2.5/5 I like the cute and neat artstyle but this is really just PWP that doesn't make much sense.

I also get confused a lot of times on the character design for the uke and seme's friend, also the seme and uke's friend, heck even in the first chapter, I got confused with the uke and his other light-haired friend, they look too much alike, all of them.

Everything happens too fast but it lacks consistency, I couldn't root for any pairing, it was so freaking meh, the throuple attempt is also mediocre-- I have high tolerance for SAs in yaoi because there's a whole ton of it out there, I'm kinda desensitized, but this one just left a bitter taste in my mouth, probably coz everything is played out comically-- doesn't matter if you think someone is too cute, it doesn't give you permission to just assault them, oh and the poor boy never even gave any indication in the story that he's into it, not even slight curiosity, he wasn't being a tsundere, he flat out declines the notion of doing it with the same sex, and yet those 2 ganged up on him, it's not cute or funny at all.

too short, but too freaking cute. The progression was fine, but the last chapter seemed just a bit rushed; it's fine tho, coz there was not much pining. This was actually the first one I read where both leads are already into each other and was just waiting for the other to confirm what they already know, no unrequited love, just a bit of anxiety since they didn't have label yet, but even then, both are still sure that the other do have feelings for them, so they were willing to communicate.

This one's drama alright, but I don't find it angsty, or maybe coz it's blended so well? angsty stories would sometimes make me cringe coz it tries too hard to be emo, but this one is not one of those. The story went smoothly. I was prepared for them not to end up together, but since there was no tragedy tag, I figured, that's not going to be it. I like the characters so much, they feel so alive, the intricacies of long-term relationship and learning to accept the flaws that you once found endearing about someone you love was so nice too. I like how the POVs shifted between the uke and seme so we readers get to understand their sides better. This was no fairytale, not much fluff happens, there are some, but it's more subtle and mostly during the flashbacks when they were just starting to get together, I think this is also a testament to how grounded the author made this. Basically it's just about two people falling in love, getting burned out from love, and deciding to stick together to overcome every hurdles through love. Sounds cheesy, but that's my take. 5/5

bf (best friends) to bf (boyfriends). Mutual attraction on both leads, and both were trying to get into each other's pants through the power of friendship lmao. Fluffy read, satisfied with it, gave me dokidoki moments. 5/5

A lot of whiplash moments and the pacing is inconsistent- smooth and slow one moment then torrid and rushed. I like that it's a beta x omega pairing, you don't see that much, usually it's alpha x beta, or the misdiagnosed beta who turns out to be either alpha/omega in the later chapters. It's good enough, but just not something that speaks too me, quite fairytale-like, had a strong beginning though, I was certain to give it 5, then I finished and I thought 4 is more appropriate. The author did say 6 chapters is too short for them, so maybe if they got more, they would've fleshed out the story more too, and it could be better that way.

Though this was really more of a crack story filled with gags and wobbly plots, I highly enjoyed it. I don't really care much for bdsm BLs, but this one, I like. It's interesting how the author managed to blend in comedy and hardcore bdsm in this story, it's such a novelty, it's almost like reading Bara, oh and did I mention that the seme's tits are bigger than the uke? I really like this too, coz a lot of times it's the other way around and sometimes the uke's tits are so huge, they're not even pecs anymore and I can't help comparing them to beanbag chair-chested FLs in Hentais which I'm really, really not a fan of. Anyway, don't expect much from this, it's simply an enjoyable BDSM BL about a vengeful yet childish, sadist seme and a boob-seeking, straight (?) masochist uke.

3.5/5 not for me, or maybe coz I'm just tired of all those puppy semes who can't take no for an answer, I've read plenty and it's just so freaking annoying how they just wouldn't give up or worse, like in this case, become aggressively possessive even without the relationship label. Uke's a pushover too, art's really nice, plot's meh, pacing's meh as well, character dynamic too, their attraction was literally just based off sex, nothing else grounds them together, which I get that's the prompt, but even the execution of it is all meh. I think this could work better if the uke is less of a pushover and more of a sadistic, strong-headed type which is what I kinda expected judging from the cover, and also based off the early chapters, it seemed that way, but then the uke just, I dunno . . . shifted?

One of those rare finds that perfectly blends in together. It's so fluffy and cute, and sweet! which is funny coz the story is centered on desserts and features leads who are both dessert-makers themselves, guess that's just really how the author wanted the taste of this story to take from the beginning. I like everything about this, the character dynamic is superb with both complimenting each other despite having different personalities, they're both invested in their relationship but still pursues their own things. I also like the pacing, in just 4 chapters, the author was able to unfold a solid narrative that's just nice and easy to read. 5/5 will read this one again for sure.

I like the art style and the dynamic between characters. Uke appears perfect but has stalker tendencies, I don't get why he wanted to get revenge on the seme in the first place, was it because of him saying he would sleep with him if he makes him fall in love? Like that wasn't even said in a bad way, more of a banter sort, plus the seme literally attacked the uke's father in his stead for insulting his son, was that also a reason to take revenge? The seme too is kinda dumb? not really dumb, but close to it, coz even when he suspects the uke is using him, he still wouldn't budge and would opt to be blinded just because it's the uke, it might be romantic, but it's also stupid. Also for a detective story, the unfolding of secrets and revelations were also meh, there was no clicking moment nor a shock factor, it's just part of the plot so you read it.

Throughout this story, there have been questions and answers but they don't really match with each other.

Like why was the brother mad at the uke? he says it's coz uke is a disgrace due to being a bastard, so shouldn't the conflict be more on him (bro) lowkey getting jealous since the uke's illegitimate, which means he has the privilege of being a Gojou but none of the pressure? but no, the real conflict is bcoz as a child, the uke accidentally exposed him and the butler doing the deed;

Next is the butler's overprotectiveness, why was he doing it and why was he controlling the uke? the best I can come up with is coz he's protecting him from the brother so he wants him to be successful so he (the bro) has less to say about him, BUT he (the butler) knows, and the uke knows too that the brother is legit still in love with him, they even reaffirmed this at the end with that waiting dialogue, so wouldn't it be safe to say he has a strong pull towards the brother if he just talked to him about being nicer to the uke?

Another is the seme-- it's good that he's expressive unlike most semes that are just blocks of poker faces, however, I don't really feel this seme loving the uke, infatuation, perhaps, coz he finds him beautiful, but that's about it. Also the uke, basing his love for the seme just coz he called him beautiful that one time is equally stupid in my book.

I also can't fathom how he's (uke) supposed to be this high class ultra fantastic lawyer but he caves at the slightest of provocation, like if you want to make him a pitiful character make him one all the way, don't be half-assed. It would make better sense if the seme was a more capable lawyer too anyway, for instance, the uke could seek out his help on a case, and that could be their bonding moment, a way for their feelings to develop. Relatively, being a subpar lawyer could also explain why the brother keeps treating him as a disappointment, so that's 2 birds for the plot.


Anyway, I was more invested with the brother x butler subplot in this one.
