The Hunter’s Gonna Lay Low
what a beautiful novel through and through. i took my sweet time reading this (6 months on/off) just because i never wanted the story of 240j to end. the way their relationship developed was beautiful, seeing how much they care about each other, exploring the loneliness they each experienced, etc. not to mention, i love that the side characters were so fun to read too. you think the angst might stop soon, but it doesn't. cha euijae and lee sayoung completely stole my heart with this one. do note that this is definitely more plot-centric, but i just loved it. 240j is forever and ever also cha euijae is seriously such a STRONG mc, like both his powers and how he's written. what a fantastic character. lee sayoung is definitely my favorite character though, he completely won my heart over and is probs like a top 3 character for me rn at the time i write this review

Debut or Die
such a fantastic novel. not only do you get to see the mc's character development as the story goes on, but you get to see his relationships around him bloom despite the stuff the system makes him go through and see the characters around him also grow into who they are. it's really such a lovely idol story, i've been into idol media/an idol fan forever and this is truly my favorite. what makes it so fun is the various povs you get because it's not only moondae, you get povs of his members and even various fans! it's really so fun and thrilling. i've laughed so much reading it, i've held my breath at certain moments, i've probably just felt every emotion while reading this. i really love testar and everything they overcame just to be together, it's really touching :) i would recommend this to everyone and it's 10000% worth the read!!

Little Mushroom
where does one even begin when describing this novel. the world building in this is fantastic, it makes you feel that you're there alongside an zhe and lu feng. outside the bl plot, this story really had me thinking about their world and how it must've been like for humans to survive in such an apocalyptic setting. an zhe's self discovery journey as someone who really just started off as a little mushroom was beautiful to witness. seeing lu feng's barriers break down because of this little mushroom was seriously everything. their relationship throughout the story was so fun to watch, their dynamics were so good and they were both caring of each other without needing to say any words. if you're okay with a bl that's more plot centric, but with a beautiful romance that slowly blossomed, please read this. i'll be rereading it here and there for sure, luzhe has taken over my heart :)

Wait for Me After School
the angst, the yearning, this novel does it all so perfectly. shenfan's dynamic felt so natural from the start and seeing their relationship grow made my heart so warm. <spoiler>i don't like unnecessary separation arcs, but i really really loved this one + their reunion.</spoiler> i can't recommend this danmei enough seriously

I Have An Unrequited Love On A Murderer
It’s a quick read. Seme abuse is real here and it’s a toxic relationship, honestly it’s just yaoislop to the max LOL. I did like though that the murderer is the uke but other than that bleghhh whatever

Sahan
a truly beautiful short read. i had read s1 of the manhwa and decided i didn't want to wait any longer and just read the entire novella. i was very happy with how sahan's depression, suicidal ideation, lack of hope towards the future and his inability to deal with the unconditional love that was shown by heegeon was portrayed. i love how we got to understand why heegeon felt this unconditional love towards sahan too. i really loved the author's prose throughout the story and i thought the way they dealt with sahan was done really well, i just have tons of praise for this

No Moral
No Moral is currently my favorite BL manhwa and up there as one of my favorite novels that I’ve read. I don’t even know how to explain it, I know a lot of people struggle to like Seheon because of how rude and cold he is in the beginning. But as the story goes on, seeing his love for Yunshin be shown constantly really got to me. And seeing how open and understanding Yunshin is despite all their differences and the hardships they go through together… they’re everything to me
