Luka is an orphan who's known for helping everyone in the village until one day he manifests as an omega, meaning he's the next sacrifice to the god in order to ensure better harvests. But the god who comes to get Luka isn't what he expected. He meets Kuro, a somewhat distant god who gives him suppressants and tells him he'll stay until spring when Kuro will send him to live with other omegas. But when Luka loses his suppressants, their relationship begins to change. Honestly this one has a cool concept but I have trouble following it after the first few chapters. Trigger warning: attempted assault.

Ch.1-3.5 - In his former life, Ryuuzaki was the famous black dragon who fell in love with the flute player Chinagi and they birthed an island. Now reborn on that same island, Ryuuzaki is desperate to find Chinagi, demanding every woman he sees strip in front of him so he can check for the scale pattern that marked Chinagi as his lover. Meanwhile, he's accompanied everywhere by his loyal follower Yasu who does everything from bringing him food to sucking him off. But when Yasu asks Ryuuzaki to look at him instead of Chinagi, Ryuuzaki becomes confused and frustrated that his love for Chinagi could waver. A heartfelt comedy that I enjoyed. Trigger warnings: death/violence, noncon(comedically stripping women's clothes). Ch.4-7.6 - When Nijino first met the white dragon Byakuya, the very first words out of his mouth were a demand to sleep together, followed by Byakuya forcibly taking him. After that, Byakuya offered to pay for Nijino's sister's treatments if Nijino would continue sleeping with him, and Nijino learned he was supposedly a fugeki who could increase the dragon's power. Nijino has been with Byakuya ever since, but he somewhat despises this relationship in which they both use each other. However, Nijino has yet to fully remember his past lives with Byakuya, and their connection runs deeper than he thinks. Trigger warnings: rape, coercion, sex work, death/violence.

Katou Tamotsu is an ordinary man, aside from the fact that he can see strange spirits around him and their presence has made it hard for him to find a job. He's finally hired at a real estate agency, only to find out that it's run by the blue dragon god, Seiryuu, and they find homes for other gods! But after a drunken night of passion, Seiryuu says that he and Tamotsu have formed a pact and he'll protect Tamotsu from spirits if Tamotsu works for them, so Tamotsu figures he has nothing to lose. But as Tamotsu starts to want more from Seiryuu than just his protection, he worries that being with Seiryuu has made him feel more alone than ever. I really enjoy what we have of this one, and I wish it would update again. Trigger warning: dubcon (drunk).

In a world where gods exist and sometimes have public personas, Mamori is a hardcore stan for his favorite idol, Kamui, of the band Gods. However, after attending a concert, Mamori is practically abducted and taken to Kamui. It turns out, Kamui is a real god and Mamori is his ceremonial vessel, the one designated to give birth to a divine messenger for Kamui as part of his coming of age. Mamori is devastated that the idol he respected for working so hard was actually a god the whole time who only became an idol to increase his "worshipers," and he's even more distressed that Kamui is forcing him to sleep together regularly so they can create a divine messenger. But as they get to know each other, Mamori realizes he's misunderstood Kamui and there's more to his favorite idol than he thought. Would have been a lot cuter if they could have avoided the rape. Trigger warning: rape.

Kokuten is just a cat yokai, but one day the human Takeharu appears before him and, mistaking Kokuten as the mountain god, offers to be Kokuten's sacrifice in return for a bountiful harvest for the village. Kokuten tries to chase him off, but Takeharu is very persistent, even when it comes to physical intimacy. However, Kokuten is starting to like having him around, and he's worried that Takeharu will realize he's not the mountain god and leave him if he can't do something to grant Takeharu's wish. I want to nominate the real mountain god for best supporting character. He's barely in it, yet he steals the show. Trigger warning: noncon

Yukari is a campus cook who made a promise to fallen deity when he was a child. Now that deity, the black wolf Sasara, appears before Yukari and says their souls are linked and Yukari is his mate. Yukari is a little unsure of Sasara's feelings, and Sasara isn't traditionally his type, but he can't help but like this adorable god, and he ends up staying with him and getting involved as Sasara is roped into a rebellion against his brother, the white wolf. Trigger warning: discrimination.

Wakako is just a girl with bad luck who went to a shrine and ended up leaving with a talisman that happened to contain Rai, the god who eats bad things. Rai has to kiss Wakako (and more) to feed, and though she's hesitant at first, the two end up falling for each other, and Rai says that if she's happy and has no more negative emotions to feed him, his life will naturally shorten and they can live together as a normal couple. But their happiness is interrupted by the bad turn in Wakako's mother's illness which makes her question if being around Rai is courting disaster. Interesting setup. Their first interaction has some dubcon, but after that they're good about consent. Trigger warning: dubcon

Taesun was raised by his grandfather, who taught him not to mourn death as it's a natural part of life, but as an adult, when his grandfather falls ill, Taesun wants to do everything in his power to save him. He's working for the money to keep his grandpa in the hospital when he ends up on a mountain and saves a cold snake. The snake, Geumryang, follows him home and reveals himself as the god of the mountain and says fate bought them together and he wants Taesung to bear his child, offering to grant a wish in return. Taseung wants to save his grandfather under his own power, but he ends up agreeing to Geumryang's terms, and the two begin their relationship. Trigger warning: noncon (somnophilia)
