A Trace of the Wonder
An action BL like Solo Leveling which has dungeons and monsters and hunters. Season 1 shows just how psycho mc2 is and I didn’t like him all that much. Season two (starting chapter 38) showed how sweet mc2 could be but then we only find out he was like that bc he knew that’s how mc1 wanted him to act. Though, it seems fairly obvious that mc2 actually has feelings for him and probably just doesn’t realize it yet. Last chapter of season 2 (chapter 67, also the latest chapter that’s out) I was worried because Hyeon (mc2) was so pissed at Yiseon (mc1). But then he brought up the fact that Yiseon didn’t cry even though he was in pain and the fact that Yiseon didn’t tell him that Hyeon’s brother drugged him. Like… I thought he’d be more pissed that his 4-year long plan just went down the drain but nope. He’s just mad that Yiseon isn’t happy and keeps apologizing for the wrong things. He was like “I think it would make me feel better if you smiled” and it was just so freaking cute when he said that. Like I said: it’s obvious he cares. Loved how protective Hyeon was in season 2 and how badass/cool both he and Yiseon were. Don’t know when season 3 will start but I can’t wait!! Read: Tuesday, May 30th, 2023.
Demon Apartment
NOTE: Read this on bato instead of mangago because there were .1 and .2 chapters that cut off panels and it was just annoying so I read it on there instead. This story makes me want to reread Cultivation Chat Group. Bai Ze reminds me of Mr. White. Bad things happen whenever visiting Bai Ze’s house and he’s just as forgetful as Mr. White too. This has a comedy aspect to it (especially Mr. Si (mc2) and Gu Lang (mc1’s dad)‘s bantering because they’re practically mortal enemies but they both love and cherish Gu Bai (mc1) (obviously in different ways). There’s also mythical creatures (everyone important in this story is a mythical creature but mc1 does have human friends). Took Gu Bai 36 chapters to find out that not only are all his neighbors not human but he’s not human as well. It was nobody’s fault tbh because apparently Gu Bai was supposed to gain knowledge of what being he is as soon as he gained his own consciousness. Mr. Si and Gu Bai are adorable together though it was a slow burn. But a cute slow burn so I didn’t mind it. Absolutely loved this story. I want more like it. People always shit on Chinese stories but I honestly don’t mind reading them. Read: Thursday, June 1st, 2023.
A Sunny Night Walk
Pretty sure there were two different time skips. Three years each maybe? It doesn’t really explain it just happens between chapters and I had to figure it out myself. It’s in both POV’s but it’s fine cause that’s how the plot needs it to be. Glad we get both sides. Seme is toxic, literally said he wanted to keep uke in a bird cage (a big one for both of them apparently) and only have the uke look at him. Seme doesn’t trust him and it made the uke leave, which then caused uke to lose his teleporting abilities. Then came the first three year time skip. They obviously meet again and it seems fine at first but then it’s obvious that the seme hadn’t changed. Then another 3 year time skip (I think?) and then it’s clear again that the seme hasn’t changed. Then seme got kidnapped and uke got his ability back so he saved him. At the end of the chapter (54) the seme talks about never letting him go/leave and it’s just ughhh because I thought he would make progress and change after being kidnapped. Really wish he would get character development like seme’s brother did. Idk if I like uke’s brother because he’s vehemently against his relationship with the seme. Uke’s mother seems supportive so I’m glad he he has her. Despite all the bad stuff I’ve been saying, I actually did consider giving it 5 stars. It’s written and drawn well and I enjoyed reading this. Only 54 chapters are out so far and I can’t wait for more bc seme just got rescued. Read: Thursday, June 1st, 2023 - Friday, June 2nd, 2023.
The Devil Is Spicy
Skimmed through chapter 3 (latest chapter) and I was confused af but it does seem comedic so wait for more chapters to come out before reading. Added: Friday, June 2nd, 2023.
Heat and Love
Only 32 chapters are out as of Wednesday, June 7th, 2023. Reread it today and so badly want more. That cliffhanger tho. Cuts off right before Hae Beom (mc2) is about to eat out Eun Chong’s (mc1) ass. Wonder why the updates are so sporadic. Edit: Finally complete on Sunday, January 7th, 2024. Fuck Hae-Beom’s dad. What a dick. I’m hoping there’ll be side stories but I’m marking it as complete in case there isn’t. This was so interesting and I really enjoyed it. Hae-Beom is such a good seme and such a green flag I love him.
Shinsujeon
It’s 4:30 AM and I need sleep so I’m marking it for later. Added: Thursday, June 8th, 2023. Edit: I read this later the same day I marked this. Mc2 is a guardian of the mountain and mc1 is the son of the chief (I think) of the village. In exchange for saving mc1's parents, mc2 tells mc1 to meet him for 100 days. Mc1's brother is apparently possessed by an imoogi who should've died. No wonder I got bad vibes from the brother. He's greedy too. Mc2 is damn attractive and so is mc1. They're both beefy. Really want more chapters.
After Signing In For 30 Days, I Can Annihilate Stars
Only 96 are out so far. Love this story although it can be confusing at times. This is I think my fourth time reading this story but I'd never bookmarked it bc I hadn't read it on mangago then. OP mc. Love it. Read: Saturday, June 10th, 2023 - Sunday, June 11th, 2023.
Heaven Official's Blessing
Look up chapters 42, 49, and 88 on Bilibili. Especially 88 bc I believe panels were missing. This story was amazing, yet confusing at times. The art is beautiful as all hell (even Lexi said the art was good) and realistic too. Only 90 chapters are out so far (but there were a couple repeats so I think there's only 87 or so in actuality. Looking forward to more chapters bc it's a verrryyyy slow burn (it seems like mc2 is the only one interested in him even though there's 90 chapters so far) and they're currently enemies atm.
