These are things I'm currently reading or just finished. I'm more likely to add things I'm currently reading more than my media page because I read so much yaoi and sometimes I have lots of things to say but can't really talk about it openly due to my fujoshiisms being a bit much even for my close friends.
I may include some other things that aren't actually yaoi that are also heavily NSFW. Perhaps some of the yuri NSFW will be moved over here in the future.
Hook Line and Sinker | 08.24.2025 |
I found this manwha really funny. I'm not going to lie, and that was because of Kang Shinjoo. I don't remember a lot outside of Kang Shinjoo. I think I've reread even and my main memory is Kang Shinjoo.
There's people who really don't like this manga because of Kang Shinjoo by the way. Kang Shinjoo is a sex pest and pushes the couple together with the goal of having a threesome with them. There's a lot of other he does that are insane by the way. People who dislike this manwha often find themselves uncomfortable with the treatment of the protagonist and the misunderstandings which is fair but Kang Shinjoo.. Kang Shinjoo is soo fucking funnyyy.
I think it's too a point where everyone in this manwha is stupid. Like, I think the stupidity of like over the top personalities of everyone is hilarious. It's hard because stupidity is really frustratingin a lot of manwha, but in this one, it's like.. Shinjoo... Shinjoo is good baseline to understand like the intelligence/behavior to expect of people this manwha.
The love interest is really stupid. The protagonist is also stupid and pretty innocent. And Kang Shinjoo is smarter than both of them but also stupid and over the top. There's basically only a few ways for the story to go with Kang Shinjoo being smarter than the couple, and at some point you stop expecting logic and roll with it.
I also need to get across.. I lost interest in the main couple and was more focused on Kang Shinjoo (I keep saying his name because I laugh). And,when I got to the end, I waited and waited for side stories only to discover while writing this, there will be a whole ass sequel focused on Kang Shinjoo.
I hope he gets his ass beat. He probably will because his love interest was the only person in the manwha who could really chill him the fuck out. I'm gonna start reading that. Only 6 CH now..
Mr. A's Farm | 08.24.2025 |
Okay. So, this manwha is insane to me. I need it to be understood that I don't really read hentai. Smut manwha and hentai manwha are different, and I know that will sound like a cope, but I'm saying it because it means when I read hentai, I seee things I didn't know. I thought my normal yaoi was insane, but Mr. A's Farm tops off everything.
I'm vaguely aware that hentai often has weird plot points, but a lot of the time it's just sort of acts as vehicles for sex to happen which is why I find all of it boring. Even if I read a hentai manga/manwha with a strange plot, I sort of tune it out because it doesn't matter.
But Mr. A's farm seems to have a sort of insanity I am not used to. It has an entire mystery plot running, really good humor, the characters are designed really well, and also, like, the animals all have like... unique anatomy (they are all futanari- sorry), but I didn't know that was a world you could also apply to guys? I've never thought about it.
It serves interesting purpose in this story. I really like this weird world. I'd like this story possibly without it being hentai / having sex though it does make it better and insane. The protagonist is really funny to me. Little A.
He's a like shonen protagonist. He has that glow in his eyes and that like.. kindness born out naivete and stupidity. I really like him a lot though I do wonder if I'd feel differently if the characters weren't men lol, but anyways, um, there's a lot of other cute characters too.
Big Dog who attacks Little A and tells him to do 'no funny business.' The big cow man who's big tiddies I guess are the main appeal for a lot of people. And the most interesting character so far is this.. guy who lays eggs. I enjoy him. He's good and the scenes with him are insane. I think this became solidified amongst my favorites despite being only 13 chapters in after I got to know him a bit more.
I think it could easily fall out of my favorites though I am not sure. The mystery arc in background has an answer that is there and has been stated allowed though the specifics of the situation are a mystery.I hope it's done well because if it sucks, then I'll have a bad taste in my mouth, but so far, everything's been good.
I think.. having this sort of .. People becoming livestock and then being on a farm and treated as livestock in this hentai yaoi harem manga... I think there's things to say, but I'm not sure what I want to say. Maybe another time..
Formless | 08.24.2025 |
This was fine. It's one of those "Rich criminal abuses poor guy in debt." I don't think it's as uninteresting as a lot of other yaoi with similar plots, but honestly... Ehh..
I was invested and then it ended.
Okay, one notable thing about this manwha is that the protagonist doesn't really view Kang-Woo as a romantic partner, just an abuser which makes the final few chapters just feel ridiculous to me, but people who read the light novel said that thing is terrifying, so I might read it.
Because the story wants to tell an abuse thing so bad, and it's so close, but the ending really misses the mark for me and I just felt like "that's it?" I kind of get how we got to that point, but it wasn't really.. anything to me.
I wonder if it was pacing issue or the suddenness or because the ending just felt kind of abrupt. I don't know. It has interesting characters that could make this entire thing interesting but fails to actually carry that out.
I Swear I'm Not a Scammer! | 08.24.2025 |
This thing is so booring and sooo poorly written. Makes me insane. I stopped reading this I think at the end of S1 and if you asked me to describe anything that happened over S1, I'd say "that guy's eyes glowed and he might've killed someone but honestly I kind of forgot"
It's one of the manwha that just sort of spirals into sex, and it's really boring. The scenes aren't good but even if they were, there's soo much that it's lame. I feel like the relationship is really built. The actual plot thing where he's a wolf doesn't really feel like anything.
I may pick it back up since we're into S2. Maybe the script will improve, but S1 was just soo bad to me. And I want to say, it's not awful- it's just boring.
My Sadistic Master | 08.24.2025 |
ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!
I love this manwha. It's so good. Girl reads BDSM manga and loses her mind. The protagonist is good. I enjoy him. He sort of feels like commentary on yaoi protagonists haha in that he is sort of constantly called a baby, and earlier on int he manga, he has a crush on a guy for a really long time and then moves on. Someone tries to blackmail him, and he smashes their phone because the person he loves is at risk then he gets anxious over possibly being in trouble for smashing the guys' phone over anything else. The love interest is surprised imagining this cute guy smashing someone's phone for him. I think it shows how their relationship still has soo much potential to grow too.
The love interest is a rich mafia guy which makes it crazier because his lover is a pretty cool guy. I love like, evil mafia men, but specifically with weak baby protagonists, the dynamic is overplayed and dull. The protagonist, Jin Yu-an, just wouldn't be with an abusive partner also. It would be a very boring story.
But Mr. Juicy (sorry) introduction and progression is really delightful. He rejects Jin Yu-an but Jin Yu-an pushes a bit further (it's a dating app and Mr. Juicy thinks Yu-an is too young). When they meet, he's very scary to everyone around him including Yu-an, and Juicy just treats Yu-an to dinner.
Thorughout manwha, Juicy sort of views Yu-an as like.. a little creature and struggles to differentiate between feelings of cuteness vs attraction which I love. Juicy is really careful with Yu-an, but their intimacy intensifies over the manwha which is fun to me. I love Yu-an going from wishing more would happen to going "how are you walking around after doing that?" There's things I'm not into in this manwha at all, but the scenes are so good and Mr. Juicy just makes every scene really good. Recent scene actually makes protagonist feel mortified but he still finds Juicy so hot.
Definitely one of my favorites. It's just good.
The romance is slow but good. I enjoy these weird slow burns. I think the dynamic they have makes it more interesting too. Lots of age gap manwha yaoi running right now that handles it well. They're a cute couple. Enjoy.
Oh also, Yu-an does not know Juicy is in the mafia so we'll see how that goes! (Or Yakuza..? Does it translate it to Yakuza..? Is it the same in Korea..?)
Toys of Trade | 08.24.2025 |
I really like Toys of Trade. I usually put off reading historical fiction for because Western historical fiction is often Evil, but the times I've read historical fiction from Korea and Japan have been pretty good, and this manwha I've enjoyed immensely. I also get this out of the way. Obviously a bunch of stuff isn't historical and for some reason every historical yaoi fan feels the need to say this. I get that some people really want accurate historical yaoi and I can sort of get that, but it feels a bit silly when opening something called "Toys of Trade"
Anyways, the dynamic between the two lovers is very good. It actually is sort of the opposite of Painter of the Night or anything like that. Nobleman really doesn't try to control Sin-hu (the sex toy maker) at all. His desire to constantly win Sin-Hu over is good, and Sin-Hu's hesitance makes sense early on even if you don't know the reason for that.
The Nobleman, Park Hyowon, is hard for me to wrap my head around. He's so normal (nobleman style). He really does just feel like a silly kind of ignorant rich person, but not in an infuriating way. He doesn't seem to understand the implications of his actions and constantly puts of things that the plot points as being 'inevitable' (marriage and stopping having sex all the time). A lot of the time rich protagonists feel really distant and unrelatable which isn't inherently bad, but it just makes Park Hyowon notable. He has really normal problems; he's just thinks about them rather flippantly.
Sin-Hu is cute too. Kind of moe. I don't find him that interesting, but I do like him. He sort of just feels like he's in a constant state of uncertainty and anxiety, especially right now which is more obvious not that's now a quiet distant love interest.
It's been on hiatus for a few weeks now. I miss it. I do enjoy it quite a bit. I like toy focused manwha a lot.. There's a lot of it in yaoi. Yuri sisters when will you learn..? It can be hard to find good ones because they can just be kind of a bit too sex-focused to the point of boredom.
Though sometimes I don't know what is quite happening in the plot and have to go back and reread lol. Historical intrigue.. Blackmail, etc. Also, well, sometimes characters look similar because of the historical hairstyles and similar clothes and all the noblemen, so I'm like "eehh?" I think it's somewhat natural when reading something that releases over time, but I feel it more strongly with this than many other things I read. A lot of plot stuff sort of happens in the background, or old characters will appear and I'm "I sort of remember you and I just reread but you still are hard to recognizer cause your hair is up."
But yeah, still recommend! I think it's not like crazy or anything, but it's good.. Good to read.. Good manwha... And a lot of attention and stuff given to toys which is always pleasing.
Jinx (again) | 08.23.2025 |
Obviously I've talked about Jinx before but a lot of ground has been made in the manwha, so I feel as though I should talk about it again haha. I... don't think Jinx is going to be good The author of this is the same as manwhaga as BJ Alex, and BJ Alex is a classic. It's a very annoying manwha in the first half but the reward of the chase arc is really good. I also thought every character in BJ Alex was pretty fantastic.
Jinx has been compared to BJ Alex by many readers. Unfortunately, I think I have to do it too now. The cruelty of the love interest, Jae-kyung, is a mirror of BJ Alex. He does some awful things like BJ Alex did, but I recently saw some old panels someone posted and I realized that Jae-kyung is evil.
I know that like, there's a lot of evil guys in yaoi and honestly straight romance too, and I think a certain amount of evilness is to be expected, but Jae-kyung is actually like terrible in a way that is not really acknowledged in this arc.
Another red flag is that his backstory was revealed in like one chapter, but it doesn't really go into why he's so evil. Actually if anything, the backstory made me really confused on why he treated Kim Dan the way he did???
BJ Alex did this really well. All of his behavior was understandable, and earlier on, arguably some of it was kind of justified, but Jae-kyung tortures Kim Dan for no reason. He throws away gifts from him, he has sex with him and delights in his pain, and unlike Alex,there has really been no sign of love from him. I like evil characters, but I don't know why Jae-kyung did that??
I need you to understand I was writing this then saw the next chatper update which explaining the 'jinx' and it made me more confused!!!!!! Everything was explained but not the strange sadism!! It feels glossed over! Like there's a difference between indifference/rudeness over being CRUEL AND SADISTIC. WHY WAS HE SO CRUEL AND SADISTIC.
I am worried that Kim Dan is going to be soft on Jae-kyung after learning about his backstory which will suck so bad. I saw people people say his backstory is bad eehh.. It doesn't upset me or anything, but it does feel like a shitty martial arts movie backstory you know. 71 chapters in it's like "Ok." It also sucks that we got it from a character who isn't Jae-kyung telling the story to Kim Dan.
Originally I ended this hoping Jae-kyung and Kim Dan would not end up in a relationship, but after reading the end of CH75, there's just no chance they're not ending up in a relationship. I just... AHH. It's so bad. Realizing this in a dream? Seeing Kim Dan in a dream and going "maybe i'll make him more important than being a champion?" It just feels bad.
I don't know. I am going to reread all of Jinx at some point and figure out how I feel because genuinely like, the first half of 3/4s of the manwha have Jae-kyung being such a bastard that it's hard. Like, the gift throwing away makes sense to me in soem ways BUT THE SADISM? THE SADISM? PLEASE MINGWA???
Am I supposed to assume he's sadistic and that's he likes MMA? But the backstory doesn't show him being sadistic to other partners, just enjoying winning?? Are we going to get some heart to heart with hinm saying he liked hurting him and abusing Kim Dan because it made him feel like he was winning and that domineering behavior satisfied him? I don't think Jaekyung is capable of that sort of reflection, so I have no idea what's going to happen.
My guess. Kim Dan's grandma dies, Jaekyung is there to support him and possibly pay for funeral. Hope she doesn't die. Will probably piss me off if her death exists to further their relationship, but I can't see Kim Dan getting closer to Jae-kyung that easily.
I think Jinx can be fine. I think salvageable, but we cannot just gloss over the sadism. We're 70+ chapters in. It makes sense he's less sadistic now after everything that happened to him but jesus christ .
Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me | 08.23.2025 |
I've been reading Write Me Touch Me Read Me for a while now. It's very good and also insane because that's a wolf. That's a dog. To be honest, I have a habit of picking manwha and not really paying attention to much of anything haha. So, I picked this up thinking "ah, writing manga and the two characters are cute." I've been reading other hybrid manga where people turn into animals, so I was pretty surprised when I realized that he's just kind of a werewolf.
I guess that is the closest thing I can compare him too other than like a furry (and werewolves are technically furries). He doesn't really look like a wolf to me thank god. In his werewolf form, he's clearly still a guy though I do think some people who find furries creepy would not like this. I think it's really fun and kind of scary lol. A lot of the hybrid manga I read aren't really set up like this so it's interesting. New world.
I enjoy the premise a lot. The editor and the manwhaga. I've read this before, this general thing, and I always adore it probably because I'm a loser artist who doesn't leave my house. One of the characters is middle aged, in his 40s or 50s while the manwhaga is in his 20s I think. The age gap is handled really well. I think both act their age, and the back and forth between them is not exhausting or anything. CH31 updated today, and I think things are going to change a bit as something major in the manwha has occurred, but I am not sure.
I'm not sure how a romantic relationship will come out since a lot of it for one of them is currently built on lust and for the other it's built on love though it's a bit childish in nature. With the stalker arc finally over, it feels like the thing that brought them together while they were distant is finally gone, so surely they will choose to hangout together now, yes? Or perhaps they'll hangout for legal reasons.
I really love the expressions and art style. This probably end up being one of my favorites. I have faith in the writer.
Also I just realized I just wrote a fucking visual novel about a translator who translates yuri. I don't recall if I started that before and after reading this. I've read this plot before but this is the one on my mind the most recently.. Much to think about.
Love Plan | 03.13.2025 |
I really like this manwha and makes my suffering worth it. Thank you, checks author name Majeungji!!! It was a random surprise. I kind of go through these yandere reading lists expecting to feel nothing at the end of most stories. It is the equivalent of reading poor fanfiction as a teenager for no reason in particular.. It's just now I am an adult and I have to filter out omegaverse. ANYWAY.
Love Plan was very bizarre, but I loved it.. I love.. you Siyeon (the ML). You are so cute and so desperate and so so deranged. Siyeon never actually harms his love interest, Jaewoo. I can't go into specifics. He does manipulate him haha, but it's just kind of.. You must read it. Saeyoo has problems that I love. I wish this manga was longer. I'd love to explore the intricacies of these two further. Make that boy suffer!!! And then.. Grow from it. LOL. I think it'd be super fun with Siyeon and Jaewoo specifically because Siyeon's character flaws all feel very redeemable and manageable,and Jaewoo seems to have a good understanding of Siyeon.. We never get manga like this for 70+ chapters T_T.
Forbidden Fruit | 3.18.2025 |
This manwha's fucked up and don't read it if you don't like fucked up manwha. I sometimes go through the yandere lists on bato, and this one.. Kinda bad. I don't know. I was so curious about where the cult stuff would go (it went nowhere). We don't even get a clear idea of Noah's goals or beliefs by the end of the manwha which is so lame. Why have homosexual priests if you're not going to explore their religion? Why did those characters do any of that? Why did they sexually assault Agotho? What did that have to do with their ritual? Why were they willing to use him as sacrifice? I don't know. I know like you're probably thinking "what the hell why does this matter?" IT MATTERS TO TRUE RELIGIOUSLY TRAUMATIZED HOMOSEXUALS OKAY..
Agotho is boring- he's tortured just for being good. Noah is so evil without purpose that it's boring. The random priest who you forget about then who reappears at the end of the story is boring and also so stupid. DUMBASS! F!!!!!!! Though I like Noah's design he could be an RPG Maker villain lol. But yeah I have more reasons for not like this manwha but exploring will just piss me off lmao. It's deeper than what I've gone into but the amount of effort to explain why I dislike this yaoi will take more effort than the author put into the plot lmao.
Jinx | 03.18.2025 |
Jinx is like the most popular yaoi at the moment based on every single site I go on.. The manwha actually makes me mad haha. To be honest I have no idea why I continue reading Jinx. I don't like the ML. The protagonist is... not the kind of protagonist I enjoy. It's not even a dynamic I like. I just feel kind.. I guess it's like watching those drama shows where everyone hates each other, but you want to see how it ends. Like, I'm not really interested in the romance or the characters, but I am invested in how she's going to make the ML NOT AN ASSHOLE. This manwhaga(?) did it well in BJ Alex, but I felt Alex was.. not nearly as irredeemable as Jae-kyung. Though.. I do think there are some aspects about Jae-Kyung that are respectable but it's just like things I don't care about LMAO.
Like, Dan Kim, the protag.. being the way that he is actually might be reason I am invested. Season 2 is interesting to me specifically because of Dan Kim. I just wish that he.. wasn't.. so baby. LOL. I don't know. Jinx will never be one of my favorites, and there's a chance I'll hate it by the end but I'm too invested to stop- especially since the dynamic from the first season is FINALLY OVER. I just want to see Jae-kyung bark like a dog. I also.. like watching Jae-kyung interact with Kim Dan's grandmother. I like Kim's Dan's grandmother as a character in general. I feel like they are the most interesting dynamic in the series though we don't get too much of them.
UUGHHH. tired of these horse faced assholes.
Full Volume | 3.18.2025 |
Full Volume was fun and also distressing at times. Not like black flag or dark romance kind of distressing, but there's a specific plot point revolving one of the characters' that is explored and I found myself skimming through these chapters because they really stressed me out. But I think the topic is explored well- it's regarding sexual exploitation.
I really liked Full Volume. I actually started it earlier at some point, but lost interest only to pick it back up because I was so fucking bored. The story kinda goes about lacksadaisically, but this is something I enjoy. The first chapters just kinda annoyed me at first haha.One thing I like about the manwha is that the threats in the plots never really feel like true threats- you know the ML and protagonist will be fine despite the fact that they're both stressed the fuck out. For me, the true joy is seeing how they take care of each other and get through these situations together and how they can suddenly make a horrible memory very positive. In the words of Do-Won, I love premarital sex!
Also, the side stories are really fantastic. They're my favorite part of the webtoon. It touches on gang-stuff which is fun for me and I like the dynamic between the side couple and how they interact with the main couple too. It's so fucking funny actually I'm giggling thinking about it. Also, the sex scenes in the entire webtoojn (aside from a few which are meant to be uncomfortable) are really fun. The author's notes were fun too... Something something too many twinky bottoms we need beefy bottom.. I prefer when people in relationships in yaoi tend to be equal to each other in stature (I don't know why lmao) so I support you beefy yaoi fans!
Painter of the Night | 3.18.2025 |
I've been in the yuri and yaoi dungeons. I made this page then magically ran out of content lmao. But I can talk about things I'm currently reading even if I'm not in a hurry to finish them. We'll start with Painter of the Night since it's apparently a classic (among manwhas). I did not know this because despite this yaoi page existing, I don't know much about yaoi history/popularity haha. To be honest, I don't know how to feel about Painter of the Night. I've gotten to a point in the work where the love interest.. is.. doing something. LOL. I don't know. He's been a menace most of the manga, but he's very beautiful. Seung-Ho a very beautiful character I like to imagine he is a woman. It's fun to watch him crash out, and he looks beautiful while doing it.
It's just.. hmm.. he sucks really bad lol. There's usually some kind of redeeming quality I can think of for these "bad" type of love interests in these works, but his only one is that he is unintentionally funny when he is cruel. He acts so flippantly and arrogantly, and also, a lot of the other characters in the work are assholes, so when he's being an asshole to an asshole, it's great.
The protagonist, Na-Kyum, is fine. He is like.. the picture boy of the young yaoi boy who is manipulated into a relationship and then constantly tormented by various people for things out of his control. I wish he was a bit more interesting, but if anything it feels like the story wants to establish how uninteresting he is. And I enjoy a boring protagonist sometimes but it basically means every single thing he does is because of someone else's manipulation. It bores me a bit. It's why I put it on hold at Chapter 75 actually. I was just losing interest.. My only motivation to keep reading is to find out why Seung-Ho is so fucked and how he's going to enact punishment on those who have wronged him and Na-Kyum. Hopefully I come back with my thoughts on this.. eventually.
