Prescription for a Lonely Boy Who Wants Love

Complete | Long Utsumi | 2019 released

Seme is a freeloader who leeches off all the women he dated. Then he met the uke, a plain but sexy doctor with an actual sex addiction. Seme is obsessed with the idea that the uke is in love with his friend but the uke refutes that over and over. Ngl, didn't feel a lot of love in this story for whatever reason and the seme annoyed me cuz he couldn't just accept the uke's word. Also there was a completely unnecessary rape scene. Idk. 4/10

One Step From The End

Complete | pyo ryu | 2000 released

Dropped at ch 30. Wow this is all over the place. The pacing's a mess. The timeline is a mess. We keep going into flashbacks at seemingly random times. The seme turns out to be a possessive creep who's very blatantly manipulating and trying to isolate the uke. Like everyone knows thus butntheyre all going along with it? The only interesting bit about this was the mysterious book which kinda winds up being irrelevant by the end? This story was pretty inchohesive and a little incoherent at times. Also, minor nitpick but why tf did the names change from Korean to English names? That was confusing. Nah this sucked. 2/10

riht.

Complete | Isiki | 2019 released

I... I was confused the whole time. Is there a prequel to this? Did I miss something? There was a lot of poetic...ness in this one that kinda obscured the meaning of... anything? everything? The only way we know theres two characters are in love is because they're in a BL, otherwise I wasnt feeling it. They barely talk ever. Also the MC suddenly brings up their mothers at the end and I still dont know why? I either missed everything or the story sucked at conveying its meaning 3/10 too much poetry

Pairing Names

Complete | Do Mong | 2000 released

That was a bit messy ngl. It was had to keep track of when they swapped and when they didn't cuz the story for some reason just assumed you could tell them apart. The whole plot with the sundae was... well it felt pointless. Them swapping didn't feel like a big deal cuz they didn't explore the actually experience and ramifications. 3/10

The Dog Will Not Give Up Unrequited Love

Complete | Kihara noriko,Shodensha | 2019 released

Uh lowkey no idea what I just read. They sped ran a reencounter unrequited love story for the first half and then a persist pushy seme chasing after the same guy's ass for... apparently multiple months?? years?? Idk theres no build up. Characters react like something dramatic just happened but I dont see the drama in it. This was kinda a mess 3/10

I..... have no idea what i just read. I think it was a coherent story. I just genuinely do not remember a thing about this even though I finished it like 3 minutes ago. The two guys look identical so I lost track of who was who. Even though they're in different field of art, they were both art majors, which just didnt help me differentiating them. No idea what the plot was 5/10?

The Teijo Academy

Complete | Fuyu Natsushita | 2000 released

I really don't get what this story is about. 3/10 for being so confusing half the comments are just people going ???

The Teijo Academy 2

Ongoing | Fuyu natsushita | 2022 released

Last read ch 6. This is the second volume FYI. But even after reading the first, I'm so confused. What is the plot of this? The main character wasn't even in half of this??

Willow love story

Complete | Moscareto, Shu | 2019 released

Completed at ch 49. I'm sorry. This story was so ass. This was an amateur writer's wet dream of an angsty cinderella plot with a Tragedy Sue (Mary Sue but the world hates them) MC. Bad things happen to the MC because he's the main character and therefore special. No one behaves like a normal human. Things happen just for the shock value. At multiple points in time, the MC has extremely damning evidence that in a normal world would completely destroy a company. But because this is a Tragedy Sue, no one is allowed to believe him and now they have to ridicule him just to make him more miserable even tho most human beings with human rationality and human empathy would be like that's fucked up I dont like the idea that my PHARMACY is using a HUMAN BEING to testify you can turn OTHER HUMAN BEINGS into an omega, which in this universe is treated like a REPULSIVE mutation. This is like discovering that Eli Lilly was conducting research that would give people spin bifida??? The fuck?? Also, y'all?? The seme fucking passed the illegitimate rat bastard to a different pharmacy to ALSO use in wildly unethical human experimentation that would 100% be crimes against humanity? And he tells that to the uke, whose ENTIRE life and trauma is about being tortured by a pharmacy? And he tells it like it's a good thing?? And the uke doesn't even react to it?? What the fuck?? What the fuck was this story? Why does it have so many positive reviews? This was fucking bizarre. 2/10
