Cosmetic Playlover
Concept’s pretty interesting. Two beauty assistants. But the conflict was pretty mid. It all could’ve been avoided if some random hadn’t been petty and envious over the MC’s capabilities. The author tried to go for a teasing (?) ML, but they really just made him manipulative imo. Especially at the start because he quite literally raped the MC…. Great art. Smut’s good. Mid story. Not worth the read.
Beware of the Full Moon In March
Pretty good actually! First impressions were not great, but the seme actually got character development to my surprise. What kept me reading despite that plot point was the fact that the story is just really interesting. The uke is literally an ex-convict! There’s this sense of underlying mystery, and I, for one am hooked. I like the characters (except for the seme). There also exists a thrill in the action that takes place. What exactly goes on behind the scenes…. But anyway, I enjoyed this, and I quite like the writing.
Ai da, Koi dano Shouhosen
5 sighs this is just a bunch of fated pair mumbo jumbo. i really couldn’t care less about this couple. what is the author trying to accomplish here? they’re just playing into the typical omegaverse setting where an alpha and omega pair lose their rationality for each other. can’t say I’m a fan ‘cause this brings nothing new to the table
Ore wo Shiranai Kyou no Kimi
5 ATS NOT completed. very interesting time loopy stuff. also kinda disturbing
Kyuuso Inu wo Kame
3 ATS *sigh* Why’d he have to rape him though? The ML? I can see the plot coming from a mile away. Predictable. The author just doesn’t know how to write rape. It’s used as this sexy plot device instead of the trauma-inducing act it actually is. But at least it has delinquents?
Codename Anastasia
Interesting… Don’t see much spy stuff executed well, so I’m excited for this (?). ML is mysterious yet provocative… Huge red flag anyhow, and the MC is also interesting. I like the momma’s boy aspect to his character.
Have You Ever Witnessed Violence On Campus?
Just a bunch of rape ngl w/ 3p. If you’re into that. But the ENDING. It’s kind of a testament to reality… you’ll lie and not tell anyone (especially your school) what you’ve been through- what you’ve suffered. Interesting to think about, but that’s not to say this is a “good” story by any means.
The Rib of Adam (Jinmi)
What did I just read… This was only four chapters, but god, it felt like a journey. The author depicted body horror relatively…. well? I’m kind of loss on how the biology works for his side lady holes. Anyway, I’m getting the feeling there’s some big philosophical takeaway from this. Maybe what happened to the MC was retribution? Did he truly deserve that? We’ll never know. All I can say is, yes, this was a “good shock manhwa.” Strange read.
Let's Go Cheer Boy!
Honestly, this is trash. Dan does have some surprising depth for his character. He was sexually abused and raped as a child, and the author showed how that affected him in his teens. That’s the only semi-decent thing about this manga. While reading this, I felt like the author didn’t know what direction they wanted to take this manga. Dark and psychological? Fluffy and comedic? All of those elements are present, and they clash with one other very jarringly. Poor pacing. Badly written. Overall, the execution was terrible. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
