very lovely couple. jihan tries his best to help heal yoon seo past wounds. their first meeting was a bit rough but eases up once jihan learns of the situation. a very angsty story overall. <spoiler>yoon seo doesn’t get rid of his debuff until the very end of the side story, which is also where the nsfw is.</spoiler>

a very plot-centric bl. euijae pretty much is a “go-with-the-flow” person, that is to say he still has his own opinions. i think sayoung held my interest more throughout this novel, he’s one of my favorite tops ever in bls.

i think the best part about this novel was its characters. authornim did a great job building each character of the main cast, especially, for me, yoohyun and hyunjae. the writing is very expressive. i enjoyed reading this novel quite a lot.

soleum is a good person. he may thinks he’s a coward but does his best to make sure everyone survives every time. each arc is filled with tension, and the writing makes it all the more engaging. there are hidden details that shows the depth of characters, by that i mean it isn’t directly conveyed to the reader. the horror aspect isn’t too intense, if you’re afraid of that. give it a try if you’re looking for a gripping experience!

tbh, i don’t believe there’s much high stakes situations in this novel. although, yes, it’s packed with action, everything feels as if it’s always “in control,” so it lacks a bit of thrilling energy for me. it’s a fun novel to read, still. i don’t regret purchasing the chapters. ^^

this was a great experience. dokja is a very “human” mc. he’s neither a good nor bad person. flaws are what makes humans “human.” the novel had a unique concept and it was well-executed.

it’s a fun and quick ncp novel. i’m biased towards this kind of novels so i can’t criticize much of it. if anything, i wish to see more of the villains and other characters besides the mc.

lukas is very charismatic and intelligent. it is not shown through words on paper but through his actions, “show not tell” basically. authornim’s writing is incredibly thought-provoking. it’s definitely not a novel you can just skim through. the synopsis doesn’t do this novel justice. this work contains heavy topics, such as politics, ethical issues, religions, etc. if you’re looking for a traditional action fantasy story, this one is not for you. it’s a story about humanity.

this was unexpectedly cute for me. with how bibi was introduced, i was going in with the expectation of this being a toxic relationship, which, well, it still does have a bit of underlying issues (but the amount is so tiny, almost nonexistent, besides, bibi is quite abnormal). i’m so happy they got together. go amy! go bibi!

such a heartwarming manga. heine and his students are so very cute. nothing too intense, just a slow-paced life story about a teacher and his journey educating king-to-be princes.
