A Guy Like You

Complete | Waje | 2016 released

This was THE FIRST BL I had ever read, and I remember being so confused reading this because my brain couldn't process two dudes being together. I didn't like it because it was way too long, I didn't understand what was going on, and to me, everyone in this story sucked—no wonder I hate the other author's work, tho. I was not the biggest fan of the art style too. I only read this because I kept seeing it everywhere in ads, and I was just curious, but I regret this being my first BL :/. I'll reread it and see if my reaction differs five years later, but I doubt it. And unpopular opinion, but most Lezhin comics suck anyways. The only ones I would say I love are Sign and BL Motel because they're so wholesome. Other than that, Lezhin comics are either just so bad they need to be burned in a fire, or they're mediocre. There's no in-between.

Not even gonna bother giving this a rating wtf. This is just vile, this is stuff straight from the fires of hell. It was so hard to follow along I couldn't even finish it, what is this. Why does this even exist, why is there so much incest, so much rape my god. I can't- SOMEONE GET THE BLEACH.

Dropped. I couldn't even watch this shitshow happen. Man held him hostage in his own home with a gun, called him a "virgin woman", didn't even thank raven hair for allowing him to stay in his home, tells him that he can't talk to anyone except him, and then forces him to suck his d. Honestly it's hilarious that I'm not even surprised cuz that sounds like some shit that an American dude from the 30s would do. But like why does this need to be a thing •_•.

1. 3 out of 10 Umm I don know how I feel about this. I'm genuinely curious where the American kissing stereotype came from lmao. As an American (and I definitely would rather not be CANADA BRING ME INTO YOUR LOVING ARMS), if anybody came up and forcibly kissed me in the street I would beat them up and bury their body where no one will find them :D. Also they fell in love in like a day and I'm not a big fan of that. Plus blondie actor was SUPER pushy like sexual harassment levels to borderline rapey. His backstory didn't make me feel better about what he did either. That whole story was weird. But when they got together it was kinda nice. But eh. I don't mind foreigner x Japanese mc or mixed x Japanese. GIVE US MORE DIVERSITY PLS. But this was just littered with weird stereotypes and yes I would hold an American author to the same standards. 2. 1 out of 10 I'm simply giving it this rating cuz it makes me angry. I really loved their dynamic. I love food stories. "Chick" was so cute and I was so excited to see this story play out. And then I see the dude, AN ADULT MIND YOU, outside his HIGH SCHOOL. I never wanted to scream so bad. I've never felt so disappointed since I read Hitorijime My Hero. Like why he is underage, if they wanted him to go to school PUT HIM IN COLLEGE. So many BLs do this and it's so messed up. Pedo/Hebephilia ain't cute loves. I don't care that the age of consent is 13 in Korea, or that they both met when they were young, Chick is still a minor and raven hair is still an adult. If they were at the most, three years apart in age it would be fine, but still, very disappointing. 3. 9 out of 10 Literally the only great story in this whole thing. I loved the manga, so I was so excited to read the "got jealous of their dog" story. I'm glad it didn't turn into a whole giant misunderstanding either where he was like "iM goNnA bREaK uP wIth YoU hOw DaRe yOu dO thIs To mE". So it was great to see these two again. All in all: 4 out of 10 Wish I could put it higher :/

Sadistic Beauty BL Sidestory

Complete | Lee Geumsan | 2000 released

I have never wanted someone to die more than anything. I'm not talking about that monster I mean Minho. I felt such catharsis when he finally decided to hang himself and I thought that would be the end. But NOPE PSYCH HE LIVES AND DECIDES TO LIVE WITH THAT MONSTER FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. That is like the saddest ending ever. If he died he would've been free, no more worries and no more living in fear, but nope we can't have nice things. Why am I here then you ask? Because the translator is hilarious and she makes it entertaining for us with her notes. Thank you for that last note at the end, my heart goes out to anyone else suffering from an abusive relationship. Even if it's hard or terrifying, the moment you see the way out RUN and don't look back. Wouldn't be able to get through it without her, so thanks Hasty. Won't bother giving this a rating. My advice for everyone else, look at this like you would any other kind of horror story. Imagine the rapist as some kind of ugly monster, Gollem style, and you got a great horror story.

Okusama wa Alpha

Complete | fuyu natsushita | 2000 released

I was promised seke I didn't get any. I was promised alpha x alpha, it was basically alpha x buff omega -_- I was promised healthy relationship or an interesting take on arranged marriage. Got typical cliched stuff and the guy borderline cheated. We can't have nice things I guess.
