Last read ch 28. Bounty hunter Callahan just needs to catch 1 more criminal to collect a fat 10 mil pesos (?). His target is Jonny the Scammer, bona fide twink. Tbh there were bits that were pretty confusing. The story avoids going that play by play thing or giving exposition dumps, and generally does a good job presenting the information through visual storytelling and subtler dialogue... That said, there's A LOT happening in this story that divides what little space the story allots for exposition. As a result, it's easy to miss key backstory details (skill issue on my part) and could sometimes be a little unsatisfying? It's unclear for a BIG portion of the story if out Jonny is actually the scammer. He doesn't act like one even for the 1.5 ish chapters he's alone. I was never sold 100% that he's a criminal deserving of arrest. He just seems like some unfortunate guy. I think this actually could have benefited from being longer, having time to explore the characters (and world?) more. But it was still a cohesive, comprehensible story with what it gave us. Also shoutout to the person in the comments for explaining, re:ch 12 that Jonny lied about the timeline to give himself an alibi. I totally did not clock that at all 8/10

Playboy seme encounters a seemingly innocent uke who turns out to be more devilish in bed than he anticipated. He gets a lil pissed off and tries to get back at the uke only to fall in love and also find out they've met before in the past. Personally, I'm not big into "i actually loved you all along" plots. But that's personal preference. We stan an uke who knows what he wants and goes for it, and can also be a cute, shy bean. Relationship was a little spontaneous for me, but I did like the characters so 6 or 7/10

Uhhhhhhh writer gets wildly addicted to sex while tryna learn how to write sex scenes and now it's a pwp There's seriously not much plot so idk how to rate this..... 6/10? It gets kinda scary when she meets the one aggressive dude in the club but is otherwise just a girl fucking around?
