How to Get My Husband on My Side

Ongoing | nyangiwa hyangshinlo , kitty and spices,siru | 2019 released

the drama in this story gives me high blood pressure, but it’s addicting. the mc’s trauma, eating disorder, and domestic abuse is well depicted and handled. The art is gorgeous, but the plot is so fracking slow… Still, I want more!! like girl spends 102 chapters in this facade which is understandable given her trauma but frustrating as a reader. i love the romance! i love how it’s expressed in not just grand gestures but even the more mundane actions like washing each other’s hair…. this is a super good story with a complex plot! the characters are fairly dynamic, and it allows one to really feel their emotions.

The Beast Tamed by the Villainess

Ongoing | Seol-yeong (설영/雪影) | 2019 released

It’s interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve read a couple with as twisted and dark of a relationship as this one. Are they toxic? Are they healthy? Does the ML (Magnus) love the MC (Ilyna)? Does he want revenge? I love the complex plot full of dichotomies. I like how all sides of their relationships are displayed. The MC and ML are multifaceted with no clear “villain.” The angst and the toxicity is so addicting…

Kaichou, Ii Ko wa Mou Owari

Ongoing | Kurihara kana | 2022 released

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

I'm Not Your Hero or Anything

Complete | UI Kashi | 2000 released

this was weirdly intriguing. the pacing was a little off, but i liked the vibes of this. the story had this strange, mature feeling to it. idk why but it reminded me of chainsaw man lol. especially the denji-looking ahh protagonist… anyway, the art was gorgeous, but the characters ultimately fell flat. what was the point of the cam girl storyline? this needed more development, which is a same because there definitely was potential

You Dirty, Sweaty Boy

Ongoing | Mumumu momo | 2019 released

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.

Turning a Crazy Dog Into a Young Master

Ongoing | Zusiha,Yepbee | 2024 released

This is really good. A major part of that is the ART. It’s so fricking scrumptious. They make Ceres look so handsome im done. Anyway, I like how the MC is a priestess, who didn’t transmigrate, reincarnate, or do anything like that. I like her complex character! She’s mature but also has her vulnerable moments.The ML’s past is interesting as well. I like their casual and close dynamic with each other and how the ML is so clingy hehe

Unmei no Tsugai ga Omae da Nante

Complete | Haruta | 2000 released

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

I Think I Have Transmigrated Somewhere

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I like how this isn’t just romance! There’s a fair bit of fantasy too with the world ending, the MC and the ML having powers, and the MC’s sister being a regressor and whatnot. The romance is nothing special as are there character designs visually, but I love how the leads care for each other. Their dynamic is cute but a little frustrating, though. I like how they quarrel and are honest with each other. The side couple is kinda cute, too… but only kinda 47

I Was Mistaken As a Monstrous Genius

Ongoing | | 2022 released

27 Honestly, as a novel reader, this manhwa adaptation feels redundant. The art is mid, and I just have to say I’m quite disappointed. This is like a basic outline of what the story actually is. All the details about the MC’s acting get lost in this adaptation. The novel does a much better job at describing the visceral emotions and character he expresses through acting. It just feels so lacking and bland. To top it all off, they did him so dirty like why is he uglyyyy BUT hey this is still an alright manhwa. just pales in comparison to the novel
