SpringHaze's manga / #Manhua/Manhwa(141)

This was a tear-jerker from start to finish but I couldn't stop ;_;

Too much plot for my puny brain :/

For a Chinese xianxia novel, this protagonist is really lovable, reminds me of SVSSS's Shen Qingqiu. Edit: I'm reading every update and upped the rating, I love this so fucking much <333. Novel here: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/how-to-survive-as-a-villain/ Edit 2: Still crazy in love with this story and right about now it's turning angsty af. Edit 3: I'm in tears, I love this guy, he's so kind! Also, GOD, the two generals are both dead?!??!?!? Nooooo!!! Edit 4: MC's sister is having her own gay romance, so cute! Edit 5: *screams from the rooftops* Brother Yan declared his most ardent feelings and he was very thorough in making his meaning clear, yes, yes, yes! Edit 6: I was warned he would die again, but man, must this be so heart-wrenching ;_; Also, the 2 generals are reunited after death, yes, yes, yes!!! And he meets his trusted servant, that girl who died for him. And here we go the reincarnation route again. Edit 7: I love that after he reincarnates there's no stopping the lovey-dovey stuff, they're all over each other at all hours, the tenderness <3. Edit 8: Xiao Yu An you little whore, you're complaining your beloved isn't sexing you enough, that you cannot seduce him??? When he's worried for your wounds and upset you risked your life??? These guys are crazy I love them <3. And then Xiao Yu An sucks him off while calling him 'husband' and Yan-ge is losing it (the sex is so shocking every time, it's all subtle poses and fluttering drapes and then the absolute certainty that Yu An is getting railed). This shamelessness is rewarded by a marriage proposal, Xiao Yu An is the best palace drama slut (except he is crazy in love). Edit 9: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER my babies my babies got married and they'll be happy forever and rule a prosperous reign. I'm just so emotional over this story, I can't believe it's done after years <333 (I think I started reading this during lockdown 2020, I might be wrong tho). Edit 10: The extras (⊙_(⊙_⊙)_⊙) he's back in modern times Edit 11: CEO Xiao is like... the coolest bitch :))))) Edit 12: And they're back in the novel! It was all an interlude to give all the characters who died happier endings and it was so sweet! Except now the story is truly finished ;__; Edit: Licensed in English and Spanish by the same publisher - Monogatari Novels!!! Shipping costs less than 7 euros from Spain!!! There is a special edition and it costs 100 lei!!! Out early 2024, is this a miracle?!?

Upi kills me again using the same tropes and I don't give a shit that it repeats the same scenario as the last story I read: angelic younger seme who develops an obsession for his hyung at a younger age, stalks him forever and 'accidentally' encounters him again and older uke who bottoms for the first time and gets it too good to quit it. Art is so, so lovely and the story flow is amazing <3.

I LOVE THIS SM!!! Art is gorgeous and story is well-developed and interesting, characters have rounded personalities and their relationship is so damn cute. Excellent sex scenes, too, gorgeous bodies and lots of rimming. I'm so in love with the baby-faced seme and the really hunky uke. they are so good together. They will get married <333.

I burned through this in one sitting, it was that good. Art is so, so lovely and the characters are complex, asshole and good guy, albeit grumpy, and they end up in such a weird relationship, less lovey dovey more buddies like but so good for each other. Loved that the author confirmed them versatile <3

Did I read this tho?!?

I think I kept hearing about this for a while before reading and the disappointment is huge. This is an alpha x alpha story, with the new addition (for me) of dominant and recessive alpha genes - but it truly makes no difference, might as well have been feisty omega x bullying alpha and it would have been the exact same thing. For all the praise I was definitely not expecting the blackmail and subsequent rape, cause that's what it is when you have sex with someone you don't want to have sex with dammit. Last chapter shows them partnered and recessive alpha more vocal in bed and happier (I have no idea what their names are, Korean names are so fucking hard), but the journey to that point is unsatisfying. Also they are a fated pair, with names showing up on their bodies sometime while they are fucking, and I wanted an actual explanation for why these are not present earlier?

I really like Liang Azha's works, his drawing style and the cute way he tells a story (man, those watercolours are to die for). Already bought All of You in print in Italian, I wish there was more of his work available in Europe.

My new strategy is to read webtoons in print cause they're murder to scroll through and I'm livid that the publishing industry is thwarting my plan by not licensing more.
