Back to School: All Grown Up
Coyote (ZARIYA Ranmaru)
| 4 STARS | yauurr this was quite good like the supernatural werewolves theme and the intense drama is actually pretty epic marleen (seme) is so good because he unconditionally loves lili/coyote (uke) with all his heart and its so wholesome and cute, and lili is also so cute and epic he just had a misunderstanding arc (mandatory drama *rolls eyes*) anyway the whole story about the werewolf hunting and the intertwining of characters is saur cool <3 i read this in 2 days and the art style is very stylized and giving old yaoi but with a touch of realism (also the thwop is sooo well done like omg) the only thing I dont like is how much yapping there is like I know theres a story to be told but like jeesus its so much drama and very emotionally draining *sob* so yaurr 4 stars very interesting ALSO : this hasn't updated in 2 years so the author may or may not have stopped making this ;_(
Liquor & Cigarette
| 4 STARS | danmg zariya cooked again she always cooks fr this one was definitely cute-coded i loved it <3 it's set in a spain-like area and the story is about theo, the owner of a liquor store who has an abysmal alchohol tolerance but he has to practice drinking for an upcoming festival as a wine taster and his childhood friend milano who is helping his "practice" drinking lol but fr there actually is a lot of serious themes in this story and is extremely well-done <3 this felt so much longer than just 5 chapters but the chapters were all quite long too anyway I read this all in one go so I got the full epic experience and the only reason it's not five is because its 1. too short *sob* 2. mildy cringe but thats just me lol OVERALL EPIC
Nemuri Otoko to Koi Otoko
| 3 STARS | alrighttt zariya kinda undercooked this time compared to liquor and cigarette or coyote but it was still good it was just very short and zariya always puts twinges of cringe in all of her stories but this one was especially intense anyway its got the cliche sex excuse plot and this one is of Royce (seme) having a condition where he unconsciously gets freaky if he doesn't take his medication lol but jude (uke) always loved him anyway so he was okay with it
Ang Ang
| DROPPED | bruuhh i've heard about this for like a long time and 5 chapters in it was already not to my tastes AT ALLL i dont really like bsdm stories usually but damn this one was especially bad because even though i like beefy uke's this ones was fr ugly too like bfr and the seme was super annoying to me too its too yucky to even read any more
The Flower of Aloshya
| 4 STARS | this is fairly new so there arent that many chapters and it actually seems pretty interesting and has pretty characters but like the story is moving sooo fast fr and its hard to understand sometimes because it feels like there are panels that they could have added to make a scene more understandable edit : as more chapters came out i started to like it way more like even though yeah there are some confusing parts the story is still epic and in the far or near future i hope kyle (uke) gets the flower of aloshya <3 also the grand duke is so pretty albeit sociopathic but i can smell the feelings hes getting
Dreaming Vampire
| 3 STARS | alright so i lovvvee vampire genre bl sooo much and especially when it has this epic 2000's artstyle (vampire library my goat) anyway though this obvi had the common vampire genre tropes like vamp hunters and vlad the impaler and cringey romance but the dynamic of mamoru (seme) and radu (uke vamp) is very non-traditional while i actually usually like non-trad dynamics but for vampire genre he always gotta be the seme so this was mildy mid and the ending did like my least favorite thing of the non-vampire getting old and wrinkly and then the vampire is just at their deathbed this story did like kinda immortalize mamoru though by making him be able to forever live in radu's dreams after he died but it was still yuck and ugh so it gets a lot of points for the arstyle/vibe and the genre but the dynamic was not my cuppa tea overall 3 stars
Fukutsu no Zono
| 4 STARS | i love how nonchalant the characters are like they got together extremely quickly and there wasn't much resistance due to gender it was epic <3 deto (seme) and zono (uke) also have epic personalities like zono is so cute and fluffy with his accessories and stuff and deto is pretty nonchalant and cute too, the story did happen quickly of course because of it's short length but overall 4 stars because it was epic
Sex Drop
| 3 STARS | oh ma gaaah dude I read this on Monday night at 3am whyyyyy anyway its like alright I did finish it after all but I low-key didn't want to and was forcing myself at the end also the seme personality was kinda annoying but ig it had its moments that ilicited reactions from me so overall 3 stars
Taming the Tiger
