Would someone be so kind as to help me with more recommendations with manhwa like this. I've read dead man's switch and dreadful night and was hoping to find more. :)
Maybe you'd like "A Room Without Window". It's a short psychological/horror bl, with a 'gentle giant' seme and feisty uke. The main story is only 5 chapters, but there's also 12 chapters of side stories
You should read "Surviving Romance", the art is perfect and it's about time loops and a zombie apocalypse. It's not a bl and there's barely any actual romance
i second surviving romance! it was the first manhwa i thought of when i found this one, not a bl but i agree that it’s not rlly romance either haha
This is a really good read and the story is well done. The ending feels less rushed and almost like the author had to stop suddenly. But regardless it was interesting if you push through.
I wish they had put more time into showing how soohyun got over his possessive (semi-sadistic) impulse. It feels like it just magically disappeared.
My thoughts exactly
Why is it too much to ask for someone to just sit the other down and say "hey this is what happened in the past, funny right?". Pretty much never happens. They always wait until the situation is about to explode, or a near end lovey moment. Just tell them when you realize! Why is it always kept some big secret?
At what point am I supposed to start liking the mc? Please tell me he gets better...
I like him. I think he's just dealing with a lot of insecurity because of imposter syndrome. Obviously that doesn't justify treating people like shit but I appreciate that he's self-aware and makes an effort to treat Gallion better. I think he turned out alright considering he never had parental love and when his real mother came into his life, all she did was try to manipulate him. It'd be weird if after going back in time he suddenly became this well rounded guy. Therapy would do wonders for him
Yeah there are good parts for what the situation is. I just wish he would actively face the past and try to do better instead of putting all his effort into hyper avoidance.
Honestly, you probably won’t. From what I’ve read of the novel, he’s the kind of man who only really looks out for himself and prioritizes his own interests. In that sense, he’s realistic; most people aren’t heroic manhwa protagonists willing to sacrifice everything out of pure kindness. Most people would act more like him. I don’t like him at all, but it does make me wonder if I’d make some of the same choices, since it’s human nature to want to survive.
You don’t need to like him. Honestly, for me, it is more of “I don’t agree but I get it. I guess the mc felt human to me. He is selfish and seek survival. If it was me, I would do that too. Spoiler:
In his last life, his mind also got corroded by drug. His actions of course are completely on him. But in this life, his mind is clear so he made better decisions to survive, and he stay away from the people who will give him drug. He is cunning and calculating. His ultimate goal in this life is to just seek immunity from the empire, and eventually leave while gathering all the wealth from the trade he established. The informations he got from his previous life help a lot too, and he effectively use that to his advantage.
Oh the drug thing is interesting too. I don't think I'm going to like him but it's true there are a few things I definitely identify with.
I let this marinate 2 years ago and came back to see it still isn't finished. My question is yusen or the prince the ML?
Noone talked about leshera marrying the emperor but everyone is freaking out about a 4 year age gap. And if coming of age is at 20, he was still a minor too. People love to spout problems...
I really feel like this story didn't need a romance yet. I really wanted to see her grow happy and comfortable in her new family without this major distraction...
yeaaaa felt this 100%. i do like them but i wish there was less focus on that and more on herself, the fake saintess and/or that other guy, and her family dynamics.. （￣へ￣）
I feel like the characters themselves changed. They don't feel like the same people or vibe from s1. It's as if we really are reading a different story with different characters with a similar/identical plot. I wish the second artist would have tried harder to match the feel to the first artist.
