yaoi hall of fame

complete • it's main draw is that it's smut and it's all the tropes under the sun you can think about throwing into a BL. somehow, it only just got better by the time S2 rolled around the author started developing the characters' relationship more. the progression was good. i cried at S2's finale, i was bawling throughout the ending chapters. really cemented the fact that white eared is such a good author and artist. the paneling & pacing was really good.

complete • s tier stuff for me. the writing is absolutely unclockable in my eyes. you get love triangles every day but not ones where the ending makes 100% sense and somehow everyone (me) is super satisfied.

side stories ongoing • absolute banger. the main couple kinda fell off for me in terms of my interest for how their relationship went (there’s nothing wrong with it per se and i’m happy w the ending) i just think the author didn’t expect how much depth there would be to ship two (side characters) and how good their plot turned out. well written with great art

complete • masterpiece. i was not ok when this ended and i’m still in recovery. i cry looking over just the start of this manhwa knowing how it goes in the end. it’s all about the yearning meme.jpg. beautifully drawn and great writing overall

ongoing • honestly, this gives me so much indigestion whenever it updates because of how short each chapter is but 70 chapters in, it's also safe to say that i'm a jaehyuk apologist and think his redemption arc is going well lol. i don't feel much for when these things get resolved too early. i like toxic, cold tops that need to be knocked down a peg but the realization that actually they should've treated MC better is gradual. it's toeing a line but i like the bala

complete • i was sooo wary about this and had to restart it multiple times because mc just kept giving me secondhand embarrassment alksdjfl but it turned out really good. the side stories were also very chefs kiss. on the note of mc giving me secondhand embarrassment a lot, the character development turned out well lmfao so i'm glad i soldiered on and read until the ending. really good plot weaved into all the smut as well!

ongoing • i think there's going to be another volume (??) the plot and pacing of this was really good and the art is very pretty! i enjoy their personalities immensely. and who doesn't love a ~ they have to play gay characters ~ trope.

complete • will not alter your brain chemicals by any means and is quite the easy read, so it's a good thing to wind down with and not think too hard about what's going on. there's Some Plot, corporate drama which is always fun. smut lasts 2-3 chapters each time LOL. the art is saur good

complete • pre-facing this by saying that i was rooting for joowon the whole time lmfao. was very pretty and i think the pacing was alright! nothing remarkable plotwise but we love a good pseudo-incest piece ♡

complete • minhyuk you will always be hot!!! i'm not into buff bottoms (it's just a personal preference) but i was running out of things to read and this had just wrapped up so i gave it a go. no regrets. i think the plot and pacing were okay. i don't think we got enough of MC's personality... or maybe he's just written that way, but it felt kind of lacking even at the end. still including it because i thought it was worth the read from start to finish at least once
