The Girl and the Geek

Complete | Huryunhwa,Dagab | 2000 released

I'm not really a fan of sex and kids in my romances, but pretty much everything here is excellent otherwise. The pacing, progression in the relationship, characters, comedy, it's really got it all. And they don't drag things out for no reason!

Emperor, Stay Here, Your Knight's Getting Off Work

Ongoing | Chanduck | 2019 released

GIVE ME MORE Edit: It's still pretty good but some parts could be improved.

Our Companionship

Complete | ken,ant studio | 2019 released

I'm glad someone finally picked this up again, it looks really promising! EDIT: Forgot to say I dropped it, don't remember why, probably boredom.

Don’t Come Near My 10M Boundary

Ongoing | Lamplight | 2000 released

the drama is really getting out of hand. It's a great series but like at least have them try to get out of the bad situation instead of living with it? It's not much of a BL if they don't spend any time together... EDIT: Fam this is trash. The couple only see each other for like 3 panels every 5 chapters and even then it's just to have another fight. The rest of the run time is them spending time around other men who are in to them, including going on dates. It's not even just 1 they got multiple suitors each that get introduced one after the other just to make sure that nothing gets resolved. I'm sorry author but I can tell you're stalling, you need to learn how to write a couple after they start dating. And the MC is dumb as a brick, with the LI flip flopping between actual logic that gets shot down and the most random out of nowhere decisions you could imagine. I can't tell if he's acting out of character or not because his character is whatever the story needs him to be at that moment.

Affectionately

Complete | 켐제 (kemje),켐제 | 2019 released

Ugh who's that red haired creep? EDIT: Lmao is that really all I put in for this??? It's become like my favourite BL ever in 2 chapters. They're both all over each other and I love it. Normally you have one guy insisting on all the pda and the other rejecting him, so seeing them both stick to the other like glue is heavenly. Even though mc is shy he knows how to treat his man right and doesn't beat around the bush, so there likely won't be any dumb misunderstandings either. EDIT 2: I moved it back down. I've gone from hating the third wheel to lowkey thinking he deserves MC more than his actual bf. Bro, that blond fucker shoved your lover down the stairs and you hardly seem to care! Even worse, when the other guy punches him like he deserves you stop him and treat the fuckers wound? He keeps getting all touchy feely too. Start setting some boundaries before MC realises you don't deserve him and gets an upgrade. EDIT 3: Ending is rushed to all hell, apparently the author was told to wrap it up by episode 40 and it shows.

Sica Wolf Webtoon

Complete | Siya,Coin | 2000 released

Boy oh boy did I enjoy this one. Every time I thought there was a plothole, it got adressed later and in hindsight made perfect sense. Karsus appearing shirtless every 10 chapters or so was very welcome. They got together within a reasonable timeframe. The art is lovely. Not to say that I didn't have any problems with the series but overall it was a very positive experience and by the end I found myself grinning from ear to ear. EDIT: I didn't mention it before I believe to avoid spoilers but this is something that should be brought up so I'll be vague about it. Basically, somewhere really late in the series (like ch70??) Karsus randomly pulls a 180 and acts super concerning and then Sica's like "Jokes on you I'm in to that shit" and after that they go back to normal as if nothing happened. I had a real wtf bro moment when I first saw it and I'll never forget how it felt to have the wholesome fluffy atmosphere around them destroyed in an instant.

Starlight Scandal

Complete | Kr | 2019 released

I expected copper, and found gold. Seriously, it was so easy for them to fuck this up and yet it's so good I couldn't stop reading. At every turn I was going "Now I'm gonna drop this" and without fail I would be pleasantly surprised. At the start I thought the characters looked a little derpy but either I've grown used to it or the art improved because I never noticed it after around chapter 4. EDIT: Them actually dating feels weird now that it's happened, and I desperately hope this won't turn in to yaoi like most good series...

Dream Away

Complete | Lee Hana | 2019 released

Damn this was good. I ended up forgetting the now redeemed lowkey villains and even liked their little side story (I usually hate extra couples). Even better was the fact that both of our protagonists have guts. Boy it felt good to see that dickbag put in his place almost instantly after he started shit. Later on they kinda tried to give him more backstory, and while it worked out nicely and I enjoyed it I wouldn't say I forgive him. Luckily the story wasn't trying to force me to though.

Pairing Names

Complete | Do Mong | 2000 released

As to be expected, with only 8 chapters it was rushed. Not a bad read though.

A Shoulder to Cry On

Complete | Dongmul | 2000 released

I think I liked it but I forgot to mark it so uh...
