The Good Teacher
OK, Overall I loved this. Character, art, story. Brilliant. My one and only issue is the extra number 3. I understand it for plot purposes, I even think it's well written, shown as proper role play between two consenting adults, has an adorable reaction by poor innocent Hojun at the end, and they even explain the prep for it after the fact so that Hyung wasn't hurt.... BUT it was a rape fantasy. It gives me very mixed feelings, mainly because of how well written it was, and how it was showing them exploring different things they may or may not like. But, I'm never a fan of it. So if you're triggered by such things, you can skip it. Saying all that, everything else in this series is amazing. And I can't wait to for Abyss to have more chapters, as I look forward to seeing how the author tackles darker subject matters.

OK, I struggled a bit with Jinwon's character at the beginning. Not because he wasn't well written, but because I couldn't decide if DG should be with him. He made some shitty decisions and I was torn because I understood why, but at the same time I wanted DG to be happy. However, once Jinwon started to address his issues and grow I was like. I want to give him a second chance, I get what fucked him up and he's doing his best here. And he's written with enough self-awareness that it works. Chinwoo and MD are written really well, and Chinwoo is a great "Confident" character, well rounded while still able to support DG. I love this authors work as a whole, and I truly think it should be supported in any way possible!

Errm... Semi gives off "Creepy Hyung" vibes... and while it ends nicely it doesn't really feel like it earned it. Sex was essentially assault and Semi doesn't know what "Stop" or "No" means. Wasn't overly impressed, but the art was nice? And I've seen more offensive works so... Eh?

This was so cute, so full of fluff and angst. And I'm sorry, but we all need a friend like Nakajima? I adored him so much as character. I struggled a little with the power dynamic between the love interests. Saying that... Shin Sensei is actually a decent guy under all that flirting. And takes the situation far more seriously than what first appears. I would very much recommend this one.

TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR RAPE. As long as both can consent, age gaps aren't an issue for me. And this was such a sweet story! Little bit worried that Uke believes Semi's story about rape conviction straight off the bat... but I get it for plot purposes. (Please be more wary IRL people). NGL, seeing someone attempting a rape being fucking karate kicked in the head was VERY SATISFYING! Characters are lovely and the issues raised were dealt with really well. From both sides of it, from the perspective of a survivor, and from someone wrongfully convicted. A good read, but please only do so if you think you can deal with some of the subject matter.

This is a very funny story that plays on the idea of getting revenge. It kinda flops on that point, but ends up being a fun comedy about a stubborn Uke and light hearted Semi.
