The Man in the Mirror
this was so good i want more of them ackkkk <3 the plot is so perfect omfg im obsessed with this the plot felt so poetic and deep but at the same time it was light and fun to read the author really emphasized the mirror and its deeper meaning within the story which i liked ❣ i really love their dynamic >< i love how shaal's not the jerk type of king, hes just a lonely soul :( but now he finally found his happiness in sal ㅠㅠ i mean both of them were lonely and trapped, they both had big responsibilities to shoulder so im glad that now theyre facing those burdens together and living happily i just love it whenever shaal says encouraging words to sal ╥﹏╥ hes so freaking supportive and caring, everyone needs a shaal in their lives he never fails to compliment sal in whatever he does ^^ i love them so much ☹️ the last part made me really emotional, just looking at their happy faces gave me a serotonin boost (❁´◡`❁) they deserved it :( overall this was such a great story, its so hard to find mangas with plots like this im glad i got to read this !!! the plot was so good, it had some humour in it, there was drama and conflicts (but it wasnt the frustrating type), the pacing was in the middle like it was kind of slow but not that slow (if you get what i mean) idk what else to say bc i just really love this >< i was hoping to see an extra but the ending was so satisfying that im ok with it the art was absolutely stunning all of the characters look gorgeous !!! i also love dark skinned characters i just think they look amazing esp with how good the art style is everything abt this was so good !! this was such a great read <3 will prolly reread it !!
Call Me Before Dawn
☆ since this was a very short one i'll just give my thoughts hehe ^^ i put it in my diamond tag bc this is a hidden gem <33 the plot is very interesting and unique !! i've never seen a crossover between agents with magical armors and half-breed agents :> for 4 chapters, it was definitely jam packed ^^ though there were still a ton of questions left behind, i think that's normal since you can't really put everything in 4 chapters :)) i still liked it a lot though ♡ the translation was quite confusing towards the end but i'm not complaining or anything its just that a better translation would've conveyed the story better since there were confusing dialogues~ overall this was really good for a short manhua <33 the plot had a lot in it and the ending was cute i'm curious if the black haired guy (idk how to write their names ) has aged since he already met the half-breed agent when he was little, its probably just the art style but he looks the same to me lol but anyway its cute and i liked the story ♡ i for sure would've loved a longer version of this too~ the art style is very pretty as well this was a short but great read !!

Haunted by Desire
omfg idek what to say PLEASE I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THIS ㅠㅠ it was so freaking good :')) my emotions went on a rollercoaster ride bc of how intense this was it had everything from supernatural to wholesome to more drama and angst :'DD but don't worry it ends really well !! might be one of my favorite endings (╥﹏╥) i just want to scream and rant about dohui PLEASEEEE this man needs to get more appreciation !!!! i must admit it was very red flag of him to make that deal with the ghosts but i mean the man was in love and we all know what love does to you :'> but the important thing is he atoned for his sins by protecting seongjae from all harm, staying with him until his last breath, waiting for him to get reincarnated for more than 2000 years LET ME REPEAT THAT 2000 YEARS (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `), after that he waited for another 20 years and finally he got to hold seongjae in his arms :')) like i can't stop thinking abt how hard that must've been, to see the love of your life die and to wait for him for hundreds of centuries until he gets reincarnated + he didn't remember their old memories :'< i think that was enough punishment for what he had done in the past and i really commend him for that >< he's up there in my green flag list, literally raised my standards for everyone :'> i have a lot more to say esp with how he treats seongjae, the little things he does for him ㅠㅠ he always pays attention to the smallest details and he always prioritizes him above everything, even his own life i can write a whole ass essay abt dohui but imma just keep it in my heart :DD i admire their relationship, the mutual pining in the beginning was a bit frustrating bc of course i just wanted them to confess to each other but it had the right pacing so i had no problems with that ^^ they had great communication and there wasn't any misunderstanding, drama whatsoever between their relationship which is why i'm just obsessed with what they have >< seongjae is a ball of sunshine, very precious and i just love him :(( they both care for each other and you can really feel how much they love and treasure each other ㅠㅠ tbh i have a lot more to rant abt their relationship but i still have more to talk about so i'll be moving on to the next couple hehe~ so for sooyeon and beom, tbh their relationship from the historical era was not that appealing for me bc i'm not into that kind of dynamic esp with its incestuous side to it, but i still did get attached to them esp when sooyeon was already a ghost and all :> their modern relationship was still a bit disturbing bc they did have an age gap and they were yet again siblings but the difference is that beom was adopted so they were not really related and he also went to the states to study so they didn't grow up together but idk something abt step siblings and age gaps makes it kind of disturbing for me esp when they're both present in one relationship but i still liked their story so it was fine :)) lastly, the king and joohwan, tbh i wanted them to end up together but i think the king deserved that treatment bc he took joohwan for granted :(( i think that's the punishment that he'll be going through for the rest of his ghost life lol but i mean maybe modern joohwan would end up getting feelings for him at some point we'll never know~ but i do like their dynamic, they have a fun and chaotic dynamic i love it overall this was such an amazing read !! literally in love with everyone and their stories <33 i absolutely love the ending for all couples esp with our main couple of course >< dohui deserved that so much esp with how much he had gone through ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that he won't experience seeing seongjae die before his eyes knowing he can't go with him afterwarda :')) i'm legit just so happy for them bc they can finally rest and live happily without any ghosts bothering them (´ω`) i also love the new king of the underworld >< he's very classy and kind ^^ i also love how sang-il was a part of the gang and how he also got reincarnated as seongjae's best friend (╥﹏╥) ugh idk what more to say, this was a masterpiece !! <33 definitely worth to binge ^0^ the art style is immaculate !! every single one of them are gorgeous i'm obsessed and in love with all of them this was such a worth it read !! i also recommended this to my friends and even ranted abt it on twitter bc they deserve the recognition ❣️
Shikijo
this rating and tags are for the twins' part of the story bc the other story towards the end wasn't for me like i'm sorry but it was so toxic it kind of resembles the parents of the twins' story when they first got together which was hello very toxic :')) i didn't read much into the last part but ig good for them idk ㅠㅠ their relationship is very complicated to say the least :'> anyway the twins' story was just adorable i mean hello its children so of course it was gonna be wholesome and adorable lol~ the parents turned into a great couple and of course great parents too ^^ sensei and takao also were adorable and great guardians for the twins !! i rated it a 4 bc of the last story like i wish that wasn't included and that the whole book just focused on the kids' development but that's just an opinion so yeaaa it was okay :)) i like this author's art style bc its like the classic sharp manga art style !! (my fave) this was a good read !!
Daniel's Very Personal Villain
this was pretty goooood !! the plot is so unique ^0^ its my first time reading about bl superheroes their dynamic is so cute and i'm also obsessed with the superhero x villain but the villain is more innocent and cute >< i love how their relationship started out as friends and we really got to see how their love developed !! this is a fantasy bl but their relationship is very realistic (≡^∇^≡) they have such an ideal relationship, they have good communication and they're just overall adorable :> i think it had a good balance between their love and the conflict but it did focus more on the conflict :DD but i still enjoyed it ^0^ jose was also not that annoying ex-bf, i'm glad he acknowledged his wrongs and he apologized to daniel :)) overall it was pretty good !! kept me hooked, i had the urge to finish it all in one sitting :DD i really enjoyed reading this while i was sick <33 also i'm glad that dan's mom apologized and accepted his son for who he is >< all of the side characters esp dan's coworkers are so funny and kind :> i also love that they invited their friends and we got to see them have a proper wedding ^0^ their dynamic was filled with comedy which make me like it even more >< the art style's very pretty too !! this was a great and funny read !!
