The Holy Grail of Eris

Ongoing | Kujira tokiwa,Momoyama hinase | 2019 released

Huh. I think I misinterpreted some comments, because the description pretty much sums it up. Criminal, execution... I mean, I guess we'll see what happens? I'm not really one for this kind of story, but I'll stick around and see.

Sin of Heart

Ongoing | taoci pengke shaonian | 2000 released

Ooh, this looks like something I'd really like. Which means it'll probably let me down completely. But for now! I like that they have this history between them. I hope it's a solid story and not just a bunch of pathetic misunderstandings and/or rape-forgiveness. I'm intrigued, either way.

Bena

Ongoing | Kofude | 2018 released

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.

Rumspringa no Joukei

Complete | Azuma kaya | 2000 released

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.

Madou no Keifu

Ongoing | satou sakura,inuzuka hiro | 2019 released

Ooh, I really like this so far! I hope it updates soon! I just love platonic relationships that are built on deep love and respect. (I mean, I assume, since he's a little boy.) It's so rare to not see a female love interest shoved in to stuff like this. Not everything is about romance.

The Story of The Princess and The Little Mermaid

Complete | murasakino | 2000 released

Well that was a bummer. Too short to really suck you in, but the last line was still kind of a gut punch.

Into the Rose Garden

Ongoing | MEG,Winterbaum,Gazealle | 2023 released

Wtf. XD That's some misery porn right there. I like elements of that kind of conflict, but overall it just felt like a lot of kicking people when they're down. I guess we can see how the next life works out for them. Seriously, though, jesus christ.
