Hedonistic SIMP x workaholic I love besotten men. HEAVY emphasis on political drama over romance. Still love it though. Can't wait for the next volume. Update: It’s good! Confusing at times, but good! Not sure about some sub-plots, and there’s a few things I’m iffy about, but overall, it’s really nice. --- Now finished. [ Workaholic and ambitious x Flirty and committed ] — Like a ‘lord’ and his ‘knight’ A little misses here and there, but I’m here for the societal plot. I’m here for the intricate costumes. And I am here for besotted men. I love their dynamic, how MC is trying to Keep Shit Together, but ML’s fooling around. At the same time, ML ain’t just a hoe; his devotion to MC gets him take working duties seriously, which I love. I love m

VERY SOLID. Love both the MC and ML, and even the supporting cast! It’s essentially the trope where someone switches places with an alternate version of themself and has to deal with their new surroundings. In the first world, the ML is besotted with him; in the second, he never really knew him. It’s all tied to this one key scene, and how the author utilized it was really well done. It felt like things were slightly rushed, and I emphasize highly on the “slightly”, but it was good. If there was a thing I didn’t like, it would be the choice guy for alternate!ML. We only met him for a relatively short time and didn’t get the feeling of much chemistry. Besides that, it was great.

Wants to die for the world x Cold boss who really cares What a pleasant surprise. Didn’t expect to take two days of my time to binge read, and yet here I am. It was great. The dynamics were great. I even got to enjoy a few of the characters, although I think their roles could’ve been distributed a bit more through the story. Some plot threads wrapped themselves around rather quick, but I like how they were reoccurring elements of the story, even if they only showed up once (Looking at you, CEO guy). I think the ending especially went especially quick, especially compared to the beginning, but it delivered on the impact. I do think it would’ve been interesting to see the antagonist one last time, at least before he died, but woo, happy ending! Leads had good chemistry, and all the romance ‘opponents’ were nice. Kudos on the plot; it kept my interest. I liked how everything connected together. I resonated a lot with the main protagonist—he’s a good dude, and I wish him the best.

Gorgeous art. Got really fucking confused, though. Wasn’t bad.

While they work together, they also end up in a situation wherein they eat together everytime they meet. The older guy's a chef; the younger dude likes his cooking. Within each chapter is a recipe one can try for themselves, as they watch the two get closer to one other.

I remember this one for its artstyle and I believe the weird plot development at the end? Two dudes end up in a video game, they complete the game, and then the ending...which I cannot remember for the life of me.
