The New Book's Counterattack
Honestly, IDK what I just read but it was pretty hilarious lmao. Giving it this rating for now just incase it gets more updates in the future ^^
No More Lonely Night
It's okay. The pacing and transition between scenes are iffy, so you really have to comprehend the storyline from what they give you. Basically the uke and seme hooked up (probably through dating app or smth), then later uke found out that seme wasn't a student but a teacher in his daughter's school. Uke seems very insecure about being loved since they seem to have past experiences of being left behind by alphas who claimed to 'like' them. Yeah, in the end he accepted the seme anyways and they live happily ever after ig. Overall it's not bad but not good either, probably won't read this again because it was confusing asf. Three stars still since I'm sure the author worked hard for this.
100% Love Gauge/Love Gauge 100%
Adorable short story ^^ This author has a very distinct style and I love it hehe The premise of the story is simple (a little cliche tbh but I don't mind lol) and it's so cute to see two fudanshi's meet then fall in love ;-; Overall I liked it a lot plus the smut is good :>>
Estio
The story is a bit slow, a lot of exposition happens in between but I don't really mind that much. Though I wish we'd find out more about Estio's real powers because so far we just keep getting small hints about it, other than the fact that we know what he is now. It seems like they're gearing up for something big now with the current chapters of S3, I hope the wait is going to be worth it :')
Ygret
Initially, I was only interested in this because of the fact that it takes place in the same world as Estio. It grew on me though, and I like how Egret isn't actually a flawless wise sage during his first life. He made mistakes, he's a coward, a kid that was forced to grow too early who suddenly got handed this power which was too much to handle for him when he couldn't even have a proper upbringing. In the first place all he wanted was to not be alone, but suddenly he has this power that can change the world and the first time he tried to use it thinking he could help others, things turned out for the worse. Speaking of how Egret handled his first life, seeing how his relationship with Freed, Reina, and Halder during the first timeline, I understand why it must've been so frustrating to see their father-figure wither away like that when they know that he could do better. However, I don't agree with the path they chose to get revenge on him. On the other hand, I do understand why Egret turned out to be a "coward" and not wanting to be too deeply involved in other people's affairs, or how he holds himself back from feeling too much (showing intense emotions), considering the first time he let himself do such a thing, he quite literally blew up a whole basement and including the humans inside there that he wanted to protect. Thinking about it from his perspective, I'd be scared too in letting myself feel. Because I know that my actions can bring about pain and suffering to people even if I actually had good intentions to help them. With this whole deal of the antagonist's situation. Honestly, I think Freed is obsessed and we can't really call what he's feeling for Egret to be just hatred or remorse. His feelings for Egret is so complicated that even if I'm seeing everything through a third person's perspective, it's difficult for me to make out what he really wants. I don't think he actually wants to kill Egret and that's what I'll believe until proven otherwise. It's quite an interesting premise, I didn't expect to get this hooked. Truth be told it is a bit slowburn on everything, but I do like the MC's personality and the growth he's showing us in this second life, so I'm looking forward to see how this story develops in the future.
Triangle lovers
I don't know how I feel about this to be honest. Saving myself the trouble and will just go ahead with not thinking about it too much; it's smut, there's a hint of poly, and they did DP. That's all there is to it lol
