Your wish is my command
I'm conflicted about this. We've learned that Chiwoo's and Hwan's feelings are mutual, but the way Hwan basically fucked Chiwoo while he was asleep rubbed me the wrong way. He didn't know Chiwoo was into him too, he didn't know the guy would probably like it since he was thirsting for him too. What Hwan did was rape. I don't like that. Also, the cute purple-haired guy that has a crush on Chiwoo seems like a much better choice. Update: Fuck this shit. I loved Make Me Bark from the same author, but this is absolute trash with pretty artwork. God. It doesn't get better, it only gets worse. Chiwoo, run! 2nd Update: Chiwoo realizes how fucked up everything is, how toxic, insane, and possessive Hwan is, and breaks up with him. Literally the best possible ending and why I'm raising my rating.
Vargoth's Magical Toys
Super cute, and I ADORE how consensual Arte is. Honestly, this would be an amazing story if it weren't for the fact that Eunwoo looks like a middle school kid (sometimes a really young highschooler). Even his "uniform" that he later gets is literally inspired after outfits for small kids. I know he's TECHNICALLY 21, but let's face it, he wasn't designed to look like one. I don't know if it was purposeful or not. Maybe the author was going for the "innocent uke" look and didn't realize they drew an actual child instead. I'll give them a benefit of doubt. But it's still off-putting and ruining an otherwhise-great story :( I can tolerate it most of the time, but the sex scenes make me absolutely disgusted, so I just skim over them really fast. Btw, I seriously hope we'll see Eunwoo become more competent, because it's clear that it's killing his confidence. And Arte needs to realize that constantly babying him won't actually help Eunwoo, it's doing the exact opposite.
Nevermore
Wow, i'm in love with this. The way it makes you think, the way it captivates your interest... Absolutely amazing
Red-Haired James
At first, I wasn't sure if I'd be into a story of a grown man adopting a kid who'd fall in love with him. But! This is nothing like I've imagined, the love, the pain, the hurt, the fluffiness, everything is so expertly woven together. I absolutely adore James and Henry, I'm in love with the story that's amazingly complex and full or emotions. I love Janet, the woman who became like a mom to James. I can't get enough of this story! Also, the super slow burn romance is really appropriate considering the setup, and I'm here for it. Highly recommend!
K's secret
So, I started reading this expecting a vampire romance. Now, it's super interesting as a story, but the relationship between the uke and the seme is extremely toxic. The seme is often abusive, doesn't care about the uke's consent, and once, he even hit him. He's also extremely emotionally manipulative, but the most terrifying thing about him is that he actually believes he's a good person and that he's treating the one he loves kindly. This would be ok if it were meant as horror, but, since it's yaoi, it's brushed off, even romanticized.
