Amazing Agent Luna

Ongoing | Christina weir,Nunzio defilippis,Shiei | 2019 released

Uhh... a LOT happened in this one. Can't say I enjoyed it but cant say I wasn't entertained by some of the bizarre writing choices and revolving door of love interests. 4/10

Surge Looking For You

Complete | Chung Yun | 2000 released

Completed at ch 50. I was starting to get tired of the uke and seme blaming themselves for each others problems. That's not a bad conflict it just happened like... every 5 chapters. They have an issue angst about it, resolve it kinda, and then immediately go through the same angst again. For 50 chapters. The relationship was realistically codependent but pretty cute. They couldnt stop fucking for ONE chapter tho. It was either drama and angst or fucking. Often both. I think they fucked more than they talked. Also not into pregnant sex and fully thought the uke would abort the baby ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 6/10 name on MAL is Surge Towards You

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??

Koiyume Lover

Complete | conro | 2014 released

Hmm. Interesting? Ending was super abrupt. There was a scene where the seme forces the uke even tho the sex has been consensual this whole time. It's more dubcon than straight rape bc the uke seems to be okay with it.....? But... Seme getting a taste disorder was really random and the initial fairy dream thing was weird. Despite all of this, I still liked it I guess. 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

Morning, from an Immature Night

Ongoing | Dh | 2019 released

Really clunky writing. I get what they were going for (reencoubter I've loved you this whole time but external homophobia and a traumatic experience created internal phobia and now I'm a wreck but will you love me anyway) BUT I don't think the execution was very good. The story clumsily hints at the broader story because it wants to do a dramatic reveal, so it has to spend all its screen time with the confused seme. But the seme isn't all that interesting bc his entire character revolves around the uke, but we cant tell you anything about the uke because he has to be a mystery, so we cant tell you anything at all. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ 2/10, minus a point for annoying me

The Lady's Erotic Hobbies {JYL}

Ongoing | Chae rangbi | 2022 released

Sorta a horny regency romance? Pretty decent except the part where the ML thinks the FL is rejecting him and his response is to assault the FL???? 6/10
