Bloody Sweet
Art style - 8/10 - I like it’s uniqueness! Really cute, fits well because it’s sharp yet soft. Really reflects the storyline well. Plot - 7/10 - I quite liked it! I’m a bit of a sucker for cheese, so maybe I’m a little bias here hehe. I only read the girl arc, not the man arc. Female Lead - 9/10 - I really relate to her story, except I’m still ugly even if I cut my bangs or whatever lol. I liked her arc a lot, she had some major positive improvements her mindset. Male Lead - 5/10 - I’m giving him such a score purely because I haven’t really seen his arc, and during the FL arc he seemed very superficial and was only there to make her seem cool because she had a hot vampire boyfriend. I don’t plan on reading his arc unfortunately.. Overall - 8.5/10 - I don’t hate it, I think I would reread the FL’s arc again in the future. Maybe I’ll get around to the ML arc if I’m extremely bored.
Candy Man
Art Style - 5/10 - Eh. Just Eh. Nothing extraordinary, nothing terrible. Plot - 5/10 - Plot can only be described as mid. Protagonist - 4/10 - I don’t like the fact that he pretended to be a girl to get gifts, and he’s such a pushover with things that don’t include Kimin. Love interest - 3/10 - Too clingy, very toxic, even his looks don’t save him sis. Kimin is just a bit TOO much. Overall - 4/10 - It’s decent, but just barely. Idk it gets boring super quickly, especially near the end. It’s not terrible though so if you do happen to stumble upon Candy Man, I wouldn’t spew comments about how bad it is. I’d probably just tell you it’s extremely mid.
Annarasumanara Manhwa
Art Style - 11/10 - I’m not really relying especially on skill here, I’m looking at the fact that the artist made the comic mostly black and white for a reason. The world being dull and the tid bits of childlike innocence brought beautiful hints of color to the panels was an exceptional idea to contrast the blandness of the world against the joy brought from real happiness. This style of color can help the readers easily understand the message the author is trying to convey. Plot - 9/10 - I really liked the plot, but the ending really killed me, and I was heavily disappointed. The ‘silent majority’ mindset contrasting with the magician’s creatively pure way of thinking created a deep plot point. Female Lead - 9.5/10 - I kinda didn’t like her at the beginning, but I do see where she’s coming from. In the end, something she worked up to believe was bad in her childhood she did when she became an adult. Male Lead - 9/10 - I can’t give him a 10 for a certain reason that I’d spoil everything, but he’s absolutely lovable. I wanted to protect him from everything while reading this. His whole thing about not wanting to become a “ real adult “ made me think about society. Overall - 9.5/10 - I still can’t forgive the ending, so I just can’t bring myself to mark this as a 10/10. It’s a beautiful and short story, I highly recommend to read this in one sitting.
