but a bottom who now forces himself to become completely submissive in bed and let another man fully dominate him in bed. ahhh, the mere notion of it excites me so!!! what really tickles my pickle, though, is the fact that do-hyeok is WILLINGLY doing this much for a man who 1) went uno-reverse and used his own predatory tricks against him, 2) drugged him, 3) violated him, and 4) then went incognito on him—during their very first meeting, no less! that’s a seriously crazy fucking thing to get so turned on about and i motherfucking know it. even more so because i actually know the background and their circumstances!!! i comprehend the true extent of these wicked relationships, and i have an in-depth understanding of the characters in question as well. shit, man—i’m speechless. and horny. heeeelp. lmfao, i should be ashamed of myself. i AM ashamed of myself. more than anything, though, i’m actually more than a little surprised by the direction the story’s taking. it’s like i’m being introduced to two completely new characters, haha! i love it, and i love this dynamic!!! they have surprisingly good chemistry. sexual compatibility, too! (bet no one could’ve anticipated that, lol.) P.S. right now, i’m over here QUIVERING at the mere notion of sporadically getting to see even one more round of this ‘hookup arrangement’ they’ve set in motion… like the sick fuck i am, goddammit. what’s next, i wonder? will they become romantically involved?? will suha and jiwoon figure it out??? or will they just continue to hate-fuck like bunnies in secret until they break it off and continue their lives like nothing ever happened???? fuck me if i know. what an incredible sticky (and needlessly sexy) situation they’ve got themselves in, heh. but either way, it’s an intriguing twist no one will ever see coming—no matter how you look at it!!! i’m all for any available routes heading towards a redemption arc, too, or even a FRACTION of a possibility of future reconciliation… and; well, character development—naturally. i can see the light, good sir!!! it’s shining so bright. <33 P.S.S. dear author, i beg of thee: PLEASE turn do-hyeok into a docile little lamb and let siwoo continue pulling the strings. i absolutely love to see it, and there’s so much unexpected potential in this union. so, so many possibilities… i’m so excited for the future of this story these days—i can’t help myself, lololol. all i know is that THE. SMUT. IT. TOP. NOTCH. QUALITY. and there’s no going back now. keep up the good work!!! P.S.S.S. my dear, (please-fuck-me-you’re-so-hot) siwoo, whom i used to look at so natively… KEEP WRECKING OUR TOXIC REDHEAD WITH YOUR MONSTROUS GENITALS, GOOD SIR. just like he wrecked our precious little suha for absolutely no acceptable reason whatsoever. ahhh, how poetic this is!!! keep doing just like that, darlin’. he loves it. you love it. and WE love to see it. <33 this is the kind of toxicity i yearn for, haha. …i can’t believe i’m actually ‘cheering’ for sexual violence. what have i become, hmm? oh, well… i really can’t help but to like siwoo’s character. he’s surprisingly enticing. and suave. and ATTRACTIVE!!! like, soooo fucking attractive it’s KILLINGGGG MEEEEE. god… :D #final edit: aww, everything’s officially over now… i’m upset by the ending for siwoo and do-hyeok, even though i know it’s the ending that makes the most sense. :( didn’t really expect an open ending like THIS, though… i wonder if there’ll be another side story? or perhaps a whole different story set a couple of years from now?? do-hyeok’s last monologue seems to kinda leave that option open, but i don’t know… maybe i just don’t want to see it end like this. ;/ which is 100% true, too, lol. anyway, i suppose that’s it! i’m just relieved i made it through this in one piece. didn’t really think i would at first, knowing how unnaturally attached to this latter couple i became… vey much unlike how things progressed with suha and jiwoon. quite odd, hmmm. despite everything, it’s definitely been a consistent 10/10 read, though! as always, i love the emotional complexity. <33 #final FINAL edit: OMFG. ANOTHER SIDE STORY. I’M SO EXCITED, HOLY SHIT.

ahhhh, they’re so fucking cute!!! edit: just finished reading chapter 83 and i most definitely still stand by my statement, lol. edit #2: we’re throoough, my dudesss!!! so lovely, no joke. this was one of the first comics i ever checked out on this website; way before i was even a registered member here. (it might even have been my very first yaoi comic.) my god, this is so nostalgic. i’ll definitely be rereading it someday! i hope there’ll be a few epilogue episodes, or possibly another side story or two! that’d be the cherry on top, truly. i’m fairly certain i’d be fine either way, lol. such a wholesome conclusion. <33 you guys should definitely check it out.
