July's manga / #Smut(91)

Ugh, another trashy BL webtoon. I didn't like the work by the same author called Hide & Seek, and this one is quite possibly even worse than that one. I don't know why they even bothered to use a K-Pop setting because it has nothing to do with that industry at all. There's supposed to be 7 members in the band, but they're all so unimportant, that we never get to know their names and no one has any personality. Also, everyone basically looks the same. Why even bother having a 7-member band if you're not going to utilize those characters. This could have just been a K-Pop duo and not much would have changed in terms of plot. Dumb as hell. Avoid.

Absolutely awful webtoon. The art is alright, not the best, but absolutely wasted on this trash. The story (or lack thereof) is that two childhood friends become friends with benefits by exploring each other's bodies every night. It's very gross and disgusting, not romantic at all. And it's not because I haven't read other stories with dark or disturbing themes, it is just done in a distasteful manner. The female lead acts like she is so pure but she's leading the clueless male lead on. The male lead seems to be mentally delayed... It really reminds me of this TV drama I watched a long time ago where a guy fell in love with a mentally challenged girl and they had kids together, and it was super controversial because the audience considered it to be sexual violation of a minor (since she had the mind of a child). This is very similar to what it is happening here. The male lead is very, very child-like and doesn't understand basic concepts, and I can't believe he can function in normal society, much less hold a job. And while the TV drama I mentioned had its issues, at least the romance was at least plausible. There's no romance here, it just skips basically to lust and sex, although they haven't actually had penetrative sex yet, but it's leading up to it. And the author tries to brush it all under the table, having the female lead say that the male is actually quite intelligent, despite the way he speaks. Uh no, you can't do that, because he's never proven himself to be clever or smart or even normal. It even makes a point every chapter to show how abnormal he is! Avoid like the plague!

Very trashy omegaverse BL, with lots of unrealistic smut scenes. The male lead has a ridiculously feminine body with humongous bubble butt that annoys me every time I see it, and some of the sex positions are literally impossible. It hurts my eyes and my brain to look at it. Is he a contortionist? All the characters are not likeable nor well-written, and the male lead and his male love interest fall in love way too fast, with almost no conflict. Avoid.

Male lead is an idiot, I don't care if he's a supposed genius hacker, because he brings nothing to the table, so he's a dumbass in my book. I liked the idea of not being to understand each other, but it's not used properly, since he soon encounters two people who coincidentally speak Japanese, which I find improbable. There's no real love between the two men, it's just trashy smut in every chapter. Avoid.

This BL is trash. It's not romantic and it's not dark either, so it's failed to even satisfy one of these two criteria that I deem necessary for good BL. The split personality of the male main character is poorly used and lame trick often seen in other media. The bodyguard male lead is boring and flat. Very awful and mediocre webtoon. It teases that the bodyguard character will have sexual/romantic relationship with both personalities, but that's not the case at all. He only likes the blue eyed ego and not the red eyed one, which is false advertising. There was so much fuss about some jewel, but then the end resulted in everyone giving up the search for it. Really dumb, since the semblance of plot just died right there.

Season 1 of this webtoon was pretty good, but Season 2 is trash. I don't like any of the new characters, and I don't even like the old characters in the new season. Quality went super downhill. It's just lots of porn without plot now. Sigh. Terrible.

The art is decent, but I dislike all the characters. The plot is almost non-existent, and it's just an excuse for the two guys to have sex with each other in non-interesting ways. The author introduced another male character to create some conflict, but the story moves so slowly, he might as well not have been written in in the first place. I don't buy any of the romances that have been set in the story so far. The webtoon basically ended with the two original guys getting together, and the extra third wheel guy didn't even have a chance to do anything, so he was just a useless extra. And in the side stories, the extra character gets raped by an extra extra. Sigh.

Typical blackmail forced sex pornhwa, lots of stupid sex scenes. None of the characters are well written, there is no plot, and the art is polarizing. The female is drawn well, and so are the backgrounds, but all the males are so ugly. The art is clean and shaded properly, but it's like the artist made huge efforts to make the males as ugly as possible. Last chapter is Chapter 46, I've read it to the end, and nothing really changes. The female never truly escaped from her situation, it's just the man blackmailing her who has been swapped.

It's pretty awful and the art is not that great. Story is nonsensical and I don't know why the two male leads are attracted to each other.

I love, love, love the art style of this webtoon. It's very stylized, like a watercolor brush painting and that makes the art nerd in me jump for joy. Story is ok, but very slow-paced. I don't really feel much love for any of the characters but it's interesting enough to keep reading.
