Beware of the Full Moon In March

Ongoing | Choi song | 2019 released

Read: Ch.75 Season 1: Ch.1-37 (avoid that) Season 2: Ch.38-58 Season 3: Ch.59- Seme is an abusive rapist and cheating jerk, so arrogant and selfish. He rapes uke in a horrible and abusive way, which uke compares to his time in prison, even though seme is a fucking cop. The worst thing is that seme rapes uke knowing that the latter can’t fight back due to their power difference and him still being on parole. He’s even blackmailing him by saying that uke will just go back to jail for fighting back and injuring a cop. Afterwards, seme goes back to his gf every time, he’s not only an abusive rapist, but also a fucking cheater. He‘s fr just the worst in S1. The only thing he‘s got going for him is his pretty face and the 180 turn-around in his character and behaviour, after uke gets almost killed. Uke isn‘t used to affection and warmth, since he was always treated with abuse and rejection, wherever he went. He doesn‘t react much to sth or has to stay calm due to blackmail. Even though it‘s depicted as pretty cute and kinda fluffy after seme‘s change, the first two seasons still stick really deep.. his actions are unforgivable and it doesn‘t matter, how much of a redemption arc he gets, since he just went too far. He wanted to kill himself? He didn‘t do it. He injured his own hand? Just due to his own guilt, what does that affect uke now? Uke is full of scars and the prominent one on his hand is from seme raping him. The only plus point is seme rescuing uke, that redeemed him a lil bit, which is why this is still readable and especially since the whole romance arc finally started with uke still being distanced and seme getting rejected on an emotional level. Everything afterwards is so good: seme‘s possessiveness, jealousy and even his sulking. Wish, the author would have left some of the previous things out or depicted them differently. Their all fictional stories and rape/non-con is a common thing in toxic BL manwhas, but that was a tad too much to make seme likeable again. I‘m only staying for uke, just want to see him living a quiet and happy life.

The Dilettante

Ongoing | Jin soye | 2019 released

Read: Ch.54 Season 1: Ch.1-29 Season 2: Ch.30-54 Entertaining, but very simple and cliché. This story is pretty good actually, but not perfectly executed, which made it seem kinda cheap. Their romance is too rushed, one can‘t really feel the love building. It‘s more like physical attraction or MC reminding ML of his ex-gf, and even though him being hung up about his ex-gf is mentionend again and again in the beginning, there‘s literally never a kind of contact between ML and his ex-gf. They all meet and ML is only focused on MC, while his ex-gf is the typical nice and happy type, who‘s wants to get to know MC better. So all in all this could have been so good, but many parts weren‘t done well, so everything appears kinda simple and rushed. But nice ending for 2nd ML, who‘s the villain.

Groan

Complete | j1m | 2023 released

Read: Ch.10 Non-con/later dub-con Wish, this was a longer series than just these 10 chapters. Kinda avoid Ch.1-3, seme is a total playboy full of ONS. But starting from Ch.4, it’s pretty good. Seme turns from forceful to possessive and unknowingly pays attention to what uke likes or wants, so I guess it‘s fine. Uke was abused by his adoptive parents and ran away. After being homeless for some time, he found seme‘s empty mansion, started living there and stole the food. But he got found out, when seme came back.
