Our Companionship
Really good start but became such a disappointment. In the start the seme was a cute tsundere, looked scary but was actually shy and sweet. The relationship between the two MCs felt rather realistic and had good progression. Then suddenly at chapter 32/33 there was a (spoiler) sad excuse for a confession and attempted rape. I had really looked forward to the confession from the seme but it was really just toxic, aggressive and manipulative, like the seme was trying to guilt trip him into liking him and having sex with him.His personality took a 180 degrees turn, he was super aggressive and his face was scary a fuck. When the uke started crying I really thought the seme would back off. If he at that point had calmed down and apologised properly I probably would have forgiven him but instead he just continued to guilt trip the uke. The uke hadn't even done anything bad to feel guilty about! And yet the uke was shamed into apologising while the seme got off scot free. Made my stomach turn. The story went downhill from there. While the seme got less aggressive afterwards it never was the same again. Not only did he not apologise but it also felt like he became more arrogant and smug afterwards. A pity since I liked how cute, sweet and considerate he was in the beginning. Maybe I'm overreacting and other people got over it but it really just pissed me off. Especially since I had such big hopes for this story. One good thing was that it handled the gaming quite well.

A bit mixed feelings about this one. Good interesting start but became a very cheesy towards the end. Some people are upset about the slavery but I think it was handled pretty well. It was always portrayed as something horrible and a big plot point was to abolish the slavery. I liked that the one with the highest social power was actually the uke since it's almost always the reverse. Not that it prevented (spoiler) the seme from raping him though... which was messed up. Well at least he apologised and tried to make up for it and their next session was consensual and all about pleasing the uke. So I'm satisfied. I was less invested towards the end though. All the drama was resolved too quickly and easily and everything was a bit too cheesy and cute. Simply put it lacked depth. And there were some loose ends. There was also two side couples. Hated the first one (old abusive slave owner x slave) but the second one was good. Beautiful and unique art!
