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

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

I Swear I'm Not a Scammer!

Ongoing | TT | 2000 released

Dropped at ch 16. Seme is seriously nothing but red flags and this story is full of annoying contrivances. Feels like the author had a smutty premise in mind but no idea how to make it happen and just cobbled together things they've seen in other manhwa. 3/10

How to Lose Your Virginity

Honestly, pretty cute and I wish there was more 6/10

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

Makka na Okao no Ichigo-kun

Complete | Aion kiu | 2022 released

Playboy seme encounters a seemingly innocent uke who turns out to be more devilish in bed than he anticipated. He gets a lil pissed off and tries to get back at the uke only to fall in love and also find out they've met before in the past. Personally, I'm not big into "i actually loved you all along" plots. But that's personal preference. We stan an uke who knows what he wants and goes for it, and can also be a cute, shy bean. Relationship was a little spontaneous for me, but I did like the characters so 6 or 7/10

Tomorrow We Won't Be Friends For Sure, Right?
