Samezoku e no sasagemono

Complete | satomichi | 2019 released

smutty and sweet story of one man bridging the gap between two tribes. Pretty good do far Update ch 8. Man I always get nervous when stories like this introduce the equivalent of a european explorer... Update ch 12. Well that ending was.... ehh? Idk I really want into the spiritual ancestry (mythology?? is mythology only for no longer in practice religions??) I think mr. Foreigner was a completely pointless character that created tension for like 1 chapter before becoming a boring sife character. The tension between the tribes kinda just.... stopped being as big a deal, which is a shame. So overall... 6/10

Practiced Liar

Complete | Medamayaki | 2000 released

MC is a psychic who's ability to read minds has ruined a couple friendships. He's not eager to get into a romantic relationship but finds himself falling for the timid freshman who approached him at a club meeting (?). Overall, I thought it was cute. The psychic powers felt almost... unnecessary to the story with how little it was actively used. I know it's a major drama point of the story, but it felt a bit more gimmicky than I expected. Overall 6/10

Eat Me Up, My Husband

Ongoing | Yukiharu | 2022 released

Last read ch 24. Lmao they're so dumb and horny (As a side note, people be acting like it's bad to call out problematic (I hate that word, someone gimme a better one) parts of a story. Ain't nothin wrong with that. Sure dont like, dont read, but you can't stop people from saying hey that's fucked up) Update ch 11. Are they really introducing drama rn? Update ch 24. The longer I think about this the more uncomfortable I get. Starting the *romance* when the seme was literally 5 instead of just the uke thinking the kid is cute and only falling in love after the seme grew up is just not... ita not sitting right with me. Idk I'm getting tired of this one so I'll put it down here :) For what I read... 6/10? Cute horny husbands?

I Didn't Expect a Scandal Like This

Ongoing | Eight hisamatsu | 2022 released

Is the scandal plot a little unrealistic? Ye. But do I care? Only a little . It's a cute, fast paced, self-indulgent fantasy. About an ordinary guy getting fucked raw by a hot celebrity. 6/10 but I had fun

Shy, low self esteem uke x cool seme. I'd call that a meal well made. Does nothing interesting but I still liked it. 6/10

Applause to our ancestor's

Complete | Boomtoon | 2000 released

Initially really liked this but wound up feeling apathetic.... Season 1 reaction: FINALLY an intense, supernatural, shaman mystery with a cohesive plot, complex characters, and good pacing!! Gonna wait till more episodes before I continue Update ch 50. Well that kinda... sucked. The last 20 chapters are just a series of character's jumping back and forth between locations, proclaiming things and then immediately undermining those things, and me feeling frustrated that nothing seemed to have any consequence in the end. To make myself feel better, here a bulleted list of everything I found annoying. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST 20 CHAPTERS: . . . . . . . . >>Characters magically appearing in locations. By that I mean, Eun Cheon will be at the shaman learning place or whatever with Do-Rim. He leaves and runs into the murder mafia guy, gets kidnapped to a random location, and then seven pages later Do-rim just appears. Nothing to indicate how much time has passed, or how Do-rim found them. Like was it forensic investigation? Divination? I would assume divination at this point, but it frustrated me. >>The two ukes getting constantly raped by the incubus fucker right up until the final battle. Eun Cheon is literally half naked cuz the demon was raping him two minutes before Do-rim shows up for the final fight >>Do-rim promising to save Eun Cheon at least twice, and then immediately failing to do so, at least twice. >>The cut away scenes shaman people being like "their fate is inevitable" and "it's doomed, they're doomed" to convince us something bad is going to happen and then none of that happening >>Jeong Mok being REALISTICALLY a traumatized child who just wants to save the only family he's ever had in his life but NARRATIVELY really fucking stupid and frustrating. Mr. Murder Brother was really fucking noble resisting the incubus and suffering to keep everyone else safe, and Jeong Mok undermines ALL of that. >>The conflict ending with a Deus Ex Eun Cheon's Mom. This whole story has centered around DO-RIM's ancestors and DO-RIM's powers even when Eun Cheon was technically using them. Like, it's DO-RIM's family the incubus has a grudge against. We've built them up as something formidable, especially the Divine General. And then they all just die in one sword swipe in a single chapter and Eun Cheon's ancestors pop out of his ass to save the day. First 30 chapters are an 8/10. Last 20 chapters are a 4/10. Overall score... 6/10?

Usotsuki Omega ha Sakaraenai

Lowkey took me longer than it should have for me to realise they were teachers . Cute lil cliche story with a bit of rushed drama. 6/10

Our Gamble in Bed

Ongoing | Fujimine Shiki | 2000 released

Another cute, low self esteem uke x confident, hot seme. They're very sweet. Uke has a grudge against the seme for being perfect but he just is 6/10

How to Capture the Heart of a Lonely and Deceptive Man

Complete | Ogami | 2022 released

I'm not sure I understood the story . Uke seems to have hangups about being in a relationship for reasons that ate never explored. He agrees to a temporary fuckbuddies relationship with the same while he's contracted to work on the seme's office. Once that ends, he dips but the seme is successful in convincing the uke their relationship will last. Other than the initial dubcon sex because the uke is drunk, their sec is consensual which is a win. I don't have much to say about this opinion wise cuz I didnt understand... most of it. Uhhhh 6/10? Might have been a 7?
