Friend's Milk

Complete | Koolkol | 2019 released

Whooah! That seems hot as hell This is so lovable, it's actually insane. The bottom is the one who makes the shot though he is weak to the top's aegyo. I thought that the top was dumb as fuck as well but it turns out that he's been making passes at the bottom. Offering to have sex with him etc was him putting his best foot forward. I love their dynamic as well, the bottom has a soft spot for the top and goes along with everything he says. He is also hot af so yay! Hot bottoms are hard to find these days.

The Rogue Prince Is Secretly an Omega

Ongoing | kkumool, Janghyeon, Seolmyo | 2022 released

I like the premise of this story but everything seems to happen for the sake of the plot. The Emperor and the Empress are a laughing stock, the influence of the Empress imo isn't that strong, she also seems very dumb. The ML is the best character for now, but he seems very naive. Like I would imagine him to find something amiss about the prince since he has known him for how long? But he only asked to conduct an investigation recently. All of his people are aware of his affections for the prince yet they don't seem to take him seriously either. I am so used to MLs in this genre no matter how easy going they are to have their subordinates take everything they say seriously. I understand that they think only an alpha and omega should get married, especially since he is a Grand Duke but them asking him "You're not doing this because of 'him', are you" rubs me the wrong way considering in the previous chapter they acknowledge that the Duke only attends parties where the prince attends. The characters are not the smartest, I guess it's better to write dumb or average characters since they are more predictable and you don't have to go through hoops so that they don't seem to be out of character. That's why Gege hates writing Gojo from JJk since he is so OP, he has to modify and think things through since he is a pain to write about since he could change things with just a wave of his hand. The MC being an omega and therefore living a life where he has to hide his identity since in the imperial family only an alpha can become an emperor is very sad but I wish he wasn't that much of a pussy. Like he is so easily pushed around. Istg when he woke up after being forced to eat those suppressants by his mother, and decided to use the back door since he didn't want to open the window(it would wake his servant who was sleeping after caring for him) which btw only the duke and him know the location of, I rolled my eyes since it was so fucking obvious that it was a way to make him meet with the ML. Also conveniently that's when the ML suspects him to be an omega, he even asks his subordinates if it was possible for a beta to smell like an omega and the obvious answer was 'no'. But there could be two reasons 1) there was an omega who passed by in that area so it was the residual scent/pheromone left by that omega. Of course this is ruled out since only him and the prince knows this place. 2) the omega mistakes himself to be a beta. They brush this aside since it was preposterous and such a thing couldn't happen. But not the ml, a lightbulb seems to go off in his head. I am worried tho that he will be too careless and that will cause the Empress to find out and cause more trauma for the prince.

Pairing Names

Complete | Do Mong | 2000 released

I read only from Ch4 to 8 but I got the gist of it. It's very cute and wholesome, pacing is very fast, misunderstandings occur and it's solved. Felt like a shonen ai manga in that regards. The blue haired sunbae is a bitch, die blue jerk. Oh! They knew eo from childhood but didn't get along, that changed after the body switching happened. So happily ever after?

The Heart of the Lotus

Ongoing | Magyusik | 2024 released

Ooh I love this! Poor uke tho! He looks so good and seems so used to the seme, even when he holds his waist or fiddles with his fingers and licks it.. So I assume he's been this way since the beginning? I love a story like this and the plot is plotting as well saurr.. I love that he's so smart as he's a Baedong as well

Love is an Illusion! - Superstar

Ongoing | Fargo | 2022 released

Awwww Byul's going through puberty.. But ngl it hurts my heart when he thinks whether Hyesung found it embarrassing to have another child at his age? Like I know that's normal but still... Also Dojin keeping it a secret from HS that he's financially supporting his mom got me feeling iffy. I don't like Byul's character too much rn. He's just as gullible as his mom tho. Maybe it's because I watched him grow up being so sweet that him being a moody teenager kinda... Idk it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The ML and HS also has a history together so super interesting... I wonder how they fell off.
