Rae D.'s manga / #select hot scene(s)(74)

I love this. I love this way more than I thought I would. I love this way more than I should. By the time I got to the main story's conclusion, I was ready to give this a 9.5, but now after reading the epilogue/side stories, this is getting a solid as fuck 9.6. This... had a profound effect on me, lol. I have never neared the end of a BL and thought "I want it to end this way but I know it never ever would end that way" and then got to the ending and had it end EXACTLY the way I only wished it would in my wildest dreams. That is why this gets the unconventional oven tag. At every twist and turn in the main story my expectations were subverted time and time again. It gave me such a fucking rush/thrill!!! Author-nim was very much not afraid to against the grain within this certain sub-genre of BL. Our top was a psychopath murderer who killed multiple people in cold blood throughout the story and yet 1) stayed alive until the very end, 2) never got caught, 3) did not end up professing his love for the bottom MC, and 4) lived out the rest of his days and year with the bottom (and we got to see their happy future!!!!). Like, this was wildly unexpected to me bro. BL's of this nature usually always end on some sort of fuck shit or the other. But nah, not this one. I was so pleasantly and overwhelmingly surprised by the way this ended. I love Kirin so much because I think he is one of the only BL MC's who I thought "yeah, I'd do the exact same thing if I were in your shoes" every single time he performed an action. It's crazy how much I kin him considering the situation and all. I also don't think I have ever been so dedicated to simping for a BL love interest top who has done their bottom MC as dirty as Moo did Kirin bro. Like, never. You're boy not only raped him multiple times with no lube or condom, but also took his virginity in that same manner because they even shared a first kiss and in front of a lecherous audience full of the same guys who raped and were responsible for the death of the person he was most close to in the world. He also set up a situation for the MC to get gang raped and induced with a lethal level of drugs by injection. Like bro, I have never seen my MC be manipulated so much and so effortlessly as I did here. All of those things I said aren't even the worst part though because there are obvi some horrible tops out there in BL's. Worst part is he then felt no remorse for his actions up until the very end of the story and told the MC he did all that shit purely because it was ............ fun? like LMFAO what?!?!?!?!??!??!?!?!?!?!? At that point in time, I thought surely the chance of me supporting their relationship- let alone simping for this man myself, by the end of this story is 0.00000000% But dude..... here I am at the story's conclusion happily in full support of their relationship and simping for this man like crazy. I think that def also qualifies this to win the unconventional oven tag lol. Ugh, I am just incredibly down bad for this psycho killer bro. Like, he is MY cup of tea. His acitons, his quips, his smirk, his deadpan face, his sadisticness, his relentlessly domineering attitude, his lack of remorse, all of it I was there for it. Also, you know how I really knew I had it bad for this man? I caught myself about halfway through the story thinking, "ooooooh, I just KNOW this man has a deep ass sexy ass VOICE ".... hahaha yes, I do know I need therapy ASAP. Anyway, this BL getting my dream ending and the simp-worthiness of the top doing a complete 180 (and then some!!!), are two of my most fav things about this. The other main thing is the nature of the couple's relationship and how complex it is. Like, I haven't quite seen anything like it. What's going on between them can't be called love but it's .... _________. Yeah, lol, it's a bit too complex for me to even explain here. That's why I gave this the "let's unpack" tag lol. To one day return to this and analyze this relationship. It impresses me greatly and I find it fascinating and original. Okay anything else? The cover art is the bomb.com, author-nim is the greatest ever for leaving all of those comments, notes, jokes, and answers to fan's questions so I love them and want to return one day to throw money at them, and lastly these many of these sex scenes were on LITERAL fireeeeee bruh, like ughhghisabnosn. That's pretty much all there was left to say lol. I loved this. It was thrilling and gave me a rush that I can only hope to one day feel again. *Gordon Ramsey chef's kiss* (<- the HIGHEST of praise).

Absolutely beautiful piece of artwork. 9.55. P.S. MEGA browine is pts for the glow up that is Theo and that goddamn shoestring in his hair!!!

So I liked this a lot. Jus not quite enough to give it a 9.6. I’m giving it a 9.55 tho. The plot was really whatever+. The SMUT tho?!?! Wheeeew chile. Man, wow. Um, mhmmm yeah. So this too, a bunch of bdsm fantasies I had and didn’t have and depicted them but like other BL did not stop short. Nah, they truly went ahead and went all the way with that shot. Ran with it even. Yeah. That was good lol. Probably the healthiest depiction of BDSM I’ve seen in a BL so far and my fav too. That why this has an honorable mention tag. It would also have a “can I has this top?” tag too- and I mean it really almost did- if it weren’t for Cha Sowin’s social ineptitude. Cha Sowin in bed? Hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah daddy (or should I say, master? ). Cha Sowin in a social setting with people other than Jononi? Ewwww. Like, it’s one thing to be like, “I’m a bad boy and I do what I want so people are too scared to talk to me at school”. Like, we can do that and that can be fine. But “I am not a bad boy, I’m just rudely cold to people and they dislike me because I seem to act like I’m better than everyone else”? Hell no ick ick ick. That’s not hot at all. An ideal partner is kind to people other than myself. Even if Cha Sowin tried changing that part of him because Jooni told him to, it’s still not acceptable that he wasn’t goin to do that on his own at his big age. Whatever, Jooni is a sweet sweet precious adorable hot foine ass baby fox and I love him so very much. His backstory also made me wanna cry a wittle bit

This here is… one of my guiltiest of guilty pleasures. This is one of my most pleasurable of guilty pleasures. Oh my goodness. I am simply smitten. My first ploy relationship in fiction ever. It makes me so happy. My heart is so full. I really needed to see that I think, like I really did. I feel like it’s opened up my worldview literally. I’ve been identifying as poly for a while now (about 3 years) but it’s always been more of a vague concept- never something I ever thought about to concretely. And that’s in large part because of how little representation there is like, anywhere. Obvi it won’t be on mainstream tv or romance anime considering the time. But the fact that I couldn’t even find it in BL really shows just how non-favorably polyamory is viewed today. So this BL here? Did something kind of revolutionary for me. Did some toxic shit happen? Hella yeah, Kou and Ginga did some truly unforgivable shit to Yuu. However, I’m quite willing to overlook it. Why? Multiple reasons. Is it because of how much I like this being poly? Yeah, that too. But also because of the way that the artist sculpted a particular tone and vibe throughout this story. It’s a tone that allows the reader to really suspend their disbelief as well as the nitty gritty parts of their morality for the sake of making this story work. She truly allowed me to grant myself a full escape from reality. It’s not just that the MC is okay with those toxic things, but it’s more so the way he responded and the way the two of them responded in he aftermath that’s made it work. Just enough condemning the bad thing, just enough them being genuinely sorry and knowing they don’t have a valid excuse, but most importantly the MC not forgiving them because is illusioned into thinking abuse = love/okay because of love. But more so him thinking “well that was horrible but I love these guys and won’t stop loving them so I will choose to forgive them and whip them into shape so that we can all move forward into a happy future that is happy not just because I have them but happy because I chose it of my own will”. Idk, I don’t think I explained that well, but that’s good enough for now. Anyway, the art was very mediocre. But the sex scenes, humour, characters, plot, and dialogue?????????????????? Waaaay up there bro!!!!! Me thinks if this BL had good art on top of that I’d pass out from joy before I could finish reading . This BL is a prime example of dirty talk done right. Oh and the characters all felt so real and I got t know and love each one of the three. The rapport they have with one another is also phenomenal. No cop outs around here bro they all loved each other dearly and I could feel it through the page. No matter which two out of three you pick to put in a separate room, the vibes in that room will be stupendous. We really denounced the idea of depending on tropes to tell the story with this one in one million ways. Were tropes present? I mean yeah, but that’s not a bad thing. So many of these tropes were tweaked slightly to really make them a new thing of its own. Instead of one trope per character and that character’s personality being based 90% on that trope with the other 10% being other quirks, each character basically got two tropes that almost directly contradicted each other to work with as groundwork and the the character was fleshed out built to fullness from there. They’re so multi-faceted, good looking, funny, and lovable. Overall, the traits of this that I like are not present only in this BL (aside from the polyamory). However, it isn’t often that I see all of those traits fall into one single BL and wrapped up so wholesomely with a smutty bow on top. This author has garnered my praise. I’m giving this a 9.4. PS: I tagged with “f’ed up” just to be honest and consistent. Even though I didn’t quite mind

9.25....look, can’t lie, I mildly enjoyed myself

This was the good kind of messy rollercoaster lol. I like the ones like this. They have a 9.0-9.2 rating on here and people in the comments have mixed reviews but they are almost guaranteed to be entertaining hahah. Anyway, yes I was entertained and not only that, I laughed- often. It was actually sooooo funny to me but not in a super regular way lol. The dialogue and ridiculousness of the characters would kill me. The art style did keep me from reading this from a loooong time but it pulled a K's Secret where the author got sooooo significantly better at art while writing the story so the characters all started looking better too. In particular MAN was Sihoon not hot at all when we started this ugh. He really was not. But by the end *swooooon*. This kind of sucks for me personally because I was already swooning for him while he was ugly because of the way he would act. So i wish he was as hot as he is at the end in the beginning because that would have greatly increased my simp factor for him. Oh, well I can't lie I still like him sooo much and want him irl so bad. MC here really living my dreams and I'm so sick. *vomits*. Now, these sex scenes???? I can't even fucking lie to you they were hot bro they were hot. Even when Sihoon was ugly oomph his whole demeanor is SUCH a turn-on for me ooooooooh ugh I caaaaaaan't. Like, oh my goodness there are way too many things I can say for how Sihoon was working these goddamn sex scenes. It be the small things that set him apart for me. Not only did he have regular looking nipples as a top, but he also greatly enjoyed having MC suck on them??????????????? (like he was all moaning and gapsing and shit ooooooooooooowwwweeeeeeee so HOT)

(not in proper timeline order) I read this long long ago before I was doing reviews and actually before I ever even found this app lol. I know because I paid REAL money to read this in renta!!! Can you imagine Hahahah. Anyway, one day I’ll reread it and give it a rating and review maybe.

So, I don't actually think this deserves a 9.5, but I'm giving it a 9.5 anyway. It really kinda irks me how BL's are scored so differently from GL's. If this was a BL, I think it would've been a 9.4, but every time I read a GL I feel like I walk away thinking, "that wasn't as good as I thought it was gonna be". People seem to be more willing to settle for choppy plot points and stories that are just not written as well when it comes to this genre. So anyway, I'm still giving it the 9.5 thought because it was super original and the art was fantastic. The main character annoyed the living hell out of me and honestly, I low-key didn't even wanna sere her get a happy ending. The evil twin sister?? Yeah, no fuck her. She REALLY didn't deserve a happy ending. I feel real bad for non-evil twin sister/main love interest. What happened to her fucked up, and frankly, her ending was not as happy as she deserved. I can't remember what their names are, BUT the second couple's top - the one with the super cool sunglasses - was HOT AS HELL. Honestly, she carried this whole fucking manga on her back for so much of the story, it's ridiculous. Also, they did her dirty for killing her boo, smh. Alright, what else? Ooooo, the xxx sexes, they really something else. And that might be the main reasons honestly in the end of the day when you reeeeeeeally think about, that I'm willing to give this a 9.5 despite all the annoyance & frustration it gave me. Like, seriously, those scenes were REALLY adding VALUE to this work. As a true-to-blue lesbian, I have no choice but to applaud the artistry in that. GL’s honestly don’t b this long and this good with sex scenes that slap like this often, so ultimately ima go ahead and give this the 9.5 for the culture.

Bro, I cannotttttttttt. This was SUCH a gem!!!! Omg, ugh I cannot. First of all, I adore this artist's art style. I first saw it in "Miss You, Lucifer" and was in love with it, but after this one I am absolutely obsessed with how CUTE it isssss! Ugh, yess. Okay, yes this story was good. It took me 3-4 days to read it. When I read Bl's that can only ever been a very good thing or a very bad thing lol. It is usually bad because if I was bored enough with the story to be able to put it down more than days in a row, I probs didn't like it much by the end. OR - less often the case - the story is so blissfully balanced, that I can comfortably leave it and pick it back up. Not sure how to describe this one so much, I have def felt it before only ever with stories that are as easy-going and adorable as this one. It's a rare treat. Yes, anyway, W art style, easy flowing pacing, ADORBS relationship between the characters. Truly, cutie pies. Aside from this distinct art style, this author also seems to have a sense of humor lol. So silly, they were. Silly, but also realistic and not dramatic. Not saying I don't like drama, but just saying I love it when we don't add drama to a story that makes the characters (particularly the MC) just seem like a dramatic (derogatory) person. Anyway, yep these characters were not that. They were chill and cute and lovely beings. This whole BL was a cute little breath of fresh air and I was already willing to give tithe 9.5, but when we PULLED OUT KIDS AT THE LAST SECOND and the kids were CUTE AF, I knew for sure-sies that the 9.5 was warranted. I am happy to have read this. :3 P.S. these smex scenes were pretty hot- considering the art style
