Yuki to Matsu
Why? Why did I not want to to read this?! It was heavy and long and had a shit tonne of details but beautiful is beautiful. I loved the seme, such a kind soul. I don't think Yuki understands how much he hurts sensei every time he leaves. They grow old together! Of course they do! Was there ever any doubt? He breathes life into him. He creates him. God. Just, stunning
Warai Hitsuji to Naki Ookami
Huh. Don't understand the rating. I actually liked it quite a bit. Character growth was fast enough to disconnect chapter 1 from the rest of the chapters almost entirely. Or maybe the first chapter just didn't achieve what it wanted to. Either way, the story was cliched and simple. But the likability of the characters (seriously, 100+), the sincerity of their feelings and the lack of pointless antagonists made this a 4.5 for me
Gurume no Fukurami
Hein? Nanda? Nanda? Omoshiroi *.* Edit: ehhh. Maybe not as interesting in hindsight Edit: Some very hot scenes, not all. Loved the characters. Side characters very interesting but a bit more difficult to figure out. Main plot was neatly tied up but side plots were difficult to grasp at times.
Koishite Hoshii
It's really sweet and both of them are equally nuts about each other and Rei even changed his line of work to be with Makoto, unprompted. It's a typical plot line but they won me over by being A+ characters. The communication lines, the way they make time for each other, easily share each other's space and just plain genuinely care for each other are great
Retro BL
Chap 1: Good for nothing Saitou who is a struggling author without a penny to his name and no value of money and Mayuzumi who takes him in. Mayuzumi is in love with and has casual sex with the already married Saitou. 3.5* Chap 2: Aki and Yamato who share a dorm room, are boyfriends and can't keep their hands off each other 4* Chap 3: En is the lewd playboy apothecary and Tao is his assistant who has to put up with his sh*t. An aphrodisiac may get involved in the ensuing seduction. Sequel in tachi neko soudatsu 3.5* Chap 4: Fucked up beyond repair love triangle between non-blood related siblings, Kyokou and Haru and Shinobu, Kyouko's husband. The fact that he doesn't remember the sex gives me rape vibes. 2* Chap 5: Very short and bitter oneshot about snow that melts in the face of a long spring. Supernatural. 4* Chap 6: Maki, who's never lost a fight and Sugawa who was a leader in his peer group in his younger days but got overshadowed over the years and cannot stand losing to anyone. Not normally my kinda story but I can't help but enjoy how crazy Maki is about Sugawa, accepting him, complexes and all. 4.2* Chapter 7: Micchan, who was battling crippling depression and lost, and Jun who couldn't let him go. Uber dpressing. Jun never realised how serious Micchan's suicidal talk was and it warped him forever 2.5* Chap 8: Akashi, the servant and the chained Guardian Deity he was brought by force to service. Akashi is a pure little cinnamon bun. Glad the Guardian was gentle with him. The household can rot. Hypocrites. 5* Overall: 3.6*

No! Just. No. This is not a fucking ending, dammit! Honestly, this makes me so upset! How the heck does this get only 1 chapter but the shittiest plots get 20+?? How?? I think they're simply adorable together! Long live!
