On Doorstep

Complete | Chongtak | 2016 released

omg this was so good !!!! i remember stumbling upon this when i only started to read bl and i didnt really like it (at that time) so i dropped it at ch 2, which i totally regret now bc wtf this was so good idk what i was thinking back then ??? but ig age gaps werent my thing before but holy shit this was so good !!! i mean it wasnt THAT deep of a plot but still i love it the pacing was a bit fast but i never really minded bc it was executed really well ~ i guess reese going back to the force meant that he finally/is slowly getting over his trauma <33 i didnt expect jimmy's puppy personality PLS HES SO CUTE ☹️ i didnt expect him to be so straightforward abt his feelings and i didnt expect that he would realize what he did and apologize profusely, im glad he did ik hes an ex-thief but pls hes so precious i mean he did do those crimes bc no one guided him (but still not making excuses for his actions) so im glad that now reese is there to guide and spoil him ^^ ngl i want to see more of reese with the cop uniform coz fck it looks so good on him !!! i want more extras ㅠㅠ but overall im very satisfied with this <3 the story had depth in it but it wasnt that deep which i liked !! conflicts were resolved well and the development of feelings were kind of questionable HELP just bc idk why reese suddenly fell for him ?? im sorry for assuming but i assumed that he was straight so i was just surprised when he didnt really mind that jimmy was pursuing him like i thought he was gonna deny him and tell jimmy "im a guy" but yea other than that, it was a good story !! i really liked the plot, it was very interesting and i love the redemption arc for jimmy hihi <3 im glad they got together the art looks absolutely stunning too !! a great read ❣

Ii Mon Waru Mon

Complete | Yamada Papiko | 2000 released

this was so unique HELP i was so confused at the beginning bc their personalities kept on doing a 180 helpskdkkd ngl im still confused rn but i liked the plot !! it was so unique and new to me hshahshs theyre both twisted istg i love them i was sus of that senpai but i didnt expect him to be in some drug gang of some sort still a bit confused bc idk whats his motive ??? it just felt so sudden to me or maybe im just dumb and my reading comprehension's laggy :D but overall i liked it !! i wanted more of them though, they didnt get to express their feelings properly so i wanted some extras but it was good <33 the art looks amazing too !!!! good read

Heart O Nusumu No Wa Dare Da

Complete | tateno makoto | 2012 released

this is pretty good <3 the story was cliche but i liked it ik this is not how a typical theif is supposed to look like but im obsessed with their fits the plot was very interesting !! i really like pairings like these bc theres gonna be angst involved though this was a pretty light read, it wasnt that angsty which i liked :> ngl i was so suprised at the scene where kaitou hato and the officer did the it, it caught me off guard i didnt expect it at all anyway i think the story was kind of vague idk why but it just feels like that for me(∵)? overall i have i liked it :D it could've been better if we saw more of them dating but the extra was cute ❣ the art looks pretty too good read !!

Last Portrait

Complete | Honma Akira | 2005 released

i've got to say abt this bc this was so freaking good i didnt really expect much bc of the rating but omfg yall this is so so good !!! this is not your typical bl plot istg ㅠㅠ the angst in both stories im so into it grrrr >< ok so for the first story, i really like arranged marriage plots in general but this was a bit dif from that since yamato is inlove with the guy his sister is arranged to which is so interesting esp how we got to see how their relationship unfolds !! ngl i did already expect that type of scenario leading up to the end but i still really really liked it ^^ the execution of it is so good, i really liked how the author incorporated yamato's love for art as the bridge between him and sakaguchi (idk how to explain it but you'll get what i mean when u read it ) im glad that nobody was hurt in the process and yamato's sister was actually inlove with somebody else as well :D the ending was so freaking cute :( i love them !! ngl i wanted to see more but i was actually satisfied with its ending !! just seeing them happy and living their life without shackles gives me serotonin ok now onto the second couple, omfg i freaking love them ㅠㅠ i think i like them more than the first one just bc it had more plot twists and the amount of angst and tension i felt in the short amount of pages were amazing like i didnt expect that much story in just a few pages !! i was legit gonna cry when narumi confessed bc ik it wont end well and that he'll prolly live in sadness of keith gets executed :( but omg im so glad that it wasnt keith, i had a gut feeling that it wasnt gonna be keith but i didnt expect joerge to be the real culprit like i was legit crying bc i felt kind of attached to him idk why (╥﹏╥) he looked so nice and he felt like some father figure, it was such a shock to me ☹️ anyway im so so happy for narumi and keith they look so cute together >< i just love police bl idk why theres something abt it that intrigues me im so glad that theyre now partners both at work and in their personal lives hihi ^^ i wish we could've seen more of them dating and stuff but overall i was pretty satisfied with the ending !! both stories are a masterpiece as well as the art style i'll prolly reread this such a worth it read !!

December Rain

Complete | Kimon | 2017 released

this is so good !!! literally bawled my eyes out, esp listening to the songs while reading omfg this shit hurt ㅠㅠ if im being honest there wasnt any complicated twists in the plot but i loved it ngl i was taken aback at what suchae did at the beginning bc that was dubcon and idk what he was thinking but ig thats how they relationship started the pacing's fast but it felt natural to me, i felt their love for each other since they only have the both of them <3 the story had some plot holes like we didnt get the full picture of what happened with the murder (1988 dismemberment), we didnt get a clear look at suchae's family situation, we didnt get to see what happened to k and if there was other ppl involved in the murder, etc. but i still felt satisfied with the ending !! im really glad the author gave us a happy ending ㅠㅠ im glad that they found each other once again and are living a happy life together :( i think the part that hurt the most was with the grandma idk why but it hurt a lot ╥﹏╥ i love how the author portrayed the fucked up justice system, it was very accurate !! the funny thing is that i support the good cop but at the same time i didnt want gusam to be caught so i had mixed feelings the plot was very realistic, other author's would've made a way so that the MC and ML wouldn't get caught or write some reasons as to why they didnt commit the murder, but here we saw that they clearly did a crime which they cannot escape so i think the ending was very fitting if they really wanted to be together :( i mean technically it was self defense but of course the police wont eat that shit so ( ̄へ  ̄) overall i love this story, it made me feel a ton of stuff ~ it kept me hooked while reading and i really felt the couple's connection !! the desperation and emotion in every chapter is amazing we didnt get to see much of gusam's personality since he was too traumatized and disheveled but i think hes a caring and sweet person esp when we got to see them at the end :D he seems like a very reliable guy !! as for suchae, hes a sweetheart ^^ i love him <3 he has a very bright and optimistic personality hes very thoughtful and kind, hes precious ❣ i love their dynamic, i wish we got to see more of their relationship in the modern times but im happy with what we got i was actually avoiding reading this bc i dont read that much angst, my heart cant take stuff like this but this is a masterpiece !! a must read :) this shows you what a desperately inlove person would do for their partner :> i love the grandma, shes an absolute angel i hope that they could also see her in the modern times :( really loved this read :D it was hell of a ride it leaves you with the question of what actually happened on September 17, 1988 ?? im glad i got to read this amazing story the art looks amazing too suchae and gusam in the modern world look stunning such a worth read !!
