its p good... art style reminds me a little of the mr. 100% perfect hoben author... ;__; hilarious that this is an adaptation of an english smutty romance novel series though, although now the accurate nyc references make more sense aha. ALSO. this is left to right, which i somehow didnt notice until ch11. v smart of me ik
also this is the same artist who did bongchun bride, which i might add here later too!
....cried. cried again. for the third story, when it all hits u... its very good. i know the rape scenes are awful but i found that story arc fun... or, interesting, at least. watching that guy be so repressed and awful and peak Absolute Nightmare. tbd if it holds up to rereads but at the very least the writing is very good. or, very thoughtful. anyway immortality and love and being saved through love... the only tropes ever. ;__;
the warning: multiple rape scenes in second story.
slightly preemptive but im calling it--playtime with hakdo (same author) was really good, just missing some 'spark' for me--i think something in the pacing? tbh, same here, but its just chock full of my favorite tropes. gotta finally give it to the author AM here. :)
wait.. lmao... i re-read this.. eui-hyun's emotional arc is my favorite. scream. the story is also just generally quite good, and emotional beats really land for me.
actually really good. obviously, woo heejae would be deeply #problematic in real life but. the mangaka is really great at the push and pull of the trio. the shifting power dynamics are so good :'')
its soooo good. literally such a "light, sexy, fun, and loving story" just like the mangaka said in her epilogue. :)
ok yea its really good. lots of drama.
warning, though: it's a downer.
so messy so incredible i love it. yea. yea. its everything: the pathetic and whiny subin and the repressed hyeonwoo and the older and soft-hearted jun. help. perfect archetypes.
literally all-time great romance
ok so its basically in the same genre as 'hate mate' or 'how do we relationship' but with slightly less oomph-factor.... but still really good AND i love this genre so i'll add it here for now :)))
OH LMAO this is actually 'sweet as hell' but if the main couple were generally vanilla. also this has good exploration of living from paycheck to paycheck, and homophobia related to that.
