7/10 — this was really cute!! don’t expect much plot, it’s just two guys bickering 24/7 and eventually realizing they’re in love. i live for this relationship dynamic
6/10 — simple and sweet! a knight x the dragon he’s meant to slay. a bit too emotionally ambitious, which made the climax fall flat.
9/10 — the dialogue & character interactions in this manhwa are STELLAR. both characters are so intelligent and deeply fleshed out; it’s a constant manipulation game of cat-and-mouse. docked 1 point for the lack of balance in their dynamic that makes their relationship feel less sustainable, but in terms of writing it remains a 10/10 in my eyes.
8/10 — it’s been a long time since i’ve read this, but i do remember thoroughly enjoying it!! both MC and ML are interesting characters with a compelling relationship & fluctuating power dynamic.
edit: recently reread this, and my previous sentiment stands. the MC has very relatable flaws.
7/10 — so cute!! i love the side characters as well, they were delightful to have around and never took away from the main two. it’s always refreshing to see BL characters being enthusiastic about communication, even if it is difficult
10/10 — one of those rare treasures of a story that sticks with you vividly for a long time. everything about it, from story to characters to imagery, was absolutely stunning. the strength of their love rivals those unbelievable romantic fantasies i scoff at, but somehow it’s intimately real. it’s been a long time since i’ve fallen so deeply in love with a story.
9/10 — oh, this was CUTE! the ending was rushed, but the comedic beats & dialogue throughout the manhwa were delightful. the angst is gentle and subtle enough for me to recommend this manhwa freely.
6/10 — a fun, light read. the relationship between the two mc’s was really enjoyable! an easily flustered bottom never gets old.
7/10 — this would honestly be at least an 8 if i set my personal biases aside. it’s hard to distinguish good prose in manhwa when the translation to english isn’t always reliable, but i can tell the author put care into the writing. a simple story about first love, both requited and not; you really can’t go wrong with that.
7/10 — AHAHA I LOVE THIS they’re so silly..!!! there’s nothing i love more than two idiots in love. short and fun read, not meant to be taken seriously.
