A Second Goodbye to You.

Healer
this is just insane in a bad way but like a trainwreck i cant take my eyes away??? like beyond the fucking insane plotline, story, names, TRAUMATIZING EVENTS, the story tries to go from A to B but they just cant make it work? its all a bit forced, youre moving things into place with a schedule rather than following a story thats happening. This is clinincal on multiple levels and this is so far from my usual story but FUCK IT im morbidly curious
Checkmate(TAN)
"burning hot but cold, frosty but warm" perfectly encapsulates their chharacters, and that dynamic is the main (and most compelling) feature of this story. I truly loved it. Yes, its a bit fucked up but its bc the ppl in it are a bit fucked up, due to fucked up circumstances, and this gives them the space to heal and grow together. This did a phenomenal job at characterization, and using LITERARY DEVICES (like wtfff) to convey the story?? and the contrast between the panels and dialogue totally deserves analysis!!! the beginning is definitely a little rough but you can totally see how the author and characters completely evolve!! Plus they do so around an interesting storyline with an incredibly satisfying end, which is a great plus to this manhua. It was such a delight to see the mc and ml fall in love, and try and analyze all the critical moments, I love how this emphasizes the show not tell mantra that so common in storytelling. I just think this is an amazing, if tragic (but happy ending) work THE EXTRAS R ALL ADORBS AND DOMESTIC RAHHHHH
Stalker's Game
ugh its just all around fucked up, and i did fucking hate every development of the story... but i admit it's exactly what was on the carton, and for what it is (STOCKHOLMMMM), its a pretty well developed manhua. i'm just not a fan of what it is tho lol
Someone Like You
