Make Me Bark
Art Style - 9/10 - Better than most yaois, it’s fully colored and the art style is Plot - 5/10 - It’s ok, really predictable, but it’s sweet. Protagonist - 6/10 - Again, pretty typical yaoi protagonist, nothing too special. Love interest - 6/10 - Hot, but really predictable. Nothing special either. Overall - 5/10 - It’s extremely meh, everything about the plot is just way too predictable. Art’s pretty good tho.

Art style - 7.5/10 - Not bad, but they're lips kinda look weird to me. Plot - 8/10 - It's not a bad concept, I like the idea. I think it was executed as well as it could be, all I can say about the concept is ' I like it '. The plot itself is a littttttlllleee shitty. Tiny bit. I thought the ending felt really rushed. This manhwa was finished off while mangago was down, so I was able to binge read the last couple of episodes. I think the pacing was a little off, it might've been too fast for me, but not by much. Female Lead - 4/10 - She's such a doormat, I really don't like 'doormat please save me oppa' characters, she's the first doormat that I've read in a hot minute, and she just refreshed the reason why I hate them. Also I know it's a fantasy manhwa, but I can't fathom why a god would favor someone so much without a special reason why. Male Lead - 7/10 - He's aight. Not terrible, I like how much backstory he has. I like how he realizes how much she values him when he sees visions of our FL here trying to save him in different timelines. Overall - 7.5/10 - Well it certainly isn't awful, but has always been a story where I just read it and go, yknow? After reading it I didn't feel an emptiness, only a ' so now I got that out of the way '. I would recommend reading it when you don't have anything else to read. It develops enough excitement so you won't be bored while searching for another story.

Art style - 10/10 - The art style was comparable to promo manhwas- it was absolutely stunning and added the right amount of detailing to the characters. Plot - 6/10 - Let's just say that the reader didn't play or know of the story of the game. The reader would still find this manhwa a little boring. I have actually played the game, and I'm deeply disappointed that the story became so dull in this adaptation. WHERE THE HELL IS SAERAN?? What about the whole green eye thing? ISN'T HANA GOING TO TELL THE REST OF THE RFA THAT RIKA IS INDEED ALIVE??? Why did Hana just instantly change her mind who she wants to be in a relationship with like a day or two AFTER SHE CONFESSED TO ZEN THAT SHE LIKED HIM. HE SAID THAT HE LIKED HER TOO. TF. Also saying that Saeyoung is the closest RFA member to her is a complete lie. You literally met him later than other RFA members ( that's not really a problem, but he was really secretive with stuff then so there was no development between the two ) and the only time you had a deep convo with him is that ONE TIME YOU TALKED ABOUT YOUR CHILDHOOD. ONE DAMN TIME, GIRL!!! The story built up the friendly relationship Hana had with the rest of the RFA fine, I wouldn't say it was the most realistic considering they were all overly kind? Idk, it's been a hot minute since I played MM, but still the story built up the fact that HANA AND ZEN LIKED EACH OTHER. I'm not a Zen stan or anything, but just throwing away this build up for this LAST MINUTE THING is stupid. I really like Saeyoung too... WTF. All and all, this story was like eating vanilla ice cream without the vanilla. It looks appealing, but the experience is simply too plain. Female Lead - 6/10 - Hana's nice. Not terrible, but not a shitty character either. She has a back story and really considers her friends in the RFA. Idk why the guys liked her so much, to me she's a really surface level character. Male Lead - 6.5/10 - Saeyoung is so much more than that. WHERE'S HIS TWIN BROTHER? Saeran is my favorite character! The story barely depicted his story or the depth in his character. I know that this story probably had to end at set amount of episodes so complaining about not having as much depth in the characters is probably the most ' well ok obviously but there's not enough time ' thing I could complain about still. We know so much about Zen, why not Seven? If Seven's the ML why do we know way more about the secondary male lead? Overall - 6/10 - I'm going to be honest, the reason why I suffered through this plain ass story is because it's based off of MM and the art style is immaculate. It's more content for the game, but I'm pretty sure a fan's adaptation would've been ten times better. They should've focused more on the story and not the art, although the art is UGHHGGGG SO GOOD. All and all, if you've played the game, I'd recommend reading this when you don't have to pay too much attention to the manhwa. If you're really focused on it, you'll get bored, so maybe read it in class? That's what I did at least. Play the game if you like the concept of the story, but not the execution!
