A Guy Like You

Complete | Waje | 2016 released

This started off really strong with a lot of potential, but in the end I really didn’t feel anything at all. The villain got off WAY too easily and the main characters were really annoying all the way up until the very end. The plot and supernatural element is this BLs strongest point. I’m super invested with the Fate and Envy stones, and I loved their inclusion. I wish we had a few more BLs with this kind of magical/superpower elements within them that are also used in fights. I wish the author would’ve leaned into this element instead of that awful rape plot. Ugh, this story had too much sexual assault for my taste, and it isn’t even handled decently. The main character is even THREATENED to be raped by his love interest and that whole thing is brushed away. That’s really the main thing keeping me from loving the BL, because the main love interest was just toxic and the main character is just dumb.

I really love this manhwa! It’s got everything I look for in a BL: intriguing characters, a good plot, and some supernatural abilities! I can’t wait to see more of this manhwa!
