Dare demo Iikara Daitekukre Uke ni bakari Moteru Bijin Fukukaichou-sama no Junan

Ongoing | Shuichi,Antama | 2019 released

Okay 1) the way they draw muscles reminds me of trilobites, 2) age gap btwn the other couple was mmmmmmmm, 3) yet a other case of BL forgetting bi people exist. .Otherwise, kinda silly and cute but meh for me. Do love the uke being desperate for SOMEONE to fuck him and then realizing hes in love with his roommate. 5/10.

Give Up on Love

Complete | Deer whale,Hae yeon | 2019 released

WARNING: depictions of suicide I.... ???? Okay so maybe I'm just dumb but I didnt understand even half of what happened. Everyone was always yelling and cutting each other off. I think there was one coherent conversation in all of 72 chapters. There was so much back and forth with the two love interests. Okay we want Lucius. Now we want Chance. Now we want Lucius again but Chance wants Henry all of a sudden. Everyone's stories sucked. Nothing was ever clear about who knew what and why and how. This is pretty much everything I hate in a story and holy heck did this DRAAAAAAG. Yeah that's on me for reading it but I wanted to give it a chance and BOY DO I REGRET DOING THAT (‡▼益▼) This was a horrible read and not just because the story was just convoluted, unintelligible drama but also the paneling, pacing, dialogue, art direction, writing--it was a whole mess. 2/10. Might even be a 1/10 if I think too much about it

Nonke Riman No Oredesuga Maiban Himo Ni Aegasaretemasu

Ongoing | Isshiki fuji | 2019 released

Last read ch 6. That ain't a freeloader that's a house husband. But also uke must be making a lotta money to be able to take in a second person no problem like that my mind is stuck on money nowadays lol. Uke is right tho, their relationship is unbalanced. Hope they can work it out. Ch 6. Ah the classic quick fix confession. Feels complete to me with this so dropping it in the read pile unless they post an update or seven. 6/10?

Idk what to say about it. It was cute. They kinda overhyped the uke having a secret which turned out to be pretty... okay. I thought it was gonna be dark or like a sweet "everyone doubts him but he proved them all wrong" or smth but no it was just hes a delinquent kid who's always been in love w the seme. Smut is good. Drama with the ex and secret reveal felt kinda 'hand of the author'y. 5/10

Nichijou Climax

Complete | LONDON Pariko | 2017 released

Alright first of all their landlord Yoshimi is the 10/10. Her selling them that house for a massive discount was super sweet and I love her cranky kindness energy. There were some many complex emotions in this one. The entire plot and character drama revolving around the promises they've made to each other over the years and how some of those promises is just impossible to keep, that was incredible. High 8/10. Maybe if I reread it its be higher?

Father Complex(Shu)

Complete | Shu | 2000 released

Uh. Well tbh not really my kinda plot but it was still okay. Closet gay student is dating his lesbian friend to hide that he's gay. Hes in love with his hot teacher (who's also in love with him but kudos to the teach for being a responsible adult). And then his beat friend is also in love with him. I was rooting for the best friend and it was very sad when he rejected him. Final verdict: 5 or 6/10

Nisemono DK ha Haru wo Uru

Complete | Yoko misumi | 2019 released

Kiiiinda weird they're both into high school boys but hey at least they got over that. office worker who can only get off to high school boys x college guy who's convinced no one will want him unless he's acts as a high school boy. was okay story wise. Of course we have the obligatory attempted rape murder by a third party bc this features a sex worker -_- 4 or 5/10 name on MAL is Ore no Seifuku wo Nugasete yo

The Sound of Your Voice

Complete | hana (하나) | 2000 released

not my jam. trauma plot felt forced. stopped reading at like 5 chapters so i can't really rate it.

Don't Pick Up the Soap

Complete | ripe banana,jungkwon | 2000 released

lmaooooo. a lot happens in this one. guy questioning his sexuality goes to a bathhouse and accidentally signals the experienced virgin manning the front desk and gets fucked. after shenanigans, the two find each other again and fuck a lot more. 6/10 their names Ben Dover and Dick Maximillian or smth it's so frickin funny

Affectionately

Complete | 켐제 (kemje),켐제 | 2019 released

Poorly written story. Cliche af with too many characters that shoved into the story for the sake of uninteresting drama. 2/10 i guess
