Story is completed. In this dark story, high school elite Rurikawa (Wolf. Alpha. Male.) is a dominant species in a world of carnivores and herbivores. Instincts, beauty, and intelligence make him a desired breeding partner, but Rurikawa is looking for a rare special mate to impregnate. Other alphas won’t do, and betas are just food. So when he meets a lower species, Kyougokuin (Rabbit. Beta. Male.) Rurikawa is stunned to be overwhelmed by the need to breed the beautiful creature before him. Is it fate? Or is there more to this predatory bunny than being a real man eater? This story is definitely dark with horror themes. It makes it challenging to like the MCs when they are truly not very likeable. But they aren’t as 2D as they first appear with softer sides, loyalty and friendship keeping them interesting and ofc the babies in the school are very cute.

Completed stories. These stories are all set in a dwindling population world where cat/ human anthropomorphs have evolved to where both biological males and females are able to have babies. Similar to Omegaverse, it’s the release of pheromones that signal heat but it’s usually chosen by the one wanting to conceive, and usually only detected and irresistible to genetically compatible couples. The stories were mostly set around a modelling agency and had very different themes. From a purebred model x poor insecure orphan wanting a family, to an age gap young model x older manager and talent scout, to a doting young uncle x predatory nephew, these were all enjoyable.

Set in a beast world. The more beast features a being has, the closer they are to the Gods and the more magic they have. This is the story of; -Uni: Cat beastman (Scottish Fold). Magicless. Unwanted 5th son of the poor yet noble Baron Kuze family, Uni is given by his family to pay off their debts to Marquis Gran Anubis Majesta (Danna-sama). Unskilled, unloved, Uni gives his all into fulfilling his family obligation to his surprisingly caring Master, falling in love with the powerful beaatman and unlocking his own hidden secrets along the way. -Marquis Anubis: High status and fearless beastman, the master whose softness is reserved for Uni. Magically very powerful, Danna-sama gives his all to protecting the tiny cat man he falls for. This story follows Danna-sama and Uni falling in love and starting a family. Their babies are adorable and there are many blessings in their life. Together they face every challenge in this sweet fantasy story.

An ok short story about a shapeshifter tiger who raises the children his younger brother orphaned. When the boy and girl grow up, the older brother Yul, has developed romantic feelings for Beom but has to find the courage to confess. The plot was basic, there were moments that were very predictable, but the art was nice and the smut had some feelings attached. Translation was poor with respect to grammar but it was at least understandable.
