dw_maintenanceDW is seeing some issues due to today's Amazon outage. For right now it looks like the site is loading, but it may be slow. Some of our processes like notifications and journal search don't appear to be running and can't be started due to rate limiting or capacity issues. DW could go down later if Amazon isn't able to improve things soon, but our services should return to normal when Amazon has cleared up the outage.
Edit: all services are running as of 16:12 CDT, but there is definitely still a backlog of notifications to get through.
Edit 2: and at 18:20 CDT everything's been running normally for about the last hour.

Huimin Seo happened to read a tragic BL novel where the two main characters had both his name and even his best friend’s name, Iheon Cha. But rather than remaining as an incredible coincidence, this book becomes a new reality for Huimin. Before he knows it, he is transmigrated right into a major scene in the novel where Huimin Seo, a rare dominant omega, gets bought off in an auction by Iheon Cha, a powerful dominant alpha. Aware of the complications in this love-hate relationship that he cannot escape from, Huimin must tread carefully to turn things around entirely.
My Rate: 8 (www.lezhinus.com/en/comic/cozy_obsession)
I initially hesitated to pick up this manhwa, as the transmigration into a novel trope isn't usually my favorite. I always find myself questioning how a genuinely happy ending can be achieved for everyone involved. However, the author here presents a remarkably clever and original plot twist—one I won't spoil, but trust me, it elevates the story above the typical fare. The second major strength of the series is its successful blend of comedy and drama. This is brilliantly highlighted by the artist's use of chibi style to punctuate the comedic moments. While some readers might find this irritating, I personally enjoyed it. As someone who prefers comedy to heavy drama, I found it a refreshing, genuinely funny element that enhanced the experience. The plot's darker undertones are actually quite downplayed, and the heavy drama barely features in the story. If you're looking for a lighthearted and creative take on the transmigration genre, this one is a great choice!
