lilithespark's manga / #Switch(5)

6 Competeing to be the top was a bit eh. I like switch couples byt this again just shows how being the bottom is viewed as inferior or “womanly.” Was kinda funny. I think this a step in the right direction, though.

this is pretty interesting! i like that the dom is a sub and the sub is a top (initially). i always wondered why subs HAD to be bottoms and vice versa. it’s also my first time seeing a major character in the dom/subverse actually be a switch. plot-wise it’s pretty basic. the author making them both switches near the end is interesting to me. you often see physically switches but not so much mental switches. it does kind of feel like a cop out, though, because it kind of erases what made this story so unique in the first place, a sub wanting to top a dom. I’d like to see this idea expanded upon in a different way with better execution. this was cute, though

5.5 This isn’t bad at all! Doesn’t deserve such a low rating. The leads are just switches/vers. The plot is light, and there’s a heavier aspect on the smut I think. But still entertaining

The first four chapters were top tier… I’ll always the childhood friends to lovers trope. I thought this was really cute! It’s kinda refreshing that none of the leads see bottoming as some sort of degrading thing. Actually they both like it a lot! Which is so nice because I’m so used to seeing “tops” fight over who gets to have the “man’s role” or whatever (which is bogus). I feel like vers couples in gay romance should be way more popular. I liked that the leads are pretty honest with each other about their feelings. The angst is short lived, making this a short, light read. BUT WHAT THE HELL WAS THE LAST CHAPTER… selfcest *sobs*
