otakulys's manga / #attempted rape(18)

Hmm... Kind of weird and rushed, but it has potential. I'll raise the stars based on how the next parts unfold. Seems like pretty sad circumstances, but I'm a little confused as to what happened at the end of the first chapter. Maybe chapter two will help.

Wow, despite the creepy premise, this was honestly not as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I'm not satisfied at all with how they handled the fact that this was all due to his unsuccessful attempt to rape the guy's friend, but honestly, the fact that they acknowledged it as being wrong at all is a big step in yaoiland. I love that there was that friendship between the two omegas, and I wish more yaoi focused on friendship like that, especially omegaverse which seems very set on alienating the uke especially. Not a perfect story, maybe not even a good one, but I enjoyed it despite its flaws. I like how hard the alpha works to earn the omega's love, and even in the end, he doesn't insist they come together until the omega is ready, if he ever is. That's honestly pretty sweet for omegaverse.

The ending was really sad for me. I know it's supposed to be a happy ending, or a bittersweet ending, but I hate the finality of it. I can't stand that "we know we'll never see each other again" stuff. It killed me in Smells Like Green Spirit, too. Platonic love is just as important as romantic love, and it hurts so much to see it broken that way. At any rate, the main character is so freaking pretty, and I liked him a lot. The amish guy was cute. I kept feeling like there was something they could have done more, like the story didn't quite reach its full potential. But overall, I liked it.

Aw, poor baby. :( I like it as of chapter three, but I hope the next chapter comes soon. I hate misunderstandings, but this seems like it could resolve fairly easily. Fingers crossed!

Can't say I love this. It's not the best translation, but I can tell the dialogue wouldn't be amazing anyway. It's just disjointed, rushed, and full of possessive semes with an idiotically polite uke. Like, "No, no, don't rape me! ...Oh, okay, thanks for the cocoa!" Give me a break, guy. There's no chemistry between the main pair, and there's no character development, so it's just this weird, flat story with no real intrigue. Maybe something will change as it goes, but I doubt it. On top of that, the art is pretty shitty, so yeah, I'm not here for it.

Pretty cute, even though they have a strange dynamic as far as sex goes. But yeah, it's pretty lighthearted, all things considered. It could be worse! 3.75 stars, maybe?

Wtf, lmao. Enough said.

It's really a shame that this started with rape. It wasn't perfect throughout, but I would have liked the story so much more if it didn't start with violent sexual assault and another stupid uke who somehow logics his way into getting repeatedly fucked when he doesn't want to. I hate those tropes SO damn much. If this story had been about two consensual fuck buddies from the start, it would have been so satisfying. Watching the cold seme show that he's falling in other ways, that scene where he beats the crap out of those guys... It all would have meant so much more if their own beginning hadn't been super gross. Especially all of the emphasis on him being a kid. It was just weird. But somehow I didn't completely hate it. Maybe because I pretended the first chapter or so wasn't real.
