stressedpenguin's manga / #rich seme(41)

Was pretty decent master x servant, alpha x beta drama with some of the worst executed kidnapping plots I've seen and a neck snappingly abrupt ending. It was so poorly executed I fully did not believe it was real. I thought I was reading a dream or something 4/10

Completed at ch 98 (with an asterisk). Hm. Hm? Hmmmmm???? That kinda annoyed me??? I dunno why I didnt like this. It's got half if the tropes I like... it's got angst and drama but green flag semes and cute insecure ukes but like. The seme kinda.... pisser me off. Even when they broke up and he SAID he was feeling miserable, he doesn't show it. The uke is crying, his eyes are red rimmed and empty. He's trying his best to hold it together and fulfill his duty. And the seme just rocks up, tells--no pleading, no apology, no desperation AT ALL--tells the uke they should give it another go. I'm definitely missing huge bits of this since I started in ch 30 and also skipped like chapters 70-90. I cant complain took much But I just felt frustrated by the seme. Also the arranged marriage plot was just kinda... resolved... idk. Ummm 6/10??

Pretty cute, the romance part kinda just happens bc they put leading man and leading man in the same room for multiple days, so I wasnt really feeling that part. But I like that the uke has a talent outside of being a rental boy cuz often BLs about sex workers who get out of sex work find themselves completely dependent on the rich seme, which makes me nervous. Uh 5/10?

Love me a gentle sugar daddy. I really love that the seme was just a kind stranger who was unconsciously trying to find a way to help a clearly exhausted guy without being too creepy about it. This is my kinda fantasy lol 7/10

I've been meaning to read this for years and I'm glad I did! Despite the seme being super rich and famous, the relationship felt balanced. Even the jealousy drama wasnt' unnecessarily drawn out. 7/10 name on MAL is Oujisama no Riyuu

1st story: A CEO falls in love with a window cleaner. This I feel like had potential but I felt like there were missing scenes to tie the story together. 4/10. 2nd story: Virgin writer working for a BL game company struggles to write sex scenes bc hes never had sex. Naturally his hot younger coworker teaches him the ropes. Very standard. 4/10 Overall, 4/10

Honestly surprisingly consensual?? Like from the start? Their first time could be considered dubcon since the uke needs the money, but its delightfully consensual from there. Uke also really wants that D and clearly enjoys the sex. The seme is surprisingly sweet and gentlemanly 6/10

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

Broke, despondent uke gets snatched from his konbini job by a hot rich company president who gives him a makeover and a better job and also they're in love now. I'd call this a meal well made, 6/10

Dropped at ch 19. Catch me reading this purely because the puppy is so fucking cute Update ch 20. Well now that hes spending more time in his human form, I've fully lost interest . I thought I was joking but no the only draw for me was the tiny pupper. -/10
