Standby Kiss - Ore no Senzoku Secret xx
7.5/10 This author is a gem. The pacing is a bit too fast at times, but the characters are nice and the smut is good.

7/10 *TRIGGER WARNING- Rape, Paedophilia* This is a difficult one to rate. The smut is pretty great and the main couple is cute, albeit extremely dysfunctional. There's just a bit too much yikes in their dynamic sometimes with the uke often begging the seme to stop before or during sex. It's nowhere near as bad as some stories, but it can leave a bad taste in your mouth. This story also has some DARK content which could be difficult for some readers to stomach. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. I had a good time reading it but there's a lot of stuff that comes across as weird once you hit the post nut clarity. If you liked this I recommend "Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai" for a slutty uke with a similarly dark backstory or (if you can handle the YIKES opening chapter) "Dakaretai Otoko Ichii ni Odosarete Imasu".
Penthouse XXX
8/10 God, I love this couple. They're both such loveable dicks, lots of fun to read about. Highly recommend.
Konna ore wo Suki Toka Majika
6/10 *Trigger warning- sexual assault* Mixed feelings on this one. Top is kinda awful but also earnestly sweet at the same time. Sexually assaults the bottom and wanted to rape him, very weird. Ends up being cute but there are way better stories if you want a cute couple.
Crash Into Me
Edit- 3/10 side story ruined it, sorry gamers. 8/10 *TRIGGER WARNING* Rape + sexual assault Okokok, I LOVED and kinda hated this? The start I wasn't super sold on but once this couple gets together? Holy shit. These two are so fucking cute and HOT HOT HOT. I'm not usually the type to gush but I really enjoyed their dynamic. Despite giving this an 8/10 and enjoying it, I do have some complaints- The rape I REALLY didn't need to see. I'm sick to death of seeing this trope in yaoi. Also, while I'm glad they didn't linger on the love triangle shit with the workmate it seemed like it was dropped super quickly with like no resolution? It just seemed very pointless. Plus there's one or two times where the top does some iffy stuff but he's mostly incredible sweet and ALL about the service (plus he is really hot).
Love or Hate(Yeongha)
8/10 This story harmed me. My heart and soul have been HARMED. The ending is satisfying even though my favourite didn't win (why do I always have secondary ML syndrome). I love that the author makes these characters flawed in (mostly) realistic ways and I'm overall glad I read this. I'm jealous of the people who will get to read this all the way through with no cliffhangers, fuckers!
Sugar Dog Life
8/10 The whole package, wholesome couple, great side characters, nice art. The sex scene was kinda average and not really necessary, although the solo masturbation scene was interesting for the facial expressions.
