Tai's manga / #BL(107)

i really dont have much to say about this one unfortunately. i like it better than the story its a spinoff from ill say that. i do like that the couple is reversible and the fantasy elements are fun enough. but overall i left feeling underwhelming and the story doesnt rly go all the way wihth the premise as it could. overall tho its sweet and spicy enough to hit the spot when u just want smth quick and light to read around bedtime. i didnt feel strongly enough about it to give it more than 2 stars tbh (also the ending felt a tad bit abrupt tbh) but its rly not bad tbh

a lil sweet, a lil angsty, slice of life childhood friends to lovers story. pretty typical storyline and outcome but it seems i never tire of this trope so here we are. i thought it was good altho it would have benefitted from perhaps one more love scene....(my reiew isnt doing it justice haha cuz im lazy but 3 stars means its a worthwhile read so go on ahead. its not that long either)

sexy sex (but lots of dubcon), gorgeous art, gorgeous men, and some not totally half assed world building. its ultimately more erotic romance than historical fantasy but its def trying to be a bit of both. and i appreciate its effort even if that part of the plot isnt as engaging to me as the more sexy romance side but thats just cuz im a pervert haha. anyway def one of the better BLs out there. if u like dubcon this is extra hot, and if u dont that might be a turn off but they do eventually fall in love and i did feel convinced enough by it. feel free to skip the 2 or so chpt short story BL in Space that comes after it. its just very....meh. (gorgeous tan boy made me give it 3 stars right away haha)

this was....so underwhelming. i could say more but that almost feels like a waste of my time. lol it sounds like i hated it but i didnt i just left the story feeling unsatisfied and kinda bored. but not enough to quit the story mid way. just seems like ti didnt do anything interesting with its omegaverse premise, the love story isnt very romantic or angsty or charming. the bickering isnt rly all that clever or funny. the comedy itself is just very broad. the art is fine and the sex scenes are also fine, not esp erotic but fairly naughty. its too long to be a quick smutty read before bed but doesnt use its length to tell any kind of compelling story. the fact that it ends without either marking, marriage, babies or some other kind of Commitment (and the love making scene is weirdly short and inconsequential despite all the build up to it?). at the end im still not entirely convinced that the alpha is esp invested in the omega and thats a shame. in the end not bad enough to give it 1 star but not enjoyable enough to give it more than 2 (and also their hatred is based on almost nothing, and again doesnt even use that pettiness to be actually funny) there's a better version of this story that ive read elsewhere.
