The Mountain Branches Dream of Goblins
16: love this supernatural goblin and ghost story, reminds me of fate makes no mistakes. Uke has an u fortunate constitution and had a hard life, kind of a rough spunky independent type. Seme is a dokkaebi who was imprisoned for thousands of years, kind of brutish and rough but also a bit silly and definitely has the makings of a puppy seme behind his hurt of being betrayed. Love the dynamic, art and story so far, smut was also really good. Looking forward to this one. Beautiful clean art!
Kouguu no Omega
list - 9.5+, bamf, top tier This was beautiful!! Both the art and story. We have it set in omegaverse, but it doesn't focus so heavily on the sex and thankfully no assault. It is more a story of royalty politics and civil war. The characters are well done and their bond and attachment is believable. I wanted to see even more of their romance, bc most of the time of them getting to know each other is when Khalid was younger, and though the romance doesn't truly start until they are reunited when he is 18, it feels at that point that they just fall into love with the previous affection they already established. They do fit well together and are comfortable and open with each other, but I'd like to see a bit more romance and moments between them. The war is the more pressing issue, with the usurper brother as a tyrant and their former wonderful land now destitute with war. It was beautiful to see the growth of the uke, from a cynical and hating the world and his omega status, to wanting to fight for his land and people, not only for the one he loves but also bc he truly wants to help and protect them. I really liked both characters, and I wish we could have gotten more time with Khalid to get more a sense of his personality. He's open and honest and honorable but also fairly stoic and a hard worker. A true king and commander. He does have his cute moments around the uke though, which is a nice dynamic. Uke is the beautiful queen type, clever and less cynical than before but still smart. It was a great read.
