Guilty Affection
Urghhh so frustratingggg Both the seme and uke are driving me crazy, crazy in the bad way. They're both foolish and they both keep assuming what the other one thinks without taking their feelings into consideration. Which is why they get in trouble. Anyways, sorry. Not my type and certainly not worth my time. I'm out buhbye.
BLAZING
Too short! It was too short to fall in love with it! It had too much potential for it to end like this. Also, there were a lot of things that were left out, like the Uke's source of trauma, the Seme's background, and even the arc where the Uke started to stand up on his own in the mercenary. Seriously, it was too short and too rushed that it lost a lot of its charm. I really liked the concept too. Common and simple, yet still good. The art and character designs were flawless, especially the smex scenes. They were scrumptious . The story could've been good had it been longer and deeper. Urghhh. I'm sick of these short stories now
My Half-Baked Esper
Concept is good. Art is good, except for the Seme. His personality aside, his looks really creep me out. He looks and acts like a seme but wears and acts like an uke at the same time. It's weird because he's so tall and lanky, yet at times he looks like he's buff, like when he wore a tux. It's just so unbalanced. Dear artist, if you want a buff and tall Seme or a small and thin Uke, just pick one! Don't make a mix of both, he honestly looks like a hybrid! Also, I didn't enjoy reading it because of how unhealthy the Seme's love for the Uke is. I even skipped the smex scenes because I was so disturbed by their relationship. Granted, there's a reason why he doesn't want the Uke to go back as an active esper, but that doesn't justify him manipulating the organization to keep him in the desk, gaslight him into thinking he's worthless, and keep his body in that state for 11 years. ELEVEN YEARS! Uke had to endure the ankle pain for over a decade and adding the stress, discrimination, and insecurities, it's just not healthy. The best and normal thing he should've done is to talk to the Uke about his concerns and how afraid he was that Uke's gonna die. At least then, the Uke would still have the opportunity to make the decision himself instead of letting the Seme decide for him. Like, this is peak toxicity if I haven't seen one. It's because he kept this up for 11 years. Not a mere 1 or 5, but over a decade of lying and gaslighting. It made me sick to the stomach. That's eleven years he's never gonna get back again. The Uke is weird too because he lets this happen! It's also partly his fault that the Seme's obsessed with him. He let this happen and let himself be fooled all because he's a slave to the kid's looks. Pathetic. If I were him and I find out that he's been manipulating everything around me, I'd be so creeped and disgusted I wouldn't be able to trust him again. That's what a normal person would feel. But this one's a whole other level of an enabler. He let things slide as if 11 years of ridicule, stress, and lying is just a childish prank. I'd be so suffocated I won't be able to stay anywhere near that creep ever again. I don't know about other people, but this isn't healthy. Don't blind yourself and think that this is a sweet and romantic story just because of the art and the ending. It's not, honey. Don't be manipulated into thinking this story is normal.
