MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE...
It just simply will always be in first place.
Bexan and everyone are just great. The art is also a big inspiration to me. The story just flowed the whole time and it had a sense of being grounded in some reality but obviously dealt with fantasy. I just genuinely love it.

LOVE this one, always will...
I lived through it...
It's not a BL although it does have BL service to it. Koogi did such a good job making this stressful and horrifying and so elegantly paced as a psychological thriller. The flow of the story is insane because thinking back and going through everything a ton of stuff happened and it built up to the ending twist so well. It's a perfect horror that hasn't been touched yet.

As the years go by i fall just slightly out of love with the art but that's bc is a simpler style to the ones I generally read. But Beomchul and Jaehee really are the ideal and have been for years. I love re-reading their story. The first couple is fine, i just didn't get attached to their dynamic the way I did with the rivals one. The story has a sense of realism to the theme of communication and it's just really good.

The story still gives me butterflies, and i really like the rebellious MC with an essentially "pathetic" body. It's a slow burn and the tension between the two is good. The panel with the Blonde seeing his best friend/crush die in the hospital lives in my head. I also find this style of plot interesting to see beacuse it's the soulmates plot. It's just cute and will always get me. The plot with the brother is okay, wish it was more interesting overall.

The art and the slow burn relationships are to die for, at least for me.
I like that the author legit has this MC and ignores him for half the story to tell the side couple story first, which btws was SO FUCKING GOOD. The whole realization of love between people will never NOT get to me. The you have the MC's story and his is so fun to get through too! You have his bf AND his new BFF that you would think would create drama but no!
Its just amazing and i HAVE TO RE-READ.

Slow burn.
Yeah, a genuine Soft BL that i absolutely love. I liked the characters. I like the realization of falling in love for the first time cliche. I like the controlled environment and I liked the flow in chemistry between the characters and how it caused them more problems than an outside source. I liked everything, and the fact that Yuri also gets a story is so GOOD because i get to see the art of Park Nodeok again.
Yuri's story is so good too.

Perfect anthology series.
The short stories this one holds are top-noch. I have a thing for Park Ji-yeon's art, so im biased.
This made me realize i want to draw sensual shit like Ji-yeon does, and short stories of love like this too, in the future of course. I want ti illustrate and capture what she does in this story: Different forms of Love.
Every single story had so much tension and put love front and center as this undeniable force. It was so good and just had weight to

Reading this, but have re-read a lot of chapters.
A true inspiration for me, FOR YEARS
Since like middle school ive had Old Xian's art around me, and i find it insane that only in 2019-2020 did i seriously follow Old Xian like an Idol.
Xian capture this sense of friendship and love so purely and casually that i love so much and want to integrate into one of my stories eventually.
The art and Old Xians growth is perfect. It only gets better every year. Cannot wait for Art vol. 3

Have to re-read to critique correctly, but i loved the slowburn.
Its a chinese shounen ai, so you KNOW its FUCKING GOOD. I have a bias for Chinese shounen ai, bc of the same sex restrictions they have, which in turn makes things more romantic and illegal. lmao sorry.
