[Webnovel] Bark!? (汪汪汪!?)

汪汪汪!? | Bark!?

Author: 吕天逸 | Liu Tianyi

Raws: http://www.jjwxc.net/onebook.php?novelid=2761501

Translation: https://ayyshadowtrans.wordpress.com/novels/short-novels/bark/

Novel Updates: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/bark/

Chapters: 15

From Novel Updates:

When Su Cheng woke up, he found that he had become the male god’s pet toy poodle…

 

His original body was slumped over the computer desk, in deep sleep.

 

Su Cheng realized that before his original body died from starvation, he needs to rescue himself…

 

An even more miserable matter is, the male god wants to neuter Su Cheng’s dog body…

I did not realize this to be another Liu Tianyi series! The same author of Evil Cult Undercover Gets Exposed Every day which I’ve read not too long ago and also I enjoyed a lot. Like Evil Cult, Bark!? is just silly circumstances with equally silly characters. This is such a relaxing read while taking a break from an emotionally exhausting western novel hehe.

[Webnovel] Bringing the Nation’s Husband Home (国民老公带回家)

国民老公带回家 | Bringing the Nation’s Husband Home

Author: 叶非夜 | Ye Fei Ye

Site: https://www.webnovel.com/book/8360425206000005/Bringing-the-Nation’s-Husband-Home

Novel Updates: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/bringing-the-nations-husband-home/

Chapters: 973

From Novel Updates:

Qiao Anhao and Lu Jinnian had secretly longed for each other for thirteen years, and now that there’s a possibility for them to be together, even though the circumstances may be unconventional, neither one can refuse their inner desires any longer.

 

Hurled into a false marriage, Qiao Anhao treads carefully towards the cold and reclusive Lu Jinnian, but after years of near-missed opportunities and deep misunderstandings, how could their last shot at love possibly run smooth?

 

“Nation Husband” is a Korean term awarded to a man who is perfect in the eyes of the public – an ideal husband.

Wow, this novel is just frustrating to the highest point.

I’ve read until the 100th chapter and I think I’m done with this series. I’m so done. At least for now. Before you get your pitchforks ready, hear me out.

[Manga] Given 1 (ギヴン 1)

ギヴン(1) | Given (1)

Mangaka: Kizu Natsuki (キヅナツキ)

Status: Ongoing

Volumes: 5 (Current)

Summary:

That day, during lunch, on that abandoned staircase, their lives changed.

Uenoyama fixes Mafuyu’s guitar on a whim. A whim that results in a series of events that introduces the latter to his world.

In turn, Uenoyama discovers Mafuyu’s past, pulling him towards a different kind of music buried deep within his classmate.


The anime adaptation of Given will be released next month so I’ve decided I might as well read all the volumes available and write my thoughts about them! I am so glad that this will have an anime release and I’m hoping that more people will watch it because this is such a heartrending story. Besides, I so want to hear Mafuyu sing!

Ehem. I’m getting ahead of myself.

For this post, I’ll be talking about the first volume. I’ve read this when it first came out. (Then I stopped reading tankoubons and just relied on spoilers haha.)
