Hollow Lovers
Wow. This was so well done and I’m glad I gave it a shot. Their relationship really developed into something beautiful, and the characters felt real. They had organic reasons to do things and I love the coming out “epilogue” with the mom. Probably was my favorite part, it was nuanced and realistic. I really recommend it!!
A Painter Behind the Curtain
Incredible series. Had a super interesting plot and good pacing. Loved seeing the characters grow and the art was amazing. I love that it was about more than just the relationship! The world-building was great.
Punch Drunk Love
I love this so so much! I laughed a ton throughout and I really liked both characters. The MC is a really refreshing and unique character! I love that he doesn’t give an F about what people think, he speaks his mind and doesn’t compromise his values. Their dynamic is hilarious! It’s the first time I’ve enjoyed misunderstandings trope because here it’s taken to extremes and played for laughs. It’s super entertaining and I can’t wait for more!
Kimi to no Dogfight
This took me by surprise! The romance was really sweet and well developed. I loved both characters and they didn’t feel cliche. I’ve never seen a premise where both gamers were nekamas! That was a pretty funny twist. I definitely want to read more by this author bc I really enjoyed it! Also the ex girlfriend helped them get together which was a welcome change of pace!
