crispicheva's manga / #tragedy(20)

storyline: rwanda is a child who likes killing things, just like his mother kills people. she doesn’t acknowledge him at all, so part of him kills to be praised by her. one day she’s fatally injured and, through a series of events, rwanda ends up working as an assassin for a fucked up organization reaction: i can’t believe the story just ends like that… what about macalo’s revenge? what about rwanda’s growth as a character? and ivan’s happiness? i feel like i was robbed of so many things

reaction: this was a whole trip lmao also damn the storyline for having so many goddamn characters with the same names i was struggling to keep up

i physically can’t rate this any higher just because my mental health suffered enormously thanks to this story

alt title: low tide in the twilight storyline: euihyun inherits his deadbeat dad’s debt. taeju is the collector. a story on power dynamics, humanity and the way love can bloom in the cruelest of places. review: honestly this was a fucking ride. in the beginning i couldn’t fathom how they could turn this pairing around to make me root for them, but this was a redemption arc done right (as much as one can “come back” from raping someone)… i felt so bad for euihyun the entire time jesus christ, my boy deserved to be happy!! but anyways, story wise it sucks you in and keeps you hooked, in the sense that you basically only get reminded it’s an omegaverse at times, like the whole story doesn’t revolve around that at all… and the sex scenes go CRAZY

storyline: yeon-oh is a rookie actor who has to provide for his family as his dad is a serial gambler and keeps getting them in trouble with loan sharks. jae-hyuk is a rich man who decides to sponsor him, but has his own agenda that involves yeon-ho’s cooperation. too bad yeon-ho’s heart doesn’t follow the “no strings attached” rule. review: great angst, 7/10 redemption arc from jae-hyuk (although it seemed to be spawned a bit from nowhere), but the ending was too abrupt and unsatisfying. such a long story should’ve had a more appropriate conclusion imo.

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

storyline: former delinquent meets guy at school who seems nice and friendly but is in a sort of abusive relationship with the top delinquent basically. former delinquent guy wants him to himself, telling himself he’s better for his new crush than his current keeper, but little does he know they’re all the fucking same. review: honestly this was such a tragedy fest… i feel for the abused guy, he was just being passed around and fought over like some object when in fact he deserved so much better… both redemption arcs (former delinquent and main abuser) were necessary but i truly think the guy should’ve tossed both their asses to the curb and loved himself, none of them deserved him.

review: this was incredible, i can’t remember the last time i got this tense from reading… the build up scenes, the plot twists, the characters, the monsters… all of it was so amazing, even if the art itself wasn’t super detailed or clean. would absolutely recommend.

storyline: juri is a depressed and traumatized woman who has attempted suicide multiple times. the last time she does, her aunt (a nun) takes her to do some volunteering with a convict on death row. that’s how she meets yuu, a man who killed three people and mirrors juri’ depressive and suicidal tendencies. review: typing this with tears streaming down my face holy shit this was absolutely heartbreaking and it was one of the most beautiful stories i’ve read in a very long time… to think some people love and die without experiencing happiness, love, comfort… the world can be such a cruel place

storyline: a loner girl who carries a camcorder around, and her young actor classmate. review: jesus motherfucking christ what is it with authors and these sad ass stories godddddd (my poor baby boy)
