At the End of the Road
this was alright. i dont really love the main couple tbh. also the plot seemed just a bit messy. like the motivations behind each character werent really fleshed out that well. siwon falling for siwoon was paced well but siwoon was so absolutely shit at communicating abt anything, even when siwon would ask multiple times. tbh every character other than siwon was kinda awful. i also love taemin, like the og taemin, sm i really wish there couldve been more of him. he was so hot too, literally hotter than the actual seme. also smth that felt so unfufilling to me is that the siwon who commit suicide never got justice. yes they got that recording of his piece of shit brother confessing but the fuckers who raped him never paid for it and his death was wholly meaningless. a fucking person died and no one even mourned him. he was so nice and sweet to everyone too. thats ... really messed up i dont like that. even the main good guys in the story didnt give a fuck abt him. my fav part of the entire thing was seeing taemin beat up siwons bullies and create a hardass reputation for himself, that was great. anyways yeah this was pretty meh. 6/10

Timeless melody
fuck. ive been in tears for the last two chapters. this is so ... upsetting. i cant stop thinking abt how short life really is. its so short yet we deprive ourselves of the things that truly make us happy for the sake of others and society's perception of us. god its so fucking unfair. im not even part of this minority group but my heart sobs for anyone who has been in this situation. they grew old and had their own lives but still loved each other even after all those decades. god. its so painful. minseok never got married or had his own children. he waited his entire fucking life. ugh. UGH. i hate this so much. it was so happy and cute for so long that the last couple chapters hit me like whiplash. life is so fucking fleeting. damn i didnt think that id have an existential crisis before noon today. this is why it hurts sometimes looking at old people; wondering what regrets they have, those they had to leave behind, the thoughts that have lingered in their minds for longer than ive lived. its just too sad. i feel like i need to live my life to the fullest while im still young and in my prime. fuck. anyways. this was really really good. it kinda phased me for a bit bc it is quite literally based on vkook - you cannot argue that it isnt, ive read far too many ao3 vkook fics to know all the cliches - but i got over it at some point and started getting absorbed in the story. old timey stories always kinda hurt bc they make me realize how quickly life can pass by. anyways minseok is the loveliest person ever and i hope he lives a very long and happy life even after all this and they are reunited in their next lives and are able to get together openly in uni and say they love e/o proudly. :,) 9/10 oh god im back bc i just played the song unchained melody and read the lyrics and im stupid for kinda skimming over them while reading but i see all the connections now sob, this is so much more painful now.

this was good but felt suuper short damn. i wish we had more development w their relationship since the confession scene was so like, casual, i guess. the uke is cute and ugh it wouldve been nice to see him fall more in love w the seme. basically i just want more romance. maybe a quick jealously ploy wouldve been nice. the whole studying and ranking first place aspects were very nostalgic and kinda make me wanna get up and start doing work rn. the art style is super pretty too. overall pretty good, just wish there was more - 8/10
Gunjou no Subete
i LOVED this one. nagisa furuya strikes again bro. i think this might be my second fave of hers after the film enthusiasts one! i really wish there was more bc i ADORE the the characters and their dynamic. the seme in this is one of my absolute fave types. its like hes desperately in love but he respects his partner so much and wants the best for him so he'll never put his own feelings first by confessing and making them uncomfortable. hes calm and cool-headed and this is exactly what allows the uke to realize his own feelings. ugh theyre both so into each other i love it sm. she should really write more of this. no surprise kisses or unwanted advancements, just super pure and consented. the uke is the one who kisses the seme first too!!! sob so good. fav fucking trope. 9/10
Number Call
ugh im sad bc this is the last unread series of nagisa furuya i had left :,). this one was alright. i think it mightve been her first series. i liked it enough but i guess its just a lil bit forgettable? overall a good read tho!
