Y’ll should read this novel and the author’s other novels. All of them are really good...

OMG ILYYY i thought gyeja was the only author and she only had this story, BUT THERE'S ANOTHER AUTHOR TOO AND THEY'VE MORE STORIES!??? OH IM SO READING THEM

Yessss please Bad Hard Boys (in same universe) my absolutely favorite novel (▰˘◡˘▰)

same universe as in ilhyun and jakyung make an appearance? also tysmm for recommending!! I'll check it out!! let me know if you've read more like Things that deserve to die, with power couple, badass bottom and possesive obsessive simp top

I’m SO sorry it’s not Bad Hard Boys. It’s a different novel!!!!
Bad Guy on Top Of A Bad Guy is the novel. It same universe but only the MC from Things That Deserve to Die appears. The appearance is very brief and happens at the end lol.
Bad Guy on Top of Bad Guy, I highly recommend reading this!!
Here's my review, I wrote in novel updates:
[ As for the novel itself, tbh, I’m not a fan of greedy, manwhorish MCs. BUT when I actually read it, I fell in love with the MC (Baek Su-hyun). He loves money (he was a thief and would “betray” anyone for money — not really though) and he’s damn cute and chaotic.
This novel is reaaally good. The plot isn’t too heavy, there’s no non-con, and it never makes you hate either the ML (Yang Ho-beom) or the MC. Every character is beautifully written.
The ML’s love for the MC is so deep, he’d do anything for him. He’d hand over money, diamonds, or even that Buddha statue (though deep down, he worried the MC might run away if he gave it, lol).
Novel: 11/10
Also, Things That Deserve to Die and this novel exist in the same universe. The MC has subtle interactions with TTDTD’s MC. When Su-hyun was shopping for a floral shirt for Ho-beom, I had a gut feeling we might see TTDTD’s MC—and I was right, yaaay! ]

↑ Novel Updates review.

And about Bad Hard Boys, I don’t know if you’ve read the manhwa Sweet Shot or not but they’re set in the same universe. This novel is good too! Friends to lovers, but not your typical friends to lovers story hehe. I’ve also written a review for this one on Novel Updates as well!

I’ve read soooooo many BL novels… here are some I’m recommending:
The Word of Contrasts (Omegaverse, not a pathetic little omega. MC is a gangster and ML is a yandere psychopath. I’m currently reading this.)
Steal Your Name Object
House of the Fog (Finished a few days ago. It’s a very sweet Omegaverse. I’ve also written a review for this on Novel Updates.)
My Bloody Valentine (If you like daaaaaark, this one’s my fav)

There are more than 100 novels I’ve finished and about 50 are still ongoing (〜￣△￣)〜

Ohhh i seee and LMFAOO OFC JAKYUNG WOULD BE THERE to buy a Hawaiian shirt and oh my god i love your review and the story is right up my alley, I LOVE IT SMMM when mls are whipped and ready to do anything for their mc!!!
I haven't read the manhwa sweet shot unfortunately, but now that you say that bhb is not your typical friends to lovers, that makes me veryyy intrigued to read it (｡・//ε//・｡)

oh my god, ilysmmm for recommending all these, the world of contrasts seems soo good omg I might just start this one. And wow more than 100 novels!!? that's soo commendable, I've only ever read TTDTD till the end lmaoo. Is it okay with you if I were to give you the review of the novels you recommended me once I'm done with it? i lovee discussing aspects i liked and my thoughts on it. also, I'm gonna follow you cuz I've ALWAYS wanted to be friends with a novel reader cuz I'm just so damn lost on what I'm supposed to read and what's worth reading and what's not, I'm soo grateful for you to recommend me all this!!

Yeah you can say I’m a hardcore BL novel reader. I’ve read Korean BLs, Chinese danmei and MM novels and I even have physical copies too (MDZS: I have the manhua, novel and the limited edition novel and TGCF and more and a few MM novels like God of Fury). I don’t know if you’ve read any of these or not lol.
So there was this one time I saw a novel on Ridibooks (a Korean BL novel site). I started reading it because the cover and description were nice. But on Ridibooks, you have to pay to purchase chapters but the novel had one free chapter per day. I read it every day, one free chapter daily. It took me four months to finish it… (I’m broke T-T)
And honestly I still read on Ridibooks if I find a good novel there.


Omg yes yes no problem! I’ve never found someone to share novel reviews so I started writing reviews on novel updates (its been a year) annnnnd t’s nice to meet you and let me know your thoughts/reviews!
Following you too ♡

ive sm to learn from you lolol, I've only read 1 danmei called "This damned thirst for survival" i don't think I completed it even help what are MM novels btw? also IM SO JEALOUS OMGG I want TGCF's physical copies too i have only read TGCF's manhwa but well that got discontinued so there's that.
Also wow that's some dedication omg reading everyday for so long. Are the novels on ridibooks translated in english?
girll you've me now, send me your novel updates acc link, i wanna read the reviews you've left!! im a slow reader so you'll have to wait quite a while but yess I'll def text you the reviews once im done!!

Don’t learn from me I read bl novels mainly for emotional stimulation and escapism. Reading has been my passion since childhood so it just stuck with me.
MM is basically bl, men × men. I might be wrong but I think mm is mostly written by western authors?
Yeah sadly TGCF is discontinued. And tbh (sadly) tgcf isn’t in my top list. If you’re interested, you should read other works by the same author, MDZS is my alltime fav. If you like dark danmei definitely try BAB (I even have physical copies) 2HA and Thousand Autumns which is another fav of mine. I don’t know if you’ve read it Little Mushroom is also great, it’s danmei and manhua here (last year I ordered novel but the b*tch Amazon gave me pirated copies)
Ridibooks is a website and an app but the website is mainly used. And nope, all korean bl novels there are in korean so you have to rely on google translate.
Or you can take ss and ask si to translate them (I’ve done that once too and currently doing this for I’m Your Ex-Wife since the translator hasn’t translated the last 70 chapters yet and I’m almost done)

Go to review section, if you can’t find lemme know that

I just started writing reviews so there aren’t many.
Also I finished The World of Contrasts, yesterday I started Barge In. It has a manhwa here.

ask AI**

I read for emotional stimulation and escapism too lol, well mostly manhwas but might as well add novels to that list now more so cause I just finished reading all your reviews and omg the way you write them totally makes me wanna read the stories!!! And I love how all your reviews have criticism for the ai translators, which is very well needed!! I swear proof reading is so easy if you know basic English but those translators can't be bothered to do that.

I especially loved your review for Heat guiding and i added it to my tbr cuz I'm a big sucker for stories with the "villain who burns the whole world for you" trope!! I've heard a lotta good stuff about mdzs but yet to read it, I'll def add the dark danmeis you recommended to my list tyy. And yess ik about little mushroom, the manhua's art is soo ethereal omg, i haven't read the novel yet tho, sad you got pirated copies
Thank youu for telling me about ridibooks, i got curious and searched up the novel you mentioned AND ITS BL??? i totally thought it was straight from the title omg and the cover art is so good too!! lemme know if you'd recommend this story heh.

Barge in, the manhwa, is in my marinating list since I like to read completed stories, didn't know it had a novel too wow.

Hehe thank you <3
Heat Guiding is mostly smut remember that!
I don’t even care if you’re translating using ai but where’s the effort? Pronouns, names, titles so many mistakes. Some lines don’t make sense, some paragraphs are missing and some are repeated. And on top of that, you have to wait a whole year to read complete novel it because it’s behind a paywall.
What’s worse is that there are dumb kinds of readers who just give money to the translator. Cmon why don’t you just buy it from Ridibooks and translate it yourself? Use ai if you want but don’t give money to these socalled translators. I saw one of them from the Lillyonthevalley scan group they wanted to go to Japan and got more than $500 in donations
That’s the reason I started giving reviews so people know it’s ai and there’s zero effort.
Greedy smh
I’m Your Ex-Wife is a good guideverse novel. I haven’t finished it yet (I could finish it soon but ) but there’s another guideverse novel that also has a manhwa and it was really good! (A Guide to Succeed, loved the novel)
As for Barge In, I don’t recommend the novel. If you really want, you can read the manhwa but it’s just torture rape and more torture. I haven’t finished it anyway, the site is down.
