The Beast Must Die
I plowed through this one! Wasn't sure about the "joining club initiation" was seggs but once the ML2 warned him what was about to happen, I liked the idea that one person could break through the psychopath's wall. Sad about gang rape of sister ... quelle surprise though that woman was once again the victim- NOT. Didn't like the several references about being/crying like a woman to debase women- that was a weak argument.
For My Weirdo
I started this one officially but ended it up here b/c I couldn't stand the deep & depraved ML. Once again ... onto the child, the sins of the father theme prevailed and it was soooo depressing and I couldn't see an end in sight! I finished it here to see how it would end. I'm glad that the ending was hopefully and bright but man what a slugfest! I probably wouldn't have paid for this, it was just SO dark for so many episodes.
Checkmate(TAN)
Slow burn to the end but worth it. Didn't love the ease with which non-consentual acts were repeatedly performed but did love the climax when the hidden back story unfolded. The 2 MLs were well thought out and despite their differences, ended up in an adult relationship. I respected both characters who stayed true to themselves.
Deadlock
Have books. Ending was non-conclusive and yaoi in name only ... not much of that!
Beware of the Full Moon In March
I hesitated at first because of the power hungry cop vs. the powerless convict, and the initial rape scene I absolutely love this one. I own it on Lezhin because it totally redeemed itself and the cop turns out to have some of the best lines - super funny and on-point.
He + He
Hesitant at first because of the abusive BF situation but it develops nicely into a romance between the ML and the 2nd ML who is a dentist. That relationship is healthy and mature. On extended hiatus right now ... hoping it will resume soon so that the 2 MLs can grow their relationship.
