Bright Light Sprout

Complete | Ichikawa Kei | 2000 released

Okay, so I like this a lot, one of my favorite sensei's. And that the focus is on him giving kindness and care while trying to show service is not something that is ever required as gratitude. Now if only he could get across that should be saved for the special ones you love. His past was just a blip in the story but was so damn heartbreaking for this cinnamon roll and his family. It's a really good story, but i wish they hadn't gotten swept away with the mood and just left it at kissing at most. I think he taught him what love should feel like but it was such an emotional situation it wasn't right since he was the adult. I'm glad he left when he did and it ended that way. Thank the lord he was rescued.

My Suha

Complete | Chahyun | 2019 released

Definitely an S that boss is super possessive. I would rather see the hyung and him get together. Gosh I hope this ends okay. Thar relationship turned kinda bad fast. Oh wow, it did a real 180 and I approve, its mutual and he does seem to care for him genuinely. I wonder what the back story is. Also his older brother seems like a clear villain, I’m sorta dreading seeing what make him such. Okay I did a reread and there has been some clear character growth of both jiwoon and suha. The themes are really quite established and run throughout the whole story, i didnt remember at all. Jiwoon is most definitely possessive and always has been but he dialed it back and really started to put his heart out there while trying his best to be considerate of suha's feelings. I really like how he asks questions and clears up any misunderstandings. This has been a long unrequited love for him and just wants him all to himself. I dont think he has experienced much love before so he's learning and trying to keep him safe. And suha is my fav type of character he knows what he likes and takes it and i love how he always stands up for himself. Though i do think he puts himself in harmful situations when he should ask for help. I'm not looking forward to the horror that might await us with the unresolved cousin but i really hope these two work out and can come to place of equality and hea. Holy crap, maybe suha will finally see whats happening. He's trying to isolate you alone by cutting off everyone so you're only "his". That is so scary. And now that the danger from red is gone, it's gonna come to light. How exactly are they gonna recover from this i wonder? I see, so thats how it all wrapped up huh? Interesting... i dont know what to feel. It feels so sudden. But they made up and are now honest i guess. So I guess its happily ever after...

A good story but painful. It's not easy but they tried to the bitter end.

Kono Koi ni Mirai wa nai

Complete | MORIHASHI Bingo,SUWARU Koko | 2000 released

Not a love story but a story of acceptance with lots of growing up. I was hoping for a much happier end than I received.

Nigai no Theme

Complete | ABE Akane,Abe Akane | 2016 released

I'm rereading this in 2021 and I feel the same in that I'm not sure how I should feel about it at all. I guess I'm mostly sad for all the heartbreak within the story. But the end was positive and showed them moving forward despite it all. Rather than the ending being too rushed I think the beginning of his cheating makes no sense. I dont understand why he slept with him to begin with...though perhaps he was just charmed by him and it was on impulse. Cause he (the club leader) was a really good guy until the very end. I think he fell to lust and couldn't stop despite knowing what he was doing was wrong. I think this a good portrayal of taking a relationship for granted and following urges that don't really match your heart. Because I do think that he still loved Arata the whole time, but also knew that if he kept up this dalliance sex may turn into feelings. I'm quite surprised about Arata wanting to stay with him but I'm also impressed by his love for na-chan. And I do think the violence was something out of his nature and very unlikely to repeat itself. But its all so heart wrenching that he was pushed to that breaking point, that Na-Chan accepted it as love and forgave him for it. Its all so sad that it escalated to those heights. This story is really quite heartbreaking. I felt sad even thought it ended happily...it was rushed and unresolved. I’m mixed. There wasnt enough time for me to forgive either of them. The senpai was really good person that I can say certainly, I hope he gets his own happy ever after. Should those two be together? I was so hopeful in the beginning too, now i could understand a slap, but beating him like that is... :( I do think someone can learn and come back from it, and never do it again, but only after much help and healing. And i do believe he loved him, but it wasnt enough to stop him from seeking his own pleasure with someone else. I dont think they can return, but i do appreciate the attempt at a mature retrieval. It just didnt get there for me. It was an interesting plot and characters, its just needs more.

Kajitsu (HACHITA Abe)

Complete | HACHITA Abe | 2019 released

It ended quite sweetly, good for them. Love the art. The brothers of it all was a bit to my dislike, but beyond that it was a nice angsty read.

My Starry Sky

Complete | Star Candy Planet | 2000 released

They waded through that pool of past trauma into each other's hearts. What a journey for those two. Skyler really did a 180 when he found out the truth, it was like who whole axis was shaken with the reality of how much his mom manipulated them. I feel so sorry for him, he deserved better.

Stigma

Complete | Marloong | 2000 released

This was such a dark and deep story of abuse and the ways it consumes and changes a person so that they are able to survive. Thank goodness Boris reached out and saved Sehyun that first night, he was barely able to get away. And what was the point of that final attack? Like wtf? I hope he was finally able to talk to him about it, it was so sad. Why did we need that after he finally escaped and was living like he always wanted. It was so sad that moment. I love borris' family, they were such a huge help to them both.

A Link Between Relationships

Complete | Chelliace,What | 2019 released

Dang, that brother is so sly, he's manipulating everything like a true pro, its quite scary. He does seem to truly care for wooseo but why cant he compete with jiseok more honestly, huh? Jiseok if you arn't honest your dear wooseo will be completely stolen away. I mean jigeon clearly has the favor he's his literal fated pair so why he got to be so sneaky and all? Like does the lil bro even really have a chance with that in play? Even if he loves him? Ahh, love triangles are so angsty. I really want jiseok to be playing on the same level soon, please man up and confess. He did and nothing has changed...it actually got worse with the seediness. He's so dang underhanded and intense, im pretty sure big bro is the victor and im not happy about that...

Crash Into Me

Complete | Re-run | 2019 released

Neighbors meet and fall in love. What starts out as curiosity and lust transforms into concern and love. Sungchan's love and urgings convince his hyung to be together and not to stand for this punishment and abuse anymore. Full of smexy scenes and lovey dovey moments when they get together.
