Replicant - Hitsuji no Dolly wo Aisuru to Iu Koto -

Ongoing | Yamada supokon | 2019 released

Mm. Too short to do much with a premise as high concept as Man Creates a Clone of His One-Sided Crush and Then Runs Away From His Job Because His Job Wants to Harvest Organs From Clones and Also His Crush Swapped Places With the Clone so They're Actually Together. The Clone Rights thing was I guess a cute backdrop but it didnt feel like it had any weight since Chris gets together with the Real Seth, so there's no personal stake in improving the lives and rights of clones. ALSO they just used the clone for their selfish purpose... Like consequence free get out an arranged marriage card. Idk It's a short story with a premise a lil bigger than it had the room to explore, so it wound up feeling poorly thought out but still did what it wanted to in the end. 6/10

Truth or Dare

Complete | Taffy , 태피 | 2000 released

Dropped at ch 16. This feels like someone who's only seen American college through like shitty melodrama movies tried to write a college drama... at least they kinda act like people but like.. high schoolers pretending to do college stuff, who also have no concept of how the internet works 3/10, maybe 2

A Future With You

Ongoing | Shimako wan | 2022 released

I know I just finished this but I cannot remember much about it -/10

Can Angels Do This?

Ongoing | Kang Pucon | 2022 released

For a pwp with a demon who sucks up energy, the uke really didnt seem all that I to it. Just a bunch of "no, stop, wait" Where is my slutty demon uke who's eager to get railed huh??? Anyway, basically pwp but there is kinda a plot and it's meh 3/10

Itoshiki Ningyo

Ongoing | Hijiki | 2019 released

I'll be honest, I thought something more would happen given the story had like... curses and fish spirits and spirit mediums, but it was kinda... standard? Idk a little disappointed in the supernatural element because this felt like a unique yokai type story. Mm 4/10 for the disappointment

Don't Mess with The Yakuza! ~ Broken in by a Crime Syndicate Deputy Leader

Ongoing | Nakaochi | 2022 released

Yeah that was just every my neighbor is a yakuza and also fucking me story with not a lot og substance ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 4/10

The Dirtiest High

Complete | Charyeok | 2024 released

Did not... really enjoy this like I thought I would. Wasn't really into the uke and seme's dynamic 4/10

Last read ch 2. It is what it says on the tin I don't really have much to say about this one.

Hakushaku to Yousei

Complete | tani mizue | 2008 released

Ima be honest, I was kinda expecting the Fairy Doctor to ro more than one useful thing in 15 chapters and also know more about fairies and interact with a lot more fairies. Unfortunately this fell into the trap of the shoujo protagonist cannot do anything so that the love interest can be cool and save her. Am disappointed in the fantasy elements. Also friggin Ermine commits suicide for genuinely no reason other than making the ML sad. Overall, disappointed an annoyed. 3/10, at least she wasnt sexually assaulted

Kuzuna Kimi Shika Aisenai

Ongoing | Shiosaki rina | 2019 released

Dropped at ch 5. Is this complete? Dunno. Am I going to complete it if there are more chapters? Nope! This is very much a self-indulgent trope fest for those who love the shojo romance teasing bad boy. There's no substance and no plot, just trope scenarios playing out each chapter and a loooooot of near kisses. 3/10 for being boring
