Rereading this because the HOTTEST ALPHA BEATS UP HIS OMEGA'S ABUSERS JUST TO BEAT HIS COCK INTO HIS OMEGA, I love the tender, yet ready to shed blood for love - alphas so fucking much and this story hits the spot
Criminal how it ended so abruptly... It's painfully short
If you like December, you should love "tears on a withered flower" :

Also a bad ass ML. Young, crazy, sexy like hell, tender lover ! an unbelievable romance.
Omg thank you for that suggestion, queen <3
If you have any similar tropes/stories, I'd love the suggestions
On another mood, "Regas" is excellent. Hilarious. Gentle teacher giant, protects a "crazy violent" child. That child turns out to be a fucking badass with a gentle heart, who protects only one and destroys all the others with no hesitation ! Hard to describe without giving it away. But it's adorable, funny with a great story and characters. Adventure type. https://www.mangago.zone/recommend-manga/regas/
Thank you so so much, this sounds like yet another great story that I'm gonna binge read.
Regarding the first couple: this started out soooo well and I loved the build up of angst, but then the issue got resolved kinda quickly imo. It's great they found a way to wait with the BDSM stuff and still leave space for feelings outside of D/S, but the resolution seemed a bit rushed. The backstories of both the characters are still very interesting and add a lot of depth to both themselves, and the relationship dynamic. It feels believable and you root for their relationship to work out. The intense feelings the ML experiences towards the MC feel almost visceral, and that was super hot lol.
Also, rules, safe words and consent in BDSM in BL?!! Yes, pleaseeee (the bar is so low in BL, sigh)
The second couple felt even more exciting at first, just to be sorta anti climactic down the line. I guess there's just too much action/drama that happened and this bores me to death. Their first sex scene was also very boring considering the second ML had so much pent up lust for the MC. It was just meh. Also, we know too little about the ML, he lacks depth and seems a bit unfinished as a character, contrary to the MC.
Overall, the art style and how it conveys the intense feelings is marvelous, and the writing is great. I wish some stuff got resolved differently, but those are minor points. Rarely do I feel so immersed in a BL story, and this was a masterpiece.
Wtf is this garbage, the ML just had a calm conversation with the motherfucker who SEXUALLY ASSAULTED his bf, and even talked about his fucking feelings and how he's working on conveying them, again, with a RAPIST, I can't- The story got boring quickly, but I thought, let's give it a chance, but after this, I'm dropping it cause I can't take the relationship seriously anymore. It's like the ML doesn't care
The only exciting thing about this is the art style. The story is lazy, rushed and it had so much potential, but got boring and repetitive quickly.
The fact Tooru caught his love interest sex streaming could've been used in so many better ways, to tease him, blackmail him, push him to do extreme stuff... Also, I hate how all it took for the MC is for the ML to take a bullet just to go - hey, I actually love you and you're not just my toy boy. So rushed lol
I hate how the sex scenes were portrayed like the usual horny BL porn. It could've been done without showing all the cum, the blushing, the fucking... The thought process of him during his uncle's abuse however was done very painfully accurate, it depicts how the mind splits to survive, and how abuse makes you believe whatever is happening to you is deserved, and right. My heart hurts for Hirohito and his story is haunting, but actually way too common irl.
His uncle should rot, forever, and experience the pain he inflicted. It's unclear what happens to him. I guess another realistic part of abuse - justice is more often than not, not served, and the victim is left as a survivor, on their own, and have to deal with the trauma. I'm glad Hirohito found his person, though, and in a rather unconventional way, can reclaim the traumatic experiences, channel them into his sex life, and experience freedom from the role his uncle abusingly forced him into.
This is how you portray sexual trauma AND how it can bleed into BDSM. I love the story. The character dynamic is hot and kinda cute, even if a little unbelievable at times. No idea if I could handle the prequel tho...
This feels rushed and unfinished.
Also, not the 'I made him hit me, it's my fault'. Even in the context of someone who likes violence in sex, this can get dangerous real quick.
This trope is so overdoooneee, my God.
The MC is at least very loveable. ML is an asshole (of course he is).
ive deadass came across 4 different stories with this trope. pack it up omg
Unhinged ML behavior. Watching this cause you can't look away from a car crash lmao
Nah, why start the side story in this weird way just to leave it unfinished... I wish we would've seen more of Polo and red hair guy. He deserves better as he's a very kind person. Sucks to see his dog treat him that way.
The main story was cute. It's an interesting subversion of the master subordinate relationship between a human and a dog. It had a bit of angst, a bit of BDSM, pretty neat. Wish it was a longer story.
