Love History Caused by Willful Negligence
7.5 Started off slow paced. To the point I momentarily dropped it despite the *gorgeous* art. Also the uke being so naive and spineless was irking me. But I grew to find it endearing and loveable. Also, the ML is sooo hot damn. A hot psycho. It’s giving Ilay but in a different font. I’m glad that I picked it up again, since I actually had a good time reading it the second time!! That said, the ml is a complete red flag damn. Poor uke. There better be a chasing arc
Checkmate(TAN)
9 The vibes are truly unmatched. The angst, the yearning, the contradicting emotions. Ugh I love it. Also, The art style and overall tone of the manhwa reminds me of Low Tide in Twilight!! Perfection. It made me cry and relate to it very much. Especially when it came to the all consuming academic drive. A lot of anecdotes really resonated with me. I love the dynamic between mc and ml! Love me a whiny possessive power bottom, and the ml is such a golden retriever. I’m so happy my pookies are happy together now!! And that everyone is free from that pedo perv old man. I’m only not rating it higher bc very occasionally it got a bit slow paced/slightly boring. I put off finishing the side stories for a long time since I was not emotionally ready to let go. It’s bittersweet now that I finally finished reading it in its entirety. Checkmate will be missed I wish there were even more side stories, but the ending felt suitable
Time's Up
7 It’s kinda trashy and the sexual revenge is a way too extreme, even if the bullying was that severe… is what I would have said if the mc didn’t keep fucking annoying me. Every time I start feeling bad for him he opens his foul mouth and then I’m like HEH NEVERMIND YOU BIATCH. It’s honestly much more addicting than I expected eheh. They are all so toxic. I wish there were more bullied gets revenge on bully by turning him into a bottom eheh Update: I just finished and tfffff wdym ‘the end’. That was the most abrupt ending I’ve read so far. Idk how to feel abt it. Might lower it to a 7
The Pawn's Revenge
10!! Might be my favorite by so far. I absolutely loved this one. I got so emotionally attached to this story, it’s crazy. Their bond was absolutely intoxicating, in the best way possible. I love when emotionally broken people find and care for each other. I feel like a piece of me also finds some healing and comfort from it. Such a masterpiece. It’s definitely my comfort manhwa. The mc is probably my all time fave (at least of the bl genre. Kim Dokja is my number 1 man eheh). He’s so broken but so fucking sassy. I love my Se Oh. My precious babies are now each other’s home <3 aaaa. I hope they get the revenge they deserve and get their happy ending (Reread once s3 is over)
Payback
9.5 I love this one with my heart and soul. I related way too hard to the depressive antidotes. It’s such a beautifully written bl. The characters have so much depth, the plot is complex and masterfully developed in a perfect pace, the tension and slow burn is tantalizing (in the best way possible), there’s a lot of comedy relief and a few heart warming moments whilst dealing with complex mental and emotionally topics and the art is beautiful. Truly a beautifully written masterpiece. Also waiting 80 chapters for them to finally do ur was so wroth it. And it got too real and emotional towards latter chapters.
The Way to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother
9 Quite good. Art was stunning. Family Adam vibes but better. Truly depraved but in the best way. Wish there was a little sprinkle of smut. That would make it an all rounder gem. The novel is R19, we’ve BEEN ROBBED!!!! Petition to make it Josei. The fl is also one of my FAVESSSS. She’s the standard eheh

Flower of the Sun
8.5 I actually got super invested in this one!! It pulled on my heart strings. The art is gorgeous, and I love the connection between the Mc and the seme (and ofc the crown prince is utter trash). And honestly seeing a big bulky uke was hot af. I love how unconventional it is since he is taller and bigger than the seme(s). Also him allowing himself to be degraded to such extent just to protect those dear to him..
