Sweet Trap

Complete | Bbong | 2000 released

Ummmm...... so..... the development.. where is it?? I mean, yh it was short but... I’ve read shorter stories that have a lot more going on and still have wayyy more character development and satisfying plot. But.... this was.. well... a very “yaoi” story if ya know what I mean (no plot just sex and scenes leading up to sex). ┐(´д‘)┌ it wasn’t bad tho I guess. Wasn’t the worst I’ve read, and it had a little substance to it. The art was also beautiful (it’s what caught my eye in the first place).

This whole story was unnecessary and that stupid conflict of misunderstandings could have been solved in chapter 2. They were both fools, jumping to conclusions like that without even asking the other person wassup, and selfishly distancing themselves without considering the other person’s feelings. It’s stories like this that I don’t like. So stupid and disappointing. The only thing that this didn’t have that would’ve made it worse was rape and unconsenting sex because of selfish feelings and possessiveness.

Damn it’s been a while since I’ve read a manga that pissed me off so much. The black haired mc was so damn pathetic, being so wishy washy with the girl, and so cruel to white haired mc who clearly liked him. I don’t care if he was “shy” or whatever. I get it. Ppl are shy. I mean, even I’m shy. But that doesnt give you an excuse to hurt peoples feelings like that. There’s better ways to say things and go about things. Gosh even when the two mcs got together it only left a bad taste in my mouth. In the end, I only felt bad for the girls who got their hearts broken, especially the black haired girl.

It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t the best thing I’ve read either. When you’ve had a taste of amazing stories with exemplar plot development, character development, and satisfying endings, it’s hard to go back to manga like this and find it good.

Impressive for a smut yaoi omg. This was a good one. Unlike other “sex friends to lovers” tropes, this one had a good transition that properly portrayed the uke’s insecurities (without meaningless running away and dumb assumptions.) the uke’s feelings were understandable, seeing how it started off in a non-serious relationship, ofc he’d have his own doubts that it could turn into something real. It’s understandable that he didn’t want to get his hopes too high for fear of getting his feelings hurt. But once the seme fell for him, I’m glad he accepted his feelings, instead of running away and not believing the seme’s confession (like the stupid uke’s do in majority of this trope, denying the person’s feelings and saying it must be his imagination, then running away without even listening to reason). Anyways, I also like that seme. He tried not to give the uke false hope, and also didn’t act like an asshole The whole way through. He even accepted his own feelings for the uke without too much resistance and denial. He treats uke gently, is patient with him, understands his insecurities, and without getting irritated or walking on eggshells, reassured him that yes, he does love him, and not to worry. This is the type of seme all asshole semes should look at and follow his example. Such amazing boyfriend material. We love a seme who is sweet, caring, patient, and assures his uke. Overall, quite an amazing story, despite being filled with smut. It even got me thinking that the smut scenes were meaningful, and I don’t usually think that with smut scenes (I usually get dead fish eyes and wonder when it’s going to end. Very rarely do I like the sex scenes). Oh yeah. Also, the uke is so cute. Like the seme said in the last chapter, how could u not love such a cute guy?

What even was that? So dumb. Uke was cute, but the stalking was disgusting. Plus bro u needa know when to give up, why u still so shamelessly and one-sidedly chasing after that guy after he told u he’s not interested and not into guys? Plus that seme. I can def understand why he was annoyed with the uke. But u too man, u told him to give up on u, then when he tries to do that ur asking, “giving up already?” Like what? Does this make sense to u? Plus what right did u hv to be jealous when he’s getting g along well with a girl? Aren’t u the one who’s always pushing him away and rejecting him? Who are u even? Anyways, dumb typical yaoi smh

Ugh nooooo I’m not satisfied TvT I want mooore dammit! Agh shounen ai like this. Really cute. Really cute, yes. But dammit man I wanted to see more of their couple moments _:(´ཀ`」 ∠): anyways good read. Nice balance of cute, plot, and drama(?) even though it was short. U could even sympathize with the characters even in those few chapters. Well developed story. I just wish i could see more of their couple interactions (*´-`) I wouldn’t mind a season 2~ (Hint hint author hint hint).

Read this a few years ago. Even now, I still kind of remember the plot, which doesn’t usually happen unless the story really grabs my interest (especially with all these typical stories full of overused tropes). From what I remember, this one had a sort of melancholic feel to it. Don’t think I’d want to read it again, though.

I would’ve liked this a heck of a lot better if it was mostly, or better yet, only, about the first couple. I didn’t like the second couple. What a disappointment that they had to take up the majority of the manga (ch.3-6.5). I‘m not fond of slutty ukes (or semes, for that matter). The seme was sincere in his feelings, but went abt it the wrong way, chose the wrong words, and was too aggressive, in a negative (though afterwards he made up for it). I dunno. I wanted to see more of the cute married cpl (the first couple). Their story was cute and funny. Together for 20 years, got married, seme is head over heels, uke is a lil bully but also so obviously spoils the seme lol. They’re a bakapuru. Too cute. I wanted to see more of them. I feel like I wasted my time even skimming through that second story I didn’t like just to see if there’d be more chapters on the first couple. Sad. The only thing I liked better in the 2nd story that I didn’t appreciate in the 1st story was the rape. The seme in the 1st cpl forced himself in/raped the uke, and seme in the 2nd story held himself back and listened to the wishes of the uke. If it was only the first couple, I’d give it 5 stars, but since the 2nd cpl so disappointed me, amma give it 3. Woulda been 2 stars but I really liked that first couple so gotta give em justice.
