verlaayne's manga / #stunning art(9)

10/10 great plot great characters great worldbuilding reminds me of the dragon prince somehow

only 1 chapter english release has been delayed :( really gorgeous characters

6/10 this is one of those manhwa where you think you like it more than you actually do. don't really like any of the characters. art is really pretty though. oh to be hae su. ju won is so possessive and for what.

8/10 the og. first bl i read i think? re-read it again (oct 2020) and it did hold up however -- how DG almost left him forever and then went crawling back. did jiwoon realllllly change? it appears so but because of the timeskip we don't see the development and it comes across as sudden and therefore unbelievable. hot as shit though. except for the piss kink scene out of nowhere.

7/10 when they use rape as plot device >:((( the art is gorgeous, stunning, majestic. more more more. seme is top asshole. i don't care that he has the feels now. he's rotton.

8/10 lgbtq twins! fem top! gorgeous art! what more do you want.

8/10 ok ok i know i said no abo. but this was something a bit special, alright? the aspects that skeeve me out about abo (the lack of consent, the rigid societal roles) are, to certain degrees, less present in this manhwa. consent is always explicit between the mc's, the protagonist himself defies the societal roles but isn't ashamed that he is an omega.

8/10 ok maybe i'm stupid but i honestly thought the dude was married. felt icky finishing it up, then read the comments and realised. re-read it immediately, and damn. he's held a torch for him for so long! adorable. the art is gorgeous.

8/10 oooof this one kinda hurt. it was gorgeous and seeing the omega's love for his daughter was inspiring, and then the alpha's all-encompassing love for them both and everything about them. the couple is so sweet, i'm just not fond of rape as a plot device in general.
