The Tyrant's Annals
39 ATS Quite the tragic story… I also don’t quite guy the people upset about the MC not being with the blond dude? It was pretty obvious that Myeon was the ML from the start. Blonde guy is a rapist, murderer, and over all, just a bad person. The time travel makes this a lot more interesting since it adds mystery. I like seeing their devotion to another even in trying times. The characters all have certain sides to them. Interesting dive into corruption. Romantic if not for the fact several people desire their heads.
My Home Hero
My X Best Friend
In all honesty, this felt cut short. It’s cute if you look at it from far enough, but I truly think this was meant to be a longer story, especially if we consider Hyukjae. I liked the childhood friends to lovers trope, but so many of my questions were left unanswered. Hyukjae is a green flag until you realize you’ve been colorblind the whole time. He was obsessive and manipulative, but that made him quite interesting. Suwoo was just your average easily trusting, dense guy. I really wonder what could’ve happened next. But anyway, I really liked the unique art style! It was so prettyyy. 7/10 Update: The extras didn’t do much to add to the ML’s character, but it did add insight to their life after. It wasn’t as heavy as I expected. 7.5/10
The best luck of my life
Wow this is actually way better than I expected? Sure, it’s sexy, but there’s also some backstory. I really like the comedy and art. i’m also in LOVE with their dynamic. it lowkey reminds me of a certain ship, but i’m not sure which one. anyway, the ML is a pathetic master manipulator, but i dig it for some reason. he’s def not an innocent baby or whatever. i like how the MC (the bottom) is masculine and vice versa for the ML. it’s cool how he’s so open minded (at the beginning of their relationship) and isn’t afraid to say what he likes and doesn’t like. Relatively refreshing! but it is pretty cliché (e.g. the stupid love angle w/ the MC’s childhood friend).
Someone Like You
This is really good. I especially like the imagery. I’d say this is “dark” in terms of emotion/mental disorder. The story just has tons of layers that are so interesting to peel back. Like the washed out art, for example, matches the overall tone of the story, which is relatively solemn yet almost shocking. The characters are dynamic, and I like seeing how their internal conflicts manifest externally. Very angsty and a little slow burn. There are these little moments that the MC experience, and it’s very telling of his character. By far, I’d say he is the most intriguing thing about this piece while the ML is a bit creepy/manipulative. Love the storytelling. Great art.
Act-age
Okay, so I binge read this after rereading “Movies are real,” and they are nothing alike?? Like the MC in “Movies are real” doesn’t actually act. He IS the character. Here, the MC uses method acting to create a scarily realistic representation of her role. I heard this was dropped, but this is a top tier acting manga. She almost loses herself in her acting, which makes reading very exhilarating. Plus, the side characters were interesting like that Araya guy. Every aspect is elevated by the art, so kudos to the artist (they played a key part in the reader’s enjoyment). Such a captivating storyline…. Truly a shame this was cancelled. I wish hell on the writer and heaven on the artist!
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.
