Caesar is insane. I don't know what to say because I keep thinking of things for my brain to go back to "Caesar is insane." I can't really fault the manhwa for its flaws because it's a bit difficult to make sense of certain things in Roses and Champagne due to the insanity of Caesar and Leewon's understanding of it over the course of the novel. He grows a general fondness toward Caesar which includes the good parts, the bad parts, and the absolute balls-to-the-wall batshit stuff.<br /> <br /> I wish I had read the light novel first so I could evaluate it without comparing... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-23 yaoi-23 Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000 Today I had an awful migraine. I ended up lying in the dark, extremely bored. I remembered a few weeks back I bought Roses and Champagne and still needed to finish it. I was able to select a font with defined serifs and tall line heights. My headache cooled off as I listened to rain sounds and read books.<br /> <br /> This is (sort of) the first light novel I've ever read. I do technically own some but never got around to reading them (Haruhi... etc.). Roses and Champagne is missing from my favorite yaoi list simply because it pisses me the fuck off—the manga, anyway. Reading the comments revealed to me... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-22 yaoi-22 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 Write Me, Touch Me, Read Me was bad. I don't know. I want it to be good. I want it to be good really badly. I like the furry/hybrid stuff a little bit (sexually), but its commentary on the fetishization of minorities is half-baked and extremely bad. I see this happen in yaoi, but it's so much worse here because it's drawn out over the entire manhwa and then it just isn't really PROPERLY resolved. Like, it's just "let's talk about it." BITCH, YOU SHOULD'VE TALKED ABOUT IT 20 CHAPTERS AGO.<br /> <br /> Really, this manhwa isn't a slow burn; it's a "these clowns are bad at communicating over such complex... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-21 yaoi-21 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 I finally finished What a Catch! It was extremely silly. Recently, I've been writing very miserable yuri to the point where I couldn't recall how I was writing less miserable yuri before.<br /> <br /> Then I remembered... Yaoi. I got really stressed and read less yaoi because of stress, but I always like it. It makes me a dumb lovesick puppy, and because a lot of what I read is porn, it does it in amazing ways. Every time I read yaoi again, I feel like this is what it's all about!<br /> <br /> I found the couple here really cute and silly. I was admittedly surprised by the lack of threesome/toy action by the end.... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-20 yaoi-20 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 I read Anti PT and it was a delight. I was really struggling to get into yaoi again due to my migraines and the downfall of my beloved site, though I'm finally getting into the swing of things again. I read some random JP anthology manga, but none I really had thoughts on. This was the first "longer" thing I read in a bit.<br /> <br /> It was very cute. Cuter than I anticipated. I thought what it had to say about cheating and wanting to be desired was new. I was really irritated by the actions of Pa-Ram Lee (the protagonist), but while I don't think he is blameless, I can certainly understand him as a... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-19 yaoi-19 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 More thoughts. I haven't been finishing a lot of yaoi quickly like I used to, but I am reading random things. I'm slowly getting through Love for Sale and, of course, reading some of my ongoing things (though some are on hold). <br /> <br /> What a Catch! has been interesting. I've had random moments where I thought I'd dislike it because I don't trust the author LOL, but she always catches me off guard and charms me. I think I began to doubt her because I wasn't confident in Myeong-Tae Yun and Shin-Ju Kang as characters. I mean, I like Shin-Ju as an insane pervert, but as I read, I had this realization... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-18 yaoi-18 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 This is becoming more of a liveblogging thing, whoops, but it's fun! Anyway, the recent chapters of this have been interesting to me. I like the introduction of the brother character. I was getting really worn out on crime stuff in the last chapter, though, and while I love gangsters, I look forward to him becoming more normal, you know?<br /> <br /> I have faith in the mangaka, though. I doubt he will be committing (more) crimes. I hope he gets yaoi'd. He's very moe to me in behavior. I want him to have a side story. We've been so zoomed in on the main two characters, though the ML does have a best... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-17 yaoi-17 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 I found this manhwa 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 even reread it, and my main memory is Kang Shinjoo.<br /> <br /> There are 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 stuff he does that is insane, by the way. People who dislike this manhwa often find themselves uncomfortable with the treatment of the protagonist and the misunderstandings,... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-16 yaoi-16 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 Okay. So, this manhwa is insane to me. I need it to be understood that I don't really read hentai. Smut manhwa and hentai manhwa 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 everything.<br /> <br /> I'm vaguely aware that hentai often has weird plot points, but a lot of the time they just sort of act as vehicles for sex to happen, which is why I find all of it boring. Even if I read a hentai manga/manhwa with a strange plot, I sort of tune it out because... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-15 yaoi-15 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 This was fine. It's one of those "rich criminal abuses poor guy in debt" stories. I don't think it's as uninteresting as a lot of other yaoi with similar plots, but honestly... Ehh..<br /> <br /> I was invested, and then it ended.<br /> <br /> Okay, one notable thing about this manhwa 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; however, people who read the light novel said that thing is terrifying, so I might read it.<br /> <br /> Because the story wants to tell an abuse story so badly, it's so close, but the ending... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-14 yaoi-14 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 This thing is so booring and sooo poorly written. It 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."<br /> <br /> It's one of those manhwa 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 don't feel like the relationship is really built. The actual plot thing where he's a wolf doesn't really feel like anything.<br /> <br /> I may pick it back up... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-13 yaoi-13 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 ONE OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!!!!<br /> <br /> I love this manhwa. 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 in the 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 guy's phone over anything else. The love interest is surprised imagining this... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-12 yaoi-12 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 I really like Toys of Trade. I usually put off reading historical fiction 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 manhwa I've enjoyed immensely. I'll 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."<br /> <br /> Anyway, the dynamic between... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-11 yaoi-11 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 Obviously I've talked about Jinx before, but a lot of ground has been made in the manhwa, 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 manhwaga as BJ Alex, and BJ Alex is a classic. It's a very annoying manhwa 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.<br /> <br /> 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... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-10 yaoi-10 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 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 manhwa 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.<br /> <br /> I guess that is the closest thing I can compare him to other than, like, a furry (and werewolves are technically furries). He doesn't... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-7 yaoi-7 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 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.<br /> <br /> 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... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-6 yaoi-6 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 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.... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-5 yaoi-5 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 Jinx is like the most popular yaoi at the moment based on every single site I go on. The manhwa 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 of... 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 manhwaga did it well in BJ... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-4 yaoi-4 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 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 around 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.<br /> <br /> 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 lackadaisically, but this is something I enjoy. The first... https://ophanimkei.com/media/confessions/logs#review-2 yaoi-2 Mon, 19 Oct 2026 23:46:09 +0000 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 manhwas). 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...
