그라고레이느스's manga / #manhwa(102)

[On-going] ‘It is so bad, I want to give [it] a zero [...]’. This one is in my top of my recommendation list of stories to never read in one's life. Advice: avoid it at all price! However, if anyone is curious, I would personally tell you not to support the creator since they seem to support what happens in the story. If you are sensitive to graphic content, do not read it. It contains a heavy depiction of rape, abuse, graphic violence. Every chapter is a pain to read. Once again: avoid it at all price! Even if I would not support the creator if I were you, the official work (새디스틱 뷰티:외전) can be found on bomtoon.com.

Translated webtoon in English can be found on m.tapas.io.

The translated story can be found on m.tapas.io.

I was quite sceptic at the beginning but the characters seem to each have real depth which is really enjoyable. The art style is also quite pleasing to my taste. I can't say much more for the moment, out of the fact that the story is based on a commonly used plot where the main character is manipulated by a friend who's interested in them. The original work (킬 스위치) can be found and supported on ridibooks.com.

It is a beautiful plot. I was not that fond of the sex scenes (even if they had their meaning which I liked). It overall tackles grief, depression, bullying... and how to get through it: how to take a step forward. It is not made for people who are probably still struggling with any of the topics said above. However, for anyone else, it is great to take a look at it. The ending is actually what made me reach such a high marking. The story did make me cry plenty of times but the sex scenes made it dull to me. Altogether, I still thought the ending was nice. (In order to know what type of ending the story has, please refer to the asterisk*.) In the end, I would say it is a story that is kind of motivating to make the decision to move forward and slowly getting one's life together, in a way. Home Alone Together can be found on lezhin.com. *Home Alone Together is a plot with a happy ending.

[On-going] This is a story that charmed me but the full reason remains unknown. The characters are really intriguing and this makes me enjoy the story a lot more than expected. The art style, with its colour pallet, is just amazing. Bonus: I love that one of the character owns a dog. Honestly, it is an omegaverse but do not let it trick you; unlike many, the story does not focus on this famous second gender but instead, focuses on the character's personality and sole background. It is a nice choice of the author to smoothly implement the omegaverse. I am really looking forward to it. I am fond of the two major characters. Side note: I do not think it is necessary to know the previous work of the author (which has no official translation) in order to follow Do You Still Like Me?. I, personally, still did not read or look at this previous work. The translated work can be supported on lezhin.com.

I enjoyed the plot. The characters' growth is so wholesome. The art is nice. The almost monochrome webtoon with its touch of colours linked to emotions or personal characteristics are well chosen, I'd say. It also does take place in a realistic scenery (with depiction of homophobia and bullying too). The BDSM part of the story seemed to be quite faithful with no toxic relationship between the main S&D partners. I have to admit they make quite a hot pair. Finally, I recommend it to anyone who would like to give it a try. I have re-read it plenty of times already since I find the story entertaining with good additions of various emotions.
