badx's manga / #School Life(16)

| 4 STARS | writing this review now because i didnt when i read it but yeah this was just a wholesome shounen ai about nakamura who has a crush and needs to "go for it"!

| 2 STARS | DROPPED yeahh naw.. like i wasted a good amount of time reading this got up to like chapter 45 but all the characters are dumb and the entire reason i started reading this is because i heard the ml was cutely obsessive but hes NOT EVEN THE ML he literally gets left behind :( so massive L and the story completely nosedives after ch 20

| 4 STARS | so obv back to school is a classic this is like at least my 4th time rereading it and it always hits hard but even thought I love it the story gets so unsatisfying after jihyun gets left behind :( i will always truly wish that jihyun and chiwoo were endgame because I like them so much more than kyujin and chiwoo (although jihyun did fumble the bag astronomically bad I still like him) anyway 4 stars would be 5 if it was jihyun instead

| 3 STARS | i mean this in full definition of the word "mid" like the official meaning its not super good its not bad its mid like the characters seem so fake they're all like npc's but for some reason I kept this in my tabs for a while while trying to read it so I just got up to the official translations but idk if I'll ever read the updates of this again so this might be the last time I interact with this lol anyway overall 3 stars because mid

| 2.5 STARS | yo i thought this would be interesting at the beginning but they put this in a terrible direction the story was hard to follow the characters were rlly confusing and not fleshed out and the abilities were super dumb aswell like for some reason the emperor penguin guys ice ability takes water molecules from the air but no other bird ability was explained scientifically so that was obviously only done to nerf him also when i checked the newer chapters there is LITERALLY AI GENERATED panels like hello thats the first time ive seen that (i even put it in a detector and it said it was AI) so thats crazy and made me rate it even lower overall MID idk why I put time into this

| 5 STARS | honestly rlly love its so epic the dynamics are EVERYTHIngg obviously this story isnt exactly wholesome its literally by parkgee and its pretty similar to suicide boy from the mc's traits like being a shota and having wide hips and thighs but I definitely like Il-taks personality way more than Hooni's (even though hes lowkey homophobic as are most of the characters so thats a big story obstacle) and his life isnt as depressing though its not rlly good either also the bully from this story (hyung-goo) who is also a love interest looks super similar to the one from suicide boy lol there is definitely slow-burn in a unique way like the main pair (Il-tak x Hyunwoo) haven't done anything yet but hyun-goo on on the other hand has groped il-tak among other things (no sex yet ch. 47) it is definitely a love triangle(?) (im starting to think its gonna be a square because in one of the cover arts theres a person in the backround that hasn't be introduced yet so im rlly excited for that) which i love like even though hyun-goo is like a huge dickhead I still love the dynamic toxic pairs are epic anyway finally il-taks sister Iyeon is so great love her so much she is so real and her love goes wayyy beyond platonic lol overall lovely so exciteddd
