Lies like Lies
Trigger warning, tragedy, psychological The plot had so much potential, but the translation (at least at the start) made it difficult to understand, and the ending is a confusing. That's why I give this a 4/5. But looking back and remembering the plot, I am brought to tears. A tradegy from start to end. Regardless, it is a good read. It was just the right length. The side story is a bit sudden, but it did lighten up the mood. At least one couple could have their happy ending Spoiler This is a story of 2 childhood friends that were separated due to circumstances beyond there control: one of them being assaulted and the other escaped to get help, but it was too late by the time he got back. Haunted by this tragedy for years to come, he is unexpectedly reunited with his first love. But if only they had found eachother sooner. From being to end their story is tragic, with no chance of redemption. May they be butterflies in their next life. This story did bring me to tears.
Rojiura Pussycat
Terrible start, meh development, & the sister was totally right. Had no reason to back down. Seme's future is going no where. He can't forever live off gambling money. I would've loved to see him change himself. Not just from his playboy ways, but into a productive member of society
Kichiku, Encount
Hm. Dubcon through & through. Basically all smut, & not really good smut tbh, & the art style was just meh. Idk what I was expecting--would've preferred the 2nd couple more (the Russian)
Yoru To Asa No Uta
Trigger warning. Psychological. Obsessed with this author’s style and stories
Gintama dj - Mienai Kusari
Okay….wow. The start, did not care for. But that mind-fuckery, that progression….wow. Ending well done. A great psychological read, but trigger warning
Kokoro O Korosu Houhou
T/w rape, stockholm syndrome Topbtier psychological--really screws you up Honestly, beautifully written. The MC's suffering was evident throughout--you really fdlt his pain. The conplexity of relationships was wonderfully done as well. The ending was truly tragic. It made sense for the story, but I wish it could've been something more Would rec for a fucked uo read
The Man Who Saved Me on my Isekai Trip is a Killer
A smutty kinda psychological plot--tbh pretty confusikg at times, but the art was very nice. Happy end, can't conplain. Didn't have high expectations from the start. Also ig there's an anime trailer for this out there lol
Yonin no Nibiiro
Solid psychologi al read Cover is NOT a bait & switch. TW incest & rape...but everything felt weirdly balanced? The end was solid Dang. Super screwy--honestly didn't expect anything how it progressed. Not mad at the ending at all. Especially 15.5, that was the best chapter by far.
Kiraide Isasete
6.7 Reread after some more volumes came up. So glad they continued the story--the family dynamic is amazing, and the friends and other couples you meet is very wholesome. There was a lot to overcome, bith small & large. Top tier rec. It is a bit smutting at times tho...there's a reason they have so many kids lol There is some triggers in this, but the poor ml that was assaulted does NOT get together with the perpetrator. This story deals does with some real topics and issues, but the development of the plot and the final ending was beautiful. It is worth the read for those that can get through it.
