katlovesfries's manga / #quick read(58)

This is certainly something else. It is basically a story that showcases what Stockholm syndrome and brainwashing looks. I will say that those parts make things interesting, and while there's a little plot development, the story mainly consists of filthy, smutty scenes.

A quick story with a focus on a teacher-student affair. The plot is lacking a lot of things and it isn't really my taste, but there's an element of bdsm that makes the smut very good. The art is absolutely stunning and it is also the best part of this story.

The MC's boyfriend has a secret: he turns into a monster during Christmas. This is both wholesome and smutty as hell. The plot is not rushed, or leaves any big questions in the end, though it may surprise some people if they go in blind. This is a short story that works.

The best word to describe this story would be sad or unexpected. It is centred around amnesia, tragedies and abandonment. I was sceptical at first, but the plot is ultimately heartbreaking, especially after the truth comes out about the accident, and what the implications actually mean. There's more depth to the plot and characters than I thought. Would recommend.

This is such a cute story about getting together and overcoming fears. I didn't know what to expect, seeing as it has a focus on merpeople, but I really like the characters. The seme is so adorable and understanding, while being so respectful of the uke's boundaries. All the consent is sexy as fuck. The slight misunderstanding and conflict are handled well, and I loved that they get their happy ending.

The word 'meh' describes this story pretty well. The plot is lacking massively and while it has some elements of surprise with the crossdressing, it still irks me. The relationship between the uke and seme is established on a foundation of coercion and transaction, which makes everything really off-putting. The conflict in the story is handled poorly and the ending is abrupt. Meh.

A story about an assassin who fails to kill one of his targets, and sleeps with him instead. This is such an interesting plotline, and I desperately want more chapters. It could have been so interesting see how the assassin would get closer to his target with the intention to kill him, but then ends up falling in love instead. It has the enemy to lovers trope that I like, and the dynamic between the uke and seme is really good.

A former gang member struggling to make money, and a stranger offering him a way. This has potential, but it is so poorly written and executed that it ruined the experience for me. The art is the main thing that made me finish it.
