Two childhood friends mutually and unknowingly manipulate each other into a...romantic relationship. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Okay that turned out surprisingly wholesome??? They actually talked it out and the seme apologized for being a manipulative jerk? I was not expecting that. 6/10. Normally this kinda twisted melodrama annoying the crap outta me but this one turns out surprisingly good O_O

Last read ch 4. Ch 1-3: Seme moves next door to his childhood crush and discovers his grumpy lookin crush wants to be fucked in the ass. Hmm. The seme really just forced his feelings on the uke and had acted like they're exclusive when the uke has very explicitly rejected that. I know at the end it's oh it's okay because the uke is actually in love too but that just does sit well with me. Ending was real cute tho Ch 4-5: Anxious uke befriends. the popular seme who actually cant handle girls. Seme pressures him into jacking off together. Its framed cute but he DID pressure him even after saying he doesnt like when girls come on to him... so... I mean, it didn't seem THAT bad, but just kinda irked me the whole time? Overall 4/10 for annoying me I guess

Did anyone actually like each other in this? Not even romantically just like in general?? Hangyeol seemed to hate Suho, or at least see him as just a nuisance. Like??? Were they actually friends for 13 years cuz it sure didnt feel like it (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ Why wouldn't you talk to your best friend you have a crush on about big life events??? ლ(☉益☉ლ) And what was the point of having that other guy exist if he was just gonna disappear and contribute nothing? This was too short and kinda did nothing and I kinda didnt like anyone even if they looked pretty. Shoutout to the moms tho 3/10 for being frustrating

Dropped at ch 1. Well that escalated quickly. (I say that as most BL doesn't) Another childhood friends that are secretly in love with each other and also very dumb and they have sex to graduate from virginity I've read enough similar stories that I don't feel like continuing. Uke is a dumbass airhead. Seme is an expressionless cool guy and is pretty manipulative. -/10, cant really rate but that first chapter gets a 4/10.

Ahiru no Oujisama (Kazao)

Story 1: Average guy's old classmate-- who's had a major glow up from chubby kid to prince--is now his new, more popular coworker. Average guy days he was only nice to the seme because it made him feel superior, but tbh for a kid in elementary school that's genuine kindness. Kids are pretty self centered at that stage so it's good that helping someone else makes him feel good about himself. Average guy has been kind all along Story 2: uhhh I gotta come back cuz I've already forgotten but i remember it was good! 6 or 7/10

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
