Sand and Song of the Seas

Complete | You Shi , Misha | 2000 released

I read this back on webcomics and finished it on zinmanga. It was called 'Pharaoh's Concubine' when I first found it! I read it when it first ever came out on webcomics and fell in love with it! I love the story and all of the twists and turns! I love how it ends with Sese(Ramses)'s reincarnation reuniting with Ivy(Nefertari)! The story was filled with so much emotion and I loved every bit of it! There were times where I felt slightly annoyed by certain charcters but it never lingered for long... all in all, I think this deserves a standing ovation and if this story ever had a show or something, I would definitely watch it! It has made me way more interested in the egyptians history! I love it so much and it will definitely be close to my heart!

A Painter Behind the Curtain

Complete | MUNAMU | 2000 released

Honestly, I don’t know how to describe this. It’s amazing. So amazingly good. It was painful, beautiful and it really makes you wonder. The main character, Ian, looks at the world so innocently and peacefully that it almost seems as if he can’t see the bad in it. Raymond, on the other hand, couldn’t see anything in the world but hatred, betrayal and many other horrible things. Such polar opposites and yet they attracted each other. I felt so immersed in the story and I choked up a few times honestly. I almost cried too. I would love to reread this sometime soon. I don’t even know how else to describe it. Truly, it’s an amazing story and it shows how much a person’s emotions can affect them. Raymond lost himself falling in love with Ian. He was pitiful, to say the least. He only had his eyes on revenge and nothing else but because that’s all he’s been striving for, he couldn’t even tell that he had loved Ian until Ian was kidnapped. Ian was also pitiful. So blinded by love that although he could see all Raymond’s faults and wrongdoings, he still decided to stay with him. Only when he had escaped from being kidnapped did he realise what a horrible life he had endured for the sake of love. I had doubts on whether the story would end with a happy ending or not but I’m glad that it turned out the way it did. The fact that Raymond and Ian worry about things so trivial means that they finally can live an ordinary life. Sure, they will have problems from time to time but that just shows that they truly are together. I’m happy. I don’t regret reading this at all. I would stay up at 2:30am again just to read this. I love it. It’s a masterpiece. Truly. I’m happy

Rumspringa no Joukei

Complete | Azuma kaya | 2000 released

Where has this been my whole life TT it’s absolutely beautiful. The story is so painful yet beautiful. A boy who has no knowledge of the world and a person who had big dreams and ambitions. I didn’t even know a religion known as Amish even existed but I suppose you learn smth new everyday. The story portrays the modern world quite amazingly. Although not as modern as now, it portrays the beauty of the world while also showcasing the demons and nightmares we face. Theo changed himself to fit the modern world for the one he loved and it’s honestly admirable of him. Leaving his family after rumspringa permanently for Oz shows how much he loved him. It’s not an easy thing to do. I didn’t think I’d tear up from this story but it was amazing. I recommend this to anyone looking for a story that would just wrench your heart out. It’s just beautiful to see how love is portrayed

Dear Gene

Complete | Azuma kaya | 2019 released

This author really knows how to pull at my heart. It's the kind of story that touches you really deep down and fills you with all kinds of feelings. It is a beautiful tragedy that portrays a boy who had such high expectations of himself, only to be struck by reality. And it's bitter sweet to see Gene grow from that with the help of Trevor. Their love was a young one and to them, having each other was such a huge part in their lives so I'm happy that they reunited with each other after so many years. I think they both are happy with their current selves now and that will surely reflect on an even happier relationship. It's a story that will live in your heart.
