8th yaoi This looked like a really cute manhua with the cutest couple. It turned out to be exactly that. I loved the personalities of each character and the realism of the situations and reactions. It seemed the closest to real life. It was interesting since it's been a long time since I read a manhua and I never read this genre even though I was obsessed with chinese manhuas. I love the main couple so much and they just the cutest beings ever. I still felt that it lacked the more intense scenes and action. It became too focused on the side couples towards the end and It's boring for me since I only really like the main couple. At this point, the manhua is finished as all the action between the main couple is gone and there were chapters of their future so I guess it's over for me. I still enjoyed it but I won't read manhuas anymore because they way too long and draggy. P.S: I would clarify that it is one of the few manhuas that had actual love and not just lust disguised as love. I liked this aspect and after reading more, I realized how rare this was. Would read more manhuas.

14th yaoi. Second one with amnesia actually. I thought it was a pretty common concept but turned out to be pretty unused. I guess authors feel like it has been too over used in many other fictions like dramas so they tend to avoid it. Anyways, It was good, I guess. There were a lot cute moments even though it's so short. I liked the art style that's why I read it. It was worth the read. The characters were of course really superficial and there was no action whatsoever but it's a first for the author and it was just for a competition. Would recommend if looking for something short and fluffy.

15th yaoi. I wanted to read a long yaoi for so long since they have more consistency and actual development, not just lust disguised as love. There was no action whatsoever, just some suggestive scenes. I expected it would have that since I am still looking for a consistent story with good development and action at the same time but I still don't manage to get it right despite spending a lot of time deciding what to read. I'm a little disappointed in this aspect. I still loved it a lot. I loved the characters. They are so adorable. Lucia and Lucien could just destroy me. I liked a lot of side characters too which is unusual for me. The sister was the best (I actually want to read yuri because of her). I would say I loved most of the female characters even the ex (She is such an angel). I still felt quite worried at first since it reminded me of a drama I loathe from the bottom of my heart, which had a very similar gaming concept. I still feel like games aren't supposed to be taken that seriously and it can't be really considered as online dating. Would recommend if looking for fluff and cuteness for 100 chapters.

21th yaoi. So I have to say again that I hesitated because of the art style. I still gave it a shot and I don't regret it at all. The art style was really appealing and made all the characters look attractive and mature. Even though there was no smut, I still liked the story. The main character is my favorite. He is so cute and adorable and even though he made bad decisions, he still managed to get over his past and continue living on. He was such a bad boy that I couldn't believe he was an uke. I mean totally my type. The other two characters were not my cup of tea. Kyujin was boring and annoying. Jihyun was just abusive and obsessive, everyone seemed to love him so much since he is such a "bad boy" but no. He deserves to go to jail for what he did and he still has the audacity to always say that it's my boy Chiwoo's fault and that he did everything because he loves him. I was so happy when he got rejected and didn't feel like he got what he really deserved. I tried my best to understand and like him but no. Especially after reading the creator's note and realizing that he not only assaulted Chiwoo but he raped him. I am so mad. I was still waiting for like a redemption even though I knew that anything he would have done would not have been enough. Would recommend if looking for a story about the past haunting a character.
