Why do so many manhwa have no page on MAL? More people should be able to see this.

So... Someone care to explain me the first one?

That would be somewhat of a spoiler... XD
But simply spoken, the title is "Circle of Life".

If for some reason, we are able to reach the end of an infinite cycle, it'll only return to its very beginning. Something may be altered, but never permanently changed.
Something you could pay attention to: the story begins with a caveman holding a bone and ends with a caveman holding a bone. Why would that be?

Circle of Life 6/10 - Too much ramblings going on and seems like an essay by the author who just had an epiphany on the esoteric beginnings of the universe---but it was well presented. The issue I have was... what was the point of the idea itself... that humans and keeps evolving and evolving and goes back to the beginning? It could've been something more, but it ended up being just a hypothesis that the author have. The end was just a ... uh OK thing.
Secret Desire Creator - 4/10 I really enjoyed the presentation of the first chapter, could've been cool and exciting but ended up winding as the usual testament about "what will people do for the sake of money" story that's been done many times. 2rd and 3rd chapter could've just been fit into one imo if they're going for a statement. The characters were not likeable at all and that kind of behavior is already common in our current society. I didn't felt like the dystopia version is any worse, just that such things happens in a different time and space. Not too much impressed. Ending made me meh.
Loop 8/10 - Saw an article last year about a guy who wrote a script who did everything for him, funny stuff that this story uses that very same idea. It kinda went nowhere in the beginning but I found ending was funny and left me imagining when will his coworkers find out. Well executed.

Conclusion: 1 chapter story > multi-chapters story

OOOH I agree with that opinion on the Secret Desire Creator chapter! It did feel like it was lacking at the end!!! At the start there were some interesting hints at how people were leading their lives and it was a pity the story didn't go that way!

Loop just came and saved this from the fiasco that was SDC, man no idea why that one was so long too.

Justicia 10/10 It was fucking good, sent chills down my spine. You know the ending's probably a twist like this but you just can't help but feel that the man was a hero. Here we can see it as a tragedy, but it can also be seen as a sacrifice that has to exist in order to maintain a perfect utopia. Reminds me a lot of Doctor Who's worlds that are morally grey, I love these. Makes you really question the whole deal of what makes a dystopia scary, is it the technology? or is it a dystopia under the guise of peace that is pretending to be a utopia? A setting where the status quo isn't questioned, thus cannot be overthrown? Some true Brave New World shit, reminds me of the Giver too... Hands down the best story as of now. I want more now...

Edit: If I can give a minus point, that would be the font at the beginning of the chapter being hard to read...

I wonder if it's as good as the book
