Dead man Switch
9 Same author as Profundis. Probably that’s why I’m enjoying it SO MUCH. Beautiful art, broody ml (that hurts my heart bc you can tell how much pookie has suffered). Zombiesss, and game reset plot/time loop? It’s really interesting, and slow burn as well. Really really enjoying
Tale of the Yellow Dragon
8 Fruit baskets meets bl. Love the art (especially the coloring details). Plot is plotting. So damn angsty. PAIN. The flashbacks of him old always got me in my feels. Sobbing!!! I wish we got some side stories. I would have given an 8.5 if there were a bit of happy moments in it too. It was almost too much angst, which was why I couldn’t read the whole thing in one go and took a several month wait in between. But overall it was *really* good!!

10 The plot is absolutely FIREEEEE. I felt all range of emotions. I sobbed, laughed like a maniac, I giggled, I gasped, I fangirled, I got super enthralled in the action scene and unfolding plot… it was truly a remarkable experience. Such a masterpiece I came across. I completely understand why it’s regarded so highly (and this comes from someone who has read a lot of game/system manhwas). The scene when he understood HE was the one that killed his father and his mother was protecting him this whole time HAD ME SOBBING REALLY UGLY. Greatest piece of fiction I have ever read I relate so hard to Kim Dokja, as a chronic “Dokja” myself. It hits pretty hard. I relate to him on a spiritual level damn. He's my animal spirit Also, for me Kim dokja x Yoo Jonghyuk are canon idc (though kdj is shippable with pretty much all characters)!
How To Raise A Victim?
8 I’m confusion. The most kind fuck fuckingdy fuker I have ever read. It keeps you on your toes *the whole time*!!! Incredibly unpredictable. It’s truly a rollercoaster experience. AND ANGST DAMN…THE FEELS AAAA
Preference for the Possessor
8.5 (potential 9 depending on s3 and 4) I loved loooooved this one!!! The art style is top top tier. 'Cleaner' looking than Diteftv and the such, but so so damn good. Truly a treat for the eyes. And the plot is sooo good and refreshing. Basically as if shounen and shoujo had a baby-- truly the best of both worlds: an action-focused system isekai plot and an OP mc with shoujo romantic historical elements, a fmc and the characteristic god like art style!! So so much fun. I mean I'm always a sucker for system manhwas novels, and this one isn't an exception. It combined many of my beloved tropes: system, isekai, dungeons, OP mc, tower, regression, loop, constellations. The constellations were really funny. It reminded me a lot of ORV (as well as the perpetual regression aspect)!! It also reminded me of tbate (with the whole training arc, being isekai'd super young, etc), and other dungeon shounens (sss class revival, sl, etc). And all the characters were so scrumptious yum yum. The ML DAMN. Choke me daddy eheh. I love his character design: white hair and blue eyes corrupted (?) priest. He looks so damn majestic. Give me 14 more of them rn!!!(seriously I need more shoujos like this) And his personality is also top top (tho i haven't met post regression ml, poor baby). The brother is also the best cutie pie, I want him lol. The mc is a badass relatable character, the bestie is so bestie-like (and wednesday coded) and even the parents are adorable (and badass lol, especially the mommyyyy. step on me mommy). All the characters have so much aura (and great designs). The plot so far has been fun, tho a bit (too?) calm and seamless given she keeps saying how deadly the novel she isekai'd into is... but these 2 seasons were essentially just a (very fun) intro into the *actual* plot. Technically these whole ass 70 chapters were just the trial, so it makes sense it is tamer. I can't wait for s3. I don't really know what to expect, but I hope it doesn't disappoint. I'll have to let it marinate for at least a year. I might even let it marinate until it gets complete so I can reread and binge the whole thing start to finish lol I NEED MORE ACTION SHOUJOSSS
