Fate Makes No Mistakes
110+ 108: and incredible story with top tier writing and world building. Absolutely one of my new favorites as I knew it would be. Two main couples and I love them both, one is more sweet and one is more bittersweet with painful history. Reminds me a bit of Wolf in the House. First couple is sweeter and cute, with a fluffy lil silly seme, and normal uke. Second couple has a lot of history, seme is more stoic and tries to take responsibility and plan things on his own while the uke is strong and a bit tsundere. Second couple has a bit of enemies to lovers before you learn their story, and also reincarnation.
A Trace of the Wonder
list - 9.5+ 19: interesting concept and world building. Restorer power is pretty cool and MC seems to have his wits about him. ML is the manipulative type but in that manipulation is fairly kind to MC so far. However I’m not super drawn to either character and thus a bit bored of the story, and it seems like this is a very slow burn with barely any romance or affection in 70 chapters so…come back to this when it’s done. The story should be good since it’s based on a novel but I’m just not captivated by it.
Half of Me
59: fantastic!! Interesting and unique premise with great characters and a dose of comedy. The characters have distinct personalities and back stories, and are quite different from the usual tropes. Uke is straightforward and tough, a hard worker and can come across as uncaring or unsympathetic but really he’s just a bit simple minded and not too fussed about the little things. He can be a bit dense but he’s a good guy and the people around him know that. Seme is quite stony and unapproachable, used to be more lively as a teenager in the past but his world kind of crumbled around him and now it seems he’s disillusioned and has trust issues. He’s pretty expressionless so far. They have an interesting bickering dynamic right now that is highly entertaining. Uke can be quite childish in his news to win every argument and talk back smartly. He’s always got a quick witted comeback and an even quicker temper. Love it so far.
