A Trace of the Wonder
storyline: jeon yiseon is a restorer with a secret and a whole lot of trauma. sa hyeon leads the country’s top guild and wants the restorer on his team. however, what seems like a simple recruitment turns out to be a transaction: one secret for another. a deal is a deal, but what about their hearts? who wins that game? review: this is the most plot-heavy BL i’ve ever read and i LOVED it. who woulda thought i’d be a dungeons dynamics fan, huh? also the characters?? i love them all, the storyline is amazing, the plot twists, the relationships, the way trauma is handled in this story… i’m in absolute awe, this is the coolest thing i’ve read in a very long time
Annarasumanara Manhwa
storyline: ah-ee (ai), a poor high school student who has to work part-time to take care of herself and her younger sister, meets a magician. though she’s wary of him, he seems to keep putting himself in harm’s way to help her. all he seems to ask in return is for her to believe in magic. review: cool art and a great message of not forcing yourself to conform to societal pressures and expectations. still, this was a trip through depressionville and i’m not entirely sure it ever led us back outside
