Novelist (seme) x editor (uke) My rating: 8/10 This has a familiar setup with a rich seme and a naive and cute uke. It's poetic, the seme's push and pull tactics, the uke falling for him even while knowing that he's being played with draw u in. The seme is an aloof, broken gentleman. Sadly, this isn't truly completed here.

But then the author turns out to be his neighbour he has been fighting with ever since that annoying guy moved in.

My rating: 8/10 I liked that the FL was actually pretty normal looking. The story clearly had the message: what matters is the inner beauty. BLIND ML, PREGNANCY, ONE-NIGHT STAND After a one-night stand with a mysterious and blind customer at the cottage B&B she works at, the FL finds out that he is actually a famous CEO. He is already gone, but when she realises she's pregnant, she goes after him.

My rating: 7/10 I like the writing style, the characters and the art. But their relationship IS a bit disturbing to me. I mean, they became lovers as soon as they met again even though the seme was a child when they said goodbye. This just doesn't feel right ... AGE GAP, NOVELIST, REUNION A gloomy novelist who lives a secluded life (uke) one day meets a young child (seme) who comes to his house and they grow really close. But then the child moves away and they don't see each other for 10 years.

My rating: 4/10 The set-up is good and the start caught my interest but then it gets really rushed. The romance starts with a random kiss and the confession surprised me just as much. It's like the author wanted to wrap it all up nicely and overdid it. BIOGRAPHY, ACTRESS An university professor and historian (FL) gets asked to write the biography of a famous actress by the woman herself. But the actress's son (ML), a man whose father is unknown to the public, is strongly against it.
