Two Empires, The Slave Of The Empire

Complete | | 2019 released

just sped through the chapters because I was getting confused as to why the art style seemed to change every milisecond per chapter AND was getting bored of the same old shit they be doing. Gonna read this again and give yall my opinion on it because, tbh, its interesting enough to read and stick around because I wanna see what happens to the blonde boi. (42) ——— Ok, I just finished reading the whole manhwa and WOOO can I say that I love it. Albeit yes, there are a minimal amount of plotholes like the decisions of several characters that sometimes don’t make sense in the situation but that’s just about it. I love the dynamic portrayal of Ray, Jiskar, and the the two knights. The world building in itself needs more time to be understood but with the information given about it, I can say it does a great job answering questions I have about this particular historical timeline. The slow burn is also not too slow and fast for my liking, the utter desperation, arrogance, and confusion Ray shows each chapter is funny, interesting, yet pitiful to read. You would think that after seeing everything Ray has gone through, I would wish for him to escape, and yes I do, but what then? He has nothing other than the Palace of El Fascher and Jiskar. His slave parents wont do shit for him and claiming he reincarnated from a alleged dead prince is basically treason. Staying with Jiskar for months on end, despite the rocky meeting they had, its obv that both of them have fallen in love in a sense, they just dont realize it or would not rather say to secure the dignity of both of them. I hated Jiskar before but I kinda like him now, Ray is a quite the fellow but I also understand where hes coming from and seeing how his personality shows, I can guarantee I kinda relate to him, and the two knights with him all the time (I forgot their names) are pretty cool too, I love their dynamic and how they warmed up to Ray despite him being a mere slave. Anddd the Empress and Crown Price + the Count are also good antagonists yet their petty reasoning is what throws me off but hey, its realistic, I also like how we can start to see character development within the Crown Prince. Anyways, the last two chapters were a whirlwind of angst. I mean, its basically a scandal that a mere concubine threatened to take the life of the Emperor, of course it leaves people speculating, gossiping, and worrying about the future of the kingdom regarding the decision they were to make on how to handle Ray. Jiskar is, rightfully, frustrated at the fact that not only is the person who has been close for months, maybe love, and own, has now been ousted as the person who committed treason and is making him the reason for people to believe in making him go bonkers. The council meeting proves this when the heads of the 3 main families and some other men have questioned the emperors sanity and decisions for the kingdom. Its practically sabotage and lies being piled onto each other but the mere fact is that Ray needs to die seeing as how he has the power to ruin the kingdom if he had the resources to do so. Now, Ray, like man, I get how he hesitated and I get why hes blaming himself when he couldve left, but again, what then? He wont be able to do shit after he leaves anyways so might as well have obeyed and keep putting up his petty slave image. But yeah, its sucks for him honestly now that hes been dropped by the only source that has protected him throughout the duration of his time in the kingdom, Jiskar. I also hate how we dont know how old he is but its obv hes a minor judging from the protrayal of his body and the trigger warnings put up on chapters, that being said, he got raped, tortured, and interrogated for information which obv befitting for a traitor and the treason he did, BUT GOD IT STILL SUCKS CUZ as readers, we wouldve wanted to see him healthy and staying by Jiskar’s side. Now the suprise here is that, White haired kinght and red haired knight’s talk about Ray suprised me because it never dawned on me if WHK would romantically like Ray out of all the people to pick from, but its still undetermined so lets leave it at that. Overall, even if its not the best bl manhwa out there, its pretty interesting and cool to read for spare time and fun. I hope to see how the story goes, just hoping it doesnt turn out to badly for everyone AND PLES GOD, no sad ending, everyone lives/no one dies typa shit. oh, also, idk if its just me but the art, yes pretty and crisp, but it always seems to change on different chapters, albeit they all have similar features, the face seems wonky or the facial features and face of certain characters change, its not really a concern but juts wanted to point it out. Maybe its because the author is still tryna find a permanent art style but who knows. Anyways, thats that, I hope future me comes back to read this and enjoy it like I did.

Stuck in My Sister's Dating Sim

Ongoing | Mongdo | 2022 released

IT’S SO CUTE. I love that this isekai trope is finally being used with a male lead with male suitors. I can’t wait to see how this manhwa goes because it’s pretty darn interesting. (69) —— OOOOHHH, shit is getting interesting. I hope to see more from this manhwa because I have yet to see an isekai BL manhwa that’s this long and kinda good. Hope the author takes some rest and continue to make this good manhwa hehe. Toodles~ --- The art style is so pretty and scrumptious :p And the lesbi couple is so cute, it's nice that there's a couple like this other than another gay couple for once and that the girls are actually full fledged characters instead of them just being there for plot devices or something. --- eyyy the sister-brother duop is in da housee LESGOGOGOOGOGOGOGO

The story is ok for now. Not much is happening since we are trying to get a grasp of the book’s original and present story. Ngl, thought this was a BL at first but I don’t mind it being two besties tryna bring out the best of each other, the missed potential just saddens me. (29)

Beta Count Has Changed

Complete | ENTER | 2022 released

The Time a Gangster was Reincarnated as Ranmaru Mori

Ongoing | | 2000 released

I love it, although I ponder how the ending would go. I hope to see more because the art is fucking scrumptious and I love me some gay historical manhwa. (17)

I was Reborn as the Villainess' Father and I Need XXX to Survive!?

Ongoing | cocoon production | 2000 released

it was interesting at first, but afterwards, the story and pacing started getting wonky and the art wasnt helping mu diminishing interest in the manga. I hope to pick this up again later on in life if I am not so judgemental of the art. (84)

NPCs Can Save the World Too!

Ongoing | Poppypari | 2019 released

OK, so I won't be going in-depth too much about the plot because I can say, overall, the world-building is great and I love the premise and path of the MC just collecting the bosses as either friends, companions, or boyfriends, just like how otome works except the polyamory part. It's refreshing to see that the gay part isn't the center of the plot and it's just LUCIAN trying to make the best of his situation and find out more of what he knows already about the world and also managing to accept himself more. LIKE I LOVE THIS OMG. I love the implied sex scenes going on in the bg and how LUCIAN truly is a monsterfucker because we don't see him falling into regular humans albeit he isn't a human himself so touche. Anyways, even being at chapter 93, were barely halfway through the plot it seems because judging from LUCIAN's drawing of the several monster bosses, there's like 8 or ten of them and we only have like 4 which is why I won't be touching this manhwa for awhile because IM PRETTY SURE, as an artist myself, the art style is very time-consuming to draw and not to mention how many panels each chapter has so yeah, ill be patient, Anyways, I LOVE VIRGIL, I also love how the tree guy (sorry, I forgot their names quickly) is either a child to VIRGIL AND LUCIAN, or another suitor-to-be for LUCIAN, MAHARI is also vv pretty, the resident prince Twink with family trauma who wants to fuck LUCIAN and the Fae King being a gentleman yet very cocky, and the vampire merchant who's very cunning and flirty. They are all very well-characterized characters and don't have only one personality trait like other harems do. I love everyone's dynamic, and how everyone is opens to polygamy without having to make it a competition. I hope to see more from this manhwa and continue to see how the story unfolds even if it's a slow-burn story. UNTIL TOMORROW AGAIN! (91)

The Fallen Duke & the Knight Who Hated Him

Ongoing | Passion | 2000 released

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Its not like other historical manhwas where the bottom is tripping over shit that isnt there or the top being overly obsessive and shit. ITS COOL and i love their lil moments together that show their feelings developing. The art style is pretty fucking good as well and i love the unexpected drama about the prince and the attendant. I hope to see what happens in season 2. (29)

I did not get half of the shit I read BUT ILL ACT LIKE I DO. There so much dialogue to read it makes me sick but the characters are so pretty and cute because of the art style so I’ll probs pick this up again after it gets to atleast a few more chapters - AND when I’m actually reading the dialogue :)) The interactions were cute and I’ll read this again later on, but if future me wants to pick off where I left here’s the chapter.
