lilithespark's manga / #BL(1763)

i tried to like this. I really did, but it’s hard when the leads are stupid and the fact that irrational decisions/misunderstandings are what move the plot. How am I supposed to like their melodrama of a love story when I don’t like either of them? why did the author have to make the MC such a pushover with his “unrequited” love crap? the ML is a jerk for more than half the span of the manhwa. The ML is supposedly 32, but he acts half his age. Plus, writing is so ass like why tf was the first rape scene just glossed over. In chapter 58, the ML rapes the MC after he was SAed (he didn’t know, but that doesn’t excuse it one bit). the art has to be the only redeeming quality of this manhwa. this genuinely sucks ass. i don’t understand the hype at all

I always feel conflicted when I read Human x Android stories. But I’ve just learned not to question it too much lol. Reminds me of that one dude who married Hatsune Miku. Anyway, relatively good so far. A bit fast paced. Lots of smut

This is like the plot of sm other BLs I’ve read, but I eat it up every time! It’s cliché, but cute. Classic miscommunication trope. The art is pretty good. Decent and pleasant read. Sometimes, there has to be stories like these. Especially with CONSENT and a healthy relationship. One thing this story did particularly was the leads’ transition from students to working adults. Pretty relatable but also adding that sense of realism 9

Simple but cute. Lots of sweat fetish lol. The ML is def a freak… The ending was surprisingly wholesome. The characters aren’t that developed, but I think this is just meant to be a light read, obviously centering around a sweat fetish.

Okay, this is actually super good! I adore the plain (?) and semi-realistic art style. I loveee the lighting and everything. Their dynamic feels so uncontrived and natural! No drawn out misunderstandings. For one, they communicate healthily and ASK each other what they’re wondering *sobs*. The world building is pretty interesting even thought the story itself is kind of short. The leads are refreshingly honest with each other, and I love how one can tell they care about each other in the best ways. The smut wasn’t overdone. I totally thought the blond guy would be the second ML because he’s so hot, but nope lol. He can be mine it’s okk. The side couple was toxic af and SPOILER: i’m glad pinky cut the jerk vampire off. i didn’t like how it hinted at smth romantic tho like bro is a pos.

Bro what was that ending… This is a really cute manga, but all the buildup felt a little wasted. I was waiting for a heart wrenching confession lol. Aside from that, this is just your typical story. You have the playboy MC’s (top) side story. The ML almost gets raped, and the MC saves him yada yada. This is just a really bland and boring read. The premise itself isn’t bad, but the execution isn’t anything special. 6

V2 C6 Very funny. I think this illustrates the omega x alpha relationship quite well. I like the “enemies” to lovers trope, but this is also pretty typical in that the leads succumb to their bodily instincts. Or is that actually the case? Interesting question to wonder about, but I liked how they realized they liked each other. I guess love doesn’t always need a reason. Also, why does the MC look so much like Denji….

ALRIGHT. this is def morally debatable. in the first chapters i kept going ehhh bc ho-il kept being compared to his older, dead brother. but it also improves, or is going to improve i think. it’s very interesting, and i think it capture the tragedy of the brother’s death quite well in that is show how both the mc and ml are affected by it. the storytelling is beautiful imo

22 I really like this! The setting is immediately what drew me in. In a world where there’s magic, I usually expect some sort of medieval backdrop, but this surprisingly is more modern. Maybe mid 1900s-ish I’m not quite sure. I love the desaturated yet warm art style, too. Mature lead characters are always my jam! Kind of reminds me of “Turning” a little.

Wow, this was a journey… But the ending was so rushed. They barely get together, and then there is a time skip?! I liked how this really detailed the gay experience and the kind of reality of it all. Finding out you’re gay later in life is very much a real thing like what happens with the ML (the one with a child). The manga definitely takes a unique route with how the mother of the ML’s child takes custody of the daughter (Lilia) again. The two day visitation per month thing is wild. This felt realistic, yet bittersweet. Nice fluff, though.
