i loved it!! i was a bit wary starting this bc i had heard that it was toxic, but personally this kind of story perfectly fit my interests. we had the PERFECT amount of jealousy and angst, props to the fact that there was never a second male interest and jiwon and dg consistently stayed interested in only e/o. the angsty section of the plot was so well done and i was so so proud of dg for standing his ground. i also came to love jiwon even though i honestly disliked him for like most of the first half. dg also gave me SEVERE anxiety bc that mf is just too damn bold and it had me slapping my forehead like every 10 mins. i ADORE the fluff it was so much fun and so cute to see them being all domestic in the side story. the other couple was also cute but the smut kinda wasnt my type. speaking of, perhaps too much smut in the story overall but its okay bc all the scenes of dg being a cutie makes up for it. anyways 10/10 i loved it and im sad its over
Itsuka koi ni naru made
AHHHHHH!! i love them so much im gonna combust. i didnt think there would be a prequel after the other one, but this was so so wonderful i wanna go reread it rn so i can experience it differently now! ugh theyre both so adorable and i LOVE high school/uni love stories so much. i have nothing bad to say, altogether 10/10 :))) also i love this dynamic sm - the soft and expressive top that wants nothing more than to hold their bottom close to them for life, and the somewhat aloof and bad at talking abt his feelings bottom that is just as in love but awkward about it even tho their top always knows what theyre thinking anyways SOB
Kimi ni Ienai Koto ga Aru
hi okay imma be honest this was one of the best bls ive read and the fact that it was so short is CRIMINAL but the way it had such an impact on me with such little content is incredible. this was so fucking great, from the characters to the plot to the structure of their relationship to the art style to the underlying message shared. im in love. ugh, i love kyousuke so much and i relate so much with the mentality of not knowing whether something is "right or wrong" and being too afraid to pursue anything that seems wrong. but hes also everything i want to be, from his self-assuredness and motivation and work drive. hes inspirational but pitiful at the same time. i cried reading this. i only ever cry for long ass works that have time to play w my emotions but this did it for me within the 5th chapter. i loved this so much. i want to read the rest of the authors works if theyre even half this good. ugh. so fucking good. 10/10 literally. the only issue is that its so short. i could read 50 chapters about them and not grow tired. cant wait to reread.
Life Senjou no Bokura
this was so perfect. i fucking SOBBED like a baby reading this. i was in tears the entirety of chapter 3 and 4...my heart was so heavy i could feel my chest growing tight. this was unbearably good. i am so in love and also in so much pain for this story. yuki was the best boy ever and honestly he deserves better than akira but its fine bc that mf realized his mistake. even if yuki did lowkey take him back too easily smh he shouldve made akira SUFFER -__-. anyways i already miss this story even tho it caused me so much suffering i will 100% be reading again, its for sure one of the best things ive read thus far. such a lovely story and i loved seeing them grow old together. i would do ANYTHING to get more of them throughout the years. im thinking of even purchasing this if possible tbh. the symbolism with the white line was so wonderfully childish at first but then became so heartbreaking towards the climax. the last imagery with them disapating in heaven along a line of smoke was so bittersweet. ugh such a beautiful story i loved it to bits. 32982/10

bro . BRO. this is like a fucking 20/10. so fucking good. i think this is my new fav bl. what the fuck. this is incredible. i thought it wouldnt get better than the og story but this is SO MUCH BETTER. holy shit. it had everything. first of fucking all, these are the hottest men i have ever seen. bro this author really does always hit different. anyways - there was some GOOD ASS ANGST. THE BACKSTORY WAS SO FUCKING SAD. minato is a super relatable and great character (and slightly toxic but its due to his upbringing) and it was so great seeing how he developed over the course of the story. shizuma is dare i say the best fucking top i have ever read? hes incredible. i did think he fell in love too quickly but he is so loyal and committed to making sure that he brings out the best in minato and treats his partner like literal royalty. hes perfect. and hes a vet! ugh my dream man. hes bi too so sorry minato ik ur mad insecure abt this but i will go for ur man if u dont want him. hes just so reassuring and understanding i dont understand why men irl arent like this.i get just as possessive as minato, even if i dont have the excuse of a traumatic childhood, so i really do understand where hes coming from. once again confirming my hypothesis that opposites make the best couples. anyways theres a sequel to this so i am excited i cannot get enough of these two. OH BTW THE SMUT. HOLY SHIT ITS SO HOT. LIKE WOWOWOW.
Like a Tidal Wave - from Pheromone Shower
AHHHHH SO FUCKING GOOD. IN MY FAV BLS LIST NOW FS. I LOVED EVERYTHING ABT IT SO MUCH. i didnt even realize how short it really is bc i took like 4 hours to read it sjlfkdj but omg its amazing. i didnt think i would like it this much bc of the art style ig and kinda how the main two hit it off but it really surprised me w how adorable and wholesome their relationship became. they are def one of the cutest and non-toxic, pure couples ive read so far! bc its not super long there isnt any next level misunderstandings or conflicts which is great. we also got to see their wedding AND THEIR BABY. UGH such a fucking good omegaverse. the smut was hot too AND BRO. SWITCHES. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME READING SWITCHES AND WOW. lim went from being such an asshole to a compliant simp LOL. theyre so in love and perfect. i want a relationship like this :,) anyways i loved everything abt this and i def wanna reread sometime. i also used lezhin coins on like 4 chapters which makes this the second series ive spent actual money on. 10/10
Koi wo Suru Tsumori wa Nakatta
this one was really really really good. i finally got my simping uke fix ughhh yes. and jfc hte characters are soooo hot. uke lowkey looks like my ex and seme looks like bokuto. theyre so beautiful pls i literally just read this bc of how attractive the uke is. but theyre both so in love and tho the seme was kinda toxic at first, it was nice to see him desperate and jealous LMAO. the art style is super pretty too. i just found out this is by the same mangaka as golden sparkle so honestly im not surprised at how good it is. probably gonna binge the rest of their works soon.

SO GOOD. ugh idk if it just hit different bc its been a few days since ive read any BL but like WOW so fucking good. the ART IS IMMACULATE. LITERALLY SO BEAUTIFUL. and i always prefer stories where the uke makes the first move or falls in love first. but to have it be so mutual and fluffy was so nice and heartwarming. ugh couldnt have asked for a better story to recharge myself with. also i loved the film club aspects of this too. its making me kinda wanna join film club at uni or be apart of some production. it seems like so much fun even if youre only part of the production on a small scale. ahhhh so inspirational. i wish there was one at my high school i totally wouldve joined. it distracts me from the actual film essay i need to be writing rn lol. maybe i should take advantage of the course and try to learn as much as i can. i mean its a little late rn to be a diligent student but ill definitely learn something as long as i try rn right? hm. okay. i want to be part of a club and community like that. maybe learning all this will motivate me to seek that out? or attract it? if nothing else, itll give me the knowledge to enjoy films in the future on a deeper level. just remember how interesting film studies really are. i analyze movies and shows for fun so why not do it here and get marks for it. yeah. lets go. i got this!
