+ coworkers to lovers! age gap of 10 years! very cutesy hehe
+ MC is nearing 40 so he wanted to make a bucket list that he wishes to achieve before reaching the said age ^^ here comes ML, being the knight in shining armor by helping MC in achieving those goals!
+ love love love their relationship :(( it might've seemed like a joke to MC, but ML really stood his ground and told him that he was serious about being his lover i also like how we got to see ML's pov as it showcased how he slowly fell for MC even before seeing the list !! he just used the list as an excuse or like a catalyst to jumpstart their relationship
+ all conflicts were properly fixed! communication i love how ML adores MC :< the latter always gets shy because he thinks that ML shouldn't treat him that way since he's already an "old man," but ML would always reassure him that age doesn't matter
+ idk if there's going to be a 2nd volume, BUT I DO HOPE SO !!! i want it to be filled with more fluff and domesticity the art is also amazing, as always hehe!
(yuki + haru )
+ omega step dad x alpha step son ??? ik, it sounds bad... age gap of 17-ish years... no grooming though! however, there was noncon :/ idk what this trope is? sudden heat trope?
+ so, the alpha's (MC) family gets into an accident and he's the only one that survives. the omega (ML) is related to MC's step mom (i think? not sure) so it's also not incest !!! :>
+ uh anyway, MC gets adopted or taken care of by ML. MC falls in love with him immediately as a child (not through grooming! just by himself ig) and so, he waited until he was 18 to finally confess and make a move!
+ i would say this had a typical omegaverse heat problem trope with quite a problematic set-up (noncon, of course...) but anyway, i think the couple ended up having a good relationship at the end? they even had a daughter together :))
+ ik the age gap and the whole step dad & son thing are soooo weird and maybe even uncomfortable to read for some, however, i think it wasn't the worst. it could've been executed better though! nonetheless, i love the art! i also seemed to notice that this author loved writing older characters paired with younger ones (legal age!)
(dennis + evan )
+ enemies to fubus to lovers !! one-sided turned mutual pining idk what to call this trope...
+ the gist is that MC liked ML ever since, yet ML always changes gfs. MC always gets the attention of ML's gfs which pissed him off. but that feeling suddenly turned into a crush?
+ it was a but fast paced and just filled with smut scenes, however, i still liked it because they had a pretty healthy relationship and they ended up having a wholesome relationship ^^
+ i wish we had more side stories though !!! we were just starting to see their domestic side they also had good communication :))
+ the art is pretty too !! i like short stories like this—less conflicts, good communication, and mostly fluff!
(seonwoo + taemoon )
+ coworkers to fubus to lovers !! super silly couple istg an employee who loves to fantasize about his handsome coworker (he's a virgin LMAO) x the said coworker who's actually promiscuous and also secretly the ceo's son of a rival company
+ the funniest couple to ever exist actually ???? they never run out of goofy misunderstandings HAHAHA they're both just made for each other :))
+ you'd think this would just be lighthearted and funny all throughout the story, but as the plot progressed, you'll get a glimpse of their characters' struggles and how they've both grown into better people by being together
+ everything started with sex, but the actual romance and bond between them had a good pacing !! it was like a slow burn tbh i also feel like they also had the "he fell first (seonwoo), he fell harder (taemoon) trope it's refreshing to see how the used-to-be fuck boy is now the one asking the loyal one to go on romantic dates & what not ><
+ i love how their dynamic never changed even after being together they're still as goofy as ever! they love pissing e/o off i also love the way they simp for one another HAHA they're equally down bad for their partners and with that, i'm very much seated for the upcoming side stories !!!! i love the art as well the moscareto & okdong tandem never fails to deliver
(inwoo + hayoung )
+ (kind of a one-sided) enemies to uni schoolmates to fubus to lovers... an alpha turned omega x omega who fell in love with the former since high school
+ you'd think that ML was genuinely helping out, but the plot twist
+ blackmailing trope in a way? but it wasn't the worst
+ the worst part was probably plotting everything to ruin MC's life so that he'd crawl back to ML's arms
+ ig this was somewhat psychological. did i feel the romance? not really from MC's side because he was probably just love bombed the obsession on ML's part was pretty obvious though
+ the art was one of the only good things to come from this read HAHAHHAA !!!
(taewoo + seojun )
+ strangers to fubus to lovers (?) they're eternal partners ?? (idk if MC is immortal but he heals pretty quickly) :> human with weird healing attribute x vampire who takes advantage of that attribute
+ ML is very obsessed with MC lol... he wants MC to be his and his alone
+ there's noncon in this so beware of that. it was a pretty short story and they had a rough start so the romance wasn't for me :/
+ i feel like the plot could've been executed better since i just never understood why they, MC's mafia org, wanted to kill him so bad... i get it, he might betray or what but he found a sense of belonging to the group so why the hell would he do that
+ ig the reason why they both ended up together is because MC felt needed and he had a sense of purpose by being with ML. though, i still feel like they're a bit toxic lol art's good though !!
The reason they wanted to kill him (the father and the son) was because some of their subordinates (I suppose a pretty big group) were opposed to the hair becoming the next boss when MC was way more powerful. They had to kill him so that this group wouldn't try to do something in order to male MC an heir I suppose
(angel + josh )
+ one night stand gone wrong? strangers to coworkers to fubus to lovers germaphobe lawyer x newly hired custodian who happens to be the lawyer's ONS partner :)) almost forgot to mention, they have a 10-year age gap
+ quite a refreshing pairing ^^ i've never read a couple with this kind of dynamic before and surprisingly, they actually fit together! their personalities are a complete contrast with one another, and yet they still make sense~
+ i must admit, they had a rocky start, but they eventually communicated (that's how it ended ) i liked all the characters—except that one asshole, of course. they were all well-rounded and had their own quirks even though they were only side characters!
+ i looooove the side stories !!! i will always be obsessed of time skips i love seeing how their relationship blossomed i love how they both have a balance of softness and possessiveness toward each other ><
+ after the period of miscommunication, i really loved the sudden public confession HAHAHA they became so vulnerable with each other after that i'm just so obsessed with how their love for one another grew :(( not to mention, the art style is so gorgeous !!!! dibs on elena hihi
(kanade + mashiro )
+ classmates to friends to estranged? to friends again to FINALLY lovers! reencounter trope hihi
+ oh, how pure they are :(( this relationship >> they might not be perfect, but they completely healed each other's hearts
+ i love how they both learned how to understand love through being with each other. and they even got to fully love their true selves because of it too
+ i love the pacing! the domesticity! the supportive friends & family (well, most of them)
+ the conflicts are very realistic & easily dealt with as they have good communication with one another <3 the art style is extremely adorable too i'm very much seated for the 4th volume :)) their relationship started because of a cat, so i hope they adopt a cat soon
(kagami + kiyomitsu )
+ classmates to friends to lovers a lonely student who craves for sexual contact x a disciplinary committee student who tries to discipline MC because he's always absent
+ there's a blackmailing trope and more dubcon content so.... it was a bit of a turn off
+ the conflict with MC and his old fubu is so lame like why was the fubu suddenly so possessive when he was the one who kept on saying "no strings attached" ???
+ ig the thing i liked the most about this was how ML healed a part of MC (his loneliness) not just through physical intimacy, but also just by being a good friend
+ i think we need extras because their relationship was starting to get good !! i feel like they ended up having a healthy one the art was pretty cute too!
(kouichi + yousuke )
+ childhood friends to lovers !!! MC who starts to realize his feelings for his best friend (ML) after ML got a gf. one-sided pining :))
+ the events felt quite realistic. i like how we got to see how MC's feelings bloomed and how he only came to realize it because "something/someone" threatened their friendship (not in a bad way!)
+ i also liked how the ex gf was not villainized! she even became a vessel for ML to also realize his feelings for MC though, i would've liked it better if ML's feelings were presented slower since it all felt so abrupt. however, the ending sufficed for me since we got a time skip which showed how very much in love they are
+ the conflicts were also handled properly ^^ i think the whole vibe & scenarios were very fitting for the characters and setting the couple also had a very wholesome relationship <3
+ the art style is pretty cute! and i loved the MCs' dynamic between each other the bond of their friend group was also very heartwarming~
