Chew and Swallow

Complete | Gawee | 2014 released

LOVE the character development and redemption! It's quite a chilling and twisted story at times but also emotional and heartwarming. Taehwa and another dude are real bastards in the beginning and treats poor Minjae horribly, but the way they grow and try to make up for it is gold. Love redemption arcs. The storytelling is superb! Also, please support the author and read on Tapas. You even get free chapters for free!!

Interview with a Murderer

Complete | KJK | 2018 released

Wow really different! I have never read anything like it before. It really mixes BL with thriller. The characters are very dynamic and mysterious. Their interactions are so suspenseful and you can't be sure what they actually think of each other. Clark is very mysterious and kinda shady and even though he's the main character you never really know where you have him. Alex is bubbly and cute so when you get reminded of how he killed his victims and how cold-blooded he can be its quite jarring and conflicting. The other characters are also interesting. I wouldn't say it's very romantic but it fits the story and the relationship development is still great and interesting. The story has a more serious and mysterious air. Also, please support the author on Tapas. You can even get a free chapter every week.

Shounen No Kyoukai

Complete | akabeko | 2016 released

Very mixed emotions about the beginning with the whole raping-and-marking-you-is-the-only-way-to-save-you kinda thing, but it does grow on you. It's though provoking and I like the depth of the characters and how they grow and develop. Most of all I like how they had the fight against sexism and discrimination as a central theme. Not just acknowledging that it's bad, or portraying it as good as long as the main couple is nice even if the rest of society is still rotten, but instead this story has a much larger scale where the whole society starts to become better. The acceptance of rape and sexism is otherwise something I really dislike about many omegaverses.

December Rain

Complete | Kimon | 2017 released

Incredibly sad and quite horrible at times but also heartwarming. Some characters you just love (main characters, good cop, grandma <3) and some you hate with burning passion (bad cop, K, rapist). Honestly it was kinda sad throughout the story and the end was even more tragic, but then the last chapter was balm to my soul. Generally great storytelling although there were some important unanswered questions left at the end. I liked the raw and realistic feel to the story. Interesting and unusual with a tragic, cute and dependent top with the bottom as a sort of caretaker/"saviour".
