crystalvmin's manga / #action(7)

I'm not usually in this for the smut but thinking I was robbed of beefy men smexy time is making me livid

AHHHHHHH honestly I'm not exaggerating if I say that my heart is melting !! These are the kinds of manhua that make you want to continuously punch your pillow into oblivion because they're just too cute ! I really like all of the characters' personalities especially for our 2 MCs. I am really attracted to cool and strong-willed characters so this manhua was definitely my cup of tea. Though it was just a bit noticeable that the art style kinda changed drastically, which made the boys look more baby boy-like (though it doesn't look bad at all) compared to how they started out as which was kind of a shame since the art/design of Da Fei's shaved head was completely taken out of his character (which honestly was his appearance's focal point) and without explanation either :< Other than that, I'm not really complaining about anything else (ofc, the crazy censorship was a given, the implied scenes will have to do T^T) as this manhua is amazing <3

You know that the art is good as hell when the smut isn’t as explicit compared to other R-rated BLs (e.g., showing of privates) but it’s still so sexy and sensual. The way their hair falls down, how they all grasp and hold each other, how they touch each other so softly, THE EXPRESSION OF EVERYTHING is just too good. Calling it beautiful art is an understatement. To complement the gorgeous art, the story is also great, interesting, and feels very noir without everything being black and white only. I loved that the author took their time in discussing the stories and backstories of everyone AND who knew we were getting some GL on the side which really made me love everything even more. Furthermore, even with such a plot, they didn’t forget to insert really funny panels as well. You wouldn’t expect it, but it really gave the manhwa more variety. Greatly recommend this !

The plot is pretty good and I really appreciated the attention to detail. The MC is super smart and super badass with a cute group of friends hehe. I really thought there wouldn’t be a progression in the relationship between the MC and ML because they were so hostile towards each other, especially when MC had a thing for ML way before the current events, but it did work out in the end. For those looking for a “yaoi” BL, it doesn’t actually focus on that. Even the romance of the manhwa sets in at like 80-90% towards the end of the main story as it heavily focused on the plot. It wouldn’t say that the romance was slow burn because the BL aspect did kinda seem like an afterthought but I would say that the romance trope would be the annoyance/hater to lover type; there are mature scenes in the sides though.
