crystalvmin's manga / #Romance(65)

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

You know that the art is good as hell when the smut isn’t as explicit compared to other R-rated BLs (e.g., showing of privates) but it’s still so sexy and sensual. The way their hair falls down, how they all grasp and hold each other, how they touch each other so softly, THE EXPRESSION OF EVERYTHING is just too good. Calling it beautiful art is an understatement. To complement the gorgeous art, the story is also great, interesting, and feels very noir without everything being black and white only. I loved that the author took their time in discussing the stories and backstories of everyone AND who knew we were getting some GL on the side which really made me love everything even more. Furthermore, even with such a plot, they didn’t forget to insert really funny panels as well. You wouldn’t expect it, but it really gave the manhwa more variety. Greatly recommend this !

As always the art is so stunning this author really is the master of portraying sex as the sexiest thing in the world, even without showing too much detail. I also noticed that the author loved using certain colors for certain moments to either highlight or bring color to the panel when it was more or less monotonous, and idk I really liked that. I’m also impressed with how the author managed to smoothly connect the main characters from each story to another main character in a different story; at first I really only thought they’d only be a collection of short stories that were not at all connected to each other. I gotta warn y’all tho about the angst and drama that’s incoming cos goddamn that last story really got me to take a hit in the heart. Enjoyed this a lot !! Also this author literally makes the sexiest women, I want a GL from them too

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.

Sol in the recent chapters is stressing me tf out tho and I vibe with Ian’s overthinking ass so much lmfao even though Brian was just reincarnated into a different body ngl I feel jealous for Ian while I’m reading Sol and Brian’s backstory Hoping that Sol will wake up and love Ian for Ian and not for Brian but idk if this is possible. (I was about to comment about the same-face syndrome of both Sol and the Cardinal but they’re deadass twins)
