The Uninvited Guest On My Shoulder
7.5 Cute lil read!! The plot was nothing too innovative but it was still pretty entertaining! Also it was told from the seme’s POV which is refreshing
Paladin's Eden
7 It was so unserious, but it actually made me laugh. The booty juice, purifying holy cum, etc ahah. Entertaining short read!
Please Eat It, Spirit-nim!
7.5 Really pretty art, entertaining reading though a bit repetitive to other manhwas and nonsensical at times
Night Song
9 This manhwa is a true piece of art. It has the most gorgeous detailed art I’ve ever seen. It’s really an out of body experience to read on the art quality alone— details, colours, clothing, even the paper texture (and those dicks are absolutely majestic). And JAE SHIN GODDAM. He’s such a fine specimen, both in his puppy and demon form. The plot is also good tho kinda slow paced and partly carried by the god tier art. I love this story
Ghost Gate
8.5 The shit translation is ruining the reading experience but the manhwa is amazing. The horror and paranoia of it all is *chef’s kiss*. Reminds me of black mirror when it comes to the delirium/hallucinations and the thriller feel you get as a reader. Really REALLY good. It actually gave me goosebumps. And I read it at night with all lights off so it scared the shit out of me, I loved it. The mc gave me so much second hand embarrassment tho DAMN I wish it would be picked up for official translations
How to Survive as a Maid in a Horror Game
8 Really fresh twist to the isekai shoujo genre! The whiplashing mix of creepy horror and gore with self deprecating humor and romance undertones is quite interesting. Her being isekai’d into a maid is also fresh. The comedic moments and self deprecating second embarrassment is soooo good too. I love it. I love her morally dubious villain arc. Soooo tasty. And the art is so scrumptious yum yum Odor kink? Lick your water drops? Sniff your pillow?, How to survive life threatening situations? Be a pervert

10 Truly grotesque (in the best way possible). It's certainly not everyone's cup of tea--- but it is mine lmao. It's extremely gory and graphic... but it had no right being such a skilfully written story. It grabs your undivided attention from the start with its addictive weirdness. But it somehow gets better and better in ways you wouldn't expect. And unravels in such a poignant tragic manner. It comes full circle in such an emotionally striking way. It's truly so beautifully written. A rollercoaster of emotions that makes you reflect deeply about human nature and desires. It’s utterly heartbreaking and twisted, and so beautifully written. I love it and I hate it so much. It got me sobbing non-stop to the point of dehydration. The ending is heart wrenching, but it's the perfect ending for the story. It's the type of tragedy that you seem coming but can't escape its grasp nonetheless. The type of doom that breaks you completely in it being completely unavoidable... which makes it somehow so so much worse. It's such a poetic story, and masterfully delivered. The way J ends up killing himself so he could be finally free... PAINNNNN. He basically used Makoto to get him to say his name so he could be set free from his century-long loneliness (that comes from being the strongest unreachable individual). Just like Wald used Jonathan in the same manner… and how Makoto is now going to do with his future “disciple”. The self-fulling cycle of blinding obsession, and utter soul-crushing loneliness. That’s “Wald’s curse”. You rise to the top due to the obsession love-hate you nurture towards the initialed who took you in. Until you become stronger than them and can say their name. That becomes your only goal and motivation. Your only reason to exist, what allows to survive. Similarly, the initialed holds on to you like their one and only lifeline. Once they get you to say their names, they are finally free and able to kill themselves (demons can only die if they are completely forgotten or when saying the full name of a more powerful demon). Which leaves you empty since you no longer have your source of obsession and utterly lonely, with no way to put an end to your misery. Which leads you to look for a disciple that can outpower you eventually so you can finally be free……. And so the cycle continues. I'm not even sure if there ever was love between any of them... the way this antagonistic whirl of emotions is depicted is so poignant. Perfection really. A true masterpiece. It rips you apart. At the end of the day, they are all just agonizing in their loneliness and seeking for an escape to this ending all-consuming pit. (Just writing this is making me tear up in the middle of Starbucks lmao) The artstyle is also god tier. It manages to capture this contradicting emotions so rawly. One certainly needs to be open minded to enjoy this manga, but once you perceive it beyond its weirdness and gore, you can truly admire the masterpiece this is. Capturing this oh-so-utterly-human all-consuming seamingly-unescapable bottom-less loneliness
