crystalvmin's manga / #Comedy(31)

I was almost on the brink of dropping this, but the story did develop better when season 2 came; the premise of the story is also really interesting. First of all, I love how Sunwon is wild and sex-starved but I do have problems with how he gets his sex (SPOILER) through coercion and I know it’s not real, but with a story that relies on his ability to bullshit and become a god of, technically, a cult, it just feels weird and uncomfortable for me to laugh at his antics when irl there are a lot of sexual mistreatment and lack of sexual knowledge in cults and religious factions. But at the same time as the story progressed, as a person and not as an impostor god, I liked how the author tackled Sunwon’s hypersexuality with which seems like he had a past of being raped and victim-blamed and I really felt sorry for him. I don’t think topics like this are commonly fleshed out in BL too so I was surprised. It was really hard to read the panels of Vercion raping him so I didn’t read that at all and I thought was showing the rape really necessary, I’m still 50/50 on that. On a more positive note, I love Albis so so much and how he’s progressed throughout the story as I’m writing this comment and I’ll just have to say that he’s in the running for best boy along with Risa and Karl !! I’ll be waiting for updates.

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.

This one was pretty good

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.

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).
