rainydays's manga / #fantasy(20)

this one got me running around in circles trying to understand wtf is going on, there is just too much going on at once but ironically enough, i like this a lot. its messy asf but i like the mini story structure whenever mc enters dungeon, and how dog blooded this is.

super interesting world buildings and great plot structure, it's slow moving but honestly one of the best manhwas I've ever read. 2nd couple is more my style though, i am desperate for updates

taehoon's average life is thrown out of whack when leo, a knight from another world, magically transports to modern day. it was pretty good from an art & plot aspect at the beginning, but i had to drop it after all of the graphic rape, i just couldnt continue. not likely to ever pick it back up despite the interesting storyline.

dojin gets isekaied into the world of yooguk, becoming emperor and lover to the yellow dragon. had me sobbing like a fucking baby the first time i read it, genuinely one of the best comics ive ever read. heavy leaning into the fantasy and a gut punch of emotion, with great art to boot.

ginger and rum are two best friends of different species that work at roman company together. liked the initial concept but halfway through it lost me, felt like the story went on for longer than it shouldve

fox and wolf hybrids hinata and kyouya get married to establish peace between their tribes, and fall in love despite the stigma associated with being 'freaks' this was an interesting read that went beyond the romance plotline, i liked the addressing of racism and general discrimination towards those who are different. kyuouyas mindset was heartbreaking and im glad they ended up together after coming to terms with their differences.

despite being reincarnated, satae still has the traumatizing memories of his past life and after encountering kwon chaheon, who looks just like his past life abuser emperor narye, satae decides to avoid him at all costs to prevent a repeat of the past. honestly as of right now it looks pretty run of the mill reincarnation with a scum love interest and abuse plotline, reminiscent of erha. rather than the past life, im more interested in seeing how the mc attempts to avoid chaheon.

izuki moves away from the city and into the mountains, and meets a lonely guardian spirit that refuses to be lonely any longer. was drawn in by the absolutely stunning cover but wow, did not expect to finish this on the verge of tears. art style is gorgeous, and minus the obligatory dub/noncon (not appreciated at all btw), this story progressed in a very melodramatic and heartfelt way. bittersweet ending but i choose to think theyre happy.

emperor heeyeon brings a goblin named yeoheun to his side in order to relieve his overheating body. aside from the dubcon at the beginning, this story was simple and quite a light read. though i do feel like the setup left me anticipating some more conflict, it felt like things just kinda wrapped up before there were any real problems. like, was the climax the moment yeoheun recalled his memories? if nothing happened after, what was the point of suppressing them in the first place? i feel like though this ended up as a decent read, it had a lot of potential that just did not take off due to lack of actual conflict given the circumstances. other than story, shin yuri does it again with amazing art, i absolutely adored the emperor's character design it was just so good.
