pluviophiliac's manga / #daddy energy overload(1209)

I didn’t even notice that I hadn’t marked this as ‘completed’ once i did, in fact, complete it back in July. Either way, it’s most definitely ONE. OF. MY. FAVORITE. YAOI. GRAPHIC. NOVELS!!! (As of late 2021, at least.) Fucking hell, y’all. The sex was so hot I thought I’d die pretty much throughout the whole thing, fuck. I kinda miss it… It’s been almost six months since the last time i read it, sheesh. I still remember it as if it was yesterday! I might actually go back and reread it soon. I remember really liking its conclusion, too. I enjoyed the (toxic) dynamics between our two mains, but I especially liked how it’d thoroughly changed by the time we reached the end of the story. It kept me captivated, that’s for sure!!! By the way, these were my notes while I was actively reading it: “i’m simping for vasya so. very. hard. (yes, i have issues.) but FUUUUCK MEEEE, HE’S SO FUCKING ATTRACTIVE!!! i literally start to get wet every single time he opens his mouth. GAAAAWD.” I guess it should tell y’all something, lololol. This was a good introduction story for me when it comes to unhealthy relationships, violence and toxicity. I’d never really entertained the thought before this, but maaan, it set the bar. Especially considering I’ve read more graphic novels with similar tropes, characters and characteristics than I can count on all my limbs at this point in time… and this one is still among the top few in which I can recall most details vividly and explicitly. Amazing. Anyway, you guys should definitely check this one out if you happen to enjoy violence, RIDICULOUSLY hot mafia men, as well as hot, steamy sex. Low-key getting wet just thinking about it, FML. (TMI but IDC.) Later skater!!! edit: by now, it’s mid 2023, and i’ve read this twice… and i’m definitely still a fan. it was a lot shorter and than i remembered, though… and kinda emotionally lacking, too?? like, their yoon’s feelings literally came out of nowhere all of a sudden. the whole thing felt kinda rushed because of that aspect, but other than that, i don’t really feel the need to add much to my previous review. (vasily’s smirk still gets me all hot and bothered, lololol.) still, to be fair, it’s been nearly three years since my first rodeo, and i’m bound to have much more ‘material’ to compare this manhwa to, no? so yeaaaah, i can’t really say that it’s all that ‘steamy’ compared to all the others things i’m reading these days. if anything, their smut’s actually pretty tame… graphically speaking, i mean. i do love me some intricately graphic sex. ;) but anywayyyy, that’s about it.

ughhh, not back to this again… just COMMUNICATE, you imbeciles!!!!!! edit: this is just the best. i love it!!! and the comedic aspects are literal GOLD. edit #2: it’s over. i’ve truly enjoyed reading this—despite all the ups and downs. <33 also, great character development!!! that’s always one of my favorite aspects to any story i read.

ughhh, this has been pretty freakin’ WHOLESOME, y’all. an overall enjoyable plot, too! i wouldn’t say that the plot itself was part in original, nor did the characters really stand out, but i’ve appreciated the nice and slow character development and all this lovey-dovey sweetness!!! heh, i quite dig it. well, i suppose it’s fair to say that this manhwa hasn’t exactly been my first priority lately… but i did binge the last nine chapters once i realized that the end was nigh! anyway. in every which way, i’ve always enjoyed this story, and i loved our mains’ relationship and its (relatively) slow progression. my god, they’re so freakin’ adorable together. <33 i liked seeing the side characters’ relationships slowly develop and mature as well. it’s just so sweet! a nice, wholesome bonus. i hope there’ll be a few more bonus chapters, or even possible side stories!!! i’d love to see what their children are like as adults—or possibly even teenagers. but, the ending itself made sense to me, and i feel that things were wrapped out quite nicely! heh, oh well. guess that’s about it. until next time!!!

aaaand, we’re done! this one has been… surprisingly funny. and super adorable, too! honestly, i don’t have much else to say. i pretty much liked all the characters—cecile and estian and girgantia and richard and tania and all the other side characters. such fun dynamics, really! in a sense, i found it quite innovative, too. was it cliché? yes, but i still never really knew what to expect, heh. so, overall, i’m very pleased!!!

that’s an ice queen right there. i stan her. i do enjoy the political aspects of it all, too!

adorable. the art is gorgeous, lippe and rias will become a FANTASTIC match, and her relationships with her friends and family are just so freakin’ sweet and wholesome. this lady is a queen, my god. love her.

wholesome af. a bit tedious at times, but i still read every update as soon as i spot one nonetheless! i like how it’s been pretty educational, too. i only wish there’d been more of a conclusion at the end there… i didn’t even realized it’d been completed, to be honest. the whole thing was just not as obvious as i’d hoped. heh. the only reason i know this now is because i just went though my reading list, found this lovely graphic novel just chilling over there and decided to check if i happened to have missed something—which i apparently had, but it’s meh. i’d say it was a decent ending. but anyway!!! nonetheless, it was sweet as hell—no cap. my only REAL complaint would probably be about the characters themselves. all of them are unfortunately boring and quite generic, i’m afraid. despite how ‘convenient’ it’s been, it’s most likely the main reason as to why it’s never been the most appealing story to me. like i said earlier, it’s definitely sweet and all that… but, in my personal opinion, i feel that the characters lack both personality and character. sheesh.

ugh, i miss this. where are the updates?!

man, i can’t believe it’s already been over two years since i started reading this… time sure goes by fast, haha. i’ve been following ‘golden time’ since the very first chapter was released (because light & shadow was, and still is, a favorite of mine), and i gotta say that this hasn’t been disappointing me at all. i’ve loved all the dynamics and emotional bonding between the characters, the overall character development, as well as the actual plot-progression, of course! the art’s freakin’ exquisite, too. i’m really looking forward to these two upcoming side-stories! (yes, this review is embarrassingly short, i’m well aware, but i just wanted to say that i’ll 100% be back for the author’s next story—whatever it might be. i already know it’ll be quality content.)

goddamn, that’s spice alright. FUUUUCK.
