I Didn't Ask You to Eat Me!

Ongoing | Nui kumano | 2022 released

I like this. It's simple and straight to the point, it does all that it needs to do and hits all the correct beats in the story. The boss asking "Who's gonna be the top" made me chuckle since it was very obvious that Kazuma would be it with how proactive he's been. There is just something magical about an older uke×younger seme that tickles my fancy. With the latter being stoic or spacing out most of the time, not as bothered by societal norms. I want a Mr Inuma in my life, someone to take care of me and cook for me. He's so sweet and giving. Their combo works on paper and in reality too I would assume. Gastronomy, I haven't heard that since Food Wars (Shokugeki no Soma), with that short white-haired character. I like that he broke up with his ex because she didn't like the smell of fish, which was essentially her denying him his passion and so forth. Many might put up with it but damn he knows his worth. Also I like that he called it 'sexual assault' cuz it was and also him easily admitting to his feelings and naturally dating. I love how his co-worker wasn't a douchebag and started tattling to everyone about the fact that they were dating and is genuinely happy for him. It also speaks volume on the Boss's character that him extending his help and looking out for him was seen as something normal and not him giving favours to him cuz he liked him. It shows he would do the same for any other in that situation. He has been in that dorm for ten years as well so they might have seen him doing the same for others. Also, many situations point to them dating yet they don't even consider that and I think it isn't due to them being naive but simply them faulting it to the Boss's kind nature. Currently on Ch14.

This is very different. I know the gaming culture in Korea is a different level, so maybe that's why I'm not getting it. I'm not the target audience for this, I'm just lost whenever they use lingos and slangs I find myself drifting off. Also the way I relieve stress is not by playing video games so whatever. Is this a yaoi or shounen ai? There are currently only 6 chapters and so far it isn't very interesting. The MC is a lot older than the ML, the ML is a university student while the other is 28 years old and is an office worker. The avatars are very adorable though I must say that half of the things they say is just nonsense to me.

Hmmm.. This is confusing. I don't know what to say. It's not too much of a big deal.. I like stalkers in my fiction so it's all okay. Gurl just give up... The Japanese names tripped me out the first time tho. Her friend is so dark romance reader coded tho.. Sakamoto is the real G. The new love interest is cute. I like how hyper he is.
