The Specific Heat Capacity of Love
Royal Servant
A nostalgic piece that gets worse with every re-read. The way their relationship started out irks me, especially the dub/non-con scenes. The plot was messy, and the character development was half-assed and shallow, which ruined the readability of this manhwa. Still, since it was one of my firsts, I can't bring myself to admit that I dislike it.

Reading such a heavy display of self-destructive behaviour out of guilt and self-hatred was oddly refreshing… The plot wasn't entirely baseless, Maki actually had a reason for going down such a path, which made my heart ache even more. While it was rushed, and definitely had the potential to become something greater, I'm relieved he got his happy ending.
Bound to Be Fools
Surprisingly, I managed to push through this absolute shit-show of a story. Gahyun truly fucked it up with Kangjin and Chisoo's relationship, but it's a realistic in the sense that it depicted what their relationship was lacking, which was trust. This roots from the fact that Chisoo's job doesn't allow him to truly love someone. It, understandably so, pushes Kangjin away. While what Chisoo did to Jungkwon was horrible, it goes over people's heads that he was raised to do the things he did, so it truly isn't fair that he got the short end of the stick. But what really made this a torture to read was how naive and absolutely stupid the MC was. His ideologies led to the downfall of his relationships, and unjustly hurt those around him. The Author also fucked up when it came to the story line; it's so messy that I found myself sobbing on the floor at 5 in the morning because of how annoying it was to follow. In the end, this is below a mediocre read. You cannot pay me enough to reread this.
