stressedpenguin's manga / #confusing(21)

i was really confused reading this, whether it was the storytelling or maybe i'm just dumb? idk. 2/10

uh. okay so the smut was good but that whole thing with the friend was weird? like okay so he outed the uke... right? or was that just between them? anyway then he can't like... get over being rejected. but then he accidentally calls while they're having sex... and they answer it??? like idk. i kinda don't like anyone here?? they all suck? it's like they're wrapped up in their own little world and just ignore everyone else like goddamn at least don't answer the phone if you're fucking? and then the friend jacks off to it. Tbh i kinda feel bad for the friend? whatever. I'm a give this 3/10 for being annoying and confusing. idk i did noooot like this one.

didn't get far into this one. was kinda confusing and missing some fundamentals of story telling

uhhhh ngl i don't remember much about this other than it was kinda messed up? the uke feels like... tied to the seme for something and it was really... strange? lotta dependency and lotta not good feelings. 2 or 3/10

Ngl....kinda thought there'd be more to the story and the relationship. Like, I thought the supernatural elements would be more prominent. Honestly the amnesia doesn't even feel that supernatural, just feels like the uke cant remember the seme cuz it's been so long. They also keep saying the seme is some evil spirit but they never show WHY everyone thinks that. He doesn't seem like a spirit at all. Also their relationship seems so... shallow. Idk. Not my story I guess. 3 or 4/10

I'm sorry I was so bored for over half of that. There were all these gaps in logic and story transitions that just left me confused a lot. Like half of what happened with yonosuke made no sense and was never properly explained. It was just like "this is happening" and then "this is no longer happening hope you understand" Also the seme nust rapes the uke at the start and then we immediately put them in a fluffy, domestic, living together scenario? What? There was that whole thing with the other demon who makes trouble at the start, sexually assaults the uke, is forgiven (of course =_=) and fucks off for the rest of the story. They keep presenting new drama, new stakes, that never amount to anything. Everything is resolved by a few panels of filler words and sparkles. This was so lame. 3/10

Okay 1) did the uke in the first story have the power to make roses?!?!? and 2) ch 4 with impersonator bully one was frickin weird. The art is very interesting and I love the designs, but I was confused for a lot of that. The college psychic pair was my favorite, tho the crossdressing one is a close second 7/10. It's a 6 really but the art gives it a boost.

Story felt like a frayed rope being held together at each end. A lot of things happen, like they jump from case to case with very little explanation. 90% of the story is just close-ups on people's faces so it's really hard to get a bearing on where anyone is. Theres a scene where they're rescuing some kid from a building and they have to jump from one balcony to the other... and it never shows us the balcony or the characters mid air. Really weird. The drama was repetitive. One of them will say "don't get hurt'" and then get hurt. Every. Single. Time. Like, it's cute that they care about each other but man, it's so predictable, it's boring. The emotional drama of Miro liking Ian keeps getting interrupted and we also know Ian likes him bc this is a BL so of course he does. There's no question about it and it's not set up well enough so by the confession I was like who cares just get over with. 4/10. It's not bad, just not good and I got irritated reading it

Lowkey confusing but maybe that's cuz I'm dumb. Rape scene felt really unnecessary... Otherwise, this pretty cute 4/10?

Kinda nonsensical and almost disconnected. Also the absurd tone kinda clashed with the quieter moments and characters flip flopped on their meanings all the time. 2 or 3/10
