PLACEBO: Let's Play

Ongoing | Cuke Soap | 2023 released

Yeah no thanks. If I want to see rape I'll just go to the old classics. The art is very nice but the plot is horseshit. Enjoy to whoever likes this fvcked up stuff but I'm out. Gotta cleanse my eyes with something after this. :D

I Am Selling the Main Character's Shares

Ongoing | 목감기 mokgamgi | 2022 released

It's an okay read and maybe a good one if people like this cliche story plotline. But I really REALLY dislike this plot. I'm sick and tired of MCs being dumb and generic when it comes to these stories. The 'husband that went to war so the wife feels estranged and hates him so she wants to leave' trope is ok as is, but it's generally VERY obnoxious and free of healthy reasoning. None of MCs halt their anger or pissy attitude, even AFTER it is revealed that the husband never recieved messages despite sending some himself. The girls never even spare a thought to the other party's side, they NEVER try to figure out who the real one to blame is and they never try to solve the misunderstanding and get back together with their initial partner. I am SO tired of this. Especially since the writing always portrays the husband as a psycho and goes apeshit for no reason and suddenly obsesses over the woman so he can easily be portrayed as a generic 'red flag ML' and the readers are supposed to cheer for any dude that comes along and helps the MC. There is more to the side of the male character, but it is NEVER portrayed well, never explained, never written to feel sympathy/empathy for him, it only focuses a woman who treats her first assumptions as hard facts, gets angry and runs away and never EVER lets up on said anger even after she should if things are revealed. This, generally, makes the GIRL the red flag to be honest. It's obnoxious, unhealthy or even toxic and just really free from any reallife human reasoning (unless you're a dumb cunt of course or a literal/mental child with an immature personality who cannot manage adult thinking). I'll drop this at chapter 8. Not just because of the dumb trope, but also because of the weird and really really dislikable setting of the story. I mean, come on. 'Guide'/Gods playing with people's lifes and killing them if they are not as interesting as others? People having to act like a shitty shoujo MC to get the readers to give them likes to stay alive (which means they do everything for likes, NOT because they like the person they interact with)? FUCK NO. That's just a really shitty and disgusting setup in all ways. That's some of the worst world settings I have ever come across tbh, and I've seen some shit in my 15+ years, mind you! I'm out, enjoy if you don't mind the logic, tropes and setting, but I really do not like it nor would I say it's a good story, much less one i'd recommend.

Peach Boy (Yooyoung)

Ongoing | Yooyoung | 2023 released

Yeah no. The art is WAY too much of a turn off to work as fap material (the artist overdoes it with ugly expressions and angles they simply cannot draw well), the story is dumb as hell and really makes it obvious it was just thrown together to excuse different sorts of fuck-scenes and the characters are overall just not appealing/uninteresting since they have no personality. Very disappointing, but another reminder to not bother with these kinda comics. Give it a try, if you have no high expectations for borderline perfect art and good writing, this can be for you.

Into The Thrill

Ongoing | Leefail | 2022 released

It's been a while since I've read a comic that made zero effort to make the MC likable. At all times btw. Not once was there a moment he seemed ok even. Why do authors think writing characters like that will make people read their stories past the first chapter or two? Even the worst villains NEED something likable about them (charisma being the most popular choice) but if your main character doesn't even compare to a villain, that's just bad writing tbh. I know some people like reading stories about toxic trash (not sure why) but I've lost interest even halfway through chapter 1, let alone the others. Have fun to anyone that likes it. I'm gonna look for something that makes me want to read it. XD

Pavlov's Dog

Ongoing | ji chuan | 2019 released

Even in one of the latest chapters the ML is STILL a jackass with no likable personality. I'm dropping this. Yet another chinese work with the same flaws. That's disappointing. I'm not a fan of the writing tbh. 7 chapters in and there were multiple moments in which the author switched scenes and forgot to give crucial information of what happened inbetween, which made the scenes weird, incohesive or it felt like pages were missing. It's not time skip scenes per se either, in chapter 6/7 for example the boss suddenly pops up and the interaction suggest he interacted/was seen by the MC before....which didn't happen. It might seem minimal but when reading it throws you off and out of the immersion. Not to mention it makes you double check to see if you missed a page or even a chapter (if you took a small break from reading). The story itself is very interesting, the translation good and the characters nice, but the writing feels more on the amateur side given this simple mistake in writing. as for the flaw in writing, to simplify it: an author making the mistake of NOT portraying something that THEY know happened, but the reader does not. It might seem minimal or unimportant if you're not used to advanced writing, but for experienced readers this'll likely be a bothersome flaw. I hope it doesn't keep being this way, since I really find the story nice.

Isekai Otokonoko Biyaku Henai Cool na Ansatsusha ♂ ni Biyaku o Mottemitara

Ongoing | Shinsei lolishota | 2022 released

Another great smut art comic ruined by a fat ugly bastard as the one that nails the hot bottom. Just puke-worthy.

Stigma (Doo Down)

Ongoing | Doo Down,Kangpucon | 2000 released

Just another Omegaverse story that excuses the heat/rut dynamic to justify rape or make it more acceptable. Which is really laughable considering the author mentioned 'its against the law to bonk if one of the people does not consent' and then immediately proceeds to show just how little the Male Lead gives a shit. Both characters aren't really introduced in a way that make them emotionally connected to me. Especially the male lead is simply displayed as a 'cool dude' with a shitty personality. I guess there's plenty people who like that and I too do like those plots, but not with this constant, smut-dumbfvck logic of using heat/rut as an excuse to get away with what is nothing else than a mix of 'drugged up rape meets mind control'. It's just not enjoyable unless you have your dick out already and stuble upon the smut scenes maybe. As fap material this is surely fine for many, as a self-insert I can totally see that. But as a story in general? Really not. The art is ok but the artist has some issue they need to fix with their wonky anatomy at times. The writing is just as trashy as one can expect from smut-Omegaverse so I'll not bother saying anything more. This is really boring and predictable to me, we've seen this at least 10 times before in other comics. In EXACTLY the same way too. There's nothing new here and the personality of the ML is just a major ick factor (to put it nicely) that makes me loose all interest. Give it a go, but be warned that this is just nothing special in any way. Not my thing, so I'll look for something more original and pleasant to read instead.
