Vargoth's Magical Toys
Cute little story about an ugly guy and the super hawt rich powerful guy who inexplicably loves him on the verge of possessiveness in a way that is only sexy in stories. With the background of magic adult toys. It was cute, the sex scenes were pretty good. The story ... besides being an overdone trope, the story was incredibly juvenile. The bad guys weren't bad, the trauma wasn't traumatic. The outline was there, it was the depth that was missing. Could've just been rushed, not sure. The start is well fleshed out and then meh. Also the second couple is super pushed and feels awful. 3️, verging on 4️ Finished 3Sep22
The Devil is DAD and I
3️Pretty ok. Dude wants to live in his favorite game, and he gets to do it, as the demon lords wife. The end is weird, but it is cute enough.
Sword Sheath's Child
Honestly so good, though with a western education I am probably missing some lore that would help tie this together much better. Bira, young man, lead character has made me laugh and cry several times throughout. Each of the characters are a wonderful mix of evil, good intentions, past mistakes, both genders and personal desires. No one is a flat character and you end up trying to understand all of their actions, even when those actions break your heart. The character development is well paced and definite. It is confusing at times but does come together if you power through those moments. I am not sure if the confusion comes from the translation, the method of story telling or my own lack of understanding this mythology. The art is amazing, the style, the character creation, everything. It draws you into a world were all these amazing things are possible. 5️ do your self a favor and read this one. Chp 102 07Sept22, end of the season.
Villain initialization
5️ 156 chps 26 Oct 2024 complete So ... fing ... good, though the translation can be painful at times. ML goes back in time to kill his nemesis (the "good" guy) fortunately neither of the characters are so black and white as good and bad so going back in time causes all sorts of changes to the timeline. Now that his Aunt is alive and he doesn't have a villian's backstory, how will he move forward? Will he still kill his nemesis? Did he create a nemesis too powerful to be killed? All these questions and more can be answered in this completed story. The sense of humor is awesome, the world building is neatly packaged as **shrug** superpowers lol. If this ever gets an official translation I would love to read it again!!
Big Apple
3/4️ complete Sept 2022 I am really not sure how to rate this? Lots os sex, some was good but it really was just most of the story ... sex. The story is about makes and espers and Dragons and clandestine organizations, but you get very little of that because of the whole lots of sex thing. And I thought it would be bdsm, and it comes soooo close but never makes the leap. Feels like the author was trying to pack to much in honestly. It is about a spy sniper ML uke and his journey falling in love with the possessive seme who has secrets of his own.
Trapped in a Webnovel as a Good for Nothing
Moved from updated 4️ Chp 110, Oct 2022 Definitely worth 4️, but the long power up descriptions and unnecessary isekai make it 4 not 5. Otherwise the story, translation, pacing and art are all good. Orphan becomes doctor (we get almost no indication of his previous life other than this) and wakes up as a character from a novel he is reading. He uses the knowledge from the novel to save his life and become OP, but not too OP, he doesn't want to overshadow the MC because it seems like a lot of work to be the MC. He just wants to be strong enough that he cam protect himself. The world is a novel so there are game like powers and power upside (complete with home screen) and dungeons to use those powers in.
Poison Dragon: The Legend of an Asura
Mobed from updated, but may be dropped? 4️ Chp 103 Oct 2022 Good, not great, failed to hold my attention sometimes but very original ideas inside of a pretty standard man v world plot. It is new to have a main character that isn't completely OP. MLs sect is destroyed and the boy has a traumatic young life. Once he is a young man he takes the fragmented pieces he has learnt to attempt to get revenge for his family and friends. The more secrs he takes down, the more people he kills, the more he realizes he may have to kill everyone to correct the corrupt system.
The Strongest Florist
3️ Chp 25 Oct 2022 I really thought I would like this, video game, cute lead character etc. But just can't get into it. I think this is meant for a younger audience.
Monster and the Beast
5️ Chp 22 20 Mar 2024 This is so freaking adorable. I love them so much. Middle aged man likes sex and isn't afraid to enjoy himself. He meets a demon and befriends him, the demon turns out to be very helpful. Both the man and the demon respect eachothers feelings and needs and eventually do the dirty (looked painful tbh). They are being chased down by some equally loveable, though a little righteous who are trying to determine why ML destroyed a bunch of men's minds in the past.
