The Fifth Encounter

Spring Snow (Odongtong) Webtoon
bruh i read this once bc i missed tbe tragedy tag and never again this is Depression in 3 chapters bc the rs was built up so well and so COMPELLINGLY :'((((((( god
Goodbye Lilac
sobbing in the club lol this is love honestly this is the first bl ive read that i tot hey maybe mc rly is straight ejsjwhshwshansj but it all turned out well the ml is so precious and deserving of love the shit they pulled on him is so cruel but at least he got somewhat of a happy ending !! i usually hate student x teacher rs and this tackles the issue well with no romanticisation of the trope since it continues once ml is older and also a teacher v cool
Lover Boy
this caused me so much physical pain to read the angst and emotional complications were too fucking devastating lol the human psyche is amazing to be able to cause this much complication with the characters just talking and having sex LMAO the rs was so intense being stretched over a few years w the ml being relentless in his love and the mc being completely shit at communication but the whole thing was justified and relatable w the rl issues that could and do occur. i am so ready to read the fluff ending bc they so deserve to be happy after the shit they went thru LMAO i hope they go to therapy lol
A Shoulder to Cry On
the writing of this is actually tremendous im kind of speechless LOL it starts of rly bizarre and infuriating and ur here wondering what the heck is with this dude and so is the mc and so ur both swung into this whirlwind of an extremely compelling story not just about the ml but also with the mc and how their stories intertwine EVERYTHING about this makes me feel something inexplicable towards the end i was like a leaking tap even tho nothing sad was rly happening lol idek if this existential type of melancholy is what the author intended but whatever they did def worked this was just written rly well esp the 'voiceover' parts starting in third person then delving into first person with both mc's and ml's thoughts playing simultaneously and my literature student ass could dissect it all here but i'll keep it in my brain even tho this got very sad it was equally morbidly funny and made me laugh thru the tears and thats the mark of any good piece of story for me phew
Momentum
big fucking SWOON this author pins down atmosphere so precisely this universe felt so expansive and gorg !! a bunch of short stories that are loosely connected by acquaintances but all have their own main love stories 1: actor x actor (sweet showbiz shit and im in love) 2: photographer x mysterious muse (lost interest and skipped it oops but prob interesting) 3: age gap w director (standard adult fun) 4: 'aroma therapist' aka rent a dom (v emotional lol right person at the wrong time
Shounen Houkokusho
so short but this pure child's perspective on love and family is making the tears FLOW TONIGHT!!! bigotry n discrimination truly is taught and not innate
500-nen No Itonami

Bongchon Bride
