OnlyMes's manga / #Manhua/Manhwa(35)

I haven't read many alpha/omega-verse series let alone one that's a yuri, I'm still slightly confused about the whole pheromone and heat cycle thing, especially when betas are involved. I've reread this manhua twice because I felt like I needed to read it a second time in order to give a fair rating of it, and even then, I felt like 3 stars was overly generous. Not to say that is was a bad story, I just personally felt like it was narrated poorly, plus the poorly translated chapters near the end didn't help with that. I do believe this could have been a much better story if it was being told from Minjus point of view instead of Hayoons, the entire premise of Hayoon wanting to leave and get away out of fear of being abandoned never even hit me as a possible direction the manhua would have considered taking, such a cliché plot to use when the opposing character is almost always obsessed and in love with protagonist in question without there being a slither of doubt of how much they like the one trying so desperately to get over their feeling/ trying to leave. For me, the story would have done a lot better with us viewing it from Minjus perspective because we already know how she feels and what her end goal is, it would have made for a much more exciting story if we didn't know Hayoons intentions and we got cliffhangers with her just up and disappearing and us not knowing why or where she went. Overall, it wasn't the worse omegaverse I've read- though it might be one of the worse yuri-megaverse I've seen- but despite me being disappointed/ confused with the story and universe, I did still really enjoy every character that was introduced. I might give this manhua another read later down the line once I'm more familiar and comfortable with yuri omegaverse.

Kinda went through the loop in the beginning, I was confused on who the story was suppose to focus on, not that having 3 or 4 protagonists made it bad though. If the story was suppose to center around Shinbi (the blue hair girl) and Yeju (the redhead), I at least would have loved to see where their trails and troubles eventually lead for them, we got just a glance at that with the afterstory, but after they got together, it seemed like the story went from them to Jay and Nuel. Now if it was actually suppose to center around Jay (the black haired girl), I really really enjoyed the storytelling. Even from Shinbi's and Yeju's perspective, the storytelling was so well done and original. Jay's character is hard to match when it comes to romantic partners, but Nuel ended up fitting that space almost perfectly in the side story, I love their dynamic, relationship, communication, they brought so much to this story. Definitely wouldn't mind having a spin off series of just them. This was an exciting read to me, I loved all the twists, surprises, cliffhangers, and most of all, all of the NSFW scenes (which I'm super picky about). The characters felt so real and relatable without any tropes to try to appeal to the readers. This will be one for the books, one I'd love to forget it's in my list just so I can have the comfort of going back to reread it.

Super cute story and very easy to read. I really liked how it started off, but I didn't care for Yunas personality, however I do understand that her arrogance made the story what it was. I loved Mins character, that boyish style with a cool and coy personality is such a great character trope regardless of the content of the writing. If I have to leave a critique, it would be how Min ended up leaving her first love for Yuna. I don't believe fake lovers should end up together to make a good story, while I agree with the majority that Min's professor didn't deserve her, I personally didn't think Min deserved Yuna in that respect either. I would have loved for Yuna to have ended up with Seyun, but regardless of the outcome, the story itself would have still be good. Here's hoping we get a side story about the professor or even Seyun if we're lucky, I'd be thrilled to read more of this story.

I liked the story and the art, it had a great original plot that you don't see in most yuris. Loved Jeongwon's character. The design to the personality, she gave my brain happy chemicals every time I saw her. Jisoo was such a great match for her, their dynamic went so well together, from the very beginning I felt like they were the perfect match. Hwayeon, however... well, I guess her character was made specifically for her to be disliked, and that's understandable. She was a crooked character from the start who only really ever cared for herself and what other people could provide for her. When Jeongwon started getting attracted to Jisoo, I don't believe Hwayeon's reaction came from genuine concern or fear of losing a friend/ fuck buddy. I think she knew she was going to lose a reliable source of money, living space, and attention. Most of the problems that Jisoo and Jeongwon faced before they even started dating was because of Hwayeon, so as a character who is suppose to be the antagonist, she was written really well, I just wish she had more of a redemption. Overall, this was a fantastic read, the characters are relatable and cute, the scenes are beautiful, the tone and mood of the NSFW scenes are done at a great pace (not too many, not too few), this one will be going to my list of rereads because I genuinely enjoyed nearly every chapter.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. The story was great, and the premise of the story was entertaining, I'm just personally not a fan of toxic relationships like this. I don't like to romanticize traits like jealousy, greed, obsession and everything else Yoo Wons character portraited. She loved Ji-an, but ruining her life isn't the way to go about your feelings. She stole her songs, sabotaged her debuts, cheated on her, just so she knew Ji-an would have nothing and no one else to rely on but Yoo Won herself, at that point, that isn't love, it's toxic obsession. I don't know if the series ended at chapter 7 or if it just stop being translated, but I didn't care for the ending, which is why I had to give this a 4 star rating. I didn't see the benefit of Ji-an returning to Yoo Won. Love aside, that woman destroyed everything she ever worked for, even brought other women in their bed, I can't rationalize why Ji-an would go back to her at the end of the day, even if Yoo Won ruined her life to prove that fame and money meant nothing to her so long as she has Ji-an. I understand everyone roots for a happy ending, but this story didn't need that. Love stories don't have to end with the two characters, who were so toxic for each other, ending up together- especially when it doesn't change the outcome of the story. Ji-an could have rose to fame herself after Yoo Wons fall if she wanted to. She didn't need Yoo to do that. I don't know, I just hate that Yoo got her happy ending when she didn't deserve it. Losing her fame meant nothing to her, she didn't care, the only thing she cared about was Ji-an and the fact that a character like her got her happy end with no development is a bit of a let down. Like I said, it was a great story, I would have just hoped for a different outcome.

A bit different compared to what I normally read, but this one of a kind story really grabbed my attention from the very beginning until the very end. What I can appreciate the most about this series is how no character beats around the bush, they know exactly what they want, and when they have an issue or something they want to address, they communicate that- if not in the same chapter, then the very next. It was always so frustrating for me reading yuris in the past where so much of the conflicts came from someone not being honest with the person in question so they end up getting hurt! I get it prolongs the story, but if the story itself isn't that good of a read because it relies on cliché tropes like so many other yuris, then outplayed conflicts of interest just makes it so much harder to read through when the readers already know what to expect for the solution. I love the way this story introduced Boksil, a hopeless romantic who had no luck at dating, but didn't let that deter her. If I'd have never looked at the cover photo for the manhua, I would have never guessed that Boksil and DoYoon wouldn't have ended up together. Brave decision to write a story around falling in love with one character just to end up with the characters best friend. I loved Seim's character, but DoYoon was an easy favorite for me. If anyone in this story deserved a happy ending, it was her, and I'm glad she didn't let her first love ruin her perspective on relationships, I had the most worry for her because of that and, although I saw it coming, I knew she and JiYoo would end up together- which I'm also very thrilled for. All in all, the story was amazing, funny, and original, the characters have so much depth and development, and there is so much individuality put into each character introduced, and the artwork is really pretty. Cute, quick, and easy read, this won't be a yuri anyone would regret reading.

This is the type of GL oneshots I really enjoy, there was comedy, suspense, light smut, closure, and likable characters- just a little disappointed with how the characters progressed. That "hot, level headed boss who everyone adores" trope is okay to work with if the story is done right, just not sure if it worked as well with a one-shot. With it being the way it was now, everything just seemed to happen way too fast, which, I get it- it's a one-shot, but at least have the characters have some sort of familiarity with one another. The progression from "idol coworker and subordinate to lovers in one night" just seemed to out of place for this kind of story. I do really like this author though, the artwork is always amazing and they make beautiful stories if given the time.

I can't believe I never left a review on this, I'm glad I finally came back to reread it because this is likely one of the best side stories I've seen. Not too many stories really wrap up side characters by giving them their own story, and most of them are never as good as this one. When I realized this story was about Gyerin, I nearly cried! Out of all the characters, she was my favorite and the one most deserving of love in this series. I was so nervous thinking she might end up with Duna so the excitement I felt knowing her ending would be wrapped up in this side story sent me over the moon! Gyerin was honestly the only character in the story who had any real development and personality. Sure, she was clingy, but not nearly as insufferable as the male lead. After reading the main story and both side stories (yeesh on that yaoi side story) Gyerin and Juyeons was really the only relationship I could 100% stand behind that made the most sense to me. I'm so happy she got her good ending, I love how they wrapped up her tale because at the end of the day, she really was the only character (who got hurt) worth caring about.

Oh man, I'm not sure how to even begin... I did read this story once years ago- many years ago- but rereading it again with a better understanding of what went on absolutely gutted me. I really want to say Namsu was the only good character, but even then, she took her anger out on the wrong person and ended up losing literally everything her character was built on at the end. I had high hopes for Joy and Namsu, I was flabbergasted by the twist, but Joy ruined her friendship and is torn up about how it ended and has to be reminded of it every day. Hye-Yeon was horrible from the start to the end, selfish, greedy, you name it, but she didn't get a good ending either. Sure, she got Joy to herself, but she has such doubt about Joy's true feelings for her, she'll spend the rest of her life wondering if Joy really loves her or if she's just being kept around out of Joy's fear of losing her closest friends. No one got a happy ending, but I hurt so much seeing Joy was able to keep at least one person by her side when she caused literally all of the suffering. For her to date them both and only let Hye-Yeon in on it was... why did she do that??? If you really wanted to not hurt them, dating them both is the last thing that should have been attempted! God, I have such a love-hate relationship with this manhwa, the characters (outside of Namsu until the last few chapters) were all bad, but the story is so heartbreakingly interesting that it made me want to come back and reread it after all these years. I want Namsu to have a better ending, she really didn't deserve what Joy put her through.

I had forgotten all about this yuri, and very sad I did for a moment, but was delighted at the prospect of enjoying it again from the beginning. Absolutely phenomenal story with such depth in characters, easily a 5 star read! Great story that tackles sexism, classism, and women empowerment. How the romance was implemented was just breathtaking, to say the least. Cheong and Madam's relationship from the beginning to the end was such a Rollercoaster of emotions that was so beautifully written and worked out, I wouldn't be surprised if this yuri was in the top 10 yuris when it comes romance. We get such in depth perspectives of both these characters, not only from their childhoods, but with their relationship as well. I can't say I saw the twist near the end coming, but regardless if I did or didn't, this manhua didn't disappoint when it came to putting me on the edge of my seat nearly every chapter. It was so hard to not hit next chapter that I found myself finishing all 85 chapters in a matter of 5 days. Not only was the story for the protagonists perfectly wrapped up with no loose ends, the author also managed to give all the supporting characters the closure they deserved. I'm very happy I came across this yuri again, it simply is an amazing piece of work.
