=====================================
Since some manga/manhwa are not listed on MAL, I'll just go ahead and write my ratings and progress on them here:
1) Your Eternal Lies - Chapters read 65/80 - Rating: 10/10
Notes: [23 Jan 2025, ch. 65] This was my Titanic. It's pretty short and I read most of it in about 4 hours. It's one of the most interesting and exciting manhwas I have ever read, and one that'll probably stay with me for a while. In any case, there's really little to dislike here. Objectively speaking, this is the best manhwa I read in this OI/romance fantasy binge I did recently (and probably second best manhwa I've read in general, just behind No Home). That said, this probably isn't going to be my #1 favorite, but may be a #2 favorite.
2) The Daily Lives of Ghosts - Chapters read: 68/? - Rating: 9.5/10
Notes: [11 July 2023] Rated highly for the same reasons as the author's other work, "I don't want this kind of hero." Definitely the better manhwa overall even. Really wish a scanlation team would pick this one up as I would love to see where this goes. I am considering learning to translate Korean just to pick up this manhwa and translate it myself.
3) You at First Sight - Chapters read: 98/98 - Rating: 9/10
Notes: [11 July 2023, ch. 74] This is one of my favorite romance manhwas for some reason (it's almost definitely because I am a sucker for the supernatural genre). While the premise is pretty unique, albeit not exactly new, I think the strengths of this manhwa lie moreso in its writing and the sheer charm and relatability of its main character. It's a manhwa that I don't think will be received the same by most others, but its premise really strikes a chord with me. Besides all that, it's simply one of the best-written plain adult romance stories I've read in a long while. That said, I have no clue how to explain why I liked it so much, but the art, story, and characters were all very charming, leaving me with an entertaining experience.
[November 2025, completed] I don't really view this with the same amount of awe that I used to, but I still think it's pretty decent. Plot is neat and characters are fun (yechan is a mood), though I do find the ML's secret to be a bit strange when you think about it for longer than 15 seconds. Art style is still quite charming, albeit not as good as I remembered. In any case, I would still recommend it.
