Um what? What happened.. I’m LOST. What’s real what’s fake what’s up with those creepy humanoid things and where did they go.. so many questions and no answers! So it was real but not really like oml this was awfully confusing.. if you don’t think too much about it, it’s a okay mystery and a really really really really really really toxic relationship..

Killing my Love

Ongoing | 星空社 | 2000 released

AHHH CHAPTER 73 HE SMILED. HE SMILEDD.. CHAPTER 88 HE BLUSHED?!? OMGGG Not really a romance between the MC and FL but it’s so good.. like the other couples and how the story went from mild to extreme so quickly. What. NO WAIT I DIDNT SIGN UP FOR THIS.. I DIDN’T REALIZE IT WAS A TRAGEDY WHAT.. BROO. Fuck Xiao Xiao I hate her so much she was just a jealous little bitch and caused the death of so many good people. OF COURSE MAKING A SYSTEM WHERE THEY IMPLANT NANOTHJNGS INTO THEIR BODIES WILL END BADLY?? NONE OF THE EXCUSES CAN MAKE UP FOR IT. SHE ALSO PULLED THEM INTO THE GAME BITCH?? Idfk how jealous you are you’re just a nasty awful person who willingly puts people into danger. He sacrificed himself to end the game.. bro.. the first two couples were so tragic they did not deserve any of this shit. Fuck you xiao xiao.

Holy shit man.. I really enjoyed like the main 3 characters. I liked the POV changes to show how each action caused a reaction that led to the events of the murder. It’s like Sally Face where he’s retelling the story but not getting to the point until the very end. Redhead didn’t deserve to die .. and blackhair deserves better too. Bro he saw him murder EIGHT people and needs therapy for life.. it’s just so much. I’m glad to see people still care about him like visiting his memorial, that’s really sweet. Also are they in high school or middle school bc they look like little kids especially the murder child. Dunno why people are surprised by the sad ending it was marked as tragedy. And tragedy it was. Main characters died, locked up or lifelong PTSD.

See You In My 19th Life

Ongoing | Lee hye | 2020 released

OKAY OKAY WHAT. The father planned the car accident alongside that other guy???? What.. father of the year people. Holy shit this just became a murder mystery.. WHAT IT WAS THE UNCLE?? .. FINALLY. OML FINALLY. THE SIDE SHIP IS FLYING IM SO EXCITED. YESYESYES. I actually cried when they were showing the full extent of his trauma and I love the ML and Doyun’s friendship it’s the best AND WHEN HE ENDED UP BEING HER SOULMATE.. HELP?? It’s such a good one like I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen. Im so glad the sister and Doyun finally got together like everyone wanted it. They cut the uncle a bit too much slack I think like who arranges a car accident for their dead sister’s kids because her husband wasn’t mourning enough ☠️.. also fuck you Michelle commenter. He was 9 years old and his mother died and then his best friend and crush died back to back, he was stuck under her for HOURS before they got help OFC HE’S TRAUMATIZED. HE’S NOT WEAK. He’s obviously not weak he beat up a bunch of gang members, like dude just had some serious trauma it doesn’t make him weaker or stronger. The FL is obviously strong but she’s been shaped by her existence of having to lose loved ones again and again and again she has a Interdemon all the bad memories go to.. like if the ML had that he would be “strong” as well. Doyun fan club anyone?

Promised Orchid

I get being on your guard but cmon you’d trust the eye ball monster dude rather than another specter that hasn’t killed any humans.. mkay. Also why and how tf did she lose trust in him. He has been there for you this ENTIRE STORY. HE HAS BEEN RISKING HIS LIFE TO HELP YOU. REMEMBER?? But because of some memories from your PAST LIFE. You can’t trust him? What? It makes ZERO sense. He has done nothing against you?? Why do you judge him off a past that he didn't even know?? Like he didn’t have alternative motives at the beginning obviously, why would that change? What’s worth risking everything over? Green hair plotsaver needs to get his act together. You’re telling me you took over 999 souls but only 1 soul made you feel regretful? And you gave them this insanely powerful artifact for the laughs and giggles??? Dumbass. And you would be so much more helpful if you didn’t just hop in and out of reality when it’s most convenient. Who are you anyways Vinson-knockoff? The power crept hill is so steep.. like is Belly strong or not because o seriously can’t tell . It’s like the powers just change whenever it’s most convenient. Also tree man why are you talking to her about her past life she doesn’t not remember.. AND WHY IS SHE TALKING ABOUT HER PAST LIFE LIKE IT’S HER CURRENT ONE? Ugh annoying asf. Golden crown is definitely the MC’s past life’s dad or some shit because they have the same eyes they both glow red when they’re using their powers. Also we love a overpowered boss but where tf were them while all the monsters were leaking out.. like it’s been happening for a week and they know about it but they’re just sitting around in the HQ? Ohhhh it was that dude, makes sense. NOOO PLOT CONVENIENCE GUY JINLANG NOOO. Maybe in the next life he and the eye covered underling will meet and fall in love . Poor fox baby waaaa. JINLANGGG.. he reminds me of Jellal. The MC’s past life looks just like technoblade or natsu. The FL is like Shinobu from demon slayer. The President is giving Evergreen from fairy tail too, like that attack pattern and the glasses?!?! Ugh I hate how Golden Crown looks, also idk how it took so long to connect him being made of eyes with how he borrows (aka steals) people’s eyes. Oh wow what a bitter sweet ending.. they meet again and they love their happiness lives but only once. Ow my heart it hurts . Stupid mages and seperters. I’m confused who’s the grandma at the end I’m rlly bad at names.. was it the phone girl? But the ML and FL are both young still? Also WHY DID SUNBAE HAVE TO DIEEE.. honestly the most heart crushing death.. he raised phone girl and went thru almost the whole story with the main cast.. and at the end he sacrifices himself to protect the FL.. WAAAA. The forbidden love of their past life is everything.. also it was kind romance and non at all it’s kinda weird like that.

UGHHH IT’S JUST AS GOOD AS THE FIRST TIME although I don’t remember the detective reuniting with his sister so quickly. The joys of not having a daily pass to deal with Frfr… IT’S SO GOOODDDD. Like the detective and hayan are the best ship EVER. They are MEANT TO BE. BAAL AND THE DETECTIVE ARE THE BEST FRIEND DUO WE ALL LIVE FOR. Yohan. YOU COULD’VE BEEN SUCH A GOOD ML. Don’t blame him for turning evil and killing his classmates but her parents? Really? Then you try to murder her even tho she was the only joy and light in your life? Nah man that’s just a bad take. And he is just oml. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE ANGELS OF DEATH. Lucian, Sahan, Ash, Mamon, Baal and Gore. Only Ash and Baal deserved to live so I’m glad they did. Lucian was so full of himself even tho he was a weak ass bitch compared to the other guys. Sagan was a red flag, like preying off of vulnerable abused high schoolers… and Yohan was like yup that wasn’t me or anything. Sigh.. Mamon is too much and too little, creepy prev who is a walking talking red flag. And good old gore. He has a funny name given how we see him do none of that. OKAY BUT ASH AND BAAL aka Lion King. ASH IS JUST… LIKE it’s honestly really sad just like the rest of the poeople but I can’t really feel that bad for her. I jsut like her character development when she realizes her wrongdoings but it really was her fault for the incident. She misunderstood her best friend, made her uncomfortable, and murdered her. Yes it’s upsetting and tragic but that is what happens and I’m glad she actually takes accountability unlike SOMEONE *cough* Yohan *cough*. AND MY FAVORITE ANGEL OF DEATH!!! BAALLLLL. Same name as the Raiden Shogun!! Anyways, holy shit everyone else can fuck off he’s the best and I can’t be convinced otherwise. HE HAS SUCH PURE INTENTIONS HE JUST WANTS TO SAVE DANIEL! He didn’t really kill people (not in the series anyways) and without him they would’ve never gotten to the end. He’s just the best objectively and there’s no denying that. Baal x Ash is the best ship too. LEVYY GIRLL. I really hope she finds her own happiness.. Yohan is so cruel couldn’t even smile when it was her last wish (even tho she isn’t dead but yk). Levy needs to atone for her crimes but I really hope she can find some sort of interpeace for herself. Yohan really did care about her but not the in romantic way, the fact he saved her from dying twice and tried to put her out of harms way proofs that enough. It sucks he is so mentally, emotionally and physically unstable to ever give her the happiness she wanted. During that one episode Yohan asked Levy why she stayed with him even tho the rest of the Angels of Death were dying and the way he started kissing her after the answer really shows this whole “do something good and get rewarded” relationship. She said what he wanted to hear and he rewarded it by giving her what she wanted which was his attention and affection. Yohan is just something else. Like he ruined Earth and saved it too?? (with the vaccine yk) so wtf was he doing… like I said extremely unstable. The only peace for him was death so it’s good he died! He’s so stupid … and his tormentors will burn for eternity for creating this monster. “I thought you were sent by god but I’m glad you weren’t.” It’s funny since being sent by god is usually a good thing in our world but it means smth else in theirs. Anyone who ships Yohan x Hayan also deserve to bleed. Like they would be SO UNHEALTHY. HE MURDERED HER PARENTS??? I feel like it wouldn’t have even worked if he didn’t do that… they’re in too much of a sibling relationship and like in his eyes she’s his savior. It’s a bit of a inbalance yk?

Holy shit like this one was actually so good. Fell in LOVE after the first chapter. It was just like oh! Oh! OH! I knew it was that blue bitch, he was so suspicious. ML gives Lucas vibes and I love it but Lucas is a bit more emotional stable I think. And it was like a rlly good mystery bc I was hooked and like the childhood friends to reunited lovers is my FAVORITE troupe. Also the cover slays sm, it had the BL and the mafia in it and it’s so cute. “My tomorrow became you” IF THATS NOT A T SWIFT LYRIC IDK WHAT IS. August slipped away like a moment in time….. Would love to reread when I don’t remember as well but who knows! Second time is key. Like WMMAP is so good but idk if I’d want to reread it (bc she never ducking picks a ML)!! Still stuck on Lucas my bad. Stop I love the ML. He’s such a little asshole but also like in a likable way somehow. “A coupon for what?” “A kiss” “A what…?” “I was actually gonna suggest having s*x but I thought that was too much.” STOP. “One kiss isn’t enough so I’m gonna to have to find the reason.” I LOVE THIS FUCKING ML. Bro the MC is so nice. Ik that’s the whole point but he’s way too nice. I love the MC sm. He’s so nice but blunt. I CANNOT. “I always knew it wasn’t my fault but the only thing I could do was apologize and hope that they wouldn’t push me away.” I CANT RN NO. THEN THE ML “I always knew I was lucky” JUST BC THE MC IS VISITING HIM. OH MY GOD. I can’t believe he was gonna sacrifice his life to catch August, only for August to be a political stunt.

THAT ATE?? Like at first I’m like dude pls do not date blondie bc he’s a MURDERER??? But then his backstory and it’s like omg. He’s the fucking victim and it’s so crazy. Then we LEARN HOW THEY MET. And omg when he was like “I’ve never loved you” MY HEART DROPPED. The twists and turns were so good and I was HOOKED. Historical BLs always slap sm. If this story ended like the one legged nutcracker and dancer story tho I would’ve cried more than I did. I WAS CRYING SM DURING HIS PRISON BACKSTORY. My poor baby hasn’t done anything omg.

Ongoing | Mo Xiang Tong Xiu | 2016 released

Probably shouldn’t read in public bc they literally put smut on the header and ends️ why? Idfk. Most of the story is very pure. Fair warning️ Love the ML in the manhua much more. “Then stay here the whole night” (30) AAAAA. Literally slay king. Also I like the MCs design here a lot better dunno why. Pop off ML. He’s sm better when he’s drunk in love the little “what do you think about me?” “Mine” (67). The ML is his sugar daddy lmao. WHATTT HE TOOK THE HEADBAND OFF FOR HIM (116). Broo… I see you man (118). What if the meaning of the headband??? I thought it was just like a uniform thing. ALSO FIRST KISS OMG (120). WAIT. SO LIKE IF THEY ONLY TAKE IT OFF FOR THEIR LOVER??? Bro no wonder everyone was so shocked. Shocking but not surprising!! (121). He’s going with him even tho everyone found out his real identity and wants to kill him️ The standard tbh (147). Cave scene is much more sensual here, lowkey giving the hunger games cave scene. You’re right abt the like part but wrong abt the person bud (154). I like the short flashbacks a lot more than the animated series one bc they had it all in a season and I have shitty memory! The poor ghost solider boy. He literally helped them and saved them but still ended up getting killed bc he was born in the Wen clan. Oh my he is sneaky (185). KISSED UNTIL HIS LEGS WENT WOBBLY WHATT… he’s got game guys (186). Throwing flowers at him is so cute what. Actually! I think some people should be murdered (195). THEY BLAME ALL THEIR FUCKING PROBLEMS ON THE MC WHEN THE MC HASNT DONE ANYTHING WRONG. If they would just fucking take accountability and not lust for power so much everything would be great. But no murder all the innocent people! Kill your savior! Kill your allies! Who cares! NOOO THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY. SISTER NO. NOOOO SHE’S DEAD. Bro I cant. It was so fast. The pacing is so fast here it’s hard to react…(205-6). SHIJIE NO. Bro kill all of these golden ppl. You just killed the WIFE OF YOUR LEADER’S DEAD SON. Silence their ass️ (210). Maybe the time jumps are confusing! I got it tho, they left a little note that I missed lmao. ALSOO HIM SNUGGLING WITH ML IS SO CUTE AND TAKING HIS HEADBAND OFF (218). The cultivators are more mindless than the zombies. They hear one thing and they try to kill it immediately (220). AWW THE EXPLANATION AT THE BOTTOM… the poor ML was friend zoned after the MC said he wanted to marry him (in his own head but yk) also don’t be homophobic bro (222). WHAT. MC GAVE HIM HIS GOLDEN CORE??? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE… the MC is actually such a selfless and kind person. He gave up EVERYTHING for other people and was still killed at the end. Some kind of villain. The real bad guys are the people who point fingers at everyone else for their issues. Blame and kill the innocent just to feel superior (223-4). It’s always the quiet ones with the biting kinks ain’t it. The TENSION. Also I love drunk ML he’s so silly (231). Their relationship seems much more important to talk abt! (235). YOU COULD LIVE A HUNDRED LIFETIMES AND NEVER DESERVE THAT BOY. He went against his own clan for him. THE ML DID. Even tho he’s been nothing but loyal and following. Then he took the punishment too bro (236). “I sincerely wanted to sleep with you” IN FRONT OF HIS BROTHER??? I mean it worked! He got out. A time and place buddy (237). Subtly is NOT their best quality but it’s okay guys. Can’t stand even being a little apart from each other (239). Why is bro so mad. The MC IS selfless for helping him. He never told him bc he didn’t want him to find out, why are you so mad. He never asked for you to thank him. It’s bc he cared that much abt you. Instead of blaming HIM for everything, blame the ppl who are doing the fucking evil. Good he has some common sense. I do feel for the guy but he’s such a ass sometimes it’s hard to feel bad for him (241-2). THE CLOUD DISCIPLE IS THE LITTLE BOY FROM BEFORE OMG (255). Okay it ends at 259 bc the last two are uncolored and repeats. ANWYAS. Even tho it’s over 200 chapters, it was WAY too fast. I couldn’t get into anything bc it was go go go. Maybe I just read too fast. ANYWAYS. They need to slow down the pace. I was watching the show first and I couldn’t grasp how the romance between the two mains would work but it rlly worked. Like the cultivator of the demon clan x the star pupil of the gusu clan. It was so nice. They were so in love too. ML fell first and fell harder. The MC is so silly. He also deserves the world so I’m happy he’s finally happy despite everything he’s able to move on. I wonder if fan boy was rlly the mastermind behind everything, major respect if that’s the case. Soooo… I got distracted in the romance and I have no clue who the ghost hand belongs to… or what the golden brother did…! Yay? Still good. Also the beef between the translators. Underland scans is like “don’t read the translations from lalamanga” and then the next chapter is posted by lalamanga. Rlly bad translations too! As much as I feel for purple boy, he’s an asshole. He supported MC until it wasn’t helpful for himself and then he didn’t stand up for the innocent Wen even tho they saved his life and he tortured ppl just bc they did demonic cultivation. I get he lost his whole family but that was also MC’s family and he still had the empathy.

The Art of Taming A Tiger

Complete | Kom | 2019 released

I was holding off on reading this bc I didn’t think it would be that good BUT OMG IT WAS GOOD. Firstly I love exorcist stories️ + the next door neighbor troupe. The clean romance and the mystery. I think we all forgot he was a student in college after season 2 bc he never goes to school after that LMAO. I absolutely ADORE his brother. He was willing to do anything for MC even at the cost of himself. How did the author not see the TENSION they put between the villain and MC’s brother tho… bc there was a lot. It’s definitely not healthy but the villain was clearly obsessively in love with the MC’s brother, while I think the MC’s brother only liked him for a bit of time. C’mon… the villain gave him his NAME. Let’s Bffr. What’s up with these useless kings. You rule the world and only show up AFTER most ppl get killed?? And the ruler of the underworld jsut sleeps. Who are you, Aurora??? Like c’mon. The villain makes a point—you dumped ALL the responsibilities on him without giving him any authority. Also you’re an asshole for not giving the MC’s brother a name when you gave MC a name, it’s weird to call him a flower too… The romance between the MC and ML was so nice and refreshing. The mutual confession, the affection, the non-toxic relationship!!! Yes the ML hid secrets but he ended up telling him about it which is SO nice for a change. The name kinda made it me feel like it wouldn’t be good ☠️. The cat too!! He’s so cute. And the dragon son guy!!! Mc’s brother should’ve kept the long hair . It was so sad at the end when they could barely even reunite… it’s been YEARS let them hang out pls. I love their dynamic and THANK GOD he survived. Got a bit lost at the end but just don’t think too much and it’s good.
