It's Not Like That (Gangto)

Complete | Gangto / Lime | 2000 released

Cute! It's a bit silly but the characters feel realistic and also the boss recognizes when hes screwed up! Drama usually gets resolved cuz hey talk to each other about their problems but there is the usual abundance of miscommunication. Also, the seme is very aggressive in bed and it's clear the uke cant take it more often then not. The seme DOES recognize this and he tries really hard to hold back, which was good. I think it was honestly a mistake for the uke to give him permission to go wild EVERY TIME. This poor guy's ass dude... 6 or 7/10. would be higher but i'm docking points cuz the story really doesn't want the uke to set boundaries for some reason even tho it's clear he needs to. name on MAL is Don't Get Me Wrong, Boss!

Umi de Hirotta Kimi ni Sasagu

Complete | Sagami Waka | 2000 released

Yknow. I'll never understand these "I love you, goodbye" ghosting plots... Writer picks up a naked guy of the beach who claims to have amnesia. But does he really? And who is this mysterious kid? *Dun dun dun* 5/10 i guess

Two guys, one a gloomy aspiring writer and another an outgoing somethin, reunite years after their first and only interaction during high school. Nothing really happens and then they confess. The end. 5/10

Kouryaku Syndrome

Complete | kozaki yone | 2000 released

Ch 1-4. A lil weird for me that they spoke like everything was a video game. That's some immersion. I see how it can be fun and cute tho, just not for me. The plot is basically gamer guy has crush on girl. Girls brother is guy gamer guy doesnt like. They fall in love after barely any interaction. The end. Ch 6: two writers living together, polar opposites. The seme assaults the uke but we pretend it's to develop his writing through experience and not rape or anything and then for some reason that works and its happily ever after Ch 7: a cute oneshot about the side characters from the first story Over all 3/10 for me chief

Do Shenshwcho wo ikenai goshido

Ongoing | Potato yamamori | 2019 released

Writer gets a new editor who's pushing him to write more sensual stuff and then molest him to give him "experience". Yeah its another one of these I don't have it in me. Edit: wound up half skimming it. They really had to arm wrestle that misunderstanding so it could be easily resolved. No way do you answer "well obviously the best part is his looks" and turn that into "haha I mean his expressions." Idk. Also: "when you say no you actually mean yes". In context, not horrible. Still never a fan. Idk. I have no patience anymore. 3/10 Name on MAL is Do S Henshuuchou no Ikenai Goshidou

Page o Mekuru Sono Mae ni

Ongoing | Fumikawa jimi | 2019 released

Dang. Yknow, they coulda just... not used the cheapest trick in the book to try and make the abusive ex sympathetic... he shoulda just dropped outta the story and we call it a day. Anyway, scruffy writer guy and our cute college kid were cute and fluffy. The hidden identity plot was silly but I enjoyed it 6/10

In Too Deep: Our Hallowed Diner

A oneshot but I liked the vibes 7/10

Uke writes erotic fiction for his uncles magazine (which is weird... it's weird to have your nephew who is a minor write erotica for your magazine right??) And then he somehow gets involved with the cool seme and they start jacking off together It was a bit of a mess at the end bc the story decided to jump like half a year to a year ahead when drama had happened and then had to go back and explain why. Like just... play all that out chronologically? It was pretty good? Anyway 5/10
