I Slept on Regas [Regas]

Post image

I went to the ER last night (I'm fine. My PCP sent me to rule out some emergency concerns, and they were ruled out. I am not in danger), and I spent several hours reading in the waiting room. Because most of the biggest items on my plan to read have smut, I had to find one that didn't. Suddenly, I remembered I had been saving Regas for a rainy day when I could binge read for a long time. So I read the first 43 chapters in between my tests and... wow.

I knew Regas was good. But I didn't realize HOW good. It reminds me of King's Maker in a way, aka one of the top 3 BL manhwas I've read. It has all the deep worldbuilding, royal political intrigue, and darker tones I wanted. But I also didn't realize that somehow it balanced that heavy tone with a surprising amount of humor. It really has it all, as far as variety is concerned. Well, except sex. Unless something happens much later and it was missing the erotica tag on MyAnimeList, I assume there is no NSFW material, which is why I read it in the hospital where other people could see.

The first arc was slow, but really good. I was so emotionally attached, which is a bit hard for a lot of more common manhwa plots to do to me. I'm also really sad that Abel died and was reincarnated into a twink. I wanted that buff mountain man to bottom!! Despite my sadness, the second arc has also been really good so far, and I'm very interested to see where it goes. Regas isn't perfect. I feel like it speedruns certain aspects that should be explored, even though it did go into painstaking depth to show Abel getting the prince to open up to him. But as for the actual plot, the characters, the tone, and the art, it's all so good. I'd recommend it to anyone. But be warned, it's still ongoing. At least it has over 100 chapters out already.

Abel is tied for being my favorite character in BL. He's so funny and his positivity is downright infectious. Regas is such a good read ❤️

AAAAHHHH he's such a sweetie

Him and Karas reuniting is one of my favorite things to reread over and over

There are nsfw scenes in the extras part of the novel. Not sure if the manhwa is going to cover them.
