See You Never
Isekai/time travel, childhood friends, possessive top, top pursues, this all escalates real quick. Both MC and ML need to take a fucking chill pill. They eventually both grow as people though. Progress is like: "wow, ML is fucked up" --> ".. You know, MC isn't so great either" --> "I guess this could be cute now" --> "NEVER MIND" --> "wait I see character growth" --> "They're both good enough people now that they can see and grow from who they were in the past. I can ship this again. Even I'm shocked." The sudden switch to strong sci-fi far into the story is jarring, but not bad tbh Official release on Bilibili (some official chapters are posted here, most not).

Lazy Man’s Desire Switch
Status/wealth gap, obsessive top, top pursues, childhood friends, lost memories, re-encounter, boss x employee. Everyone here needs a psychiatrist. Official on Lezhin, official title is "Triggering Idle Desires." 1/8/23
The Promise
Status/power gap, possessive top, calculating powerful (and surprisingly empathetic) top X rational experiment bottom. World of superpowers, top is extremely powerful, bottom is believed to be powerless but can secretly read memories. So much apparent detail is skipped over that it feels like this is a chapter-limited manhua version of a novel, but can't find any evidence that there is one. Last 5 chapters are way too rapid, and the need for resolution for the plot points it introduced resulted in quick, cheesy fixes. Translation is okay for the official, but the jumbled last few chapters make the cheesy dialogue even more cringey with the awkward translation. I loved the plot overall, but the presentation at the end is disappointing. Things that were definitely big points, that could have easily lasted a couple chapters without dragging it out, were shown in 1-2 panels with a few summary sentences. Official on Inkr, chapters 1-30 are free with membership. Officials are here. Bought it all on Inkr.

Roses and Champagne
Crime boss x lawyer, top pursues, obsessed top, dominant top. Really fucked up in the middle honestly but bottom seems to at least sorta forgive him enough to stay with him, since that's the way the top was raised. Not licensed in English, initial translations here are good but rougher on the middle chapters. Each chapter is 5-10 minutes. EDIT: After over a year after the announcement, we now have licensed releasing on Lezhin 5x a week. Officials are here.

Kiss me, Liar
Boss x employee, status/wealth gap, possessive top, top pursues, straight top, massive character growth Adapted from a novel: (English translation) https://wordexcerpt.com/series/kiss-me-liar/ * It's free through chapter 17 of the manhua; the remaining chapters that aren't free are only posted through chapter 32 of the manhua as of 5/25/23 (last chapter was posted on 1/14/23). Chapters here don't align with chapter numbers of the manhua. **A few lines seem to have gone missing in translation, and the ordering at times seems weird or completely changed. It's understandable in some places only because I've read the manhua and have the context of what's supposed to be happening, but also vice versa where some things from the manhua make more sense after having read the novel. The novel isn't MTL and has proper grammar so it's above expectations, just not fully translated yet. More information that was left out from the novel: * Grayson definitely fucked his dog, and his whole family is full of psychos ||spoilers clarification|| Keith was attacked by a religious group that thinks extreme alphas are monsters Omegas can mark alphas. Marks are formed by biting the ear. Opposite of the usual-- omegas can mark many alphas but alphas can only have one omega (that they can mark in return). Tbh this makes a lot more sense biologically anyway, gotta keep that dad around to make him take care of his kids smh. The rest of the side stories are posted in a separate title on here, under the same name. Don't read the first 4 sides posted here, better translations are posted in the other post. Intimate scene starts (doesn't include ones that are only a few panels, or the one that's straight up non-con) 13, 15, 17 (escalation), 21, 22, 23, 28, 34, 46, side 1, side 4 Not licensed in English (licensed in Korean on Lezhin). Translation changes a bit after chapter 19 (when BL Scans dropped it) but it's not MTL and is still pretty good (with cleaning and everything). Quality drops after chapter 36 when yet another group takes over, but although not pretty it gets the job done and isn't MTL. For chapters 13-19, read the second set of the double posted chapters, the BL Scans version. The manhua pretty religiously follows the novel, but leaves out and changes some minor things. ***[EDIT] Now licensed on Tapas starting 5/26/23 Series info: https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/esljqzj/Kiss-me-liar (manhua) https://www.mangaupdates.com/series/hfgsywa/Kiss-me-liar-novel (novel) 1st: 7/30/22, 2nd: 10/09/22, 3rd: 3/6/23, 4th: 5/24/23, 5th: 10/3/23
