Unfinished Business

Ongoing | Ant studio | 2022 released

And ANOTHER one for the shitty omegaverse list. Can these authors stop being degenerates please?

The Golden Wife-in-Law

Ongoing | Juki , Boss | 2024 released

Okay, yeah, but no. The baseplot of marrying a noble to an un-alived lady was VERY nice, but this quickly got ruined by literally everything else such as: The male lead has literally zero pleasant qualities about him. The female lead is just not pleasant either and the way too long dragging of the family circumstances from both of them were not well done either since the certain level of hook-factor was just missing in every way. The art cannot carry this either, it's mid at best. So I really see no reason to read more of this. I do not care for the politics, not for the ML or the FL or even just the art. Even the names are forgettable, boring and overused. How many Calix'es have we had in these stories so far? Can people PLEASE be more creative with names. Hell, even calling him Steve would be more original at this point. WTF. XD This might be nicer for younger, preferably constant-horny readers with less of a focus on good storytelling, high tier art and interesting characters tho. So the smut can probably carry it for some unexperienced readers. For advanced readers; there's nothing of worth here except the new idea of marrying an unwanted noble to a non-alive person. THAT was the only interesting aspect here. And I hope this plotbase gets used by a better author and gets turned into a comic with (hopefully good art) and effort put into character personalities and likability. Among many other things. It's not a good story in any way except the bare base, so I would not ever recommend this. Maybe the smut is good to get your rocks off, but I will NOT bother waiting for those chapters to show up. This is a chore to read.

After Staring at the Starry Sky

Complete | Kida bisco | 2019 released

This is a review, so be warned to click away if you cannot stand critique: As adorable as this is and as lovely as the base story is; the writing isn't good. Feelings do not seem to settle or come to be as well as they should and the absolutely random and sudden shift from antsy fanboy to suddenly kissing and being on the same page as if they had been together for a while now was WAY too weird. It felt like a rough draft of a teenager's story that someone randomly serialized. I could ignore the aspect of emotions not being brought forth for the reader unless they have not much experience with how it works, but the total randomness of them jumping from aquaintances to 'oh yeah, we are both totally into each other' was just bad in every way. It was random, there was ZERO hint at any of this except from the MC and in general it was a weird choice, as if the author had no idea or could simply not be bothered with investing a single chapter into getting to that part. Which was really disappointing. It was a lovely base idea but ruined by the execution being so random and lackluster. I think it can work as a nice read for people who have not much experience with writing or have in mind that they already know each other (just skip chapter 1, then it somewhat works tbh). But for experienced readers who care for good writing and realism in how people interact/react or become lovers; this is just gonna disappoint. I wouldn't recommend this but I do hope the author creates better stories in the future, maybe even tries to re-do this story. I'd love to see that. :)

ONE DAY A GANGSTER

I am honestly not sure if it's the writing or the translations. Based on the grammar I would actually say it's the writing tho. Things just seem VERY unrealistic in how anything is going here. It would not happen from what i know that an unidentifiable body is shown to a relative, which would be pointless AND mentally scarring. The behavior of the detective is weird and unprofessional, random even. Nothing is explained as to wtf an unregistered individual here even means and and the love interest that appears behaves REALLY really damn stupid and random. Kinda like a 13 year old would imagine a cool mafia dude being like yet only having MOMENTS of him behaving like a literal thug without anything making sense. It's not pleasant to read. And i do NOT mean the translations. They seem decent enough, given we have no major grammar issues that pop out. So it ALL being a mistranslation cannot be the problem, especially since the pictures themselves do simply not make more sense even if we tried to make the text make more sense in our minds. I think I'll wait for the official translations to be shown for one chapter, but I honestly do not think this is a good story.

To My Creepy Boy

Ongoing | Burano,부라노 | 2000 released

I cannot read more than 2 chapters of this. The writing is shitty tbh and VERY random and rushed, the characters weirdos and very dislikable (and I do not mean the 'creep' alone btw). The art is okay but the story is so bad I really have lost all interest there initially was with the description. This is probably a good read for people not looking for sense, rhyme, reason or smooth and coherent writing skills. Or if you're REALLY bored. 1 outta 10 but only barely.

Yatamomo

Complete | harada | 2014 released

I really need to remember to check info before just reading when bored. I am getting flashbacks to my early days of fucked up yaoi reading. I should have checked the author name. ╥﹏╥ Now I gotta go look for fluff to cleanse my memory. Which will take years. AGAIN. I just had forgotten most horrors of Harada after these 10 years! (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Anyway, even if this is still a 'happy story' from Harada: Stay away if you cannot stand the following. - Parents pimping out their children - Child R@pe & Prostitution (Christ on a stick, get the holy waterfall for me please) - Shitty parents behaving like trash and not being sorry - General Whores, both bottoms and tops - Regular rape - Prostitution because you have literally nothing else in life - People treating the MC like trash and a fleshlight - Betrayal in various colours of the rainbow - and some more things I am trying to forget already If you're looking to be sad and disgusted as well as mentally scarred: This is for you! :D If you want to keep your sanity: Run. RUN. RUN NOW. And don't you EVER read any other works from this author! There's a good fuckin' reason the term Harada-esque was coined after this author created so many fucked up stories they became the god of the genre and all other creators works were judged by their standards of writing fucked up shit. Spare yourself the years of haunting. I know the writing is good, but that is only to lure you in before you get the hell beaten outta your innocent mind! RUN. Do not become like me, child!!!! (/TДT)/

I’m a Cat, but I Was Adopted by a Wolf Family?

Ongoing | 노찬주,Mihy,윤달 | 2022 released

The writing paired with the art in the start is VERY shitty. With something as heavy as this happening in the start os the story, you have ZERO business drawing cutesy chibi faces unless the mood was supposed to be comedic; which it clearly was NOT. Both the art and writing are low tier. Something teens can enjoy for sure, but noone with any sort of quality standards. Art is just as low effort and below mid tier as the writing. So there is really nothing of interest to me here.
