Chew and Swallow
uke went through so much shit but I'm glad he's happy with his seme in the end and had closure with his abuser... though I hope that mf ended up in jail instead
Dark Heaven
oh god. this was definitely one of the heaviest story I have ever come across I can even put in the same level as Killing Stalking. Knew it was gonna be heavy and psychologically depressing, since that's what everyone who read it said before I did, but holy shit...the amount of courage this author has to address all those controversial issues in a manhwa. Since the first chapter, you'll know right away it's gonna be something really dark. I even told myself, "Ah, I have to read 80 chapters of this trauma?" I was even scared to read it first because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to take it. So let's talk about the issues discussed in this book. I think almost every fucked up issue on this planet about humanity has been demonstrated I'm so awed. Racism, rape, drug abuse, homophobia, exploitation, domestic and child abuse, police incompetence, abuse of power, murder, the hypocrisy of religion...like holy shit I bet Juns received hate for being this brave. She managed to put all of that in this story like wow. I'm so impressed. And that Veronica bitch. I agree with Simon btw ever since I saw her I knew she was fucked up. BUT SHE WAS BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS. She was worst wtfff she was mentally ill, though. When her eye twitched I went bananas it was fucking creepy, but like other fucked up people she also had a terrible child that made her become like that. She deserved treatment, but ngl I'm glad she died f that bitch she made my babies suffer so much T_T And Gale...aw man I think I need help. Like, I disliked him when he first appeared ofc because what a fucking piece of shit of a brother but I can't help but like him too. Like the detectives said, it was hard to know what's on his mind, because he's fucked up and all that...but I kinda do, I just dunno how to explain it. He claims to hate his brother, and I do believe that, but not as much as he claims. He only disliked Simon bcs Simon resembles their father in terms of facial features, and we all know that the father is fucking shit too, raping a child...geez I hate pedos so much I wanna skin them alive. Simon has been kind to him (until they grew up ofc because Simon was blinded by his desire for revenge for Conor). I also believe the father's dead and my best theory would be Gale murdering him, it was implied by the symbol of a knife stabbed on him in the family photo, but could be anywhere else too. Dead, I hope. And Mona uwu best lady!! This supportive woman deserves happiness as well, being there for Conor and Simon ever since. She's different from all those hypocrites. I'm glad she found herself a lady too uwu. And ofc our couple, Simon and Connor! Aw man they definitely went through so much. It hurt. They were only loving each other, but had to suffer so much just because of the society they're in. I'm glad the world we currently live in is more open to homosexuality now. I'm glad they are happy!! They definitely deserve it!! Though I wanted to see them together with their adopted child! T_T If I could rate this more than 5 stars I would. The amount of drama feels overwhelming but author has this style of making the ambience lighter (esp chibi art lol) and adds a touch of comedy sometimes but it doesn't ruin the dramatic mood. I love the art style ofc!! And how poetic this was..oh God the metaphors don't even get me started. This is prob the longest review I made xD I have more to say but I read this for 5 hours straight and my head's starting to ache but I LOVE IT!! It's a masterpiece, especially for a debut manhwa.
Room to Room
SO HOT PLS X2 HOTTER THAN ITS PREQUEL
A Fine Line
ehhhh the main couple's relationship was toxic af I can't really tell if they're going to be happy this time. it was shitty af but since I am kind of into the angst I liked it, and it wasn't as melodramatic as Unreachable lol the smex was good, too. I wanted to see more of the second couple nooooooo I am so interested in them but only 2, chapters of side stories??༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
A Painter Behind the Curtain
This is one of the best BL manhwa I've ever read. At first I was really eager, thinking it's going to be one of my favorites. But some events were underwhelming to me and I kinda disliked things didn't happen as I predicted them. But that's just me of course! FUCK THE BARDIS. My oh my old asshole was a manipulator and a rapist! He's one of the most annoying characters ever. The trauma he inflicted on Ian will never leave him even he's fucking dead but I'm just really pissed at him. Poor Ian was talented as fuck, painting for him everyday and every night but he repays him by abusing him. Fucker. I am not actually surprised that seme is originally straight. I predicted that there would be unrequited love, and if it was any other BL story I would've loved it but I found this annoying. Ian was selfish with his feelings and never intended to let go. I was kinda glad he was kidnapped too, and when Nicholas slapped him I felt satisfaction :)) I was livid at Raymond for betraying Henry like that! Though it was part of his plan, it was still really heartbreaking. I kind of thought he was going to die or smth, that this would end in tragedy. I understand his pain and grudge, and I am glad, too, that that cunt Rothsildt has been executed by Martha herself! About the royal family, I thought the princess would be pure, and somehow also thought she would die, but I am kinda glad they really didn't get married. It was low of her to spread rumors about Ian tho >:< but like she said, she did to became even with Raymond who was deceiving her. I agree with her. Nicholas and Kaya AAAAAAS my ship!! I'm so glad they ended up together T^T they even have a baby. Kaya is so pretty when she fully became a lady. Oh, AND THE ART IS ALSO TO MY LIKING!!! I was kinda drawn to the story because fo it owo. Some smut scenes were too much for me and I skipped them because they feel cramped into the chapter lol but that's just me. This is still a great manhwa.
