Genboxxy created a topic of Gomidame no Garnet

- because what even were those conflicts and resolutions? it felt so sudden and unsatisfying, it even seemed like it didn't matter considering everything was resolved by the gramps in the background; also the angst part about the uke not wanting to drink the seme's blood did not make much sense coz it happened AFTER seme cried about the thought of him not being needed anymore.

Honestly felt like author just liked creating a BL about a vampire x hitman and enjoyed it too much then suddenly remembered that they have to give it some drama and plot so they just threw those things together lol, they could've just went full throttle with the fluff tho since it worked great, but then again it might've been the editor's choice too in order to serialize the story more, which makes sense now that there's apparently a second volume to this - I just hope that one has a better conflict/resolution arc.

This is why I'm never ever having kids, dafuq with having the audacity to bring a kid into this world when you can't even sustain it for the rest of your life? that's your entire responsibility, ya wanted it and now you force it to fend for itself when it never asked to be here in the first place lol. Rant aside, I do understand that for a parent......
Genboxxy created a topic of summer season

Seme is too persistent and never gives up on uke, acted like a creep around him (w/c some readers might look past due to his face card) and was not reflective of his actions and implications to the other boy's life, and then he kinda blackmails him to answer his feelings or lose him as a friend. Uke is more realistic in terms of his reflection and realization (considering he was straight) but too fickle and sometimes oblivious, it's an odd blend of being strong headed and a pushover which does not work. Meh for me, not much chemistry for me to continue reading the sides. The novel might be better and give more insight to the development of their relationship tho.

Genboxxy created a topic of Chirijiri Yuku no

It's so easy to pull a plot armor in order to have the main couple go all the way and they can defo draw smoking smut if they want to as well, BUT the author was really consistent with the lore and personality of the character that they made their physical contact a process, one that's still ongoing until the very end since the uke's constitution is really a unique one, there was no sudden exception, everything that they have, they worked for together - from gaining friends, to getting him used to arousal, they're so likeable.

I also like that though the side couple were given spotlight they never overshadowed the main one and was just on the sidelines all throughout, there's so much potential for them and I like their pairing as well. I do hope the author continues with a sequel for them (that way we also get a glimpse of the main couple in this story as a side couple instead hehe)

nah coz if ur opponent's on the same level of pettiness, then they can also hit you with "enjoy those saggy tits in a few years" or "I feel so sorry for your back" or something like that, and then the argument just gets rebooted to a different topic LOL
Genboxxy answered question about question
you're setting the wrong terms dude-- lots can do that for free already, and you can also get top tier acting classes for the sake of pretending like a deranged fanatic for 10m LMAO. What you should ask is if they would take 10m and live out the life of the uke in these works (all 3) coz without plot armor all of these stories are just different ......

but I also can't help seeing the ML looking like the love-child of his aunt and that other Alpha friend in the sequel story LMAO, specially that last panel of him panting, yeah for sure that boy's the seme in this one (I know, I know the characters are underage now but it's fiction and we'd most likely see them grow eventually, plus it's Fargo cmon it'll be an even bigger plot twist if this actually continue to be shounen ai to the very end, IF it continues to have a regular run and not a short one like the sequel)

On another note, what was the author cooking by dragging back the maternal grandma to this plot? That character was and is a POS, her reconciliation attempt is not enough for the way she treated and left the MC's mom in the main story, and now she's getting chummy with the husband and son? should've ended her participation in the main story as is.

Also to the uploader who bulk released the chapters in one day, thank you so much for giving sustenance to plebs like me hahah.

Genboxxy created a topic of Work Love Balance

check out author's other work-- Kikonsha Desu Kedo, Nani ka? the uke is beefy and has the same vibe as the 2nd ML here, even has the same character design, except his hair is darker and he has no mole, plus artstyle is a bit different since it's one of the author's earlier works. It's just a bit awkward and silly for me to see the younger version of his father as having a strong resemblance to the Main ML here LMAO.

It's a good read, I was just ticked off in the earlier volume with the constant sexual harassment and then justifying it as okay coz the victim doesn't realize it anyway like wtf? it's a good thing it was acknowledged, though there wasn't really much reflection on it and the plot just made it okay again by having the top confirm that he wasn't bothered by it in the end (lol how convenient). Still a good read though, I like that they match each other's freak and I also like how the author made the ex-wife an actual character and not just a mob or caricature of an "evil" woman in yaoi, I really like how supportive they are of each other even if their marriage did not work.

Also this work really prepped me for that plot twist on the author's other work-- Work Love Balance coz the second ML there is like an updated version of the uke here, from the character design to the temperament and playboy lifestyle, it made me assume that he's really gunning for the seme in that story and he'll probably be a bott that looks like a top, same as this one, which is what's revealed on the latest chapter! (except the position part, he's still implied as a top based on his prev partners)

Genboxxy answered question about question
It's misogyny and internal jealousy. I said what I said LOL. Femme boys in BLs are are just a spit away from actual girls in straight works, and lots of readers don't like that coz some (not all) want to fantasize themselves as the girl in the story, and if it's not them, it better be just another dude instead- having a femme bott shatters that ill......
Genboxxy created a topic of Surge Looking For You

Really tried to like it coz the sides are enticing based on the socmed posts on my feed, but the main story is whacked and forgettable, lots of running away with lukewarm reasoning, even when the seme literally assures uke of his feelings and desires, the mf uke still runs away like crap; it's just chasing arcs over and over but with not enough heavy reason to make it satisfying; sure at the beginning it makes sense when the seme said there can never be more between them, but even that was suddenly overturned and he became whipped almost overnight + the uke even says that he was also using the seme himself so like the chasing arc just felt meh overall, and it's really bad that the author did it multiple times for almost always the same reasons lol. Not much development for either leads, but someone out there might still enjoy it, just not me.

Genboxxy created a topic of Dead or alive

It makes it more immersive and fun to see the bts of how they came up with the story, also the chibi versions of the characters are cute too + the artstyle's so scruffy but animated that I'm loving it altogether.

This was a really fun and fulfilling read, there was an action-packed plot that was pulled with enough chapters; very likeable characters, the villain's motive was kinda meh but I noticed a lot of villain's motives even in classic westerns are actually meh (it's either revenge for their dead wife or to settle some yo momma insult between drunkards) so this fits in quite well with that vibe. The pair's chemistry is off the charts too, I like how it transitioned throughout the plot, or maybe it's just coz I like daddy x twink trope myself? ehe. Hoping the author will do a sequel, but the ending's pretty great as is too.

Also for anyone craving another western BL, I'm here to tell you there's another good one out there I just can't for the life of me remember the title. The top's a blonde cowboy and the bottom's a native indian, there was a cringe panel there were the bottom called the top his "golden wolf" or lion or something hahahahah, but aside from that it's another solid read that's set in the old west. If any of ya'll know it, hit it up on this topic.

Genboxxy created a topic of Wet dessert

I couldn't understand much about the fuzz on him being an illegitimate child coz my guy looks like the male version of the mother just paler lol, but it's implied that it's actually the father who cheated and had him with another woman? but then the father also claims that he loves his wife? it doesn't make sense.

it's either they did surrogacy coz the mom's one of those weak-ass mothers that die at the start of the story, OR the uke was adopted from some mysterious relative that they have to keep as a secret for the ~plot

Genboxxy created a topic of Daisy Jealousy

it's a different take for a BL, but that girl was really nice; her scenes were very brief but she came off as considerate and not pushy, she also had the integrity to be straightforward and ask directly what her chances are with the seme when they already spent a good amount of time with each other, and she still gracefully accepted it when she ultimately got turned down. If only the seme was not obsessed with the uke (and if he's at least bi), it's so easy to fall in love with her instead.

Uke in this work is meh, another one of those that some readers praise for being complex and relatable when all they are is just relatable to ya'll toxic ass-- if you find this trait realistic please do some introspection on yourself, this is just bleak and toxic af. Yes, he acknowledges his insecurity and he's reflective but he can't even communicate it properly and then just lashes out on the seme; it's not like it's the guy's fault that people simply like his work better wtf? this trait might work for a teenager, but for a grown ass adult? nah. Also he knows that the guy's in love with him and just decided to go with his advances on a whim even when he's not even sure of his feelings yet, and then had the audacity to say he hates him and runs away lol. I'll give a leeway that maybe it didn't work for me coz the translation's not the best, but out of all this author's works, this is surely one of the weakest by far.

Genboxxy created a topic of Steel Under Silk

THIS right here is what makes him a grapist-- their previous "interaction" had some level of consent, even if the uke didn't like it at first, he wanted to do it to further his cause nonetheless. In this recent one, both of them are out of their minds and completely spiteful of each other, the seme even did it as a power move (which is the usual motive for real life SA cases) and the uke completely and openly expressed his disdain for it too. It's a fine line but I like how the author executed the difference/shift between the two scenarios this season. I just hope that the author toned down the smut for this scene instead because it can come off as romanticization to some (which I do see).

This also amplifies my resolve to have the plot route continue where the uke kills himself to make the seme suffer instead of offing the seme himself. The fact alone that he's allowing him to be killed by the uke implies he doesn't value his life just as much anymore, killing him would really be pointless, but him having to suffer a life without the uke whom he himself declared that he would not let go-- that's sure to have a great impact on his overall stability.

Genboxxy created a topic of Dear Benjamin 1.5

for finally giving closure to this work. I really appreciate that the author allowed for it to continue even with a new artist and I honestly wouldn't have minded it if it's only the artstyle that changed (I've read works before where the artists shifted midway and it's still a-ok) however this one was just so off? Not including the art style, the pairing dynamic/chemistry is also off, the character's personality is there but it's like a lukerwarm version of the original, and even the plot pacing and tone of the dialogue/narration is so different as well, I agree with one commenter who said this is just like reading a fanfiction lol. I remember gobbling this up the first time I read it which is why I was broken hearted when I thought it will never be finished, but now that they actually did it, I lowkey wished they didn't instead. It was kinda hard to be invested into it, or maybe my preferences just changed since then, who knows?

Genboxxy created a topic of The Alpha's Bride

I really tried to keep reading this coz the artstyle's so pretty but it's too bland- all the characters are bland and one-dimensional, plot is cliche which isn't necessarily bad (cliches could work if executed properly, but this one ain't it)-- sudden conflict, sudden resolution, sudden tension with the usual dash of assumptions and miscommunications. It's the usual problematic trope you'll find in the 90's-early 2000s yaois & shoujos, w/c is surprising since this was released in 2019 lol.
