Never Understand
so good! i think it was a little slow in the middle, especially w the main couple w jaerim rejecting yuri and the whole ex prez arc bc it got repetitive, but before and after that whole section, it was really really good! i actually really liked the side couples, though ik a lot of people didnt like them. tbh they were very complex, and thats what made them so good despite still somewhat unrealistic. the first side couple resolved their issues too quickly imo, but their fluff was so cute that i wish we got more of them. the second one w the ex prez and vice prez is the only frustrating one bc we never got a proper conclusion or even understanding of their relationship. i really liked aerak and heeno, even if their relationship was built on one-sided resentment and trauma. it really made me think abt how i would feel if i was in aeraks position, and i only grew to love them to this extent in the very last panel of the the very last chapter, i adored it. fuck that random bitch and fuck her henchman too idc. i dont think he raped jaerim but i think he unquestionably assaulted him. the main couple were great - again it was so slow at the beginning but i really enjoyed seeing jaerim slowly fall in love and yuri get over his demons. the art is really pretty and there were so many hilarious reactions from all the characters. the art is what made it what it is and also - no wonky translations!! its rare but truly a gift i didnt know was so satisfying. ALSO - i was expecting some smut damn. i realize that though i dont like when the plot is 50% smut, i do enjoy a pinch of it in every story. it wouldve been nice to see yuri and jaerim, especially bc he was assaulted :( i'll always love pure angst and fluff too tho. the message was really good and deep too. i really enjoyed it and i think i might reread, maybe? no real urgency but it was a fun time! 9/10
Golden Sparkle
so cute! i loved the concept of this before i read it and it turned out just as good as i was expecting! the idea of a boy who literally knows nothing about sex and having to learn it all while simultaneously falling in love w his friend is such a big brain plot. it was super refreshing and i love the art. ah jeez i wish it was longer, these stories are always so short. the top was such a sweetie too, we love feminist men. i liked it a lot tbh enough to place it in my top list i think. 8/10
Spring Snow (Odongtong) Webtoon
yknow, i went into this knowing it would be sad, and i really enjoyed it a lot, but for some reason i'm not sad. i think its bc he died while fulfilling his dreams and they were able to have a proper goodbye. its upsetting that he loved him, but he also chose to adventure in the world even while knowing that he wouldnt be with his lover, so that was a decision he made. ofc no one expects that theyll die, but i think it was a less painful ending than if he had died after falling off the roof. still, this is so good for smth thats only 3 chapters. i enjoyed it! 8/10
You're My Princess
hahaha i was totally expecting the other guy to be the bottom this is the first time ive seen a smaller top. it fits their personalities but not their physiques lol. but this was cute! i love this "ultra softie with a resting bitch face that scares everyone except for that one person who can see past their reputations for the lovable cutie they are" trope. ive literally read 3 of them in the past 2 days. but this was fun, albeit too short. 6/10
Tadatada Suki to Iu Dake de

Bukiyo Na Bokura No Sukima

Boy Meets Maria
this was honestly a little too deep for my brain to comprehend at the moment but i liked it nonetheless. im happy there was a happy ending and arima was able to confront his demons. the teacher that raped him shouldve gotten his balls sliced off and forcefed to him that was so disgusting.
