10/10

•Sasaki to Miyano

( classic school romance, lovable cast and nice art, wholesome, i love that the characters feel human and no misunderstandings, no smut)

•One room TA

(college life, comedy, older uke X younger seme, roomates, i LOVE the characters and their development, they feel like real people who lived a whole life before meeting each other, they're not perfect and that's okay! They show you how to love through the other persons faults and through you own as well. Season two is truly when i fell in love with the story after learning more deeply about the mcs teen hood that shaped into who he was at the start of the story. This manhwa is also HILARIOUS it never fails to make me lol and i have plenty of memes saved from it😌, its mostly episodic so its fun and you don't feel like you need to binge it in one night just enjoy reading a few here and there, has smut but it's very minimal)

9/10
Manga/hwa that i love:

•Its just a dream... Right?

(The top is a lovable golden retriever, green forest, nice art and character development, good plot progression, became one of my favorites its just so cute and smut scenes are fun, has smut)

•Yatara yarashi fukami kun

( office life, both of them were already aware they were gay so no "but hes a man it can't be moments"😍, love the character development, has smut)

•Banana Scandal season 2-3

(collegelife, redemption arc, season 1 is a different couple which is why its separated its in 5/10 if you want to read, the art is miles better than season 1 so please push through its SO worth it!!, i love their character development they felt like real people and the drama was good and not overdone, everything felt like it had a reason. THe story ended with tying loose ends but also leaving room for smaller after stories. And i gotta say it Taehwan is top 5 hottest tops in BLs👍👍👍 thank god the art style chnaged so we could experience him in all his glory. has smut)

8/10
Manga/hwa that i enjoyed a lot but its not perfect

•Here u are

(College life, quiet top sunshine bottom chemistry, delicious art, bottom is publicly out of the closet which was a nice change of pace, characters feel very human with real emotions, almost no smut. Used to be a favorite but after rereading i lowered it from 9 to 8)

•Merry marbling

(school, enemies to lovers, neighbors, delicious art style, loveable cast, wholesome, sometimes the drama feels a bit nonsensical but overall a very lovely read, no smut)

• Drunk punch love ( office life, both already know they're gay, rich top, bottom has a loving family and is the FUNNIEST character in BL i have ever seen he is an ICON i love him. has smut)

• The most ordinary relationship

( A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, they're already in a relationship, the story follows the struggles of after the happy ever after we usually get. They fight and bicker like a couple but still love each other very much both the pretty and the ugly sides, has smut)

•Can't think straight

(college life, roomates, red flag top redemption, at first i gave it a 1 and dropped it but one day i reread it and got past season 2 and then it got really good! If you don't have patience for the top being insufferable for 2 seasons this ain't for you though, has smut)

• red thread quest

(college life, highschool "friends" to lovers, has fantasy elements such rebirth and higher power, hoobae crybaby top sunbae buttom, funny with nice art, has smut)

•Spinach bouquet

(Neighbors to lovers, senpai x kohai, just a wholesome green flag manhwa with cute characters and a nice story, for the most part it doesn't try to do too much and that's what i like about it, has smut in the side story)

•Under the green light

(gangster, dark themes, older uke, the setting and atmosphere is so good you can feel their emotions through the screen, amazing art, good story, what i absolutely LOVE about this one is that its a dark manhwa with NO SA NO 🍇 NO weird fetishes (like incest and shit like that) you may have noticed that 90% of the mang/hwa i read is green and wholesome because all the dark ones need to have someone getting SAd every second chapter so this was SUCH a pallette cleanser!! Finally i had something dark to read i was getting diabetes from all the sugar. I loved that the characters are complex they have trauma and they're not perfect by any means, i loved how real the world felt, my favorite was at the end when Matthew realizes that in order to be the best towards Jin he needs to be better as an individual in the sense that he needs to have a purpose other than loving him{ its actually one of the gripes i had with cherry blossom after winter when i felt that should've happened but didn't its in the 6/10 if you're curious}, i really recommend this one if you want a darker story with no 🍇 has smut)

7/10
Manga/hwa i likee them but were missing something:

•Pygmalion (HILARIOUS, fantasy world, art sometimes lacking, the plot is crazy it only barely works because the manhwa is so fucking funny, without the comedy it would be a 5, if you want to read something light hearted that would make you vocally laugh you need this one in your life, has smut)

•Inseverable (art is gorgeous, golden retriever top black cat bottom chemistry, enemies to lovers, take my opinion with a grain of salt i read this in korean which i am not fluent in so maybe missed things: some of the drama feels forced, and i don't like the way their relationship started it just used some manhwa logic to make it work which im not a fan of i prefer realistic progression, but the art is just sooo tasty, no smut )

•Nerd Project (college life, roomates, kinda enemies to lovers, rich top, story used manhwa logic sometimes i prefer realistic progression which is why its a 7, has smut)

•Checmmate(Toxic, both of them are messed up in the head, red flags all around, good art, interesting story, i don't usually read red flags but i wanted to try it out since so many people liked it, i definitely wont reread it or recommend it but if you just turn off your brain its entertaining, i think the fact that both of them are crazy made it enjoyable, if it felt like one person is being taken advantage of it would be too much for me, warning there is abuse in the story and 🍇 has smut)

•The seduction of the deep sleeper ( Neighbors kinda, both already came out , nice short story miscommunication gets solved fast, has smut smut scenes were a bit mid imo, and the first few chapters are a bit 🍇y, entertaining overall but didn't blow my mind)

• The new recruit (Office life, age gap, SuperiorXEmployee, i like that the romance was very realistic it didnt start as obsession from first sight, they started as being physically attracted to each other and slowly building the romance, i kinda lost it in the office drama and work mumbo jumbo i just skipped that dialogue 😅, i usually don't like age gaps as it feels predatory but because the younger one is actually mature since he is 28 it was actually really sweet. has smut )

• Kind of a wolf (Neighbors, Collegelife, Kinda haters to lovers, Beasts, Supernatural, Oneshot, Short and sweet can't go wrong with it.has smut)

All you want, whenever you want (Worklife, SuprvisorXWorker, Oneshot, the start is a bit cliché nothing I've never seen before, if you want a short inoffensive read you'll like this one has smut )

Love at first fright (Strangers to lovers, supernatural, nice art, green forest top🌲 i enjoyed it, has some funny moments and a lot of potential, if it was longer it could've been a 8-9. It suffers from what most short series have, it progressed too fast and skipped some steps but overall i enjoyed it and it made me laugh would recommend if you want something short to read, has smut)

6/10 Manga/hwa tHat i finished because i was in too deep but nothing to write home about

•Megumi Tsugumi(Omegaverse, schoolife, delinquent, alphaXomega, personally im not a fan of omegaverse this is actually the first one ive read, it feels too predatory and animal like to me. The manga is not the problem it could me lol. The bottom is the dumb muscle head type which is cute the relationship between him the top felt a bit rushed but i appreciate that the top is respectful, has smut)

•Cherry blossoms after winter(school(s1) college (s2) work(s3), quiet top sunshine bottom chemistry, this is a controversial take ik, im not a fan of the plot progression, if it ended in s2 it would've been a 7.5-8 but in s3 it became a lot more focused on smut and drama became too predictable, i think i scored it so low because im disappointed in the story it could've been so much more, i think instead of doing another oh whose out to get them again it could've focused on their relationship and character development. To me them getting together wasn't a satisfying ending i wish the author showed the struggles of making your significant other your entire personality but instead it was kinda celebrating even though its a toxic mindset in disguise, has smut but takes a while)

Sketch(Strangers to lovers, younger top, incredible art. Another unpopular ranking, personally i just couldn't get into it, the drama felt too forced and i couldn't understand the characters reasonings. I also really didn't like how forceful the top was and wouldn't listen when told to stop its supposed to be his quirky trait but i hate it and it makes me not get into the story, has smut

Low tide in twilight (Omegaverse, gangsters, AlphaXOmega, i knew i wouldn't like it since i don't like red flags or Omegaverse the only reason i read was because everyone always talked about it so i wanted to be in on the loop😅, its just a story with everything i don't like in BLs, as a story itself ill give it a 7 it was an interesting read but i hate it being romanticized, as a BL its 5-6, one good thing ill say i like the art style A LOT!)

• Honey Bear (Younger seme X older uke, green forest seme💚 to a fault sometimes it feels forced, sweet story the uke is a bit annoying sometimes but there is a reason. Art is nice story is nothing new its a solid 6 just an average wholesome bl, has smut)

• Off stage love side (Idol X Bodyguard, sweet and short to the point, just very avarage but one of the better short ones that ive read, the progression didnt feel that rushed unlike what i usualy feel happens in shorter mangas, has smut)

•Dekoboko sugar days (School life, childhood friends, short top tall bottom, art is nice, it was cute but nothing crazy just a nice short read, has smut)

•There are things i can't tell you (childhood friends to lovers, its too short i feel like everything happened too fast, could've been a nicer story if it was longer i couldn't really FEEL for the characters, has smut)

•Tayutau kohaku ( Worklife, Coworkers, Bottom already knows hes gay, very short, as you can see i just cant get into short stories its not enough time for me to connect with the characters, if you like short stories its cute and the characters feel mature i actually believe they're adults wHo lived a whole life before this, dont think theres smut will check)

•Unlucky cupid messenger(college life, Quiet top friendly bottom, bottom knows hes gay, delicious art style, way too short so it wasn't that memorable and because its so short the pacing is wack, if the art wasn't good would've been a 4, has smut)

•Banana Scandal Season 1

(college life, roomates, im sorry i hate the art style i actually dropped it once because i couldn't take the story seriously, but because season 2&3 were getting so much praise i picked it up again, season 1 is a different couple from 2/3 that couple is in the 9/10 category if you wanna know what i thought. I really really don't like the seme I think he's a perverted creep and i hate how the story ignores it and moves the story and their relationship forward like he didn't do what he did. I don't like him so i couldn't connect to the story and the art style didn't make it any easier im sorry, has smut)

•Melting strawberry (Cakeverse, im sorry i just can't take that shit seriously i don't even remember what happened there i just remember i had 2nd hand embarrassment the entire time, has smut)

Banana scandal (college life, i reallllly tried to like this one but the art style is just not good imo its hard for me to take the story seriously when the characters look like that, i dropped at around 20 chapters, it also used some manhwa logic that i also didn't like, and im sorry but the top is creepy.

•Sweet or bitter love (Work life, arranged marriage, oneshot, this is the epitome of what i mean when i say i hate manga logic- nothing makes sense, the seme is a creep but im supposed to feel like he's some romantic guy, the pacing is terrible, and there's a classic miscommunication for the sake of it, this manga pretty much ticked all of the boxes of what i don't like im bls, has smut)

Stay out of my head (College life, just terrible in my opinion. Even though its short its not worth your time, bad story nothing makes sense, annoying characters, terrible progression.has smut)
