SHORT (3 chapters) This was a super quick read but I’m not mad about it at all. Middle school unrequited love —> meet as adults and realize they both thought it was unrequited. One of them is a half mermaid and vaporizes when it’s too hot and often left the other. I liked the concept of how the author took the feeling of wanting to disappear when talking to your crush and made it a reality for the characters. The whole thing was a nice refreshment from everything else I’ve been reading.

SHORT 7 CHAPTERS Chunky bottom knight x skinny shorter vampire top I honestly enjoyed this quite a bit. Everything about this felt refreshing. The art is SO PRETTY especially for the eyes. Having Laufey in the background fit it so well. I got a bit scared that there was going to be rape but the "rape" was very gentle and sweet. I want to give Kenneth a hug so bad :C Im not even mad about how short the story was. This felt like eating a small sweet thats not super sweet and not tart, its pleasant. Overall it was a sweet read. Song - Letter to my 13 year old self for Kenneth’s childhood

My Calypso

Ongoing | Fairytale | 2019 released

Greek mythology I really enjoyed this concept a lot more than i thought. The characters are so well developed. I want to have a bigger review for this but i dont know what to say. Its really good but i don't know how to explain it. Aside from the characters and the story itself, i also loved the concept of Calypso having to cut off his hair, which is a main part of someone's physical identity, to help the mc. It shows how much he values him. I wont lie I was on the brink of tears when it came to the mc seeing his family for the last time after becoming immortal. I always get a little upset when thats in a story. The ending wrapping up this beautiful story in a bow like it was early christmas. Thank you for this, it was a blessing to read, for me and my heart.

One Small Step

Complete | Jung sunwoo | 2022 released

wow.. i mean just wow. this story is beautiful. the book made me feel warm, made me cry, made me chuckle; i haven't liked a book this much in so long. it reminds me of "glen" for some reason. i was sobbing in my bed reading this. the author did so well in portraying survivors guilt and they made it feel realistic how just because everyone is trying to help you get better, you don't get better overnight. I really feel for Youngwoo alot. I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose a sibling and i probably won't for a very long time. Everything about this story felt so realistic rather than the out of touch modern stories. I sobbed reading the conversation with his brother for the last time. It made my stomach sink in and as i'm writing this, i'm tearing up. The signs Youngwoo barely took note of before his brother's death was so well done. They were so small and barely visible. While at the start i found myself thinking the main character was a bit meh for trying to help him and play hero, i came around to like the main character a lot. i appreciate there are people like him in this world. I love him for what he did and how he reassured Youngwoo and was very patient. I love his little stutter. he's SO CUTE AH ><. its so cute the way Youngwoo blushes at the main character. at some point i stopped caring about the romance tags for this story. this story was so well done that i could care less about it. my heart hurts for Youngwoo and anyone else out there who experienced something similar. Youngwoo's so strong, so very strong. this book will always have a special place in my heart.

very short (5.5 ch) I was sobbing oh my fucking god Vampire x human It covers the cruelties of immortality and how you have to watch everyone grow and move on with their lives and you’re still stuck in the past The way he had to say goodbye to his family only 7 years into immortality and spent 37 with the seme :(( This would’ve been in my favorites list but it’s just too short to actually tell if it’s a favorite or if I just really liked it “Please forget me when I die” :((
