"Just when Yeonduk thought he was finally going to be free of his tormentor (and family friend and crush, might we add), Seo Skyler – coolest kid in school – saunters his way into the same classroom. Skyler might look blessed (his sister’s even in a girl group), but he’s got some family issues that only Yeonduk can understand. Yeonduk is more than just star-struck, though, and when Skyler starts acting nice and walking to school with him, he can’t help but hope there might finally be more between them." ✰ Student x Student ✰ TW: Bullying, Abusive Parents ⤷ ch 44: so far this is like, very okay. i want to love it but tbh webtoons never hit it for me. skyler really sucked massive balls at the beginning and tbh i still ain't over it! i wish mr.chun was the MC, he's giving big daddy energy! ppl talkin bout how they cried reading this...my tear ducts have never been dryer. lmao. i just feel very whatever about this story i'm sorry ch 62: my feelings didnt change sorry bye. 2.7

Miraculously, he returns home and visits his ex-lover, but he was already with someone else. Ha Jo-yoon, who never experienced such a thing, falls helplessly and clings to his old lover who is trying to forget him. But then another man came into his life. This new man doesn't need affection - just enjoy carnal desires. It is the first time that Ha Joyoon has experienced separation and the responsibility of love in his thirty years of life." ✰ Boss x Subordinate ✰ Finding New Love After Break Up ✰ Annoying Ex ⤷ I was so heated at the beginning of this webtoon. my reading was fueled by rage, but now things have settled and i still like the story but it’s a little corny and i'm low-key laughing at it sometimes no offense. but while we're here, here's the rage novel i wrote about the ex and his new bf, lmfaooo: OK, I know I’m only like 16 chapters into this, but I am boiling with rage and I just need to say it fuck the ex-boyfriend and fuck the ex-boyfriend‘s new bitch. How the fuck are you gonna know someone for 30 years, date them for 10 years, and then find out they got shot and were a coma for five years, and then treat them like that. OK I get it. You wanna break up (apparently) then fucking do it properly and don’t treat them like a piece of shit. like are you kidding. and your new bitch that you’ve dated for a half a year said you can never see that person again, you’ve known that person your entire fucking life and now you’re just gonna cut them off. why the fuck did you even bother showing up to the hospital then you waste of time and space. I wish you the worst. stay the fuck out of the main characters life.

Sorry you are in a crusty dusty unfaithful untrustworthy anxiety riddled ass relationship that’s your fucking problem. You prayed on someone who was vulnerable and suffering at the loss of someone they were in love with so fuck you. You deserve this too. I hope you both have the worst fucking life and live every day with the regret. And I swear to God if the ex-boyfriend suddenly shows up when the main character is happy and in love with their boss, I’m gonna lose my fucking mind. You’ve played enough mind games on this sweet little angel stay the fuck away you made your bed now lie in it and die in it you disgusting degenerate. ex-boyfriend-san you’re really trying my mother fucking patience rn. what MC is doing is NONE OF UR BUSINESS!!!!!!!

As polar opposites, sophisticated and outgoing city slicker Narumi and country boy Haruki have a lot to learn from one another. After Haruki shows an interest, Narumi teaches him about photography... and before he realizes it, he finds himself the sole subject of Haruki's new hobby.

"Kang Chan and Seyeon have been close friends since they were young after being introduced by their parents. After entering high school, Seyeon suddenly received a confession from Kang Chan and became aware of Kang Chan since then. Meanwhile, Naeun is displeased with their relationship. The trivial and noisy story of their love triangle and those around them..." ✰ Student x Student ✰ Multiple Couples (~3-4?) ⤷ main couple storyline so quickly falls to the back burner LOL, but i didn't mind bc i like the 2nd couple more anyways. its a cute, quick read. pretty funny at times, but nothing super special yktv. cute art style.

"Juri, a 2nd Year at Inugashira High, has a daily routine: to feed the super-surly cat that lives down by the riverside. One day, when going to the riverside as usual, he encounters the cat in the arms of a man. Hiromi, a 2nd Year at Sarutou High, starts up a conversation with Juri, his bright, smiling face never wavering while playing with the cat. At that moment, a warmth that Juri had never felt before took root in his chest! However, in reality, Inugashira and Sarutou are two rival schools filled with delinquents that have been fighting for years! Juri spends his time with Hiromi without revealing his identity, but that tiny feeling in his chest is growing constantly. How will this pure Yankee, Romeo and Juliet-style BL turn out?!" ✰ Student x Student, Rival Schools ✰ Expressionless, Emotionless Seme ⤷ [3.5-3.75] it was too short and went by too quickly, but the art is great. The emotionless expressionless seme except w the one he likes is my favorite trope. I wish it was longer so it could’ve been fully flushed out. ending was kind of gay. but they're hot. mostly the seme.

"Izumi returns from a business trip to find his apartment ransacked to the bone. Practically penniless, he moves into the only shelter he can afford: a room in a battered multi-family complex. As if the less-than-livable conditions weren't bad enough, he has to put up with his new weird, rude and tactless neighbors - and one of them is Haruto, the superintendent. -- Everyone in the complex has seen Momo and Jin in a compromising situation at least once or twice. But what exactly is the relationship between these two men?" ✰ Neighbor x Neighbor ✰ Multiple Couples (2-3) ✰ Funny, Light-Hearted, Sweet, Fluffy ⤷ i believe this is the first "fluffy" BL i ever read after learning that "fluffy" was an often used adjective for BLs, lol. my note from back then says, "favorite fluffy yaoi of all time"! but i had only read a handful of BLs at all at that time so... i still remember liking it and thinking it was cute. i lovedd the antisocial bookworm

"Pickpocket Jimmy is captured by the middle-aged Reese at the scene of the crime. In revenge, Jimmy breaks into Reese’s home when he is out, but he finds out that Reese is an ex-cop who furthermore is suffering from PTSD. Curious about this adult man with his complicated past, the closer he gets to him, the more rapidly his feelings change to love…" ✰ Ex-Cop (Bookstore Worker) x Thief ⤷ this art is sensual dog. they both look like the tastiest of snacks for NO REASON! the emo delinquent with little black hoops *_* SOS. oh the story is also good too lol

"When Haruto, a lonely singer who never sings, suddenly becomes able to see ghosts, he meets Akira, a ghost with the skin of organdy. Apprehension turns to friendship, and friendship turns to…?" ✰ Ghost x Musician ⤷ WHY DID YOU JUST DO THAT TO ME !!!!!! this story sunk its little claws into me and would not let go i was hOOKED. read if you want to be invested in a story and FEEL. recommended for y'all stoic emotionless ass bitches (aka me)

"The freeter, Yui, found a stranger in a tattered state along the road. His name is Toshiki, a man with a strange appeal. Yui couldn't leave him alone, and so, he accompanied the stranger back to his house. Upon getting there, Toshiki revealed to be wilful, and Yui decided to go along with him. The next morning, however, he found that he has been trapped inside Toshiki's house." ✰ Ambiguous Couple, Complex Characters ⤷ i thought this was gonna be some cheap BDSM story but it was actually really nice and not at all what i expected. their relationship ending in ambiguity is slightly dissatisfying but i think it matches the tone of the story. Homeowner confines ML but when ML is allowed to leave, doesn't.
