Sekai de ichiban toui koi
LOVE THE CHARACTERS, they're my precious babies! good depiction of a deaf character; resonated with the violin player! I absolutely adore this author & the art style! Rating: 10/10; 6 chapters in total (gimme more of them!!!)
Nagahama to Be, or Not to Be
YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE GRAVITY OF THE MATTER WHEN I SAY: I NEED MORE OF THEM. Possibly/EASILY one of my top faves! THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS BABIES! Absolutely adore Beriko's work!!! Fucking hell, the art is just stunning! I basically saved the whole thing at the rate I was going. Rating: 10/10 NO NOTES. A fave, are you fucking kidding me; 7 chapters in total (I NEEEED MORE.)
The Man in the Mirror
The art is beautiful! Loved the concept (teleporting to a different place through the mirror), wish it was more fleshed out. Love the family dynamics that give depth to the mcs. I'm glad it wasn't a story around parallel worlds per se but more of teleporting to a different place in an instant (it wasn't a different era/period of time as far as I could tell??). Rating: 8.5/10; 5 chapters in total (would happily read more of them ngl)
Oh! My Assistant Webtoon
Frustrating at times when they were both walking on egg-shells around each other a bit. Overall, fun read in the end. Love the characters and the plot progression, glad to see that Junseok wasn't a total asshole! <33 Rating: 10/10; 46 chapters in total (would happily read more of them ngl)
Joou to Shitateya
Now that was an age gap story done well. I love it when the older of the two is the bottom, makes it feel balanced with the power imbalance (age-wise). Rating: 9/10; 9 chapters in total (would love to read more of them further into their lives together) P.S. I should probably read the author's other work from this universe!!!!
Dangerous Convenience Store
Solid plot progression & had instances of good character development as well!!! I was hooked for their will they/won't they. It wasn't too "toxic" but just enough to create a bit of tension. Rating: 8/10 solid work; approx. 100 chapters in total (still would happily read more of them ngl)
The Specific Heat Capacity of Love
heartbreaking one-shot. this was a beautiful depiction of an extended metaphor through its stunning art style. destined to be a romance, doomed tragedy just because of who they are. Rating: 9.5/10; some aspects of it might've been lost in translation but I wish it were a little more coherent
Kyou Mo Ashita Mo Asatte Mo
Teacher x Student as he graduates high school. Student falls for the teacher and confesses to him. The teacher rejects him (bc it's immoral) at first. They end up getting together after he graduates. The student is the top so that balances things out a little. The teacher looked young but I'm unsure just how big of an age gap they had because I don't think it was canonically discussed. LOVE THE ART + cute af stray cat (the teacher takes him in bc it has the same vibe as the student) is featured!!! Rating: 7 just a little above average; 10 chapters in total
The Good Teacher
Ahh now THAT was a fun read! very loosely reminded me of If We Were Villains (because of the theatre club aspect alone), the themes (vibes) are VERY different from each other! Actually reminded me more of that Larry fic where they meet bc of a Craigslist ad! XD (I think it was Of Mates & Men??) Such a well-developed plotline, I was utterly immersed in it!! Love their dynamic and the pacing of the story!! Rating: 10/10; 48 chapters in total (honestly would gladly eat up a whole lot more of these two!!)
