Final Stop
Dropped this after chapter 9. If the translation was better, or the story was organized better, or the sex scenes were less awkwardly clunky, maybe I would have continued it. Without better translation I don't feel the need to pick this up again. Edit: Now licensed in English and complete, may check out eventually Summary: "It’s hard for omegas to find jobs, but Song Hayoon does the best he can. He spends all his time on part-time jobs just so he can pay back his father’s debts. It’s not easy, but he makes it work… but sometimes he wonders if there ever will be an escape out of this never-ending vicious cycle of a life. Then one day, he comes to learn that the prestigious Taewon Group has taken over all his debts. And none other than the Executive Vice President, Kang Hyun-tae, comes to offer him a job… as his personal boytoy. Will this put an end to Hayoon’s troubles, or will it be the start of his new misery?" Not licensed in English. Edit: Now licensed on Lezhin," Terminus." Will try to pick up eventually.

Seonbae USB Swapping Plan!
[Complete] Summary: Kwon Wo has had a crush on his sunbae, Jin Wook, since his high school days and followed him to the same university. One day, Kwon Wo left his USB-- which contains porn videos of a porn star who looks just like Jin Wook-- and accidentally took Jin Wook's USB in its place. When he realized his mistake, he tried to sneak into his room and switch them, but was caught. Pretty strictly PWP. Like, "probably was planned to be 10 chapters and ended up being 4, so the only cuts they took were some of the sex scenes" type of PWP. Really no need to read it again unless maybe an official comes out. This felt even choppier than a manga. Not licensed in English.

Secondo Piatto
This is one of those deceptively good stories where when I drop it to do something else I forget why I was invested in it, then the second I start it again I remember why. Started as fwb but the top is such a mature, reasonable man who treats the bottom right even when he doesn't want to be treated right. At every turn where there is typically a misunderstanding in most BLs, it's immediately fixed and it's shocking every time how realistic it feels. They both grow as people and are a beautiful couple, and it ended well. The R15 is censored, not cut at all until somewhere in the 50s, so chapters line up with R19 pretty perfectly until about halfway. The numbers aren't too off, though. The side stories are full of smut and probably won't be released R15, so will need to wait for R19. Official on Lezhin, Tappytoon, and Manta. Officials are here. Manta has separate localization, whereas Lezhin and Tappytoon used a third party and the translation isn't great, it has lots of typos. Even the title logos are different, and Manta is a lot better. Just skip the R19 except when relevant, the difference between the translations is that stark.
