schmidt's manga / #favourite(33)

I wish more BL manhwas (and GL manhwas, to a lesser degree) disregarded homophobia as a plot point. Like, I'm reading these to either be very happy or very sad. It doesn't need to be about homophobia all the time. At this point I'm just going to assume that these authors just don't fucking know what the queer experience is.

I LOVE THIS AUTHOR SO MUCH! They craft their stories so masterfully and knowingly. I always love an anthology, but this is the first one to knock it out the ballpark. You know someone is a master at their craft when you continue to anticipate something, and yet, when it happens, you still remain devastated. That's what good writing is. The only reason why I'll rate this above WITH is because I resonate more with the petty lives of queer men than I would ever gay werewolves. I wish more BL manhwas would take their stories to this level (in both detail and craft) to actually reinvent and discover, but then that wouldn't make works like Momentum that special, would it?

I love this author and their works so much. I remember when they said they would be dropping On A Leash, I was devastated. I'm so happy they picked it back up again!

One of the best 'realistic' manhwa in the genre. Although I wished there was more retribution, I also reveled in Sehyun's healing, rather than be focused and irate at the thought of a revenge. Its characters are beautifully nuanced, with Sehyun being the beating heart of this story. I wish Michael would have died, though. But I'm content that he's languishing in the disgusting hole he resides in, loveless.

The ending made me tear up. I wish that rat bastard Duke suffered more before his death, but Andrew strangling him lifeless with her bare hands are a consolation prize. Bittersweet ending, with the promise of Herta's love being equal if not more for Andy. I wish these girls would live long, loving lives.

I love Shin. He's the best BL manhwa deuteragonist out there. Wolfgang close second. Edit: side stories It's both annoying and is disturbing to me how the artists draws women bodies they all look like they're teenage girls?? What happened to the lesbian couple???? They look like they got de-aged 25 years????? Even the "queen mother" person. I swear she looked bigger in the past chapters. And NO it's not the clothes. Edit: the epsilon chapters are so fucking boring Another edit: the later seasons are so fucking convoluted, even the second was fine. adding way too many characters way too quickly made for poor characterization and even poorer pacing. their kid was okay.

Another favourite for no other reason than the style and artistry. This author has a really good fucking fashion sense.

Another favourite bc of the style and artistry. I actually copied a look from each MC, so I think I'm obligated to add this to my bookmarks.

One of my favourites! I always come back to reading this whenever I see it pop up. I love love love how Seomin's portrayed; he's not the usual waifish "uke", he's a fully fleshed out character who is still very much masculine and owns his own sexuality and actually has a backbone. Bada is also a great character; I remember thinking "finally, an MC who is so smitten with his partner AND doesn't pull any dumb manipulative tricks to get with him!" Even the sex is wonderful and awesomely drawn; it feels as if it's part of their story and not as a bribe for readers just so they'd stick around. Overall, it's such a fun, light story that everyone should read.

I LOVE THE ART SO MUCH! I hope uploads come quick, Oosawa and Mitsuki are so cute!
