I couldn't figure this one out. The repeated rapes, degradation, violence, insanely stupid repeat acts just became too much. I love the art style but that was it for me on this one. Simply too dark and depraved.

The Beast Must Die

Complete | Lee hyeon sook | 2019 released

I plowed through this one! Wasn't sure about the "joining club initiation" was seggs but once the ML2 warned him what was about to happen, I liked the idea that one person could break through the psychopath's wall. Sad about gang rape of sister ... quelle surprise though that woman was once again the victim- NOT. Didn't like the several references about being/crying like a woman to debase women- that was a weak argument.

For My Weirdo

Complete | DO.D | 2000 released

I started this one officially but ended it up here b/c I couldn't stand the deep & depraved ML. Once again ... onto the child, the sins of the father theme prevailed and it was soooo depressing and I couldn't see an end in sight! I finished it here to see how it would end. I'm glad that the ending was hopefully and bright but man what a slugfest! I probably wouldn't have paid for this, it was just SO dark for so many episodes.

Checkmate(TAN)

Complete | TAN | 2000 released

Slow burn to the end but worth it. Didn't love the ease with which non-consentual acts were repeatedly performed but did love the climax when the hidden back story unfolded. The 2 MLs were well thought out and despite their differences, ended up in an adult relationship. I respected both characters who stayed true to themselves.

Have books. Ending was non-conclusive and yaoi in name only ... not much of that!

Beware of the Full Moon In March

Ongoing | Choi song | 2019 released

I hesitated at first because of the power hungry cop vs. the powerless convict, and the initial rape scene I absolutely love this one. I own it on Lezhin because it totally redeemed itself and the cop turns out to have some of the best lines - super funny and on-point.

He + He

Ongoing | Jim | 2000 released

Hesitant at first because of the abusive BF situation but it develops nicely into a romance between the ML and the 2nd ML who is a dentist. That relationship is healthy and mature. On extended hiatus right now ... hoping it will resume soon so that the 2 MLs can grow their relationship.
