[Archival Review from: Aug 11, 2025] I can’t tear myself away, but damn, this ride is brutal—but wildly compelling. Story: 7/10 This starts with Hyun-soo, a timid sports-betting pawn under a charismatic thug, who spirals into a twisted web of desire and dominance. The first half feels like a dark character study—revenge hungers simmer under every panel. Once Hyun starts reshaping himself into a ruthless counterpart, the momentum surges—but pacing in Season 2 feels a little rushed, especially the finale that wraps up too quickly. Art: 10/10 The art is a knockout—vivid, intense, and visually arresting across the board. The coloring and line work set it apart from most in the genre. What really pushes it to a 10 is how each girl’s proportions feel distinct—different body shapes, curves, and silhouettes—yet all are drawn to be sexy in their own way. It’s an attention to detail you rarely see pulled off this consistently. Characters: 7/10 Hyun’s arc from a timid underling to a confident powerhouse is compelling in the moment, but by the end, the weight of his transformation feels oddly hollow—like the journey didn’t pay off as much as it should have. Jenna HONG is the clear best girl. Her introduction is rough—being used as little more than eye candy for shady side plots—but her genuine kindness and quiet strength shine through. She’s a sweetheart who deserved far better from the story, and her gentle loyalty gives big Hinata Hyuuga energy. So-Da MIN starts strong too, with an assertive but likable presence, though the series leans on her a bit too hard by the final chapters, making her appearances lose impact. Mia WOO, on the other hand, drags the pacing down. A lot of page time gets burned on her subplot, and the eventual payoff is underwhelming at best. The rest of the female cast is fine individually, but there’s a consistent issue: they all lean more toward fulfilling a fantasy than feeling like real, fleshed-out people. Their loyalties, desires, and personalities shift too conveniently between Hyun and Gunner, which makes them less believable as characters and more like props in the power struggle. Gunner also is a fairly decent antagonist. I rate him where he is, consdiering that. Of course, he is not meant to be likeable. Overall: 8/10. It's story and characters can be shallow, but it is always entertaining and damn does it look amazing all the time!

[Archival Review from: Jun 9, 2025] I wish I could have finished this series, but for now I have to put it on hold because the direction the story is going is actually just really hard to read. Story: 8/10. Although I am not a fan of the direction of the story now, I can't deny that it is a good story. If you are coming here to read a story, you will most likely enjoy it, just be ready to read some cringe and intense scenes at points. I think the first half is really engaging and also fun to read, but after a certain event, it goes in such a different direction. And while I still see it's good qualities from a story stand point, from an enjoyment standpoint it really loses me. Art: 7/10. The art is not bad. It does it's job. I don't think it's great or anything to write home about, but yeah it's fine. Characters: 3/10. This is where I have a problem. I think making the story the way it is is fine. Not for me, but whatever. But the characters are really insufferable. Even the best girl (who I do love don't get me wrong) does horrible things. The manhwa is much more focused on making a story that engages you rather than characters you love. If it's not obvious by my tier list, even though there are so many characters, many of them are just average or downright horrible. Overall: 6/10. Read it for the story, not for the characters and you will probably get more merit out of it than me.

[Archival Review from: Jan 22, 2025] Her Secret Account is a nice and short 15 chapter story about Saerom Ham, who has a secret account where she shares lewd photos. One day she gets caught by Young-min Kwon, one of her bosses, who turns out to be one of her fans. Story: 8/10. The story is very wholesome. The dynamic between our leads is very cute to watch unfold. I think the only issue is that it sort of ends out of nowhere. It's rare for a flaw with manhwa's to be that they are too short, but I truly think that is it. But at the end of the day, its still avery good story. Art: 7/10. The art is good too. Honestly not a huge fan of how the character's faces are drawn though. But their bodies are great. Characters: 7/10. The issue of the length becomes more relevent here. I think having a few more chapters would have helped. Overall: 7.5/10. A very fun read. Its super short too. I'm suprised no one else has reveiwed it. For what it is, its a very good time!

[Archival Review from: Dec 6, 2024] Sex Study Group is another one of those manhwa that I think has a pretty strong start, but drops the ball later on. Story: 4/10. This ranking may seem a bit harsh, but I honestly found the story to be very lackluster. It's a very interesting premise. A guy joins a secret study group that is actually a front for all the members to have sex and report about it. I was hoping for more from the other male characters, a competitive aspect, but the series opts to become a harem, which for a plot set up like this is truly just a waste imo. The story takes a strange turn later too. If you look, there are two girls listed as 'the main characters'. They are seen as the pure ones, those who are not a part of sex study. When they actually start getting involved in sexual hygienics, I was hoping they would have a bigger role. But no, the story opts to try to balance out the cast with two new players and it really does a horrible job. And without spoiling it, I'm not a big fan of endings like these. Art: 9/10. The art is amazing. Can't deny that. Love the color work on the art, makes it really pop. I do wish their was slightly more variety on each girl's proportions. Characters: 7/10. They are all pretty good. Again, I think the second half really fails the two main characters, that's my only gripe. Both Eun-Jang and Da-Eun (especially) are so interesting. But, we don't get enough time and rather focus on the other members who already had their chance at the start. Overall: 6.5/10. Good art and pretty good characters. It's far from being my favorite, but I made it to the end and did enjoy myself for the most part

[Archival Review from: Oct 22, 2024] The Unwanted Roommate is about Sean Kim who lets his friend's younger sister, Judy Hahm stay at his place. Story: 6/10. The story is fine enough. Honestly it makes some strange choices in the middle chunk, but the ending is very nice. Although I do wish it could expand off of the ending more. Art: 5/10. Serviceable. I would be lying if I said it was very good, but it gets the job done I guess. It's very average overall. Characters: 7/10. Judy is a great character and certainly best girl. She gets some great development and the main character is alright, with everything considered. Maddie is just tossed aside after the weird turn in the story near the end. That's the only aspect that really brings it down. Maddie's existance sort of feels pointless by the end. Overall: 6/10. It's a good enough of a read and it's very short, so you won't lose much.
