* DISCLAIMER: while talking about the original fable by Lucius Apuleius, I've been referring to the story as greek mythology, despite the fact that the author was a latin author, operating at the time of the Roman Empire.

He, however, used the greek names and the greek lore himself, so don't come for my jugular please *

You've been asking (and by you, I mean me myself and I) and I delivered.

It was time for a catch up on the spin off the title that made us re evaluate all our life choices in one go, and with only 53 chapters, one could only wish we had gotten more.

One betrayal after the other, we follow the story of Yuta and Seung-hyun and how they got the happy ending they deserved.

By comparing this spin off to its legendary main counterpart, one question still...

Today's episode needs no introduction whatsoever.

If you're here, it almost certainly means that you already know the plot the tea and the whatnots.

When it first came out, "Painter of the Night" by Byeonduck was nothing short than a revolutionary tale in the midst of what was fast becoming the stagnant universe of BL titles.

Adored by millions worldwide, it is a story close to the hearts of many, even more so now, two years after the epilogue we hoped was never gonna get published came...

I do apologise if you were expecting one of the usual shenanigans with a lot of unnecessary opinions about one of your favourite BL titles and my shameless fawning over 2D men.

It will unfortunately have to wait for next week.

However, I know we are a bunch of intellectuals here, always scavenging for what's new in that extensive and dark universe that the BL world is.

And I know for a fact, that we all have heard that "Painter of the Night" is getting a series...

History nerds alert!!!

Brothers Without a Tomorrow is (are? how many brothers are there?) back on track with yet another historical fantasy themed gem which surely has all the cards to become a fans' favourite.

I mean, they never miss the mark, but still-

History, fantasy, romance, a spouse sent as a hostage to seal an alliance between kingdoms, a king who falls in love at first sight, intrigues, mysteries, concubines with a thirst of revenge...if you're not at least a bit intrigued, please go back...

This is one of those episodes that definitely need no introduction.

I do like to describe myself as a person who follows their heart, but in this day and age (and foremost, in this economy), sometimes all we need to do, it's to give the people what they ask.

Today is one of those days where no introduction is needed, and adrenaline is running high as if reading BLs were an olympic sport.

It all started in 2021 when "Pearl Boy" decided to present itself on our doorstep and ruin what was left of our sanity.

Five years later, we're still here, and still can't get enough of that f*ck3d up place that is the Pearlverse created by Inking.

We don't need no niceties today as this title never needed an introduction since the day it was first created.

Pearl Boy by Inking, a title that speaks for itself and kept us on the edge of our seats until Pilwon's last dying breath.

As a new batch of side stories fast approaches, with new characters and new stories that surely will be up to par with the original stories, one can't help but wonder...what made it possible to get there?

After all these years of navigating that often morbid yet fantastic universe that is the one populated by BL stories, did we need yet another plot featuring two childhood friends; one of them being insanely rich and handsome, the other one being scandalously poor, yet a sight for sore eyes himself, finding each other again under unfortunate circumstances, and with one of them affected by a severe (or maybe not so severe?) case of memory loss?
