Mnng. It's alright. I normally praise new uses of old tropes but like, rape's rape and that's shit no matter how many """"twists""" you put on it. Yeah dubious consent is a thing, but you gotta ask, this ain't 50 Shades, esp. when we're in the POV of the character that got raped, 'cause guess what! Then even 50 Shades beats you out. The rest is fine I guess but it was really dragged down by that
August Monster
Interesting! Don't often see a love that gets that confused. It was rather uncomfortable and I like it for that reason haha
Pinup Boy
It's so close to saying something interesting.......so close The con is basically nonexistent, great /s, the art is still lovely, and it honestly is very close to trying to have a point outside of PWP but it just can't quite stick the landing. Well, I've read things that better explore masculinity and sexuality so whatever I guess lol
Kimi To Date
It's fine. As always, I love an older bottom, it's just a bit short with all the info crammed in. Could've used another chapter or two to see its trajectory to the end
At The Guidance Room
Teacher/student relationship, which I'm not crazy about on the basis of pedophilia, plus since it's a oneshot it's pacing is bad lol
Touma-kun
This is such a sad story :'( It's drawn like it's not but it is, except that one chapter that pulls back the curtain
Kabeana Money Hole
So many sad stories why! Talk about a confused boner on this one, it didn't even try to lampshade the sexual abuse/titillation problem that runs rampant, it went whole hog on both of them, geez. I feel like with some tighter writing it might actually have a chance of being solid, but as it is it's mostly just shaky premise with an interesting theme. I like the Manager and the actor quite a lot
Kabeana Gossip Star
Who would attack a kid who hasn't consented and then follow that up with being surprised that he would cry
Jouzetsuna Yubi
There's some serious ableism and victim-blaming in this one, which just kinda coloured the whole thing with a bad taste, too bad because the artist is excellent as usual
