Able is making me existential. To find joy in the everyday wonders. All the things he says to the ML are things we should say to children, to enjoy the air, the sky and worms crawling beneath our feet. To empathize with them, to show them if they don’t know, to forgive and to give them the tools to deal with life. He never lies, never turns in disgust. He embodies the perfect loved one. If only everyone had an Abel ..

In case anyone else is looking, seems like we are up to date with the raws will have to suffer with the unknowing.

Wtf? There’s red flags and then there’s this. He is the river Nile and Moses smiting the Egyptians with a river of blood. He needs help. The way he treats his servants is so fucking foul. Ew. I really don’t know how the author will write him a redemption arc. I can only hope the MC (who I love ) can escape.

The thumbnail in my notifications has a different cover and it’s YJH and DK standing back to back, legitimately thought it was a BL work I marinated but it was ambiguously gay ORV.

Screaming crying throwing up that I didn’t marinate this! Love it so freaking much immediately. The pain of having to wait. I think I’ll just read the novel.

Noo! The cliffhanger! This is so goood. It’s exactly my type of story. In pain. In love.

PatrickStar created a topic of Regas

Avoided this because of the change of appearance but I did and it’s amazing!!! And I genuinely avoid 95% of the flowery weak uke types but Abel and the knight!! I love all of them. I might just read the novel too.

Oh. This one is so very precious. About two men who suddenly have to take care of a 6 yo child. A well crafted romance nestled in a story that had a lot of nuance and a lot to say about its characters. Human and flawed. Highly recommend it. It’s sweet and just a little bitter.

PatrickStar created a topic of Daraku Kazoku-ron

This is sooo good. What a treasure. And Meguru is the most precious. I love the romance here, it just sort of happens in the most natural way. Also, I’m convinced the Yakuza boss was into the ML. Running with him together? Ignoring Ririko for so many years?

There was a lot of layers with Ririko too, she wasn’t a good mother or a good girlfriend but she seemed to want to be free and that comment about restricting her for so long gave a lot of insight. The MC giving up his musical career, broke my heart but there’s a lot to be said about your dreams as a young man and the conviction to do what you love but ultimately realizing that luck isn’t on your side. Really glad I read this, every single character had a lot more nuance then I expected.

Wow this was so rushed at the end. They crammed so much exposition into the final chapter that could’ve been done in 5 instead. I really really enjoyed it though. It has all the elements of an action sci fi BL but did it very well. The characters are engaging, the plot thought out and the pacing decent until the last few chapters.

I’m guessing the author was told to wrap it up by the company or something because it’s clear that they were setting up the end arc early on but 90% of it was solved in 5 panels. Such a shame because this a competently structured story.

So strange and raunchy and funny. The art though, bless the artist, I hope they only have good dreams from here to eternity. This gives Pygmalion vibes which was also weird, silly and paced like this story.

PatrickStar created a topic of The Perfect

Wow, there’s so much plot and I really cannot guess what’s up with MC or the ML, rare for that to happen, very intrigued by the story. The characters are hilarious and so bratty/insane I love it. The MC’s novel . When someone called the agency 4gay too. Excited to see where this goes. really love the author so have high hopes.

PatrickStar created a topic of Love Me Doctor!

Dropping this because I do not like the doctor at all. It’s highly highly unethical to go after a patient let alone one who is significantly younger and less experienced. I’ve read a lot of toxic shit but Idk why this Seme fiends my gears so much. The best friend was 100% right when he said you don’t really know what going on with him. Coupled with a very naive uke, just had me feeling uncomfortable.

PatrickStar created a topic of Smoky Nectar Renew

“I want to be loved. “You want to love me.” this story makes my heart beat faster. They love each other sooo much it hurts to read in a good way.

This turned out so… amazingly good. Nakwon’s arc is near perfection. He’s still a brat but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a character take responsibility to the extent he did. And Mokhwa. I can’t believe he’s blushing and smiling, I only want for him to be happy.

Also, the official translation is amazingly done. I doubt it’s easy to translate the complexity of the phrases used at the end there but they did such a great job.

Devastated it took me so long to read this and devastated that I read it because now I need it’s eaten into my very soul. Yes to be dramatic.

PatrickStar created a topic of SaYe

This is really good. The translations are a bit iffy but can’t complain. I laughed out loud at the level of censorship, and audible wtf ? Not even a proper kiss. When the stupid lamp got in the way and the shaft of light (not in a fun way), I went wow.

This feels like a fever dream. Nothing made sense until like the last chapter. Quite enjoyed it.

Gosh. This is so good and there’s so much plot and an MC who functions independent of the ML? And they aren’t soulmates from day 1? And there’s actual intrigue and well done game mechanics in the story??? This is a treasure and oh, the pain. It’s been a year!! Wish I hadn’t read this because now I’m just sad,
