King's Maker
Fantastic, but I wouldn't read the first season because it's super triggering. Currently on the second season and loving it. Chapter 51 (Second season) ~ Chapter 58
Hollow Lovers
Two men who seem to be the complete opposite of each other -- one adrift and sleeping with anyone in order to have a place to live, the other completely and wholly focused on his fashion business -- meet and end up in a platonic relationship with each other. The former ends up using his latent talents to build up the empire of the latter, who is on the edge of success. It is a story of friendship, a story of later romance, and the depth of two complex characters, their relationship with each other, their contributions to the fashion business, and their histories. There's also a subplot of kidnapping and attempted rape (which at first seems so left field but is done with enough grace for me -- and ends up fitting into the larger plot of the fashion industry -- to go along with it). 5 stars for plot, depth and complex characters. ~Chapter 91
Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Welcome to Tokyo Crazy Paradise, the alternate future of Japan's capital, Tokyo.

Once she becomes his bodyguard, things start to unfold, and even in Tokyo Crazy Paradise, not everything is what it seems... ~Chapter 110
