Traeumerei
Ch10 They copped out by giving them a tidy happily ever after. Teacher didn't seem to have matured that much after they separated while student grew so much and became so much more independent. He did not deserve to end up with an old ass weirdo who perved over a teenager. Congrats to Isami for overcoming his issues and improving his life without the help of a self-aware sociopath. It's just 2 chapters so far but I wouldn't read it like a romance. Rather it comes off as a psychological drama about two fucked up people who get romantically involved. Although, this is BL so it might end as they usually do with the author giving them undeserved happy endings without acknowledging how fucked up they are. MC is a grade A asshole. He degraded his ex for crossdressing and gaslit the ex into believing the ex was wrong for crossdressing to the point where the ex was apologizing for even entertaining the thought of crossdressing in public blarghhh. He realizes that he's very needy but keeps bemoaning how/why he ends up alone. He realizes he shouldn't be tempted by his vulnerable underaged student but can't help himself. A waste of oxygen. Now the boy, I'm a little lenient on his he's still young and there's a chance he can change for the better. He's a typical neglect kid who learned to manipulate others to get the attention and love he craves. His manipulation is different from MC as his focused on presenting a perfect little boy persona so people like him.
The Foul
Ch87 Ch 19 theory: Taeha is the "daughter" of Hawon's childhood driver. I'm connecting the dots. The driver had to neglect his family while he lived with Hawon's family. He later committed suicide. Hawon's dad was already under fire for not treating his contact workers (like the driver) well Hawon got a piece of paper from the crazy local guy who may or may not be a psychic which has a quote about waiting 10 years for revenge.
Save Me
This is a really fast but engaging read. Usually when stories are fast paced, it means that the writer is just skipping around, trying to hit plot points without fleshing out the story of characters. This story manages to be fast paced without all that mess. The story is really tight, meaning that's very little meandering or instances where the plot just stalls. So l which makes it very engaging and makes you want to keep reading (I did it in one sitting in a be few hours!). Don't read if you're sensitive about bullying or bodily injury. Hyeongoh suffers really horrible bullying until ch30. And then the revenge entails a lot of bodily injury. The flashback scenes at the end made me bawl. Only negatives are some small plot holes (obsessed stalker sociopathic serial killer(?) who only targets Hyeongoh's bullies? Namsoo being obsessed with being with Hyeongoh but connecting his crimes to police which eventually leads to their separation?) and I wish some things could have been fleshed out more (Hyeongoh's crush just disappears completely after a certain point lol). The ending isn't very realistic (but neither is the guardian angel secret twin brother avenger thing lol) but it makes me happy.
Form of Sympathy
Ch112 Seme is an asshole to uke, taking out his frustrations over his own unrequited love on the poor guy. Uke looks like he's been through some shit (spoiler alert from future me: he has *chugs soju*). He needs a therapist and a hug. Plot/Yuri's character breakthrough on ch26. FUCK THE BULLIES. FUCK THEIR PARENTS. FUCK THE HOMEROOM TEACHER WHO DIDN'T DO SHIT. FUCK THE SCHOOL THAT CAN'T KEPT UP WITH MODERN STUDENT RELATIONS & WOULD RATHER KEEP UP THEIR IMAGE THAN TAKE CARE OF STUDENTS. BURN THE WORLD IT'S A HORRIBLE PLACE. FUCK PUTIN AND RUSSIA TOO. DX It's just so fucking unfair! The people who test to do the right thing end up getting fucked over the most I hate it here! Ch110 and of good it still hurts TT__TT when do we get the happy ending???
Play After Call
Ch5.5 2 unicorns appear: - a consensual dom/sub relationship - the Dom/top gets very jealous and possessive and realizes he's being a dum dum before doing something stupid that harms the sub/bottom
An Inferior Relationship
Ch4 - dropping cuz it's the tired psycho yandere seme x poor little rabbit uke trope again zzzzzz
Written in the stars
2 stars Doormat recessive alpha with a chip on his shoulder ♡ dominant omega who uses him from time to time as a safe haven from his suckass life as his family's broodmare. While most of the bad characters in the story got punished at the end, it was all just meh. Especially compared to all the suffering that the characters had to go through. And that psycho blond ex kinda just disappeared lol. I didn't really like any of the characters. You were supposed to root for the leads because of how bad their lives were but I really didn't care. I am over the sadness porn - especially if the characters just lay down and take it lol. The only really good thing about the story was the nice art. Ch33 - ughhhh not the "get raped (gang raped in this case) then have sex with ML right afterwards instead of going to get tested for STIs and drugs at the hospital" . Plus this one was worst cuz it was gang rape with intentions to impregnate the omega. I need them to explain the logic of ML also nutting in the omega??? Luckily he didn't pregnant but what if he did? It'd be a mess when they have to do the paternity test.
Grab the Stars
It's the typical insecure, hurt by a previous love uke and almost perfect seme whose life revolves around uke. Too annoying how MC just abandoned ML for months and then when he comes to terms with his feelings, just hopes ML will show up to meet him when he can literally unblock ML and call him up to arrange a meeting uhhhhh. The art is pretty and cute, the only saving grace of this story.
Love is fantasy! ~The Queen~
