| 3 STARS | ok so basically: the art style is good-but i kinda hate the way it made the seme look ngl :( like he looks older than he should because he has eye wrinkles and his face is lowky annoying me too the uke is pretty and stuff too but the art style- even though its rlly detailed and nice- just makes them look so realistic anyway the story is interesting too even if it wasn't rlly my cup a tea tbh like the uke doctor was so traumatized from one old man dying be fr and he straight up gave up on being a cardiovascular surgeon bc of the seme- WHICH DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED BRO like he was already kind of annoying in the beginning tbh but AT THE END HE WAS LIKE "cant you see how annoying it is to be treated like i'm related to you just because i slept with you" AND "what kind of stupid idiot are you?" LIKE BRO YOU WERE LItERALLY TELLING HIM YOU LOVED HIM THE SECOND TIME YOU MET BFFR I HATE HIM SO MUCH AND THE UKE WAS SO NICE TO HIM IN RESPONSE TO THAT FOR SOME REASON LIKE BRO I NEVER EVER LET THAT SLIDE IDC IF HE DIDN"T MEAN IT anyway fr i hate the seme a lot after the end which is why i only rated it 3

| 4 STARS | so like I just reread some of the new official chapters and like it's alr it in the beginning the art was like super duper weird and the proportions were hella wacky but it does get better later on the story itself though is very pnp and they mostly just make the ukes life bad and make him suffer even if they play it off as "haha funny he's so dumb" his life is literally ruined and he should be extremely traumatized but anyway the white hair main seme is also an ahole who is obsessed with the uke for no apparent reason other than him being pretty?? like I only gave it 3 stars because the art is pretty good later on and the spice was prty good but other than that it's very short so it ain't rlly got much story ahahaha u don't have the votes UPDATE : the extras were pretty good lol the beginning wasn't the best but it got a bit better so its 4 stars now tehe

How to Be the Chosen One

Ongoing | Face park | 2019 released

| 4 STARS | alr so this is really cool cause like its a BL isekai which are pretty few and far between so its already a rare commodity and this one has a super unique plot fr like sun dowon (uke) got isekaid and immediately fooled everybody into believing he was their god (although im pretty sure everything about him and the prophecy of their god being similar isn't just a coincidence tehe) anyway ofc he could only do this because he already was a master manipulator :sunglasses: and he also only relieves his boredom by getting freaky so yaurr anyway multiple semes : the king of arboria ilbis (main seme) vercion/versace (head priest with an insane obsession) and some random flings anywar the story is rly good the only thing i could fault it for is like the uke being a teensy bit annoying but i still like him a lot for a character thats supposed to be a whore (when did this become a WHORE HOUSE)

Tourou No Ori

Ongoing | psyche delico | 2014 released

| 3 STARS | alr so this is another extremely nostalgic and classic title for me ofc after rereading this I definitely dont think it was as good as when I read it originally because it my brain got better at evaluating yaoi since then but this story is fo sho still all kinds of fucked up like incest, grooming, rape, imprisonment, pedophilia, violence, etc and it's happening in like 19th century japan so YOU KNOW every help resource is useless, speaking of which all stories that happen AFTER ancient eras but BEFORE modern eras are always so freakin psychological tbh anyway though even if the story is super psychological and stuff it's also rlly sad- like too sad so I don't like it that much but I can respect the intricacy and complexness of it but fr I rlly do hope that toma gets his happy ending and that norihiko fucking burns in hell

Choco Strawberry Vanilla

Complete | psyche delico | 2000 released

| 3 STARS | omg I'm so mad I was literally writing this review and accidentally went back and deleted everything AGGHHHH anyway this love triangle is between two childhood best friends who share everything even lovers and a cute delinquentish guy who is obsessed with hiroi unfortunately though as most 3P's go there's drama about if mineguchi likes take more and vice versa so that is slightly annoying but the smut is like pretty epic and mine is rlly cute fr ( even though he's a victim of non-con ;c ) story and art are alr but not super over the top or anything so that's why it gets three stars tehe

Chew Me up and Teach Me About Love

Ongoing | Pokerou | 2022 released

| 3.5 STARS | so this is from the same creator as that other one with the incubus possession office worker story (gochisousama) and it's pretty epic there are alot of things that I would change about this if I could though; like the seme having a cooler shlong, the uke also getting theoriomorphesis, the seme not being so careful and actually acting on his frequent urges, ---> ~UPDATE: BRO ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED LOL~ and *ESPECIALLY getting rid of the cringe ahh ahh dialogue* (⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠) <--- this is the worst omg it completely takes me out of the story and I think it's mostly the translators fault too cause based on their notes and stuff they seem super cringe like omg it feels like it's written by a 30 year old from how cringe the dialogue sometimes but other than that the art is really good and the characters are pretty but hitomi (uke) actually is really super dumb fr so I kinda hate him, kamiya (seme) also acts like that sometimes too :_( the story is interesting though even if like I said I would appreciate some different elements overall 3.5 stars (⁠✯⁠ᴗ⁠✯⁠)

1 to 10

Ongoing | Nod | 2022 released

| 3 STARS | i saw it first on twitter or somethng i think and it looked pretty good and yeah it was alr but what made it not great was definitely the characters like i rlly dont like the uke because of how dumb he is usually and he is AWLAYS jumping to conclusions and hes also conservative and a huge "innocent" romantic but can also somehow break up with somebody over text with no remorse after dating them for over 100 days?? his personality just kinda SUCKSED for the seme i think he wasnt AS bad but was still bad because like he apparently has a past with the uke that the uke doesnt remember and thats why he likes him so much but he also was ready to give him up super easily and rejected his request to get freaky when he saw that the uke was tryna date somebody new even though they werent even together yet and had only slept together one time (NON CONSENSUALLY MIGHT I ADD) so yaur story overall kinda mid too and i can tell theres mabye some drama approacheth so erm eek

What You Wish For Won't Come True

Ongoing | Nongha | 2019 released

| 4 STARS | gyatDAYUM this was epic fr like it was wayyy too short :sob: i loved the dynamic fr it was giving that one thing from harada where they were childhood friends and one got hit by a car and guilttripped the other for the rest of his life- except in this one it was wonhyuk's (uke) half brother hanseo (seme) who was chronically ill as a child and one day wonhyuk left when he was supposed to be watching him and when he came back he got yowched by his uncle for leaving his brother in a terrible state and since then he's always been overly worried about hanseo (also hanseo purposely spat out his medicine that day which caused him to be so sick when wonhyuk got back) but anyway story is epic characters are epic art is epic just wish it was longer fr <3

Love in Orbit

| 3.5 STARS | alirhtght so I fr have been reading this once basically since day one i think (it premiered in april 2023) and it was quite epicly good like the alien thing was kewl and sihwa was really hot and sohan was very mature and cool not ur typical uke and the story was very in depth; although sometimes i didnt like the plot like the entire arc with the dad was annoying and i didnt really like sarah also i fr like sacha and gabin more as a couple than sihwa and sohan lol their dynamic is just better (i still love sihwa and sohan tho) but im really sad that theres not gonna be a spin off with them and they just ended the story quite rushedly :( anyway i put 3.5 because it was pretty good and ive been a long time reader so theres sentiment value but it wasnt like super showstoppingly amazshing lol overall good tho :-)
