Shousetsuka no Shitsukekata

Complete | Asai Sai | 2016 released

3.25 stars. Great writing, but all the separate short stories weren't my cuppa. Each seme had a sinister side and I wasn't a fan personally

The Taste of the Hand

Ongoing | Udeuseutori,Kempeuem | 2000 released

I don't actually mind it too much as its a more psychological look at a bored and unsatisfied housewife finding her own sexual awakening (in pretty cheap ways pushed by her frenemy) while her ugly husband cheats on her. This in definitely not a romantic read and the dialogue and pace kinda sucks and goes nowhere, but if u skim through all that try-hard bullcrap, this story is tolerable smut at best. I'm also not a fan of watching ugly, old perverts do stuff to young women. The ending was pretty anticlimactic but the new/ second story seems intriguing. Maybe because the new cast is actually young and good looking. Update on 2nd story: much more intriguing than the first. Not romantic at all but much more sexier. Fingers crossed it stays good! Update 2nd story ch55: husband technically has wife molested/raped not violently, but unwillingly. Defo not a light read.

Color Recipe

Complete | Harada | 2015 released

It's actually romantic and cute in a super disturbing/obsessive and scary/illegal kinda way. Vol2 started to get less enjoyable due to seme doing bdsm to an unwilling uke.

Escape into Oblivion

Complete | Gawee | 2017 released

Took a while for me to warm up to, but as the storyline and characters started developing, I grew to love it. Hot smut too. Uke kept cheating on seme at the beginning just to be chased, but I can overlook that as he's stopped and reflected. Update ch29: all the uke's love interest characters look the same and I'm so confused with every flashback or memory :(

Bright Light Sprout

Complete | Ichikawa Kei | 2000 released

uke is being pedo’d by OM (not MC hero), so I tagged rape. No smut with hero yet. Update vol2 ch9: MCs finally did it. Need more!! Ending update: still loved the story but wished it didn’t just cut off like that. Feels so inconclusive. The epilogue was really the past and had nothing to do with the 2 MCs so was unnecessary

I'm Yours, Blood and Soul

Complete | GyaGa | 2000 released

Great story so far. Has intertwined side story of another couple which seems darker. I like them both but I don’t love it

Rabbit Hole

Complete | Hayangji,Youngmo | 2000 released

Young housemaid, older man with grown kids and a wife hospitalised with cancer. Got all intriguingly messed up towards the end and I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Miss Mystic

Complete | Yiseul,Jim Tiji | 2000 released

Seems interesting. The hero is lusting after a girl on the train but has a girlfriend so, although I hate those kind of guys, there is something interesting about this story. Update ch7: the guy is a cheater Update ch78: wow I nearly gave up on this around ch50 as it was turning into everyone having sex and the plot goin* nowhere, but then all the puzzle pieces started coming together and it got interesting again. Update ch89.5: is extra continuation that follows secondary couple and I liked it better than main story (even though the heroine in this story didn’t deserve her 2nd chance)

If You Tell Me To Do It, I'll Do It

Complete | YD | 2000 released

I’m intrigued. Let’s see how long the entertainment lasts before I DNF cos it’s a pretty abusive storyline. No cheating per se (as no one was in any relationship at the time), but after the seme toyed with uke, there is scene where he’s smutting with another gal. DNF @ch7: Lost interest after.
