Major spoilers! read at your own risk. but in a short summary, it wasn't very good. ending is super rushed, characters aren't well written and the plot is weak.
















the concept was interesting and the art is nice but man was the pacing bad and the writing was just over all weak. The main characters start off totally hating each other and just using each other for their own ends but after one aggressively okay date suddenly they're falling madly in love to the point of self sacrifice? Sure you could say that the blond ML was under a charm but they never ended up doing anything with it. was the charm cured? Did it really influence his feelings? who knows, we don't because it was never really resolved. Plus the other ML was supposed to have debilitating trust issues, and yet he was ready to get thrown off a building for a guy he thought of as just his F-buddy last week? Major plot points are revealed with little to no foreshadowing or build-up and with minimal reaction from the characters. (I.E. the reveal of a lost sibling). nothing is given weight or time to breath, we just kinda keep moving along to the next plot point. There is all this plot about the ML's past and the side characters tragic origins but we barely get to see any of it. The romance ends up feeling really unrewarding because it feels like it just kind of happened because of the plot rather than because it developed naturally and it felt forced a lot of the time. So when there's this climactic scene at the end it just feels totally unearned, both in the angst and in the happy ending. You didn't make me care enough about the characters to care if they were in pain or if they won the conflict. I can't care about the angst if I don't care about the characters, I can't care about their victory if I wasn't invested in their potential downfall.

    Thanks for this. I was considering reading this story next since I’m going through all my old bookmarks and I think I’ll just skip it. You did me a service!

I'm trying to find a yaoi that I read a really long time ago and I can't seem to remember the name of it. It was about a guy who makes a wish on the moon and gets transported to a world full of people who can transform into different types of cats. They cat people present him to their leader, who is a tiger, as his new bride. The main character doesn't really like that idea and is scared of the tiger so he attempts to escape only to need to be rescued. I really can't remember the name, please help!

I'm trying to find a manga I read a really long time ago and I can't seem to remember the name. It's a historical adventure shoujo, with western style castles and knights. The main character is a girl that is incredibly skilled in swordsmanship and is often mistaken for a guy. Her best friend was taken away when he was a child to be the king and she trying to find him years later, but when she gets to the castle she finds out that the king that's currently ruling is just a fake they put in his place since he's gone missing. So her and the fake king team up to try and find him. I think it was called crimson throne or something like that but I don't remember.
