Tai's manga / #BL(107)

i hate that i read all of this and that it had just enough potential to keep checking back in on it every now and then to see how things had progressed (or not progressed -_-) too bad. its not awful tbh, its just ok. i think i had hopes it would be a little more...thoughtful? than it turned out to be but perhaps thats my fault~ (anyway as is the case with alot of these korean BLs the straight gaze is just overwhelming here) and the story doesnt rly do the best job of convincing me how these two could or would or should work as a couple. it spends more time having them fuck than like actually connecting and knowing that sex scenes can absolutely be used to show a couple getting closer with each other and yet they p much almost never were...yeah. disappointing is how i would define this series overall. basically i wouldnt bother unless u REALLY love omegaverse, in which case this is mid tier. not horrible but not great either. just...ok.

had so much potential to be fun but takes a bit of a weird turn at the end to drum up extra drama and have the soft boi top save the "bitchy" bottom and then ultimately ends on a very vanilla and straight gaze-y note. which woulda made me take off a star alrdy but then the weird shit where for some bizarre reason the bad guy wants sado-queen to fuck his own younger brother....huh??? (the real huh is they almost do it! they are like "oh dear...well i guess we have no choice~~" like...wtf? im not even that opposed to incest in fictional stories but for it to occur in a story where one of his main motivating factors is to hide his kinky lurid lifestyle from his innocent baby bro and protect him and provide for him...ugh whatever. that was another star. im mad cause the setup was so up my alley. coulda had it all~ (it def conflates having a job doing sex work and being kinky with somehow being "broken" inside or troubled and ughhhhh just BYE)

light. silly. forgettable. as in i already forgot what happens for most of the story. i should prob fix that at some point.....anyway its fine! (as always the central premise is so patently silly yet not funny enough to justify its use so that alrdy kinda KOs most of my emotional connection to it but the real question is, is it smutty and fun? yes, yes it was....i think)
