Reunion
P: A long time ago, Hakyung was struggling to pay his mother's hospital bills when a man came to him. The man, who identified himself as the vice president of the Taewon Group, said he was looking for his father's benefactor. The man was looking for the grandmother of a girl, said girl lived next to Hakyung during her childhood, but now that family was long gone. The man asks Hakyung to dress up as a woman and pretend to be the benefactor's granddaughter, and Hakyung - in need of money - accepts the offer. Hakyung was raised by the benefactor like her own grandson and therefore succeeded in deceiving the vice president's father, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Until the vice president's son appeared. Seven years later, Hakyung, who works at a bar, hears a familiar name among his customers. He thinks it's a common name and tries to get over it, but one day, he finally comes face to face with him. O: Tbh I wasn't sure if I'd get into this book b/c the art sometimes looked off b/c of shading, but it's pretty good. This feels slow, but the pacing and panelling is perfect. There are lots of smooth transitions between the present and past, lots of suspense... this seems more like a shounen ai than yaoi? C20 - ohhh we get to see some past disagreement.. C21 - wait why is some of this chapter in the previous chapter??? anyway this is getting pretty interesting. Maybe Yoonsung was shocked that Hakyung was a guy?? I honestly can't imagine what happened in the past btwn them. I'm wondering what's the deal with the blue/grey circles in each chapter. C25 - wait did Hakyung kill Joonsung's grandpa or sth.. C26 - bruh why did the season end here.. really interested in more. Rereading C10 - I love the chill vibe C20 - lol that thing I thought was a past disagreement wasn't here, seems like a mistake. C21 - ayoo what, they already did it before?!

C28 - lol what is happening C30 - oml >< C31 - holy shit FSDKJFS C33 - bahahah the way Myungshin ran out after seeing Yoohan’s face C34 - lol I really can’t believe Yoohan doesn’t know that Jay is Executive Director Yoon x.x C36 - surely Yoohan realises… C37 - omfg so many revelations this chapter!!

When Jung-hae storms in to drag his brother out of the changing room, he has no idea that he’s about to get a hell of a new job that’s far from ordinary…and that the club’s charismatic number one stripper, Yoo-gon, is going to change his life. O: Ngl I don't usually read these kind of manga, but this hits different lol, it really hooks you in. C18 - bro why does Myungha look kinda sus when Junghae's bro asked if they'd break up if Junghae tried to break them up... ooh a webtoon artist C19 - oml this guy aADKJASHFLAK. Yoogon is so provocative wtff C20 - omg Yoogon is on the offensive AHSKDFDS C22 - SIRS THIS IS A GYM C27 - oml they are just letting the stalker go C31 - they have an interesting relationship... they like each other, but they're not exactly lovers, fwb maybe

They lose cell service, miss their reservation, and drive through a terrible rainstorm only to arrive at a haunted-looking hotel. When Doyoung asks for a refund, the imposing concierge insists he must participate in a game—a game that quickly turns Christmas into a nightmare. O: c27 - hot but wrong lol c28 - omg… what is white hair dead?! he was obnoxious but interesting c28.5 - lmao these extras are gold c30 - omfg they just got rid of green like that wtf- c32 - OML IT WAS THEM???

It is a bit sad to see Hyungjin doesn’t remember what happened tho. The concept of this manhwa was really interesting - it was kinda like a high stakes among us. It really keeps you hooked. The cover looks way sus than the actual content lol.
PASSION
P: Jeong Taeui has always lived in the shadow of his genius twin brother, but he's never been unhappy with his ordinary life. When his uncle shows up at his doorstep with a dangerous job offer disguised as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Taeui is skeptical, but he reluctantly agrees to work as an agent for half a year. Despite his initial qualms, he quickly adjusts to his new environment using his outgoing, positive personality. But from the moment Taeui meets Ilay Riegrow, an agent from another branch, his peaceful life slowly starts to change. Everyone says Ilay is a sadistic psychopath who should be avoided at all costs, but Taeui knows there's more to him than meets the eye. But getting to know Ilay is like playing with fire, and Taeui isn't sure if he's ready to get burned. O: This manhwa is pretty amusing and hella toxic. His uncle looks so young?? Ilay is so hot but so fked up lol. I love seeing his ecstatic crazy face. It is kinda painful to see him toying with Taeui :( This is a really interesting slowburn. So much tension and passion, what a fitting title lol C8 - why is he so damn fine ahgkjsdf C10 - omfg that's embarrassing... also why is his spilling to this some dude he's only talked to twice LOL C11 - uhhh.... C13 - why is he so hot I'm interested why Xinlu seems to behave so nicely to Taeui now?? In C5 he was pretty cold C24 - why does he look so sexy?? C33 - FLUH C37 - bro Xinlu is scaring me, he feels bipolar. Bruh Ilay is killing me x.x C38 - those squiggly lines are so squiggly C40 - omg Xinlu low-key reminds me of Ilay in that freaky way C42 - LMAO ICANT C43 - oh shit gastritis pulls?

Wtf I want more... idk why I didn't try reading this until now. I probably confused it with another manhwa anti pt or sth?? C77 - Taeui is so screwed lmao
Zetsubou ni Nake
P: Akamine and Utsumi are two men linked by a dark past only Utsumi remembers: Akamine raping him six years earlier. But when Utsumi comes to exact his revenge, old wounds are reopened and the two become locked in a cycle of violence, betrayal, longing, and despair. O: Drawn in b/c of the art... Ik this is pretty messed up, but I can't but help find it is interesting and want to read more... they really don't like each other at the start. They're both twisted C4 - seeing Akamine break down and Utsumi smile in that sinister way... C5 - wait who is Saeki lmao I'm confused. Ig Saeki is that guy Akamine liked? It seems like Akamine was the one who leaked the documents because of him?? C6 - oh shit Akamine got played by Saeki... and rn he's getting played by Utsumi :( C7 - shit... I knew this was gonna happen some time but man.. C8 - :( this betrayal is so depressing C9 - pain. C12 - AINTNOWAY C13 - so glad this ended well! Tbh this was sometimes pretty confusing since it's hard to understand what's going on in the minds of Utsumi and Akamine. I still find it hard to imagine what Akamine did to Utsumi, it seems super out of character?? But other than that I really liked this! The art got really nice later on. Basically Utsumi wants to fk Akamine over due to him liking Akamine, but then soon afterwards Akamine ruined his life by raping him. But at the same time Utsumi still likes Akamine and wants to make him his. I think this is way he gets tired of Akamine always talking about Saeki so lovingly since Akamine ruined his life, but Akamine was unaffected and chased after Saeki. He wants Akamine's attention, and uses Akamine's words against him
Yet You Love a Guy Like Him
P: Upon falling in love at first sight with his younger brother's good friend, Li Yu, Jian Suiying begins to exercise every means to hook this cold beauty with an endless stream of tricks. He originally thought he had tugged at Li Yu's heartstrings, but realized that Li Yu had acted as bait to let Jian Suiying have a taste of betrayal and hurt... O: Although the plot sounds really dodgy, I can't help but be drawn in due to the beautiful art. Suiying is so hot >< C5 - lmao Suiying is so sneaky. Also, why does Li Yu look so cute?? His eyes are so pretty C9 - ehhh sth is definitely up with Li Yu... it is so unlike him to suck up to Suiying for once C12 - AGKFHSGKSHD why is Suiying so hot man!! C13 - LMAO he's so sneaky Novel - https://chrysanthemumgarden.com/novel-tl/sb/ C12 - bruh can't believe Li Yu is betraying Suiying :( I hate how he's playing with Suiying. Also he seems very quick to get angry/jealous now... despite scheming behind Suiying's back like wtf!! C13 - omfg it's so digusting seeing Suilin do this shit C14 - :( I feel so sad for Suiying ahhh. BRUH ASJDLKAJSLDK he really submits so easily TT C15 - god this shit hurts C17 - wtf is Li Yu doing holy shit. My heart breaks for Suiying bro... shit somehow keeps getting worse C18 - :( that ring scene ahhhh. This whole chapter was so sad C20 - :( Xiao Zhu... bruh seeing Suiying finally cry is heartbreaking C27 - "There is apparently such a person, that when you hug him, is equivalent to embracing the whole world." AWWW. This was one hell of a ride. Basically Suiying persistently pursues Li Yu, who is cold to him at first. They had a rocky start and Li Yu raped Suiying a few times, but they slowly warm up and having a fwb kind of relationship. Eventually Li Yu warms up to Suiying, however Suiying finds out that Li Yu and Suilin were scheming against him and a whole lot of other shit goes down (e.g. Li Yu got raped by Suilin). At this point Li Yu really comes to love Suiying and becomes very possessive and jealous, however on the other hand Suiying is completely heartbroken and doesn't want anything to do with Li Yu nor Suilin. Now it's Li Yu's time to pursue Suiying. He ends up going so far as to doing some smuggling business/tax evasion stuff because he's desperate to earn enough money to support Suiying in order to repent for his wrongdoings. Then Suiying comes to the rescue and they come to happily love each other again. Basically this is pretty messed up and toxic lmao, where both main characters are scum in different ways. I did find myself rooting more for Suiying tho b/c even though he was kinda annoying/pushy at times. The art really carries this manhua.
