*pic taken from actual novel cover, no audio drama yet lol ok you know how passion vol 4 is half drama and half action, then vol 5 is like full drama, only for vol 6 to suddenly be crammed full of action?

it's the same way with DS. vol 4 is mainly honeymoon + drama, then suddenly in vol 5 you got all the betrayal + horror action scenes

I caved in and actually started reading monochrome rumor novel on ridi. Considering my short attention span, we'll see how this goes 😋 Mainly i just want to know who sihyeon ends up with in the end/who is the ML, but it seems it's still a long way to go since I start at ch43.

...why ch43, you asked? Why not, lmao 😋

Anyway this ch the group is shooting an MV, and the director is a fan of sihyeon's face...

Been reading webnovel of Return of the Broken Constellation since I'm too impatient to wait for the webtoon lol

What draws me the most from this kind of novels is the relationship between MC and the people closest to him ❤️ In Return of the Broken Constellation, I love LOVE LOVE how despite never explicitly stating he missed his family, Lee Changseon (the MC) does everything he could to be a better son to his mom T__T

Then it turns out his big bro and sis actually cared about him lots--

Frozen Player Returns getting licensed in English kinda makes me want to continue reading the novel again, so here's some novel spoilers Around ch90-95, kal signer got order to capture seo junho alive. Needless to say, he failed and got killed instead.

What was interesting is he is a bow user, and from the description he had Fate's Gilgamesh's ability: shooting like 100 bows at once lol
