Sweet Blood (kim Se-young) Manhwa
A roller coaster of feelings! One of the few yaois where a bastard rapist seme TRULY regrets, apologises, repents and change for the better. I LOVED seeing his character development. I think it helped that they let it take time and that the uke didn't forgive him immediately, but actually hated him and let him suffer before eventually starting to forgive him. And only after the seme had changed. The characters are really good! They feel real. Their feelings, developments and interactions make sense. The story focuses on several characters, which works, since they have interesting stories too. One negative is that it's quite confusing sometimes. Especially in the beginning. The art is beautiful. A bit too skinny but it's still great! How they play with light and shadow is beautiful. Their expressions are also really good! Their feelings come across clearly without being too exaggerated or stiff. Overall I like how the story manages to mix cute and funny moments with serious, emotional and even horrible scenes.

Love Me Doctor!
Really funny story about a guy with erectile dysfunction and his doctor. The plot starting point may be a bit wonky but the characters are actually quite realistic and 3-dimensional. Really likeable! The doctor kinda uses his doctor card in order to hit on the uke, which is definitely not professional lol, but I don't really mind that much. It's not too serious and he always makes sure the uke feels good. Some people also dislikes him because he sleeps around, but I don't really mind that much about that either. It can bother me in other stories but here he is such a considerate top, being sexy and giving blowjobs that I actually really liked it. Felt very wholesome. And they weren't together at the time. Can't wait for him to be as considerate to the mc! The mc is a bit dense with romance but not to the point where it's annoying. Really like him. Nice to see a muscular, athletic and social bottom too! His best friend is also best boy! <3 Note to self: love me doctor, 12!

Actually quite good. Rare supernatural where the uke is some badass assassin. After the seme messed up real bad around chapter 20 I was afraid it was gonna turn toxic (the seme honestly looks like typical sadistic type) but he actually gave a proper apology and it was quite wholesome after that. Really refreshing that the uke can stand his ground and takes no shit. The plot is so-so though. Kinda interesting but could have been better.
Smoky Nectar
This was great! Very short unfortunately but still exciting. Good plot with biters (kind of like vampires), suspicious deaths and a bit of danger. Love the characters and the childhood friends theme. After so many toxic semes this one was so wholesome. He's protective, devoted, respectful and seeing him let go of his usual restrained self is great. Has just the right amount of angst. Nice seme on uke bj too!
Behind the Scenes(monologue)
I LOVE this!! There is a lot of angst, but in a good way, and the characters emotions come across very well. They are all deep, well rounded complicated characters and you really start to feel for them. Their interactions and developments makes sense and never feels rushes, illogical or like some cheap plot device. There are some complicated entangled relationships but I would say there are two couples and I actually love both of them. Quite funny actually. A toxic simp simping for another toxic simp simping for a cute cinnamon bun who is starting to catch feelings for anther cute cinnamon bun. The first couple (the cinnamon buns) were just so wholesome. I love how much of a fanboy the seme was. I was afraid he was gonna turn resentful or toxic at some point as that has happened in other stories but he remained a sweet cinnamon bun and extremely kind and devoted to the uke. I just love seeing a seme who admires and deeply respect his uke, as it is normally the other way around. The second couple was also very good. Started out toxic, mainly from the some's part, but I just loved seeing them overcome it. There was a really satisfying redemption arc. In general there were some toxic behaviour but it was addressed very well and not just skipped over. Very satisfying redemption arcs where they truly regret their actions, apologise and change for the better. I actually love redemption arcs, which is why I've read some toxic stories, but if they never change or apologise it just makes me mad. But this had such beautiful developments.
