My Dear Aster
A story that showcased a mother's unconditional love for her daughter, and a daughter who would give everything for her mother to be happy. Honestly, I'd be lying if I said it wasn't frustrating to see Lihen being wishy-washy with her feelings throughout the story. I understand she was struggling, but perhaps it was difficult for me to connect to her struggles as I'm not a mother myself. I truly felt for Schdermel when she decided to break his heart when it was her who approached him in the first place. The ending is great, though the side-stories did feel a bit rushed. I wish we could've seen a bit more of Aster's new life where she could embrace it and be happy. Instead, we suddenly went from her being 8 y/o to a time where she, her mom, and dad are gone, and it's just Gilbert in his later years of life reminiscing about the past. Though I do like the message of him not turning back time because he's satisfied with his life as it's a good conclusion for the plot.
Legend of the Snake Cave
I came here for snake smut but this ended up being a wholesome story QwQ Of course the smut is still there, but there's also this evil snake god that turns into a golden retriever for Yeon-hwa, so cute. Wish there was more of their shenanigans tbh, but this is a nice short read and the art is amazing.
