I feel ashamed as hell because im unable to get the original copy--but i really enjoyed reading this. This author's works manage to immediately go to my favorite list every single time, so i'm always waiting for her new releases. Anyways. Great read, amazing chemistry between MCs, hilarious premise and banter. Love it so much.
Bimyou ni Yasashii Ijimekko
Oh my goD i cant believe how adorable this is???? Literally my cold got cured reading this. Each chapter is really short but rly satisfying but atst i dont want this to ever end! It's about Tamura and his tsundere bully, Kizaki, who's absolutely horrible at being a bully (and at making friends lmao). It's hilarious, heartwarming, and i want to read it forever.
Mashle: Magic and Muscles
Dropped for the time being. It's refreshing to see an OP MC who is purely brawn, and the way he defeats all these elaborate magic with only his muscle is crazy fun to read. It does get a little bit old after a while tho, he never seems to be fazed or panicked and it feels like there are no stakes in any of his fights.

Limit Breaker
Tbh kinda (read: very) disappointed with this. Like it had a LOT of potential, a premise that wasnt new but interesting enough, gorgeous art, and pretty cool monster designs, but every character here has the personality of a dried out swimming pool. Except Kang Hwi, of course, but even he quickly became shallow and repetitive after his first appearance. The MC, Kibong, had too great of a set up for his character to be this flat. Man was trapped for 3000 YEARS in a simulation with ony one monster and himself, forced to relive the same horrifying experience over and over again, feeling and watching his own body being brutalized a bazillion times, yet he came out of that experience with intact mental health? What motivation did he have to help any of other characters? Like, how did he even still have the ability to talk, let alone interact with other human and have compassion for them? We never saw the side effects of being forced to die continuously without taking a break for even a second for--i repeat---THREE FUCKING THOUSAND YEARS on him. He just got hotter and broodier and that's it?? There was also little to no bond between him and other characters. Everyone was supposed to admire and have a very deep connection with him (like how most harem fantasy works), but there were nothing in the manhwa that made it believeable. No bonding moments, no private or profound coversations, no defining scenes, nothing--the characters kept saying that they respect Kibong and clinging onto him, but there was nothing to base that affection on, because Kibong literally had no personality. Even his mom, who was supposed to be his one and only reason to live, never had even a single meaningful interaction with Kibong. We just knew that she's his mom, but other than that, there were no important moments that could make us feel like holy shit, he really had to give everything and anything to keep her alive. Also, i hate, HATE Sys' personification. There is no purpose at all to give the fucking System a body of a very voluptuous woman who loved to press her huge boobs on Kibong at all times -- except for the male gaze bullshit. Also, the readers are expected to feel the strong bond between her and Kibong because they were together for 3000 years, but like, how??? The author never bothered showing it. We never saw anything of the simulation after the first chapters, and Sys was literally a computer system with just a tad more personality than Windows XP user dialogue during those 3000 years. She only gained character AFTER Kibong excaped the simulation and a body shortly after. Her interaction with Kibong was transactional at best, but we're supposed to care about her? When she was absorbed by the mean guy were we supposed to feel more than "oh shoot, my incredibly advanced iPhone is gone"?? And by the way, the author made the main villain an Arab complete with turban and shit. So. Yeah. Tldr, disappointing cause of shallow characters and a (glaring) hint of racism. Gave it 2 stars for the art and the promising premise.
