Emily159's manga / #Fwb to lovers(10)

I cried while reading this omg. They only got together like 10-20 chapters before the side stories or smth but even after that we didn’t really get any fluff. The only fluff this couple had was actually smut so it that’s disappointing. 08/27/2022

Lexi showed me this. First time I went to read it I knocked it off because Beom Jisoo looked a little weird and it ended on a semi-cliffhanger. Started reading after chapter 30 came out and I hate myself for knocking it off last time when it’s such a good story. The fwb to lovers is basically just they have sex but their relationship doesn’t change at all and then they end up starting dating in chapter 30 so it’s all good. There’s not too much smut or too little either and the smut was hot af so this was really good too. Read: Saturday, November 12th, 2022. Edit: Just finished it and I enjoyed this.

Short, smutty story. Enjoyed it. Read: December 30th, 2022.

Love these short, smutty stories. Same author as the other one I read today. Read: Friday, December 30th, 2022.

I didn’t bookmark this when I first read it. This was a reread (Friday, February 10th, 2023). Mc1 and mc2 met bc mc1 was a BJ (cam guy) and mc2 could only get it up with mc2. Idk whether it was because this was a reread but I didn’t enjoy this story as much as I thought I would. Was just kinda waiting for it to end. There was too much smut too. The art was amazing though so that’s good.

Lexi recommended this to me. Murim and BL? LOVED this omg. Mc1 and mc2 were literally frenemies. They grew up together basically. Mc1 and mc2 end up sleeping together (jacked off twice and fucked once) before the 10 year time skip. Mc2 ends up working for the enemy while thinking mc1 is dead. They then run into each other as opposing enemies, not knowing they were going to fight each other. They end up sleeping together in secret multiple times while also pretending to try and kill each other on the battlefield. We then learn that the leader of the Orthodox murim is mc2's dad who killed mc2's mom and is now trying to kill him, hence why mc2 joined the bad guy's side (to get revenge on his dad if that wasn't obvious). Really enjoyed this. I feel like I need more historical BL now cuz they looked HOT with the long hair and muscles. Read: Friday, March 10th, 2023. Ended on Saturday, September 16th, 2023. Sad af it ended but I could still tell it was coming. At least it got an ending tbh. A lot of stories don't.

Childhood friends. Slow burn cuz mc1 doesn't realize his feelings and then when he does mc2 rejects him out of fear. They finally start dating in chapter 54 which is good because 55 are out so far. Inseo is sooo handsome it's insane. So is Yi-Hyeok. Beefy uke. Thought I wouldn't like it but mc2 is taller so it was completely okay with me. Read: Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023.

This was really good. Mc1’s mom was a bitch until chapter 36 or 37. Mc2 was so sweet and such a green flag I love him. There was definitely angst and also misunderstandings but all’s well that ends well. Slow burn. It’s a fake-relationship-turned-real trope but yet they fucked all the time while it still being fake, and mc1 even mentioned “friends with benefits”, hence the tag. Actually felt bad for mc3 bc he was hired to date mc1 without mc1’s knowledge (of him being hired to do so) and then ended up actually wanting to be with him. But by that point it was too late and mc1 already liked mc2. I really hope mc2’s old tutor ends up with mc3. Sad there won’t be mpreg in this story. Also worried about what season two might entail since they get married in the last chapter of season 1 (chapter 38). Don’t know when season two will start so I guess I’ll just have to be on the lookout for it. Read: Monday, May 15th, 2023 - Tuesday, May 16th, 2023.

So this is very drama-filled but that makes it sooo interesting. Sol (mc1) gets a crush on Chaeun (mc1’s sister)‘s boyfriend before knowing it’s her boyfriend. Then Chaeun breaks up with Jeebin (mc2) because she wanted to go abroad for summer vacation. Sol and Jeebin sleep together multiple times. Sol gets a part-time job at a cafe and the boss takes a liking to him. Sol starts sleeping with both of them (I didn’t mind cuz Jeebin was an asshole in the beginning and he wasn’t being clear about what their relationship was). He eventually breaks it off with the boss and eventually gets together with Jeebin. But then Chaeun comes back and so does Sol’s first love (Sunjae). Or maybe he’s Sol’s second love? It was kinda implied that Jeebin might’ve been Sol’s first love and heavily implied that Sol was Jeebin’s first love even though I think they only met each other once when they were young. Both Chaeun and Sunjae are absolute assholes and I hate them both to hell and back. Kinda feel bad for the boss bc of his unrequited feelings with Sol. After Sol and Jeebin get together there’s a lot of fluff with them and it’s adorable as hell I love them. I marked it as both shounen ai and yaoi because we don’t get to see the dicks or any really intimate panels but it’s very heavily implied and we see them shirtless and breathless so it’s not exactly shounen ai either. Sadly, there’s sporadic updates, so idk when it’ll update again. Eagerly waiting for more!! Read: Friday, June 2nd, 2023.

Mc1 and mc2 like other people. Those other people got married. Mc1 and mc2 slept together the night of the wedding and end up sleeping together more and becoming somewhat friends along the way. 24 chapters out so far officially and I'll only read an unofficial chapter if there's a cliffhanger. I want more stories that I can read weekly so I'm pacing myself. Mc2 is seriously big and beefy and holy hell he's attractive. Enjoying this so far.
