Rivalry

Ongoing | Oryu | 2000 released

9.5/10 I fucking hated reading it It got on my nerves SO much I hated everyone But kept reading cause someone commented smth about amnesia and I got intrigued Suffices to say The amnesia side story was what I least cared for Mc grew on me with time as he matured His bff is amazing, ride or die vibe And the ml... God I HATED HIM...at first lol Well at first I felt he was the only reasonable one Then he got on my nerves and I hated him And then it clicked that he has autism (which was depicted really well, well idk if it was autism exactly but for sure a type of neurodivergence) and it ALL made sense And like he admitted to his flaws, communicated and grew as a person? And AGH he was SO relatable at times, but my autistic ass could never communicate as well TvT And like jeez they went a long way as a couple though I love that they are depicted as "rocky but every fight is an opportunity to grow" Kinda long but really worth the read, the character development was exceptional! Ah Ps. The second couple? As much as I loved ride or die the guy skimping for him was....well I wasn't a fan of him Through most of the story their dynamic or lack thereof was the effing same and I feel like 1.their story did NOT tell WHAT their obstacle to getting together was well, so I got creeped the f out 2.the age difference was...bleh 3.just didn't care like at all for that ship, literally just read their panel to see the ride or die lol

Mistress at a secret base

2000/10 Grief Kota "pretends" to be Tetsu's dead friend Kota is TOO RELETABLE (Having an academically successful brother, while you can't be half as good no matter how hard you try, the disappointment from the parents, hidding his true feelings and being considerate because of it) Anyway it was truly wholesome how hard Kota tried to find the rest of the friends letter after finding out he passed Just a lovely comforting read
