Excellent character development, MCs have tremendous chemistry, but there's a lot of dubcon and unnecessary subterfuge.... And a severe lack of communication. Great story though

S1 was perfect. In terms of pacing, characters, dialogue, everything- it was a joy to read. Somehow, it's been a lot more difficult for me to read S2. It might be the change of art, but honestly, I believe the storytelling seems to have dipped in this new season. Things just don't seem that impactful anymore.

Game - Suit no Sukima

Ongoing | NISHIKATA Mai | 2000 released

Wow. One of my first forays into hetero smut, and the plot is gripping me by the neck. I love their chemistry, I love the characters, I especially love how cold and cutthroat BOTH of them are. It's arduous torture, and the reader is forced to enjoy every second of it, because even through the turmoil, this is excellent.

Koi to Dangan

Ongoing | mino nozomi | 2000 released

Pretty good take on the classic mafia romance. MC is fun, if a bit Mary Sue-ish, and ML is the archetype of a yakuza boss. Smut scenes are well done, plot is a bit messy and the pacing oscillates between too fast and draggy.

Painter of the Night(Yahwacheop)

Ongoing | Byeonduck | 2019 released

I think this marks the definition of new age yaoi- kind of like what Viewfinder used be, back in 2015. Sexy as sin, plot is murky, and there's so much to uncover. ML has so many issues, and honestly a lot of the sex is tiptoeing the line between dubcon and noncon. Am I going to stop? No. Nakyum is an angel, and the art is phenomenal.

Zero communication, lots of closeted behaviour that's borne of the society, but the sex- phenomenal. Their chemistry- brilliant. The characters themselves? They're so troubled, but they're attracted to each other like magnets, and I'm in awe.

it should be named misunderstandings and assumptions galore, really. I got incredibly tired of everyone just assuming things and not actually talking. It's very cute, don't get me wrong, but this kind of misunderstanding gets old very fast

Since a saintess is coming from another world, I, the hindrance, want to disappear

Ongoing | Hasumi Ryou,Bachi | 2000 released

Read the spoilers and got so turned off that an orangutan in a bikini would be more appealing. Garbage ML who is emotionally abusive and manipulative.

Birth of a Villainess

Ongoing | Tb | 2019 released

Such an interesting premise, with a banger FL who's gutsy as hell but still manages to conform to societal expectations. Demon BF is very sexy and pings my yandere radar, so I'm waiting to see how this will progress.
