perfectly adequate beastman bl. no i don't care that my rl friends can see that i've read this. it's all worth being reminded i read this at the end of the year on my wrapped, frankly

anyways just v funny to have the authors note at the end basically be them going "wow i love beefy bottoms <3 so does my artist <3 we love beefy bottoms <3 muscle men ftw <3" like ur so right !! correct opinion !! glad the world of bl is being expanded to include beefy bottoms finally. bara enjoyers ur time is coming

fun little series of vignettes but there's something missing... works better as a shorts series I think.

i simply do not understand why this is so beloved by today's bl crowd. the art style isn't for me but that's an easy pass since it's consistent and well-proportioned. my main issue is with the frankly bland characters. i could've finished reading this in a day or two but i literally took 5 months out in between because i couldn't bear to look at their faces again. jinx is oddly compelling in comparison, even with it's frustrating lack of character development. 

one of my stars goes generally towards mingwa's sheer persistence and drive in putting this out. another one goes to the secondary couple, and it could've been two more if only for their side-story's plot. i'd have much preferred having the old sub's surprise backstory removed, and have it be a much more introspective look at chanwoo and md's relationship as well as their personal lives. 

as an extra point: i saw mingwa's interview with lezhin on youtube, and as soon as she said she grew up in a household that completely restricted porn it all made sense to me. I will not elaborate here but miss mingwa i hope it all goes well for you out there. please don't make jinx 120 chapters. 
Painter of the Night - Season 1 by Byeonduck

generally a fascinating bl to read. i love reading novels w horribly sadistic/masochistic characters, and this does hit the spot regarding that! the author's use of the historical setting is quite effective also. it's hard to not feel pity for nakyum. but i won't lie - it does get a little frustrating as a reading experience. i'm chalking it up to the fact that this is a piece that should be read in short bursts, due to its origin in serialisation, but all the same... byeonduck does know how to write an erotic sex scene though!

Killing Stalking by Koogi

3.5

very quick reread for... academic reasons...

still a very good psychological thriller. is this a BL? who can say. certainly not koogi, who hasn't been certain of it since perhaps before publishing.
to my friends: stay tuned to find out more etc etc... hehe

leaving this here for now cause I just can't get into the dynamic or the characters too much. fascinating steampunk vibe but unfortunately not what I'm looking for rn.
The Husky & His White Cat Shizun: Erha He Ta De Bai Mao Shizun (Novel) Vol. 4 by Rou Bao Bu Chi Rou

love how miss meatbun can go from an eloquent, moving monologue about the intersection of love and desire and the dangers of falling into all-consuming lust and then follow it up near-immediately with "oh no, shizun fell on mo rans behemoth schlong! what now!" 

anyways said monologues were very impressive. I'm intrigued to see more !! I think I'll wait for the official English books to read the rest, because I'm enjoying this translation so much. genuinely a phenomenal job.
