Oh, the Flower That Bloomed on the Wall

Ongoing | | 2022 released

The story telling is hella confusing and seems to jump some important points, let alone have them in the correct order IF they get mentioned. It's not really interesting due to that and I do not bother with stories that fail at the intro already. Shame, since the art is really nice. :(

Chew Me up and Teach Me About Love

Ongoing | Pokerou | 2022 released

I'mma say it as it is; this is a hundred times better than Omegaverse could ever hope to be. (▰˘◡˘▰) It's amazing people drool so much over Omegaverse when you can clearly use the basics and create something that doesn't have rape at every second corner (as well as just being mental from the getgo and never adressing the well being of the Omega, mentally) and excuses behavior by 'thats how society works now'. The writing of this is SO much better than a felt 98% of Omegaverse out there. Actions are not excused by 'lol pheromones make horny, my bad, teehee. the law says its okay as does society (except omegas of course, because those are vermin that are just used despite them having great value)'. Instead, things are given rhyme and reason, each individual given inner and outer turmoil and monologue to clearly establish this is something serious and hard to go through but it can also be something sweet and purely smutty (but in a positive way). Something the VAST majority of Omegaverse simply glosses over shittily or entirely ignores because it's just mindless smut (which means; fucking is the focus, just like in porn). Let alone those that somehow pretend being scared and disgusted can be magically forgotten by the uke turning into an ahega-Ho in the next panel because his nips got twisted once (hentai bs logic). I would honestly replace all Omegaverse stories with this Theriomorphosis plotline. It would be an upgrade on all fronts. XD

Written in the stars

Ongoing | cheongdam | 2000 released

I'm 3 chapters in and I had already lost interest to 101%. And I DID try and read further but, it's not getting better. So I'm out. The art is nice, character designs too, but it's wasted on a plot about an absolute doormat special alpha seme and the bitch-bitch omega uke who doesn't care about others in the slightest. (note to all creators: narcissists are not appealing unless you make them a cute-type tsundere) I'll give the creator credit for turning the roles around at least, but it's still an unappealing setup I have really zero interest in. So I'm sadly going to drop this. Nice art tho, so I suppose for some people that can carry the comic. Depends on taste I guess. ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Love Level Up

Complete | Brothers without a tomorrow | 2000 released

I'll make this very quick unlike usual because I honestly do not have much to say. The art is decent, a bit wonky in terms of consistancy but oh well. Still good. :) The characters might not be everybody's cup of tea (because I am aware people cannot handle ACTUAL mental problems or traumatized characters and their behavior), but I can assure you that both the MC and his lover are pleasant all across the board, nothing toxic or too worrisome. I DO however find their characters a bit too shallow in a way, I wish we would have seen more detail to their personalities, habits, likes/dislikes, quirks and such, that would have made them perfect since it adds more depth. Now, for the only fault I could find; the feel of missing panels. There is a constant issue that broke my immersion because for some reason in almost EVERY chapter, there are moments in which I suspected there be panels missing but I think that is not the case and the author simply didn't do a good job at 'jumping info' with it all being smooth or simply ADDING info that would have cost maybe a panel with max 2 speech bubbles. Again, this issue is a constant throughout the ENTIRE comic. Which was a bit bothersome for me and it kept me from being fully engaged in the story because I had to fill in the missing parts in my mind before reading smoothly again, only to have it rinse and repeat. Often multiple times in a chapter. Definitely something they need to fix in their next work. Considering the second season got dropped, I almost have the suspicion of the author not really being into this story. That would also explain the careless, obvious and annoying mistake of the 'missing panel' feel. But that's just my guess. Either way, the story is pleasant, interesting and so are all characters, but it felt a bit mild altogether. Which is perfectly fine since these kinda stories are nice too once in a while. Not everything needs to be a rollercoaster. XD Anyway, worth a shot, but don't get your hopes up to see Eleven or the big brother get their part since the second season was cancelled. I was really interested in those characters getting their happy part. :/ Recommended as a mild-themed read. Kinda casual slice of life, if you so will. With lotsa smut to make it worth your while. Give it a try and let it simmer.

Blood Link

Complete | Brothers without a tomorrow | 2000 released

Super interesting plot with a really handsome seme (really, anyone except the MC is pretty tbh) but there are faults all across the comic tbh. Issues I found: Author/artist isn't good at showing different levels of expression. There is one happy face, one angry face, for ALL the range of said emotions. Not great tbh. :/ And even emotional shifts are not portrayed correctly or in detail. Mc suddenly gets pregnant due to a miracle basically? Barely any reaction himself, from the seme and the expressions are the same as if he had just won a free extra bag of chips. REALLY not a great standard. And this is not the only comic this seems to happen in. Author loves jumping info/skipping stuff and acting like it actually happened/rushing along randomly. Major logic issues and things the author simply ignores. First they can read minds, then all of a sudden that's not a thing anymore unless convenient. (He should have KNOWN about the pills, pregnancy and whatnot.) Where is the logic in worrying about the pregnancy and complications while happily going along with the idea of giving him vampire blood to eat (JUST because he has morning sickness even, how stupid) and entirely ignoring the 'vamp blood is essentially poison' and not giving a shit there if or if not it can affect or harm the baby? There is a lot of logic issues and things that reek of MacGuyver moments. It's not even funny.

Hold Over You

Ongoing | Money , 머니 | 2024 released

Alright, surprisingly 6 chapters is enough to write a review for this on the basics. XD (A review means critique/negative things being mentioned, so you have been warned.) I'll refrain from mentioning the major lack of logic for the characters or on the author's side but I have to mention these things. While the artwork is impressive, the plot is horseshit. VERY interesting at it's core, but the way it's done is just really unappealing. And the art is quite frankly the only thing that can save it. If this had ugly or mid art, people would likely not be bothering with it. Not only do we start of with rape, basically (even if it WAS in a dream, they were both sentient and 'there'), we also have both characters entirely ignore the situation if we're honest. Emotions in general are being portrayed weirdly. Especially since the entire comic seems to not be able to decide whether it wants to be a light-hearted comedy piece or an actual mental issue portraying dark comic. It hits neither of those spots well and dangles in the middle. I really find the basic story interesting, as goddamn mentally defective as this karma from a past life is, but if this was at least done in a cohesive way (not dnagling in the middle of two genres) and maybe NOT start out with rape that's being ignored, it would be SO much better. At this point I am utterly uninterested, as pretty as the art is and as interesting as the base story is. I just hope someone will make a copy-cat story of this in a good way someday, because this is honestly not appealing unless you have some problems or can ignore aspects such as rape and issues like the dangling genre thing. Either is worrisome to me tbh. XD I will not ever recommend this. Not even the art can give this points, the issues with the writing are just too big.
