Carrot For a Shlong's manga / #NSFW(39)

*smashes head into concrete* I love friends to lovers so much, best trope

actually losing it with this one

Honestly criminal how good but short this is

Generic ugly art, uninspired sex scenes, love interest sucks. Half the time I was distracted by the poorly used clip studio paint assets. All things expected with this author, I don't get the hype.

top actually has character traits beyond tall and mean, which I appreciate, plus the twink's not a total doormat (only a little bit, what can I say my standards are low for bl), I also appreciate the characters actually being gay/bi and openly rejecting the stupid "I'm straight but I fell in love with a guy". besides that just a very typical Mafia romance webtoon that I quite enjoyed

meh, typical bl where love interest needs a concent workshop. Even if you're into that, they don't really do it that well.

reread this in 2024, honestly my opinion has never been so mixed. there are parts that were okay and even pretty interesting and there were some parts that were... questionable to say the least. Random kidnaping and rape scene of the ginger guy that never gets mentioned again? out of place sexual assault that immediately gets forgotten about. the dog chapter (⁠٥⁠↼⁠_⁠↼⁠). not to mention the pseudo-incest, and yes, they are legally brothers, doesn't matter if they don't see each other that way, they are functionally step-bros. whole story was kinda meh but I'll be honest, I wouldn't exactly be on this site if I had high tier standards...

this has no right to be this good. My God, I saw the janky quality of the anime and thought it was going to be another generic bl. The story is predictable, but the execution is on a whole other tier. This may very well be the best romance I've ever read. The way real relationship struggles are portrayed in both the main and side couple just have a sense of realism I've never seen before. genuinely a must read immediately, I don't care if it's 2am and you've got an opening shift at work tomorrow, read the whole thing right now, then watch the anime, then both the Japanese and Thai dramas.

Starts off rapey (not my problem with it, the story is actually pretty upfront that it contains that) but then there's a strange tonal shift and everyone just forgors. Bit weird that they didn't just commit to one, but I'm in no position to judge when I'm the one caught ordering the slop. The art's pretty good and I've read worse stories.

and if I said she was an icon? A pioneer in her field? A goddess before her time?
