Hey Everyone!
So I just finished reading the masterpiece that was “Getting to Know Grace”. It really was one of those series that’s just chef’s kiss. Thanks to everyone who recommended it on this forum. I’ve read Moonlight Garden a few years ago and found Getting to Know Grace to be significantly better - both in terms of character/relationship progression, dialogue and world building (but not in terms of romantic/sexy scenes of course ;) ). I did still enjoy MG a lot.
I tried to read some of the other recs that went along with Getting to Know Grace, like Ghost of Greywoods, Goodbye My Rose Garden, etc. and honestly they all paled in comparison and seemed almost comical in how one-dimensional the plot/characters were. Some of the dialogues were so bad… I even tried Opium, which seemed universally loved, but didn’t find either of the protagonists compelling (or even likable), or the character motivations involving much depth.
All that being said, I was wondering if any of you have other recs that involve well parsed out storylines, characters and/or relationship dynamics similar to those in Getting to Know Grace? Whether it’s manhwa or manga. I don’t particularly care what the setting is either, although admittedly the historical aspect did add to its charm.
And of course I’m aware a lot of this is personal preference! Thanks in advance!
hmm maybe on a leash but its ongoing so i'd recommend it only based on what i hv read (ch 55 iirc)
i seconded her tale of shim chong but it was too dense (too much text) too my liking iirc, at least compared to other yuri
i know u asked manga/manhwa, but maybe u'll enjoy us comics on a sunbeam, it is one of my fav gl story ever (getting to know grace too).
all these titles hv decent world building and interesting stories
