Kakumei no α

Complete | Kashima Kotaru,KASHIMA Kotaru | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★★ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this is by far one of the most interesting omegaverse plots that i've read so far ♡ the plot had conflicts but it wasn't annoying and love still prevailed which is just *chef's kiss* tbh i overlooked the fact that they're step brothers bc i just love their dynamic, the alpha x beta pairing and the fact that maurice was the uke it's a very refreshing pairing ^^ i really got attached to them <33 i love the fact that instead of despising claude, maurice took him in and joined forces with him bc he knew that claude had his reasons as to why he did what he did ^^ i also understand why simon did that which is why i'm not really mad at him or anything, hes a selfless person and he just loved maurice so much so that he was really ready to give him up for the sake of letting him achieve his goals :< i rarely put reviews/comments now, but i just really liked this one both the plot and the art style are amazing esp for an omegaverse one, i really enjoyed this <33 i also liked the extra, it was cute and hot >< this was a great read !!

Erv

Complete | Sera | 2018 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ okay i was so shocked at how promiscuous herve (alvie) was lol he was so strict, gentle, and stern in the main story that this was like a gap moe i'm not complaining though i mean ig there was a teaser of it towards the end of the first book's extra~ i rated this five (5) stars bc i enjoyed the read, it was pretty fun and ig the ending was cute too <3 but i have a lot of questions tarjel ??? like is he just gone ??? also if tarjel didnt mention anything abt yuri (uriel), herve would've agreed to doing it with him ???? i mean ig herve and vadis weren't official yet but still that made me kind if :0 but i'm glad they officially got together ^^ i love how ald calls herve "father-in-law" pls they're so adorable ㅠㅠ i absolutely adore yuri pls my ball of sunshine, hes so precious back to the main couple, if we think abt it the pace of their relationship was so slow since they've already been together (not official) for three (3) years :O thats so long lol and they only progressed bc of this incident jshdhhd the plot for this spin-off was quite simple and short than the main story, but i still liked it !! there were vague and unanswered parts but it was still enjoyable :D i wish we could've seen more of them after officially being together bc everything happened so fast and it just ended abruptly without an extra but i was still quite satisfied with it ^^ the author's art style got better as well, i feel like the characters' features got more defined they're all so pretty pls, i cant help but appreciate even tarjel's visuals also i wanted to see more of prince mandeek, i was expecting him to have an appearance and also have some progress with sheena (the teacher on the first book) but ig bc the plot focused more on the conflict and it was also quite short that the author didnt have the time to include them :< but overall i still had fun reading this ^^ this was a good read !!

Gorani Jeon

Complete | Chychy | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ ik my rating is not in line with my overall rating but i have to say this was pretty cute and i just wanted to give it 5 stars hehe ^^ though the plot was meh and nothing made much sense but it was still pretty cute <33 ran is such a precious ML and bau is an adorable MC >< their baby is so freaking adorable i just had to give it a perfect rating ㅠㅠ but if i'm being technical this wasn't the best :> but it was still okay :)) i think the art carried it since if it didn't have a good art style i prolly would've ditched reading it lol (´~`;) i solely read this bc there was a baby and i'm a real sucker for mpreg esp when the author lets us see the baby D': so yea i just had to ㅠㅠ anyway i don't really have a lot to say abt this since the plot was very light, straightforward, and comedic ^^ the pacing was fast as well since it only had a few chapters, but i must say for 20 chapters i think it was actually better than i thought :)) the art style's gorgeous the mountain and tiger gods were adorable i liked them too ♡ there weren't much drama except for the first part, but it was solved immediately and it wasn't annoying so props for that ~ this was an adorable and okay read !!

Matsuyoi no Oni

Complete | Fumi tsuyuhisa | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i had a hard time rating this bc i was thinking to myself that if this story had a different art style i think i wouldn't like it as much jsjkdjsj i mean it was good, but i think the plot was still lacking esp the ending :> i wanted to see more of their development since they didn't really get to express their feelings properly to each other ^^ i think the plot was unique i just wished there was more to it hehe~ i didn't understand much how minoru's soul suddenly ended up with tomoe the whole scene that led up to there was kind of confusing for me but maybe that's also just my reading comprehension anyway about the couple, i think they ended up being cute esp at how clingy maru became >< their didn't feel toxic at all since maru didn't force maru into it since minoru himself was the one who made the deal ^^ though maru did lie abt the ways for him to feed lol which makes me think that he was probably already attracted to minoru since the beginning the growth of their feelings felt quite natural so i got attached to them~ also zashiki is an adorable babie <33 overall i think this was a good one just a little bit lacking but i still enjoyed it !! i'm absolutely obsessed with the art style pls literally one of the bests out there >< i liked their dynamic too ^^ they have humor and cuteness <33 i love maru's duality when it comes to minoru :D he's like a babie following him but when he gets protective he suddenly becomes intimidating and scary i love him ❣️ he always complains but he still follows maru >< i also like his dog form it's very unique looking~ i wish we got to see more of minoru with maru in dog form hehe :)) anyway this was a good read !!

Itoshiki Ningyo

Ongoing | Hijiki | 2019 released

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ i really wanted to rate this 5 stars but the plot was a bit predictable like it was your typical kidnapping the MC while threatening him and suddenly the ML will save him something like that :> also i just find the scene where mikagi brings umi to azuma very uncomfortable bc that was like attempted forced rape lol but as the story went on their development got better and mikagi genuinely feel for umi <3 i also love the connection they have esp with their own personal "flaws" that they now see as their reason to live >< this is probably one of my faves when it comes to the ending bc i really felt the emotions on the last panels for chapter 5 ♡ it had a heartwarming end >< umi is such a precious babie <33 i will protect him with all my life pls >< his mermaid mark didn't even look that bad he didn't deserve the hate and pain :(( i love how mikagi constantly compliments him and says that hes very cute & pretty ㅠㅠ mikagi is a good ML though the first part (the scene i mentioned above) was really unnecessary but he turned into a good ML so yea i ended up liking him <33 azuma seems like a nice person too for helping them ^^ nishiki and kuro are the cutest >< i love their contrasting personalities~ they're such good guardians, very cute & funny too overall this was good ^^ i liked the unique set-up since i haven't read that much mermaid themed bl esp a mermaid paired with a shaman (i think thats what mikagi is ??) their pairing was very interesting and they ended up being a wholesome and adorable couple the pacing was a bit fast for me but i still felt their connection and how their feelings grew so i still liked it ❣️ the conflict was meh, pretty overused concept but everything ended well and justice was served so i'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out <33 i really wish umi being pregnant was real though >< but they're still pretty adorable so its fine hehe~ i'm glad that they now can happily live far from the main village (not that far) i really love how mikagi's tattoo turned out !! its so pretty esp with nishiki and kuro at the back pls the art style is pretty in general hehe ❣️ this was a good read !!

Aien Catharsis

Complete | Ohshima Kamome | 2000 released

another masterpiece from this author omg !!! they always serve deep plots mixed with lots of fluff >< ryuuji's past was so dark and traumatizing but kondou and ryuuji's budding love was just adorable and sweet i really love this dynamic pls innocent, blunt, and emotionless ML while the MCs outgoing and bubbly but has a dark past hidden waaaa its so good~ esp having it in a historical setting pleaseeeee !!! i'm glad that ryuuji finally gets to move on and leave everything that was pulling him down (´ω`) the pacing was like a mix of slow burn and fast progression but it works out well like i still felt their connection and i just love them okay ㅠㅠ overall this was such a good one !!!! the plot was unique bc of their pair up (never encountered a chauffeur x master dunamic yet hehe) but the whole journal thing too idk most master x servants type have red flag masters but its different for this one ^^ they were really fluffy and close with each other <33 i wish we got to see more of kondou's past though like idk we didn't really get much info abt him so thats that but i also wanted to see more of them after going to tokyo but the extra was cute :> i'm glad to see them settled in and happy ❣️ the art style of this author is literally one of my faves !!! i love it so much its so perfect for my taste i also love their other work pls i cried ㅠㅠ this was another masterpiece for them !! i hope they make more books this was a great read <33

Haunted by Desire

Complete | penguin | 2000 released

omfg idek what to say PLEASE I CAN'T MOVE ON FROM THIS ㅠㅠ it was so freaking good :')) my emotions went on a rollercoaster ride bc of how intense this was it had everything from supernatural to wholesome to more drama and angst :'DD but don't worry it ends really well !! might be one of my favorite endings (╥﹏╥) i just want to scream and rant about dohui PLEASEEEE this man needs to get more appreciation !!!! i must admit it was very red flag of him to make that deal with the ghosts but i mean the man was in love and we all know what love does to you :'> but the important thing is he atoned for his sins by protecting seongjae from all harm, staying with him until his last breath, waiting for him to get reincarnated for more than 2000 years LET ME REPEAT THAT 2000 YEARS (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `), after that he waited for another 20 years and finally he got to hold seongjae in his arms :')) like i can't stop thinking abt how hard that must've been, to see the love of your life die and to wait for him for hundreds of centuries until he gets reincarnated + he didn't remember their old memories :'< i think that was enough punishment for what he had done in the past and i really commend him for that >< he's up there in my green flag list, literally raised my standards for everyone :'> i have a lot more to say esp with how he treats seongjae, the little things he does for him ㅠㅠ he always pays attention to the smallest details and he always prioritizes him above everything, even his own life i can write a whole ass essay abt dohui but imma just keep it in my heart :DD i admire their relationship, the mutual pining in the beginning was a bit frustrating bc of course i just wanted them to confess to each other but it had the right pacing so i had no problems with that ^^ they had great communication and there wasn't any misunderstanding, drama whatsoever between their relationship which is why i'm just obsessed with what they have >< seongjae is a ball of sunshine, very precious and i just love him :(( they both care for each other and you can really feel how much they love and treasure each other ㅠㅠ tbh i have a lot more to rant abt their relationship but i still have more to talk about so i'll be moving on to the next couple hehe~ so for sooyeon and beom, tbh their relationship from the historical era was not that appealing for me bc i'm not into that kind of dynamic esp with its incestuous side to it, but i still did get attached to them esp when sooyeon was already a ghost and all :> their modern relationship was still a bit disturbing bc they did have an age gap and they were yet again siblings but the difference is that beom was adopted so they were not really related and he also went to the states to study so they didn't grow up together but idk something abt step siblings and age gaps makes it kind of disturbing for me esp when they're both present in one relationship but i still liked their story so it was fine :)) lastly, the king and joohwan, tbh i wanted them to end up together but i think the king deserved that treatment bc he took joohwan for granted :(( i think that's the punishment that he'll be going through for the rest of his ghost life lol but i mean maybe modern joohwan would end up getting feelings for him at some point we'll never know~ but i do like their dynamic, they have a fun and chaotic dynamic i love it overall this was such an amazing read !! literally in love with everyone and their stories <33 i absolutely love the ending for all couples esp with our main couple of course >< dohui deserved that so much esp with how much he had gone through ㅠㅠ i'm so happy that he won't experience seeing seongjae die before his eyes knowing he can't go with him afterwarda :')) i'm legit just so happy for them bc they can finally rest and live happily without any ghosts bothering them (´ω`) i also love the new king of the underworld >< he's very classy and kind ^^ i also love how sang-il was a part of the gang and how he also got reincarnated as seongjae's best friend (╥﹏╥) ugh idk what more to say, this was a masterpiece !! <33 definitely worth to binge ^0^ the art style is immaculate !! every single one of them are gorgeous i'm obsessed and in love with all of them this was such a worth it read !! i also recommended this to my friends and even ranted abt it on twitter bc they deserve the recognition ❣️
