Sheltered and rich young schoolgirl Botan falls head over heels for the train attendant Koganei who saved her during her first attempt to use the public transit system. After that, she starts stalking and eventually confesses to Koganei, who swiftly rejects her. But to protect her maidenly heart, her butler creates a love contract to get Koganei to date her with the goal of leaving her with good memories but ultimately getting her to break up. Koganei figures it won't take long, because outside of work he's a total asshole, so she'll surely give up soon. But her tenacity and obsessiveness is greater than he realizes and begins to wear him down. Trigger warning: relationship with a minor.

Aine is a level 7 adventurer just hoping to get a good drop to earn some money when she accidentally attacks a high ranked monster and gets an S-level curse. She can't afford to get the temple to purify it, but the head priest tells her that taking in the fluids of someone bursting with pure power like the hero could do the trick, so she decides to try to find him. Which she quickly does, but she finds out women often use the curse excuse as a come on, so now even when she does manage to get close to him, she just can't admit that she needs help with this! Trigger warning: attempted rape.

Chika is a young Japanese girl who isekaied into a fantasy world as a preteen and immediately got captured and sold as a (male) slave, so she blew off steam by (sexually) tormenting the captured warrior Douglas. Much later, Douglas has been freed and she's been found out as a woman and is being sold as a virgin sex slave when Douglas buys her. She's worried about him seeking retribution, but it turns out that he didn't recognize her, and he's also impotent ever since being tormented by the young boy (Chika), so she lives a pretty comfortable life by his side. But as they get closer, Douglas has to figure out how to trust Chika while at the same time keeping her by his side. I like Chika's character a lot, but the actual story of this one isn't anything special. Decent smut, I like their mild S&M dynamic. Trigger warnings: slavery, noncon, slime rape.

Annette is a returner who is determined to create a better life, starting with her relationship with her husband, Raphel. Though they were forced to marry due to a scandal, she wants to convince him that she is innocent, while he despises her and her family but can't help but desire her. Trigger warning: dubcon, BDSM, PTSD.

Serun is the princess of a fallen nation who is offered to the god of the mountain to protect the people from winter, and she expects to die being eaten by wolves. But instead, she's saved by a giant white wolf who turns out to be the lord of the mountain and who asks her to be his bride. Serun is terrified and wants to get away, but this wolf seems to only care about her, even as he seems to know her from somewhere. Meant to be smut, so the story's not all there, but it's fine. Trigger warnings: murder, noncon.

Loretta and Alto are siblings not related by blood who have never gotten along due to Loretta's intense tsundere nature that makes it impossible to say what she means. But Alto recently had a one night stand with a mystery woman that he's desperate to track down, and Loretta has a secret: it was her all along. She's always loved her brother, she just doesn't know how to express it! It's pretty predictable stuff but not terrible. No explicit scenes, btw. Trigger warning: mild incest (siblings by adoption)

Byletta is the daughter of a knight family who seems too aggressive for marriage, until Arnald, a knight away at war, suddenly asks for her as his bride. She's sent to live with his family in the meantime and duels his alcoholic father to get him on her side, then befriends his sister and starts a business with her uncle. But a few years later, Arnald is coming back and she has no desire to be tied down as his wife, so she sends him a letter asking for a divorce. Arnald returns, and thinking that she's seduced all the men in her life, decides to punish her by offering a bet in which if he gets her pregnant in one month, they'll remain married, but if not, she can go. So now their month of marriage begins. Arnald is an idiot, a slut shamer, and a total asshole. Byletta is a strong FL, which makes it all the more infuriating to see her forced into the romance plot with him. Trigger warnings: domestic violence, dubcon, attempted rape.

Ayla is isekaied into a fantasy world where she ends up becoming the potion maker for a small town, until one day she wanders into a castle and finds a nearly feral dragon. It turns out he eats human souls (through sexual acts), and as the one person who doesn't get scared by him, her soul is the only one that tastes good! Very much porn with little actual story and some not so good consent. Trigger warnings: noncon, drug, somnophilia, tentacles.

Miyuki has always dreamed of getting back together with her high school boyfriend, so when she learns he died unexpectedly in a car accident, she gets totally smashed and ends up going home with a guy she mistakes for her ex. The next day, she finds out this man is actually Reiichiro, her new boss at work, and he's not willing to let this go as a one night stand. Miyuki worries that she shouldn't be sleeping with Reiichiro when she's still hung up on her ex, but Reiichiro insists that he won't let her go. Honestly, I think that Reiichiro's initial actions are pretty indefensible, even if it all ends up all right and he's a pretty good boyfriend for the second half. ️Trigger warnings: drunk sex, dubcon.
