A story about toxic love and letting go of people who don't want the best for you. It addresses the process of accepting and letting go of someone you hold dear to your heart. It really tugs on your heartstrings, especially when you see how people pleasing and neglecting yourself becomes such a big part of the characters and plot.

A story about healing. In every sense of the word. It also depicts the aspect of abandonment and trust issues quite well. The beginning of the story was so good, but I slowly lost interest as the whole thing continued. It felt like every plotline was rushed in order for a new one to start. This had a lot of potential, but was executed poorly in my opinion.

This story deals with miscommunication as one of the main aspects of the plot. A lot of misunderstandings could have been avoided, if the characters just sat down to talk for a minute. So, the plot was bland, filled with yearning and an overall lack of communication. It wasn't the best in my opinion.

This is fucked up, but it depicts obsession and toxicity so well. This is not for everyone, so proceed with caution. The suspension and all the secrets, that slowly get brought to light, made this even better. To me, this is not romantic at all, and I won't view it as such. But it is a good psychological yaoi where the plot gets wrapped up nicely.

This was nothing special in my opinion. The story has supernatural elements that don't get explored enough, and the plot was quite boring to read. The characters were fine, though I have a love-hate relationship with the side couple. There are other stories that handle bdsm much better than what was portrayed here.

A quick read with minimal dialogue. The art is beautiful and depicts the emotions and feelings of the characters nicely. There's something so sensual about this story that makes it really good.

Relatively quick read that focuses on unrequited love (but not really). Two people meet again after falling out/going no-contact, and the readers get to see how they navigate their feelings--both good and bad. In the end, they manage to actually communicate and get their happy ending. A lot of alcohol was involved.

This story is centred around overcoming one's past, and how to heal while also letting go of any prejudice. The plot seemed so interesting at the beginning, and the build-up between the characters so done in a nice way. The execution, however, was done poorly, and the ending was incredibly rushed. The plot lines don't get their respective ending. They lack detail and further development.

Reincarnation is the central theme in this story. It was interesting at first, but there are so many sub plots throughout the story, a lot of which don't get explored enough. The characters seems one-dimensional and simple and I really wanted more. Overall, it was fine but very fast paced. The art wasn't for me either.

This is an odd one. I didn't really know what to expected, but it certainly wasn't the raging daddy issues. Honestly, this is more sad than anything else. A people pleaser not knowing how to say no, and a young adult with no strong parental figure, taking advantage of that. I dropped rather quickly.
