July's manga / #Smut(91)

It's a little better than the average BL webtoon, but not by much. I gave it an extra star since it does have a suspenseful atmosphere, and it's building slowly towards something, rather than jumping straight into pure smut. There's some semblance of an underlying plot, and the characters are not cringey, yet. The art is only average, but it does excel when it comes to the horror nightmare scenes. I don't like how this webtoon romanticizes smoking. Smoking is bad for you, don't make it appealing... I know it's a big part of Korean culture, but it doesn't help to keep promoting it like it's a good thing.

They want you to think it has something to do with tennis, but it has nothing to do with tennis. It's just shameless smut without any plot or set up. I don't even know who any of the characters are. Even the smut isn't drawn in a sexy way. Pass.

I love the breaking of the fourth wall here, it's pretty unique. I hope it doesn't devolve into shameless and plot-less smut in the future. I was very entertained by the male lead's raging at his own fate, it's a little different from isekai, so I find it hilarious and refreshing to read about it. The panelling is good, and flows well. Art is also not bad.

I appreciate it being uncensored, it looks very clean overall in early chapters. Art is alright, but I realized this author draws all the men the same. These two male leads look almost exactly like the ones in Blood Link. There's no story at all yet, just lots of smut in each chapter. Not sure what they're going for here since there's so little to read. It's a little bit better than most BL webtoons out there, but not by much. Update: Nevermind, everything gets worse with each chapter. The plot is nonsensical, something about the rich guy sleeping with a random dude so to get revenge on his father for cheating on his mother which lead to her suicide, and the gangster guy is love with a dead guy. I don't even know. The chapters are too dark in the recent ones with the new translator, and no longer uncensored.

The art is really good in this manhua, it's pretty graphic in various aspects, so it's not right for everyone. There's a lot of rape and blood, etc, which will turn most people off. I like dark things like this though, so it doesn't bother me. It's too bad this has been dropped, better off reading the novel. Marking as completed since there won't be any new chapters.

Classic Stockholm Syndrome with BL and lots of smut. It was decent, I enjoyed the uncensored parts. However, the plot was all over the place and none of the characters were likeable, nor did they have any depth to them. It was a ok read, but I wouldn't read it again. Nothing new to the genre, and it's not extreme or unsettling enough to warrant extra thought on it.

It's completely ridiculous, but still funny. The female lead is a BL mangaka and fujoshi and fantasizes about the men in her workplace in various sexual situations, but she's about to be fired until she can properly draw a man's penis. And one of her ideal male co-workers does comply with her request, and shows her his penis... Wacky fun times abound. It's not a good manga, but it did make me laugh with the two chapters that are available. Unfortunately, the third chapter goes downhill real quick.

Art is quite good, it gives a 1900's feel. Premise is male lead is in a complicated family where he's abused by his father, and he wants to bring him down by becoming a male prostitute. The man who solicits him has a grudge against the male lead's older half brother, so they join forces and have lots of sex. Convoluted plot shenanigans abound. The best part is the art, but I'm not too fond of the other stuff. It's just not compelling to read, since it's hard to sympathize with these characters.

Very dark and delicious, it shows the mental breakdown of a strong-minded character in a convincing way. Mind break is great when done right, and this is one of those rare times. It's pretty disturbing, so it won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Hijikata gets stuck in a wall and raped by a group of men. This mangaka likes to abuse Hijikata a lot, but I think it's done well. Something comedic turned dark very fast. I only wish there was more.
