crystalvmin's manga / #Adorable(23)

This was so good and interesting ?? Especially since it revolved and featured deities from korean mythology (and other asian mythologies/deities). All characters were likable too (likable in the sense that if they were bad, I didn’t hate any of them as they merely served their purpose). Another thing to commend about this is the comedy, it made me laugh my ass off + their comedic side comments are gold. For some reason the art reminds me of manga/anime art from the 90s-00s and I was nostalgic the whole time I was reading it. The only teeny tiny flaw I could find was that beomjin and yoonjae’s relationship and feelings developed too fast, tiny only because it didn’t bother me too much since not everything is slow burn, but I feel it was a bit too sudden still. I think the author was going for a more fleshed out plot line of the story’s universe that’s why it was the way it was, nevertheless, we got more scenes of their romantic dynamic so that’s a plus. The story and yoonjae and beomjin’s romantic relationship were balanced. I’m so happy I came across this because I’ve been having a streak with bad BLs recently so this was definitely a palate cleanser. I just hope this has more chapters tho !! Or at the very least side chapters. I feel like there’s still more to tell about their world (the 3 worlds to be exact).

Take a seat cos this’ll be a long one. The first season was really cute since they bicker like there's no tomorrow, but in secret they're pining for the other like crazy. The first time they had sex was also really satisfying because thank god and finally? The tension that they had, sexual and non-sexual, was so good. The following season had put light on the "incident" that happened in the first season, but other than that there are so many things that are being kept from the reader until now and it's really putting me on edge, 50 good, 50 bad. It's fine to keep secrets as it keeps people interested, but the more I read this, the more I feel like I don't know anything at all it makes me feel frustrated; frustration felt especially on the couple's relationship. Let me break it down into a few points: 1. I get slow burn, I love slow burn, I worship slow burn, but their relationship is more like going in circles rather than slow burn. They move forward, then move back, or worse, they just become stagnant and show no progress until a few more chapters (at times several more chapters). They have the same doubts and the same misunderstandings that they can't break free from because they don't communicate and "solve" everything with sex. I love the manhwa's sex scenes as much as the next guy, but I can't even enjoy the sex scenes sometimes because it replaced a conversation they should be having. The porn is overpowering the plot when there’s still so much to unpack. 2. Obviously they're not just sex buddies let's bffr and idk if I've misunderstood something, but I'm pretty sure Youngchan wanted to take the relationship further until Hyunsoo got the wrong idea again and just fucked out of anger? idk man and now Hyunsoo is definitely expecting something romantic from their relationship, but at this point he still can't be honest about it. It's making ME want to rip out both their hair and slap some sense into them. 3. Connected the first 2 points, I also think that the author is trying to drag this out by bringing out problem after problem, just so that they can put off any real progress between Hyunsoo and Youngchan’s relationship. On a more positive note, I love the art, especially the expressions, it makes me crack tf up and is definitely meme/reaction pic material. Idk why I notice it but they draw pretty nice hands too like the form’s really dyanmic and all that. Sex scenes are pretty decent too just that some are too repetitive. The comedic aspect is good as well. I would have rated this a 4 if it didn’t kinda go downhill after season 1 or earlier half of season 2.

I really liked how even though the plot started with the love at first sight trope, it was paired with the really ridiculous and unserious art style and I really am here for that. This manhwa will guarantee you a good time and I’m excited for updates because they are adorable af.

I was really stoked for some black people representation, but this manga was mid don’t get me wrong, their dynamic as a couple (I’d like to think it’s a more realistic portrayal of a loving relationship and partners’ intimacy during sex) and art is like cute asf but the pacing is so bad tbh and like the author concocted their connection/chemistry out of thin air just so that they could start having sex lol the plot holes as well with Luca being polygamous but considers dating other people as cheating. Woulda been cute if everything wasn’t so random.

This better have more future chapters cos there’s still a lot to address + their kiss

Bit sad there weren’t any spicy scenes but shounen-ai does fit more with the overall vibe of the story. I’m always here for old men experiencing love !! This was so wholesome and cute it made my heart hurt

This was really good!! (aside from chapter 6 I’m ngl the timeline of the events confused me a bit, not sure if it was part of the story or just extras) I LOVE ME SOME OLD DIVORCED MEN HAVING A CHANCE TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AGAIN. But seriously though it’s insane how a person can love one person for so long even though they never got together during that time. I really liked the comedy aspect of the manga too it was really kooky and the way they behaved was so fun to see especially in middle-aged men. Sometimes tho it was a bit too kooky at times especially during the sex scenes cos they’re censored with random things and random texts lol the art style is also very unique and non-conventional (in the manga way), definitely not everyone’s cup of tea but I see the vision.

The. passion. is. everything !!! The sex scenes were drawn with so much passion I was sucked into the manga only to end up disappointed because its last update on the site was 2021 I don’t think I really have any comments regarding the plot, honestly the ridiculous way they met gives the manga its charm.
