Our First Day

Complete | Tan geum | 2019 released

This story was okay, but nothing more than that. I didn't find it particularly interesting, but the age gap between the characters is done in a nice way that doesn't depicts one of them as a creep. I didn't like the art very much either, but that is just personal preference. It did ruin the reading experience a little, though.

Crash Into Me

Complete | Re-run | 2019 released

This was an intense story about guilt, acceptance and forgiveness. It involves a character being haunted by their past, and thinking they deserve being treated unfair as well as being abused. I didn't expect it to be this dark, so proceed with caution. Fortunately, the story has a happy ending and the abuser is dealt with accordingly, but was still very hard to get through at certain times.

Vagabond

Ongoing | Inoue Takehiko | 1998 released

This is an attention-grabbing story with interesting plots and characters. The art style is, perhaps, one of the most beautiful ones I've seen. I'm very excited to see where the story is headed, and how each respective character grows.

Roses and Champagne

Complete | Zig , fat | 2019 released

I have many mixed feelings about this. The plot and the pacing started out perfectly, and the story has a sense of slow burn that I grew to like quickly. While the characters and the overall progression of the story was done well, the acts of sexual assault was not expected or appreciated---that unfortunately ruined the remainder of the story for me. To end this on a good note, I will say that Lee Won is the coolest character of them all.

Trap Trap

Complete | Ichika | 2000 released

A story about overcoming personal fears and letting go of toxic people that don't want the best for you. I was sceptical at first, but the progression of the story and plot got me hooked. It was very interesting too see how the MC develops and tries to deal with some of his issues, while also having the right support system to help him. Very happy that I read until the end.

Full volume

Complete | 알버트,albert,양은지,yang eun ji | 2019 released

I loved this very much. The characters' dynamic is so lovely throughout the story. Dowon's devotion to help Beom, while continuously showing his love and determination, is absolutely to die for. Both of them have detailed backstories that tie very well into the people have become. I love how Beom has a support system even though he's convinced that he needs to handle this on his own. At the same time, I love it when Dowon didn't pressure Beom into a relationship or into admitting his feelings.

Can't Think Straight

Ongoing | Pangin, Hudadak | 2000 released

This was a rollercoaster. There are so many feelings and conflicts happening in this story, but also so much development and growth. I was sceptical at first, mainly because one of the main characters is homophobic, and while it does get better, it does take a while. This is a slowburn, guys.

Dear Benjamin 1.5

Complete | Id,Top jung | 2019 released

A story about mysteries, secrets and breaking and regaining trust. This story has so many interesting plotlines, and they all tie together so nicely. The readers have the chance to put the pieces together, and try to solve the various mysteries that are occurring in this story. I was left with my mouth open during multiple instances, especially in relation to Isaac and his past, but also about where the plot was headed in general. Would recommend.

ANTI P.T.

Complete | Lee Gpiee | 2000 released

I don't usually read about love triangles, but this story manages to do it well. The progression of the plot was fine and interesting enough, but there are instances in the story that I don't like---Param's first time at the club, Hwi's friend being obnoxious and how Param treated Hwi. It was average but certainly not a bad experience when reading about love triangles. Could have been worse.

Love Shuttle

Complete | Im Ae-Ju | 2000 released

I had heard many thing about this story, but I found my reading experience to be average at most. The main couple was interesting to read about, especially when looking at their development and how they get more and more comfortable around each other. The side pairing had potential, but everything was executed poorly in my opinion.
