Immediate Disadvantage

Ongoing | Soorak | 2022 released

This comic is good if you ignore literally EVERYTHING that is written. Good jerk-off material, the utmost trash for story. Anyone other than the uke is a huge pile of steaming shit.

Stranger

Ongoing | Seonmyeong , Chub | 2000 released

It's been 18 chapters now and I finally realize why I cannot stand the MC: Among his many writing flaws such as randomness in chucking in mental problems or issues without any clear reason (the strangling bullshit) he also is literally like a fucking cat. That explains perfectly why he's so obnoxious at many times. It's certainly not the main issue i have with his character, but it sure plays a role. XD But anyway, REVIEW TIME: I honestly do not like this comic. I HEAVILY dislike the randomness of throwing in stuff and never addressing the root of it (because that strangling bs DOES warrant a strong reasoning besides 'born on streets' and 'shitty upbringing by criminal') and then kinda just ignoring it was a thing. Just like he ignored the children that will likely also be pushed into crime and prostitution despite him having a LITERAL instant-solving tool right next to him now; the prosecutor. (And the comic explained it away by saying; "I don't care, me feeling uncomfy in my new home is more important than worrying about saving children that are starved, abused and made to do things such as crimes." Just....wtf?) It also doesn't sit well with me that the prosecutor blamed himself for offending the MC when it was very clearly a YOU-problem for the MC. Getting offended by that situation to THAT degree was definitely a you-problem. Gives Karen-vibes tbh. I know what the story was going for, but the comic doesn't really do a good job with it all. I have no idea if the novel is better but I dare say it likely is. Maybe even more detailed since, as we all know, these comics LOVE to ignore important details in writing which make a story work or simply ruin it all. This comic also seems to really chuck in trauma-based behavior just to have it there rather than it being realistically portrayed as good as possible. That reflects in his very sudden and random possessiveness/entitlement to a dregree but more so in the strangling bs, that literally made zero sense except being a literal psychopath. Which the MC is not, so yeah. :/ As I really do not care for the MC and the prosecutor isn't really interesting either (he comes across as very empty and shallow, kinda like a McGuyver episode tool that does something as needed in that very moment), I have no desire to read more. Not even to see how they get together tbh. It's just not interesting to me in any way, it even has more minus points in my books than anything. Which is sad, since the core story is incredibly interesting, just the execution is really not done well. :/ This is likely a case by case thing, so read it for yourselves to see if this all is something you too would be bothered by. I do believe those that like annoying cat people/obnoxious-type tsundere/literal asshole-type cat behavior (not interaction triggered one!) will like this more than other people, based on how he behaves (he really is a literal cat, randomly getting pissed on his own accord - this is NOT cute in animals or humans, btw). It's not my thing, but many people can surely like it. Again; this really depends on taste.

Turning a Crazy Dog Into a Young Master

Ongoing | Zusiha,Yepbee | 2024 released

https://www.mangago.me/home/mangatopic/16082528/ I need someone to spoiler me before I keep reading this, because the base introduction of the plot is literally: Praying the trauma away. And that sure as shit is not gonna sit well with me on many levels if that is literally ALL that is happening to 'get rid of the trauma'. Please someone (who read the novel or has checked the original source, not just flip pages through unreadable korean arcane symbols) tell me that there will be ACTUAL work put into the trauma tackling aspect or that it isn't trauma at all and just some cliche cursed behavior shennanigans. PLEASE. ( ̄∇ ̄")

Overclock

Ongoing | Won churi | 2022 released

I don't think the translation is to blame here but: This story feels rushed, lackluster, uses inappropriate times for comedy/chibi moments in a VERY unfitting way, the art is meh and the overall storyline is giving vibes of 'author had 5 minutes to come up with this'. I have read 8 chapters and no character is interesting, their emotions are shallow and badly portrayed, the story drags yet rushes at the same time and all in all there is just nothing that seems interesting. The random, almost magic-like sci-fi car bs really wasn't well thought out either. The author could have at least MENTIONED that this world is hard-progressed in terms of that stuff instead of it just being ONE single random thing plopping up. There is too much negative points to this comic that the only positive aspect that remains is likely: This is probably decent jerk-off material for some chapters. But I will NOT be bothered to read further to see if that holds true. The art is not interesting enough for me to care to see smut of it. Not recommended. This is likely only a story for people who care ZERO about good writing in every aspect. I really cannot explain it otherwise.

Saturday's Master

Ongoing | D.od | 2022 released

First of all: Happy reading for those who do not care for a better base plot than "i randomly wanna help you all of a sudden, but you gotta let me fuck you". I honestly cannot stand this kinda weird, random porn logic in plots. XD I TRIED reading this but honestly this just isn't appealing in any way. Even the art is just on an okay level for my standards. But all in all it's the story itself that I have an issue with, not the art. The story tries to go for seriousness with a workplace shennanigans plot, then throws in the most ridiculous porn plot to justify getting the characters into a relationship (literally at random btw), neither character is appealing or interesting and there is literally nothing within the introduction chapters that actually makes me want to keep reading. For me this failed on every front except the grammar or fluent storytelling (little that there is). Which is not enough to keep me here. Tiven the plot is literally just a basic porn plot with wannabe seriousness thrown in to bait you, I really see zero appeal for me here. It could be a nice page flipper for horny moments if people are looking for that, but this is very empty and dry in every way for me. Sadly. This likely depends on personal taste and standards for writing/story setups, so I suppose the usual applies; give it a shot, but I warned you.

Unfinished Business

And ANOTHER one for the shitty omegaverse list. Can these authors stop being degenerates please?

The Golden Wife-in-Law

Ongoing | Juki , Boss | 2024 released

Okay, yeah, but no. The baseplot of marrying a noble to an un-alived lady was VERY nice, but this quickly got ruined by literally everything else such as: The male lead has literally zero pleasant qualities about him. The female lead is just not pleasant either and the way too long dragging of the family circumstances from both of them were not well done either since the certain level of hook-factor was just missing in every way. The art cannot carry this either, it's mid at best. So I really see no reason to read more of this. I do not care for the politics, not for the ML or the FL or even just the art. Even the names are forgettable, boring and overused. How many Calix'es have we had in these stories so far? Can people PLEASE be more creative with names. Hell, even calling him Steve would be more original at this point. WTF. XD This might be nicer for younger, preferably constant-horny readers with less of a focus on good storytelling, high tier art and interesting characters tho. So the smut can probably carry it for some unexperienced readers. For advanced readers; there's nothing of worth here except the new idea of marrying an unwanted noble to a non-alive person. THAT was the only interesting aspect here. And I hope this plotbase gets used by a better author and gets turned into a comic with (hopefully good art) and effort put into character personalities and likability. Among many other things. It's not a good story in any way except the bare base, so I would not ever recommend this. Maybe the smut is good to get your rocks off, but I will NOT bother waiting for those chapters to show up. This is a chore to read.
