Wolf In The House

Complete | park ji-yeon | 2000 released

the supernatural aspect of it develops well and the author balanced heavy themes with comedic drawing styles or casual scenes. you'll be able to witness three couples with different yet harmonic relationships that tie them together. the main couple has a casual romantic relationship, the second uncovers mafia related action, while the third dwells on the separation of human and werewolf. it is a satisfying read because there arent loose ends and the plot does not stray away even if there are 3 stories weaved together. it's also a plus that the author could draw sensual sex scenes, really feeling how they're e treating each other tenderly and lovingly.

Cover Up

Complete | gyaga | 2019 released

The lack of life for the confined person is realistic, im glad that it doesnt romantasize being confined and shows how mentally taxing it is. tattoos are given value and roots the character's personalities. even so, im still curious what Seung jae's original tattoo looks like. im also glad that minwook's pov is explained in the end while giving him a redemption arc to give up before the other person really kills himself.

Blood Bank

Complete | silb | 2015 released

The overall concept is amazing! Although, the execution is somewhat disorganize and chaotic, the message surfaces. The art is pleasing and fitting to the concept of apocalypse and supernatural. The conclusion is also promising because it opens a new story instead of capping it off. I'm a little disappointed that Eric's identity stopped at acceptance but i guess everyone's identity in the story showed enough to keep the theme vampire x human going. I was expecting his identity to be more flambouyant, but the author did great at keeping it more of a subtle and invisible trait that is helping the world adjust to a new system of equity. bottomline: this is more of a societal documentary that included key people's love story.

the flow of dialogue is confusing and even the plot is all the place. the author made an ambitious attempt to blend sherlock holmes with a distinct storyline that does not match. it may look like it's well blended because their lives intertwine but it doesnt because the story of xiaowei, xaiofeng, xiao, and mi sheng could stand on its own.

Fushidara na Hanatsumi Otoko

Complete | Suzushiro | 2015 released

I was troubled by Kotaro's actions when Ayumi had to leave and Kotaro had to take care of Kyoujo. i mean, he is very much in love with ayumi so he didnt have to overthink about Kyoujo. sure, he can be troubled about doing something behind ayumi's back but the moment he cared too much about Kyoujo made his character dubious. im just glad that he became absolute about his response when e he refused Kyoujo. Also, Akari was a pain in the ass but him being underhanded makes sense. also, the chief is pitiful here because he got roped in but didnt even get to have a partner in the story HAHAHA ps. i sense a good story for Kyoujo and Akari. i just wonder if Akari can remain "pure and innocent" even after knowing a man cause Akari has been a bitch before meeting Kyoujo.

I like the variety of characters in the story. Even having Nishima here as a supposed love triangle was fun because we are given a sadder version of being gay. We know that it is tolerated but never truly accepted. That theme of homosexual struggle is real and confronted in this story which is nice and really heartwarming.

A Thousand Cranes

Complete | Jung Seokchan | 2000 released

Should I start folding a thousand crane, too? I live for this content! Craig is not paranoid and it's true that he has his own guilt and regret eats him but he knows to think. My heart is also bleeding for Dean and I'm glad that he was able to keep holding on to Craig even when his nightmares could make him violent. Actually, it won't even surprise me he becomes violent against Craig because of his anxiety and nightmares. But no, he holds him more gently afterwards, wanting Craig to feel at ease. because this is true love, wanting to be a better person for someone you love

At the End of the Road

Complete | Haribo | 2016 released

1. The pacing for the plot is nice, each of the panels matter to the story. 2.I'm sad that Siwon was treated as anotber body and tool for the plot to keep rolling.He was raped goddammit. 3. I feel sad that I didnt get to see more of Taemin's actual body 4. I'm conflicted with Minjoo (?) because on one hand he was true to his words but on the other he made Taemin go around circles. Still, if he didn't, Taemin would have kept running away so I'm glad that the author really made a strong foundation for Taemin's character. Actually, most of the characters have solid personalities and each of their actions and words match "who" they are. It's only Siwon that I feel bad about because he was really made into a tool. I couldn't even get a good grasp of who he is except that he cares about his relationship with his twin. Besides, for a smart person and "likeable" person like Siwon and with the CDs going around, wouldn't he have earned more pity than have people bully him (ok fine, being bullied is not improbable) and if they were so rich, the parents wouldve known about the CD and know that he was raped. Siwon was written as a loser and was treated as such that it somehow contradicted the likeable and "stole everything from me" twin.

Kashikomarimashita, Destiny

Complete | Sachimo | 2015 released

THIS. I am telling you, this is the GOD-TIER of Omegaverse. The balanced level of cowardice and courage when loving someone is so good that it makes Omegaverse dynamic and less constricting. It breaks stereotypes of impregnating omegas and making betas useless. Ichigo and Yuuto are the couple I'd like to emphasize on. Even when Ichigo keeps pushing away even if he loves Yuuto, there is that exhilarating burst of pride in me when he ran to save Yuuto from being trapped. Gah, their love story is amazing and the way these butlers and their masters created a family is what I live for. ️ I doubt I'll ever read another Omegaverse story that would beat this.

Back to School

Complete | Oryu | 2019 released

tbh, i didnt like how passive chiwoo was until i understood why he seemed incapable of taking action. although i admit, i expected too much from him. poor boy, he suffered from Jihyun's twisted expression of love. thus, im so happy whenever Kyujin appears and saves Chiwoo from breaking down under Jihyun's pressure. also, I'm glad that it ended this way. no, i dont want to ship chiwoo with jihyun because the latter is filled with hatred and violence. he isnt fit for any romantic relationship at all. but a "what if" situation could work for me because if Chiwoo confronted Jihyun's feelings then it could habe changed their future even just a little. Im happy for Chiwoo and Kyujin. Just like Chiwoo, i also hope that thoigh therenare acts that are unforgivable, Jihyun could redeem himself and grow to be a better person than his father. im just glad Jihyun still has a big brother looking out for him.
