Solo Leveling
This was a great read. Am glad to have made it to the end, although I'm not entirely sure it was as satisfying as I would have liked. Still a great read with well executed action and jokes that land along the way. The ultimate power fantasy, where romance isn't annoying or objectifying and keeps finding new ways of achieving that over powered high. If over powered protagonists don't bother you, then I highly recommend giving this a whirl.

I wish this was BL, I really wish this had been BL, it would have been so damn cute, especially when the plot was at a 'monster of the week' type of plot. This was great even though it wasn't a BL, and despite there not being romance and me wishing there was, it was still really good! I also kind of wish the executive and Sakae had interacted, though it is best that they didn't. Man that would have been a grudge match worth watching! Shame it wouldn't have worked for the plot. Like at all. Also, like everyone else has been saying, THAT ENDING!! TT-TT This adorable fun little series had no *business* making me cry as often as it did! ヽ(`Д´)ノ Fuck this was great!
The Woodsman and the Stag
This isn't offensive exactly, but it's kind of bland and needed more resolution then what was presented. The plot feels very half hearted with how it progresses, and the conflict isn't ever properly addressed through any sort of conversation. I thought there'd be smut, but there wasn't. All sex scenes were awkwardly cut away from, and the kisses were exceedingly tame. A murderer for hire gets abducted by a naive and demi-god who then kind of keeps him as a pet until the murderer manages to escape. For some reason, the demi-god falls in love with the murderer and decides to live on earth with him. Motives are horrendously underdeveloped, which is a shame, because the characters and setting are interesting to play around with, but the author manages to make it pretty boring. The art is good, but not enough to recommend a reading of this.
Cold-Blooded Beast
An employee is at some drinking establishment with his co-workers mourning their dead boss. He doesn't cry while he's with everyone, but on his way home he breaks down in tears. His dead boss then shows up out of the blue, seeming off and tired before promptly turning into a big black snake. The drunk crying employee is baffled, and then takes the snake home, because what else was he supposed to do?? After snake wakes up again he has no idea who the employee is, and the employee tries to take care of him anyway vaguely questioning his own sanity, but not letting that stop him. Snake occasionally turns into human form, but is still unable to talk or recognize his former employee. I jumped right in, but honestly I stopped at ch19. Nothing happens, snake man still hasn't remembered shit, and we have no idea what his deal is. Why he faked his death, why he went to find mc or what the heck is afflicting him. We get nothing in all those chapters. What we get is some sex scenes where the employee who is revealed to have had a massive crush on snake man, takes advantage of said snake man by jerking him off and stuff. Later snake man fucks him, but he has literally no reason to other then feeling vaguely horny. It made the sex scenes largely uncomfortable and frustrating because of the lack of plot. Found it way too boring to continue. The translation is good, and the art is nice, the snake is really cute, but omg did this story manage to make smut boring.
Blue Blood Vampire
Choppy as fuck, hard to follow, lost interest pretty quickly.
