Faded First Love

Complete | Wataru hinekure,Aruko | 2019 released

i discovered this BL by accident in 2022 while i was spending time at the BAnQ. really really really cute story. i have to admit, that was a pretty original concept. i was hooked from the start! the characters are lovable and i was rooting for everyone. it was so cute! took me a while to finish it tho because i was starting it, forgetting the plot and restarting it over and over again. but after many attempts, i manage to finish it in 2 reads! the story has a pretty slow pace and that was the best choice the author made because reading it felt like growing with the characters. seeing the 2 boys learn how to love and be together was adorable!! i really liked the dynamic between Aoki and Ida. i never quite saw a dynamic like that in other BLs or shojos in general. it was a breath of fresh air. the second couple was also very cute even though at first, i didn't appreciate Aida. i felt like he wasn't serious but seeing him being all shy and embarrassed in front Hashimoto just made me realize that he was just not the best at expressing serious emotions. overall, it was adorable. i love when romances are just cute and innocent, when the little things make the characters blush; that's the true essence of shojos!

it was a good story, was wondering why Liam was so horny and touchy just to find out he had a fucked up childhood. damn. the story could have went for a little longer but it's a cute little story so im not really complaining (just a little). the ending was a little anticlimactic in a way? cuz the hunters were dead set on killing Liam but ended letting him go after hearing his story… they could have done this a loooong time ago and the story would have been shorter but oh well. it didn’t really change my opinion of the story. the sex scenes were rare but GODDAMN!! quality over quantity frl. i shamefully discovered that i have a thing for long tongues lmao. also the size difference awakened something obscure in me lmaoo . we got no explanation on how Cavo is born but it's okay i don't mind cuz he's adorable and deserve the entire world. overall a really really cute story
