Furenaide Ritorusuta
Would be five stars if there were more side stories or less angst. They only got together in the end and before that was just angst. I knew Haru (top) losing himself to Yuki (bottom)’s pheromones wasn’t a good thing but goddammit I wanted smut and I wanted them to get together. Makes me a bad person but oh well! Enjoyed this one, just wish it was fluffier. Read: Saturday, October 19th, 2024.
Ginmokusei: The Tailor Shop
We find out in the last or second-to-last chapter that my wasn’t actually a one night stand. They didn’t fuck. Mc2 could be a jerk with his words (not dick-ish per se but definitely a jerk) but he made me laugh every time cuz that’s just his personality and I knew he actually cares about mc1. I thought mc1’s ex would be an innocent person that got caught in the crosshairs while mc1 left his job to take over his grandpap’s tailor shop. Nope. He was a cheater who was MARRIED. Despite that the scenes he was in made me laugh so I don’t hate him as much as I should. His pissing contest with mc2 was hilarious, especially the fact that he technically won. Found it funny how mc2 guessed what mc1’s personality would be like in bed and got it right. Probably just a plot hole but funny nonetheless. Mc2 could definitely be attractive. Admired him constantly. Wish there was more but I also feel like it ended perfectly. Didn’t have the overwhelming oomph that brought it to 5 stars sadly. Enjoyed the author’s other works (two works I read before this one). Read: Saturday, October 19th, 2024.
The Affairs of the Other World Depend on the Corporate Slave
Workaholic mc1 and knight/mage captain mc2. Mc1 wasn’t the intended target of the isekai this time, just got sucked in by accident. No smut but mc1 and mc2 had sex together twice (for healing purposes). Mc1 almost accidentally overdosed and mc2 healed him, then mc1 got magic sickness and they had to have sex to cure his magic sickness. Second time, mc1 was beaten up and mc2 healed him and they again had sex together to cure his magic sickness. Mc2’s feelings are very obvious and he’s very sweet but mc1 is too much of a workaholic to even take the time to consider how he feels about mc2. He’s all about effectiveness and swiftness. The .5 chapters were always hilarious I loved them. Thought the prime minister would be a bad guy in the beginning but he actually wasn’t. The prince is a dick tho. I’m feeling some vibes from the priest and I hope he doesn’t have to have sex with mc1 to heal him or smth. Idk there’s just something about his character. I think this is the first black and white fic I’ve read with no smut so I was very very shocked when it skipped it. Read: Tuesday, December 31st, 2024.
Tamanokoshi Goyoui Shimashita
This is so so so good!!! Cliffhanger though bc mc1 and mc2 just met Mc2’s ex and mc1 admitted he was 20, not in college, and didn’t even graduate high school. Really really looking forward to more. Need more!! Read: Wednesday, January 15th, 2025.
Elektel Delusion
Was really hyped about reading it cuz the comments section made it seem AMAZING but it was kinda mid. They had many misunderstandings and talked about how having good communication is important and then kept hiding things from each other. Stupid. Ig this was going for realistic and I did get that vibe but it was also really stupid at times and pissed me off. Mc2’s ex (his boyfriend in the beginning) is like a sadist or smth and loves doing things to others/enjoys their pain/only cares about himself. Was thankful he didn’t actually like mc2 (& vice versa) but the way he kept interfering with their relationship was just petty and annoying and stupid. Then there was a sculptor who wanted mc2 to be his naked model and tried to not only force himself on mc2, tell mc1 that he would be better for mc2 and to “go back to his own team” (aka go back to being straight, and worked together with Mc2’s ex to break them up. This whole story is just frustrating. Usually I like childhood friends to lovers but there was so much drama and angst and uncertainty that it ruined the story for me.
