I'm glad it's a happy ending. More melancholic though since he's still forgetting yesterday.
Kimi ga Inaku Natta Fuyu no Umi
Ch. 3 Good trope, what can i say. - Dude got into an accident but then his lover(?) got amnesia (idk why tbh).
A Room Without Window
Ch. 5 end?¿ Interesting twist but I read the comments so got spoiled beforehand sadge. - Dude thinks he got kidnapped by a psychopath that cut his leg off but he's just got ptsd from a zombie apocalypse.

Idrk know what to rate this tbh. Like some parts made me frustrated cuz they're all flawed characters (except the child he did no wrong and is so precious i can't) especially the mcs, like neither of them are solely at fault imo, and like they said they just made (detrimental) mistakes. Objectively, it was a good story, the development was interesting and it didn't drag. But as with all these crematorium stories, even after they reconcile i still feel unsatisfied. Though tbf i don't think they could've done much differently to make me feel otherwise other than change the entire story. I'm just petty, really. Just know that it was good, and the only thing stopping me from rating it is because none of the rating will do my thoughts on this justice. Four stars is too little and may look like it's lacking when it's actually pretty good. But five is too many as i don't think I'll be rereading this (unless I'm in a masochistic mood idk). So yeah. And as others have already touched on, the way they dealt with the MC's mental health was really good (lacking vocab but yk what i mean). I enjoyed his internal monologues and his rationales (even though they're not exactly rational most of the time). It was just intriguing to see how someone in his position thinks ig. Also i thought about it but ig I'm still not over how the conflict would've been solvable with proper communication, but snowballed into such a big issue that it became detrimental to all their lives and affected them so drastically. Feel especially bad for the child since he had to suffer without a proper family. (Also kinda fucked up how ml kicked the nanny out like while i get it i really thought the child would've been resentful and traumatised, they're lucky he's not) Also the one part that actually made me tear up and feel things was when the uke regretted his actions after meeting the child, lamenting the fact he never got to see him grow up. Like, that hurt. Good angst tho. - Dude with amnesia due to trauma gets brought out of the mental hospital by a man.
Placebo Memories
Ch. 27 end Was aight. The uke was hella frustrating though. - Guy likes his childhood friend but he lost his memories so he lies that they were dating
