The Dreaming Trainer’s Ideal Master
Ummmm it was alright & pretty fun but as someone else also pointed out, the romanticization of human trafficking (orphans at that too) is soooo unnecessary. I suppose it presents the main couple in a less dubious manner to have that sort of an established exposition. I will say, I do love the main characters tho.

Mujintou Ni Motte Iku Nara
Although consensual....felt a bit dubious at best nonetheless. It's probably due to their lack of communication really, pissed me off. I liked their reunion tho & I AM a sucker for old friends to lovers so it was a fun read. Rating: 6/10 Average; 6 chapters in total
Delivery Hug Therapy
29 x 21 y.o. It was an alright read. I think the relationship development could've been a little more fleshed out. It felt abruptly fast. Dgmw I like clear communication instead of beating around the bush but I suppose it made sense for the characters. Rating: 6.5/10 (slightly) above average; 10 chapters in total
Kyou Mo Ashita Mo Asatte Mo
Teacher x Student as he graduates high school. Student falls for the teacher and confesses to him. The teacher rejects him (bc it's immoral) at first. They end up getting together after he graduates. The student is the top so that balances things out a little. The teacher looked young but I'm unsure just how big of an age gap they had because I don't think it was canonically discussed. LOVE THE ART + cute af stray cat (the teacher takes him in bc it has the same vibe as the student) is featured!!! Rating: 7 just a little above average; 10 chapters in total
Behind The Scenes Scandal
Welcome to the Yaoi Research Club
Yeah definitely not for me. It was just sooooooo exploitative?? like I get that they both like him (& he's gonna choose in the end??) but until then, they literally just paid him to be in this club and sexually assault him like that....? how do you do that kind of stuff to someone you like, plus he's low-income too and has to work multiple jobs to be able to afford his (frugal) lifestyle. these rich pompous kids paid him to just be doing things to him in the name of experimenting like??? the title had such good potential?? but it wasn't at all like how I envisioned it so that might be on me but goddamn????? Rating: would give it a negative. just gonna give it a 0/10; 7 chapters in total.
Retro BL
I just... some of them were well-developed but even the last one (as everyone seems to like that one esp.) I wasn't a fan of. The one with the brother-in-law felt like it had the most potential for me from how memorable it was. I really liked that one me thinks. A few had potential actually but yeah, I really need a few chapters of each story to really appreciate them better. Rating: 5/10 neutral; 8 chapters/separate one-shots
