Consensual sex. Strong, smart and competent uke. Meaningful relationship. What a gem this is *.*

Jiwoon's so desperately in love with Suha. My heart kind of breaks for this broken, repressed man. Fucking hell, his life is actually so bloody miserable. I really think this unhealthy one-sided love is going to backfire spectacularly on Jiwoon. Not on does Suha not love him back, he's also the perfect weak point for everyone else to exploit. And Jiwoon sure has a lot of people who don't wish him well. Edit: Of course, they ended up together. I really don't think they're good for each other, I don't think Suha had the capacity to deal with what a mess Jiwon really is. But the side stories of the second couple do seem to be showing the OG pair getting along quite well. Well. I really, really hope it continues. At least, I'm glad he didn't forgive his terrible parents. They are the actual worst. The second couple, though... I feel so bad for Dohyuk, but he's still absolutely a grade A arsehole. I cannot believe there are hoards of people in the comment section defending him. He's really indefensible. I hope he takes the time away to actually become a human being. Siwoo isn't great, but he's not the fucking issue, ffs. Fans can be so fucking deranged. That said, I hope the people who raped Dohyuk will rot in hell. Fuck them. Ch 149

1: Seme is somewhat rapey but I honestly didn't hate the story. It just wasn't amazing either. Ryou, a rich heir who is being isolated in his own company after his grandfather's death, summons a demon (Bel) out of boredom and the demon ends up being the best damn secretary 4 2: Story about Phi, the younger looking demon whom Bel mentors, who comes looking for Bel, and the shady as fuck infirmary sensei who works in Ryou's company. Blech. Too young looking, even if he is hundreds of years old. 3 3: Story about a neglected uke whose family is full of elites who undermine and belittle him for not being as smart. He's retaking his uni entrance exams and summons a demon to help with the studying, only, it was the wrong kinda demon 4.3 Overall: 3.8

In the very beginning, I did think Qiu Yu was being somewhat unreasonable, and especially worried about Xiao Hua being take advantage of, given how naive and sincere he is. But now, I truly do see, how they both wield equal power in this relationship. I love many of the side characters. The siblings are wonderful and the best friends were just great, made the whole thing that much more enjoyable. I dislike Qiu Yu's parents, but I do think he is handling them well. Who knows, maybe he'll get them to come around. Glad that Xia Hua's mom had a change of heart. She was great!! The real annoying character in all of this so far, is Yao Jian. What a self centered asshole! But I feel like Xiao Hua's creepy ex may also make another shitty appearance. Additionally, I also really liked Lan Yang and the Elder brother's story, but again, their path looks rife with hardships. Unless, of course, the first two get accepted, thus making it smooth sailing for the elder bro, who even has a kid already (maybe that counts for something with the rents?) 5

Ryunosuke, a jaded rich guy, gets forced to work at his Dad's company by the persistent secretary, Chihiro Personally, what Chihiro did will never be okay with me. Rape is rape. He also blackmailed him using photographic evidence. His intentions may have been right and he may love Ryu, but nothing makes it okay. I enjoyed Ryu's backstory and growth, but the way their relationship started sours this experience for me. 3.4

1: Akagi never had friends except for Ichimori, the judo club member whom Akagi was in love with. When an injury caused by Akagi pushing him away means Ichimori cannot practice judo anymore, he demands Akagi to pay with his body. Akagi is elated, yet his guilt mounts and he ends up running away. However, a few years later, Ichimori finds him again. I think you do need a pushy approach with people like Akagi who are so insecure and unsure. He did what he had to do. Also really glad he didn't want to continue judo. Otherwise, it would have sucked. I wish Ichimori hadn't waited so long to push the issue. Also, the sex scenes could have been so hot if they had gotten the power play just right. But even as it is, not bad. 4.6 5: Akiho is used to being pushed around by the young master of the estate where his grandfather used to work as a gardner. As Hisakuni's secretary, Akiho's life is much the same. Until he gets injured because of Hisakuni, who offers to bath him and take care of him until he heals! Loved the switch. Unexpected and fun. But again doesn't quite deliver. 4.5

oh, ffs! surely, it cannot be that difficult to keep your dick in your pants? come the fuck on!
