What an odd story. I don't have much to say about this, but I do wish it was longer. I wanted more of the plot and characters, and overall more depth to the entire thing, but it is meant to be a short story and nothing more.

This one shot manages to catch the readers attention instantly. The plot was really interesting, and I wish it was longer. Having man show up in your dreams, who kills your friends and family, is really disturbing, but what makes it worse is that the victims are dead in real life too. There are refecerences/actual suicides happening, so proceed with caution.

You go into expecting one thing, which turns out to be completely off the mark. This was so weird, and I'm not exaggerating. I couldn't take the plot or concept seriously at first, but I was so intrigued that I had to keep reading. This manwha has great plot twists, and great representation of codependency and possessiveness. It explores so many interesting topics of happiness and greed, and it was truly a unique eperience getting to read this without knowing anything at all. The ending had me staring at the wall for a while.

I really liked this short story, and wanted it to be so much longer. The characters' dynamic was very entertaining, and the plot also seemed really captivating. Something about "Bodygaurd x Actor" does it for me.

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.

This is an odd one. I didn't really know what to expected, but it certainly wasn't the raging daddy issues. Honestly, this is more sad than anything else. A people pleaser not knowing how to say no, and a young adult with no strong parental figure, taking advantage of that. I dropped rather quickly.

This is absolutely shameless, and fits the definition of porn without plot. I didn't know what expect going into this, but it wasn't this. Sometimes, I go into things blindly and end up reading things like this. I ended up dropping it because it doesn't suit my tastes at all. If you want a story with kinky and shamelessly smut, while also questioning all your life choices and sanity at the same time, this is for you.

This story has a very interesting concept--the espers and guides--and was really intriguing. The element of suspense is everything, and I really like how the story and the plot slowly comes together. As a reader, you get everything revealed alongside the MC, which I personally enjoyed. However, while it explores important themes--oppression, dehumanisation and codependency--the ending was abrupt and rushed. I don't think it's actually finished.

This is certainly something else. It is basically a story that showcases what Stockholm syndrome and brainwashing looks. I will say that those parts make things interesting, and while there's a little plot development, the story mainly consists of filthy, smutty scenes.

The MC's boyfriend has a secret: he turns into a monster during Christmas. This is both wholesome and smutty as hell. The plot is not rushed, or leaves any big questions in the end, though it may surprise some people if they go in blind. This is a short story that works.
