Painter of the Night(Yahwacheop)
The fact that probably both Inhun (the scholar) and Seungho (nobleman) are taking advantage of Na-kyum is just‐ I can't. The rape also, it's not just plain horrifying to read, it's also heartbreaking. It's devastating. I mean, he thinks he is making love with the scholar, after all. This is pretty hard to read. But I'll read on because I am rooting for Na-kyum to be happy
The Wolf King May Not
I'm already mad, but I'm willing to give it a chance Edit: Ji Xiaobei's book smarts and competence are right up my street. His growing sense of self worth ince the bewilderment has settled in, certainly does not hurt. Lu Bailang, as ever, is a bag of dicks. I hope Ji Xiaobei makes him beg. Really interested to see where this goes. Glad to see no rape, so far Edit: How can someone so intellectually developed be so incredibly stupid?? How?! Why would a simple friend put their hand on your but and stuff? He needs to assert himself way more than this! Also hate the way the story flows. Characters reactions to certain situations makes it seem like certain things that happened in previous chapters didn't happen at all. It's like ever chapter is a reset. Especially, the end scene and beginning scenes of adjacent chapters don't sync at all! They start on completely different scenes. It was really annoying. Storyline is still very interesting. His friend is such an evil bitch, it makes the entitled and arrogant but still obviously infatuated with Ji Xiaobei Bailang look like an angel! If Bailang saves him in time, that'll seriously gi a ling way towards his redemption
Ousama no Kyuujitsu
Crazy interesting. Good rich guys who take care of lonely young souls. Who wouldn't live this? 4th Guard vibes but really unique too, in a really good way
Our House Love Trouble
First of all. All 3 stories in this collection range from dubcon if you squint, to potentially noncon to straight up rape. So you kind of have to remove yourself from the story a bit, if you really want to enjoy it. 1st: Nono is honestly pliable and agreeable to the point of being ridiculous. He's an airhead beyond all airheads, and there's no doubt that Hibiki took advantage of that. Not the first time- that was a misunderstanding so absurd, you kind of have to laugh at it, at that point. That said, I do really like Nonohiko, he's precious and kind and hardworking, even if way too naive. Hibiki, as mentioned, was pretty underhanded in the beginning, but quickly resolves to treat Nono right, which improves his rating in my books by leaps and bounds. It's not the perfect story, but it's just the right amount of fun and titillating in a shallow sort of way I really enjoy. 5 2nd: Yuusuke and Kaname's story was the most interesting of the bunch, just because of the kinks involved. The size kink plus teasing combo makes this pretty hot, if you can ignore the blatant noncon. I'm not proud of it, but I enjoyed this. 5 3rd: Apparently, we've found the line. And it's at *checks notes* revenge sex. Well, it was clearly just rape, when it began. He consented halfway-through, which grays the lines a bit. But overall, I found it somewhat disturbing. 3 Overall 4.3, but I'll still rate it 5, because I still enjoyed the first two
Marry you? Yes, I will!
I'm vibing hard. Even though this ain't my flavour. Smart seme and somewhat stupid but still makes you want to root for him kinda uke
Pheromone Shower - Omegaverse Short Stories
An assortment of shitty rape stories... is what I was going to say. But that would be extremely unfair to the last story. 1: Kei, who hated all betas because he was jealous of them, and Mei, who pretended to be a beta in highschool. Story revolves around how Mei pushed Kei into a corner by isolating him, fueling his gambling, and leaving him neck deep in debt. Mei is the epitome of a shitty, entitled seme/alpha. I hate it so much! His reasoning is defunct, man. Sure, Kei isn't the nicest character around, but he's far from terrible and certainly, has lived a sad life, and deserves better. Also, I just plain do not like mangas with gambling addicts. 3.3 12: Hyun Jung seduces his supervisor, Shi Woo, then uses nepotism to blackmail him into sleeping with him, whenever he wants. This fucker's like "I'm not raping you, just using my nepotism to blackmail you (over the time I dragged your hammered ass to a hotel for sex), and make you do something sexual that you clearly said you don't want to do”. I mean, I'm not about to take the high road after all these dubcon and noncon yaoi I've read (some of which I have even enjoyed), but let's all call a spade, a spade, yeah?! And the training abroad thing is also so lacking in body autonomy and consent, this manga is just out to rape this guy in every which way possible! I don't find this funny or entertaining. 2.2 23: This one is so intriguing and plot heavy, it feels so out of place in a collection like this. I only wish there could be a couple more fluff and switching chapters to make up for all the hardships and suspense in the bulk of the story. Min Hae-il is a gambling addict (or is he???) who gets saddled with taking care of Suh Lim, the kidnapped rich guy, who's being questioned on the whereabouts of some documents connecting his brother to multiple corruption cases (his brother is the one trying to keep Suh Lim in check, because he knows too much, and everyone is aware of the fact). The amount of little side plots and character development here amazes me, honestly. You hardly find that in a 10 chapter yaoi. I love the twists, and honestly, some the side characters were top notch as well. Suh Lim got really lucky he was surrounded by good people who cared about him. The way Suh Lim grew as a person was staggering. I love this story!! 5 Overall : 4 Edit: sequel for last story is right here!!
A Prince in a Luxurious Mansion
Kanta is a poor art student whose flat is being demolished. Having nowhere to go, he takes up the richest dude in the art department on his sudden offer of free lodging. I love how Touji had noticed Kanta well before the incident and Kanta already meant something important to him. Kanta could have trusted him a bit more, but he himself was going through so much already, being from a poverty stricken family, striving to keep his scholarship and working hard to pay for everything else. I guess I can see why he was so suspicious of someone's sudden good will. I love how they provided for each other in different ways. They are good together and it absolutely feels like they'll last. The sex was so vivid and hot. I couldn't get into it but definitely recognise how well done the scenes are 4.7
Standby Kiss - Ore no Senzoku Secret xx
Aoi, the love child of a rich and influential family, is always being targeted by dangerous schemes of the branch families, so his family hires a bodyguard, who turns out to be a classmate Aoi used to bully. I don't get it? I don't get the who or why or how of this being rated fucking 9.3? Aoi used to bully Ryo, and was in love with his half brother Midori, but suddenly and kinda overnight, he slept with Ryo and his feelings just switched over? What??! This story makes no sense. Ryo too, in the beginning, couldn't seem to decide whether he resented Aoi or loved him. He was pretty mean too, with the sex (although it was SO hot, ngl). If only the feelings had progressed over the 9 chapters, this would be great, but as it is? 4 10: Kano gets mistaken for Aoi (his rich friend) and attacked in the street by Kanzaki's partner (he's a PI). Kano falls instantly in love with the kind and stragely conscientious (for his line of work) Kanzaki. Second story's honestly much better than the first. I do believe they were fated. I would have rated it 5. It's just that, what the heck was up with living apart, cutting off contact and taking years and years to become a man worthy of him?! Man, what a waste. 4.7
