Escape Journey

Complete | OGERETSU Tanaka | 2015 released

Dropped at 6. Fully intended to finish this but took too long coming back and now I have no motivation. Update ch 6. I like complicated histories and messy feelings and characters being bad at communicating their feelings and learning how to, but they kinda just glossed over that they seme raped the uke when he got jealous and insecure and generally used sex to make himself feel better about their relationship. That's a bigger problem than just.. poor self expression

Suzutsuki Neko wa Nyao to Naku?

Complete | NANAI Taka | 2014 released

Very cute domestic fluff, not a whole lot happens tbh, but that's not a bad thing. We dont get too deep into either character's personality and theres very little if any drama. 4 or 5/10. Felt like a lit of fluff with not much substance for me. Wasnt in the mood for this kinda story so maybe being a bit harsher than usual

I read this forever ago so I don't remember THAT much. Very shojo-esque. Seme was very mean. Seme's uncle is weird. Drama. 4/10?

Calorie

Complete | Sakuragi Yaya | 2002 released

Childhood friends, light smut, meh, college students,multiple stories, high schoolers, light drama, unrequited love Uke has been in an unrequited love with his childhood friend for 15 years. When he finally decides to give up, his other childhood friend suggests they go out. Y'all... sorry, these guys have all been friends for 15 years but they barely know anything about each other??? That kinda made all their relationships super shallow, like they only care about each other once romance has been introduced. Idk 4/10

Ch 1-2: delivery workers get curious about gay sex Ch 3-4: a different pair of delivery workers start going out Ch 5: omega tops an alpha Ch 6: guy meets his childhood idol, former wrestler, and lowkey rapes him 4/10 for me on this one

Owaranai Yujou to Katakoi-ron

Complete | Miwa | 2019 released

Hmm. I dunno, both character were pretty frustrating to me but I cant explain why. Also, this is just a personal gripe, but I always get frustrated with mooches but at least Misaki can do housework 4/10, nothing really wrong with it, it just irked by and I cannot explain why

Misekake Oresama-kun

Complete | AZUMI Tsuna | 2017 released

Fluffy uke had been in love with this guy from high school and even followed him to the same college. Because of reasons, they become sex friends and the uke tries his darndest to be the seme's friend. Then the seme's shitty ex from the past shows up, does some mental damage and inadvertently solves all their problems Kinda... sucked? 4/10

two size, too small

Complete | Mizore | 2000 released

That... somehow felt like a whole lot of nothing. There's so much fluff that it feels like the story had no meaning. I dunno. Uhh the brother sucked and everyone else was generically nice? That's about the extent of my feelings on this I guess. 4/10

Two guys wash up on a deserted island that actually isn't deserted. Uke doesnt want to fall in love. Seme is very persistent. Uke falls in love. They get rescued. End of story. 4/10

Last read ch 7. Lmao this is just pwp. The title is even like a porno. They achieved the goal in like ch 2 so. Update ch 4. Seme got some messed up philosophy. People arent test subjects. They're people. If you really don't want to interact with humans go be a hermit with a garden? Update ch 7. I've completely lost the plot and I don't really wanna reread to figure out that it was. That ending was meh? Fine? Kinda cute but my notes say something else was up? 4/10 I guess, I'm calling it here
