Okay, so this was pretty average despite having all of the tags that I like and the reason for that is because a) there was some dodgy fucks going on. Not exactly rapey, but it verged on that a few times. The tropes of dominating seme was too prominent in the mountain-god one, with the tsundere uke making this feel dodgy. b) not a unique feel in the character chemistry and... that's fine usually, but here it just stood out and I don't like that. The slime was a cool characer and I wanted to see way more of him, but whatever. Anyway, pretty mid. It's not a BAD one to look into, but I think you can find others if looking for a reread. This one isn't the most light-hearted but isn't grey at all, either. Just mid. Not bad, tho.

Soooo, fucking loved this one, as per-usual XDXD I liked the little demon, but when he spoke finally, he kinda lost some of his personality. They YP was cool. The backstory involved was the bare minimum necessary and didn't really tell us much about the YP, but quite frankly, nothing NEEDED to be even said as otherwise it would have felt pointless and empty. They told us everything we needed to know here and nothing was wasted. Liked some of the cute scenes afterwards about their future together, just a shame they were so damn sparse and didn't show how we actually GOT from point a to point be XDXDXD But yeah. It was a straight-forward plot, sweet, didn't rush right into the romance, gave the... bare minimun amount of time to change the relationship from a guardian to a lover dynamic and they actually did it. It felt right and honestly different and the pauses where they weren't together felt nice. Not really one for a reread, but nice. Def liked it.

Best humor and bullshit I've seen in a while. Spins on old stories that are seperated into bite-sized chunks that make them to the point and ON the point. Some things are morally questionable... Others straight up vile, though that wasn't too common. But good for me, that I've read enough yaoi in my time that such things don't faze me anymore. My body is young, while my mind is old.
