Last read ch 4. Ayo dont leave me hanging??? Also the art goes so hard for this like hot damn I thought this was gonna be a pwp but we got plot, drama, and FEELINGS happening in here Update ch 4. Lol ok maybe I set my expectations a *bit* high. Still good tho

interesting. one of my first yaoi. 5/10

Initially really liked this but wound up feeling apathetic.... Season 1 reaction: FINALLY an intense, supernatural, shaman mystery with a cohesive plot, complex characters, and good pacing!! Gonna wait till more episodes before I continue Update ch 50. Well that kinda... sucked. The last 20 chapters are just a series of character's jumping back and forth between locations, proclaiming things and then immediately undermining those things, and me feeling frustrated that nothing seemed to have any consequence in the end. To make myself feel better, here a bulleted list of everything I found annoying. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE LAST 20 CHAPTERS: . . . . . . . . >>Characters magically appearing in locations. By that I mean, Eun Cheon will be at the shaman learning place or whatever with Do-Rim. He leaves and runs into the murder mafia guy, gets kidnapped to a random location, and then seven pages later Do-rim just appears. Nothing to indicate how much time has passed, or how Do-rim found them. Like was it forensic investigation? Divination? I would assume divination at this point, but it frustrated me. >>The two ukes getting constantly raped by the incubus fucker right up until the final battle. Eun Cheon is literally half naked cuz the demon was raping him two minutes before Do-rim shows up for the final fight >>Do-rim promising to save Eun Cheon at least twice, and then immediately failing to do so, at least twice. >>The cut away scenes shaman people being like "their fate is inevitable" and "it's doomed, they're doomed" to convince us something bad is going to happen and then none of that happening >>Jeong Mok being REALISTICALLY a traumatized child who just wants to save the only family he's ever had in his life but NARRATIVELY really fucking stupid and frustrating. Mr. Murder Brother was really fucking noble resisting the incubus and suffering to keep everyone else safe, and Jeong Mok undermines ALL of that. >>The conflict ending with a Deus Ex Eun Cheon's Mom. This whole story has centered around DO-RIM's ancestors and DO-RIM's powers even when Eun Cheon was technically using them. Like, it's DO-RIM's family the incubus has a grudge against. We've built them up as something formidable, especially the Divine General. And then they all just die in one sword swipe in a single chapter and Eun Cheon's ancestors pop out of his ass to save the day. First 30 chapters are an 8/10. Last 20 chapters are a 4/10. Overall score... 6/10?

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?

stopped at season 1 i think. was hot but i do nooooot like sid. rip the best friend guy man he's miserable. objective 7 or 8/10. personal 3/10

don't really like this Edit: Yeah idk what past me was on about. This is cute! It's got a very light s&m dynamic. Seme and uke are rivals from different programs, regular vs sports. But one day, via shenanigans, seme seduces the uke who gives in pretty easily cuz turns out hes weak to pleasure and a lil bit of a masochist. But the seme is also a virgin so he's BSing his way through. It's funny, the uke is super cute with his gap moe thing, and also the seme is a surprisingly nice guy. They're both arrogant af which kinda adds to the humor, but they're self aware enough to not piss me off. 7/10

police guy has been tryna catch a phantom thief who's always returns what he's stolen after sleeping with mr. policeman. i really wanna know what's up with this aruse-haizaki-grey character and what he's scheming. ree too bad it seems like that was it. super unsatisfying ending. it's a 5/10

Listen the penguin shows up in this girls fridge and everyone just rolls with it and I think that's beautiful 8/10

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.
