Ambrosia's manga / #9.3(155)

80+

60+ 60: This got crazy but this is the type of relationship and character dynamics I like. A puppy type doting seme who isn’t actually stupid or naive. Smart and sharp but good natured, but I liked that he wasn’t just a nice guy but also showed his distaste and anger sometimes. He survived and won in the end with some plot armor, but was still clever. I like that he’s a gentle lover and can take a beating. His strength was his ability to shoulder burdens and continue to give his love openly despite getting hurt. The Uke was absolutely strong but also a bit psycho. Raised in that environment with that kind of mother and grandfather, it seems inevitable he that he’s ruthless. But he had good people in his life too and can be kind in private, but very spoiled. He’s violent but his spoiled and willful behavior was fun to watch, especially since the Seme dotes on and indulges him. The family/company drama wrapped up quite easily and added a sense of action/thriller and politics. Overall it was a very interesting read with strong characters that I liked and a dark edge. Writing was great, could be refined a bit but it was intriguing and entertaining.

list - quick, webtoon Aha this was surprisingly nice even if very smutty. I was suspicious of the seme at first and I was right to be suspicious but he's not a bad guy, just hopelessly in love. Also seems to have a bit of sociopath/psychopath tendencies in childhood? Or maybe just a lack of emotional understanding and awareness. It got surprisingly a bit dark there, but it made me understand his attachment to the uke more and why he's so clingy. They really do love each other and are very affectionate. Seme is super clingy and like a puppy but a bit pushy and obsessive, but here it's seen as cute since he knows if he acts out it will be bad for the uke and he doesn't want to do anything that would hurt the uke or make him hate him. Uke is quite easy going and accepting, and quite straightforward too. Overall nice read.
