The Time a Gangster was Reincarnated as Ranmaru Mori
Hashihime of Old Book Town
Bad Friend
list - 9.5+ 60+ Wow this was a great read! Plot, romance, action, mystery, betrayal, love, it hit every point I wanted it to. The bickering childhood rivals dynamic was a great start, with a natural evolution of sexual curiosity and intimacy that grew to a great love nurtured by the years apart. This is a couple that would truly die for each other, and it was great to see their deep love. Even better that everything was consensual, and just the right balance of romance and steamy scenes mixed in with the plot. Great characters too with our mischievous but righteous uke and serious but smirky seme. Both strong and smart, capable and noble, with a great friendship foundation and loving bickering. Set in a world of murim martial arts that I usually don’t read, but it was really well done and easy to follow.
