crystalvmin's manga / #Adorable(23)

I'm not usually in this for the smut but thinking I was robbed of beefy men smexy time is making me livid

AHHHHHHH honestly I'm not exaggerating if I say that my heart is melting !! These are the kinds of manhua that make you want to continuously punch your pillow into oblivion because they're just too cute ! I really like all of the characters' personalities especially for our 2 MCs. I am really attracted to cool and strong-willed characters so this manhua was definitely my cup of tea. Though it was just a bit noticeable that the art style kinda changed drastically, which made the boys look more baby boy-like (though it doesn't look bad at all) compared to how they started out as which was kind of a shame since the art/design of Da Fei's shaved head was completely taken out of his character (which honestly was his appearance's focal point) and without explanation either :< Other than that, I'm not really complaining about anything else (ofc, the crazy censorship was a given, the implied scenes will have to do T^T) as this manhua is amazing <3

This started out like 19 days with really short comedic chapters then progressing into a more steady plot and I’m in love. They’re all so funny and wild lmfao and I appreciate that 90% of the boys in the manhua are gay af. For a BL manhua, this might be one of the least censored out there with the inclusion of NSFW illustrations. Only rated it a 4 because the translations kinda fluctuate between being good or bad throughout the series.

Ahhhhh omg hyeonjin is too precious I can’t honestly protect that boy. I don’t hate mujin (yet) so at this point I want them to be a throuple even though I know that’s near impossible cos mujin’s ass too possessive but I really am hoping jaewoo ends up with hyeonjin because they just make me feel all giddy nd shit. Ngl, I really did think jaewoo was going to be a top (short kings can be tops too !!) even though he follows the formula for the classic BL bottom, but looks like the BL universe had different plans for him lmfao.

Ahhhh this was so wholesome and the author’s art style made it feel 1000% more wholesome cause they all look so plump and fluffy. PROTECC MY BOIS FROM ALL THE HARDSHIPS IN THE WORLD. Talking about Sunwoo and Dahm, I don’t wanna sound nitpicky but I feel like Dahm’s character wasn’t going to be easy to win over even with the backstory he had of falling for someone else, which resulted in him putting up this wall. Idk for others it may have seemed to be dragged out, but I would honestly want more trying and effort before Sunwoo and Dahm got together. Because of this, their whole story gave off puppy love, and towards the end I kinda predicted they would break up because aside from the puppy love vibe, realistically it is hard to stay together when one’s in high school and the other in college. But I did like that they showed the hardships and not everything was sunshine and rainbows (aside from the problems that Seung-won and Heesu had). But even if they did break up ofc they had to have a happy ending with each other again also can we talk about how Sunwoo has so much rizz ?? Anyway I’m so excited for the live action.

They had a lot of really cute moments in this manhwa. Season 1 was okay, but season 2 was not as enjoyable as season 1, mainly because I progressively did not like yoonseul’s character after season 1. I almost felt like dropping it but I was already too deep in, so might as well finish it. (SPOILERS) His biggest con is his possessiveness and tbh possessiveness isn’t bad as long as it’s just right or it’s what the character is expected to be like in darker, and more serious plot lines which is the opposite of this manhwa. His character at the start didn’t feel possessive at all and was just laid back and chill that’s why when he did a whole 180 I hated it cos it didn’t make sense and it didn’t fit. I was fine with him being desperate and assertive when he was running after jun, but damn ngl when his possessiveness became crazier after they started dating, as well as knowing that jun only had eyes for him, was such a big turn-off. Another thing I didn’t like was when he was manipulating jun into having sex with him, then after successfully manipulating jun into having sex, he did too much and I was just cringing the whole time because bro handle your mans with care idc how horny you are. Yoonseul is lucky that jun’s trope is being blindly in love with his lover. Aside from treating jun good, pros is that he’s at least self-aware that he’s too possessive and immature. Anyway after all that though I’m really just team jun that’s why I had a lot to say about yoonseul lmao (after all the hurt yoonseul put jun through I couldn’t stop myself xD) Although aside from my critical analysis of yoonseul’s character lol, the manhwa does tackle some problems that gay couples do encounter and that’s realistic enough. The few chapters towards the end + the side stories were the cutest moments they had during season 2 and it made yoonseul more tolerable and likeable.
