From Points of Three
i thought the revenge plan was a good plot twist but i was disappointed that nothing came out of it ): i would have loved a 3p bc i liked blondie a lot. nevertheless, love seeing the top cry like a bitch and i honestly liked his struggles and resolve. protagonist was cool as well. liked that blondie bad his own story as well.
The Color of the Night
actually liked this despite flaws. the top already has feelings for the bottom, which is a bonus since every top in this context has a 'malicious' plan with the bottom and doesn't acknowledge his feelings. here, the top can actually get cute a couple of times? although i would have liked to see them both in more 'domestic' scenes. ✫ more development was needed. the relationship felt hollow since we only got 'closeness' with smut scenes and monologues; some non-sexual scenes would have done the trick and made more impact in their dynamic. ✫ the wold-building was... not that deep. their positions in the government made it sound like there was more going on behind the scenes, since bottom's life is threatened by his position as peace keeper. unfortunately, we only got like two times were he was in danger that were wasted... ✫ unfortunately, this is a common story about a top blackmailing a 'seemingly pure/stoic' bottom in an important position of power to corrupt them further. the only difference is that top has a crush already. even so, if you are into hardcore/bdsm/non-consensual smut with sadomasochism and were the bottom likes to be degrated, welcome, lol. ✫ art was so-so. it was cute in some parts and wonky in others. not that bad.
