Knot
061623: God dammit, update!!! It's tragic!!!!! They wasted so many years when they could've been friends!! Its a abused-uke, save-the-uke, re-encounter plot. Two former friends/classmates had their relationship go from childhood friends, to bullying, to strangers. Finally, as adults, the seme wants to restabilish a relationship, while in the uke's home life, he deals with abuse in his life. I've seen this kind of concept before, but this did not feel tired. I liked the character writing, specifically in the nuance found in the uke's character. His behavior felt complicated, not always pleasant but understandable. For example, he has been in the role of both bully to being bullied. I can understand the reason for his antisocial/ closed off disposition, and the reason he reacts the way he does to the seme. Poor thing feels hurt, and like he can't trust anyone. Anyways, I'd really like if this updated!

Bride of Ignat
Might be my new favorite author!! Please dear god update. The way this author illustrates is really special. The artwork look bespoke. Anyways, the plot is this boy's village casts him off as a sacrificial bride for a local dragon. The dragon doesn't want a bride but the boy now has nowhere to go so they stay together.
Kowamote no Rinjin ga Ω datta Toki no Taishohou
A discovers his feisty, scary neighbor is actually an omega. MC is an alpha with a special condition whom only the uke trusts. Uke requests sex to help with his heats, and the two's relationship kicks off from there. Seme becomes more drawn to uke through the encounters but wants to get to know uke. He has his work cut out for him as he tries to penetrate the uke's feisty exterior. I love a scary, tough looking uke/ omega. Seme is a green flag who cares for uke.
