Literally none of these are “better”. Many of these have writing that is half baked compared to the nuance, pacing, and literary merit of Sleeping Dead. Regardless, it’s subjective anyway. Just kind of weird to see somebody say this is their favorite and be like no read these instead. Like you could just say oh if you like queer horror check these out, their my favorites, in my opinion ___ is the best.
And just as a personal opinion, the only ones that are even in the same realm writing wise, objectively, are MADK, The Summer Hikaru Died, and Sanctify and 2/3 have a lot of rape fetish in them so not a super casual recommend. Neither is boys of the dead. There’s chapters where a dude is sleeping with what he thinks is a mentally challenged teen. Crazy recommend without a content warning actually. He actually may have genuinely been underage I don’t remember because I wasn’t a fan.

I was a bit disappointed. I usually don't read horror so I expected a more crazy ending like, I don't know. Infecting the world or mamiya getting killed and resurrected with his mold stuff or mamiya getting eaten by sada as final wish as he was already ill. Like using the whole build up. Instead it ended so normal, even pathetic. Well I guess that's what the author maybe wanted to achieve. Despite the whole scifi novel like things that happened, reality is just dropping dead
