➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ okay i was so shocked at how promiscuous herve (alvie) was lol he was so strict, gentle, and stern in the main story that this was like a gap moe i'm not complaining though i mean ig there was a teaser of it towards the end of the first book's extra~ i rated this five (5) stars bc i enjoyed the read, it was pretty fun and ig the ending was cute too <3 but i have a lot of questions tarjel ??? like is he just gone ??? also if tarjel didnt mention anything abt yuri (uriel), herve would've agreed to doing it with him ???? i mean ig herve and vadis weren't official yet but still that made me kind if :0 but i'm glad they officially got together ^^ i love how ald calls herve "father-in-law" pls they're so adorable ㅠㅠ i absolutely adore yuri pls my ball of sunshine, hes so precious back to the main couple, if we think abt it the pace of their relationship was so slow since they've already been together (not official) for three (3) years :O thats so long lol and they only progressed bc of this incident jshdhhd the plot for this spin-off was quite simple and short than the main story, but i still liked it !! there were vague and unanswered parts but it was still enjoyable :D i wish we could've seen more of them after officially being together bc everything happened so fast and it just ended abruptly without an extra but i was still quite satisfied with it ^^ the author's art style got better as well, i feel like the characters' features got more defined they're all so pretty pls, i cant help but appreciate even tarjel's visuals also i wanted to see more of prince mandeek, i was expecting him to have an appearance and also have some progress with sheena (the teacher on the first book) but ig bc the plot focused more on the conflict and it was also quite short that the author didnt have the time to include them :< but overall i still had fun reading this ^^ this was a good read !!
Fuck Buddy
➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★★ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i didnt expect to like this !! tbh i've actually put this off for a long time now bc threesomes arent my cup of tea and i also thought that it might've been toxic since the cover radiated those vibes to be the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" is indeed true lol bc their relationship ended up being so wholesome and adorable wtf (╥﹏╥) the only thing that bothered me was the scene where ryo paid other people to do him, i understand why he did that but like that wasnt necessary :< but i mean before being involved with each other they were already insatiable people so ig it wasnt much of a bother :D while reading this, i was hoping that it will be the ML who falls in love first or the one who catches feelings first, but since we only saw ryo's pov in the first chapters i thought that "oh it's another MC falls in love with ML first" but then towards the end when akanishi was testing ryo, he was actually the one who fell for him first he even did everything just to be able to live with ryo pls ㅠㅠ the dedication go off king though if he just told him the truth it wouldn't have caused any of the misunderstanding~ but thats conflict for you this is one of the stories wherein i was left satisfied with the ending, like we really got to see them confirming their feelings for each other, we also got to see them being lovey-dovey and domestic ❣️ they also professed their love for each other hehe the extras were so freaking cute and wholesome i want to cry akanishi's clingy-ness and ryo's cold personality is just adorable to see >< even though ryo's cold, he still softens up to akanishi pls i love them this type of plot is a first for me since as i said in the beginning, threesome tropes aren't my thing :> so i'm surprised that i actually enjoyed this !! the plot was light but it also had some depth since we got to see the couple's past how they both had their own pain and anxieties/reasons why they turned to sex for comfort :< i saw some comments abt them being so misogynistic, but tbh i feel like that was bc of their past ?? i think ryo's thing of hating women or calling them noisy bc they want to wear condoms is the pain he got from his mom, its bc of the scene where his mom reminded him to never forget condoms if he doesn't want to end up like his mom which pertains that he shouldn't have been born right ?? so yea i think ryo saying those things are bc of his past :> but of course thats not an excuse to say those things, though ig thats the context as to why the author made him say those things :) overall i really liked this, the couple's relationship wasn't toxic at all ♡ i felt their connection and i love their dynamic as well <33 ryo's is the only person who can tolerate akanishi's clingy personality hehe ^^ the extras were the absolute cutest which is why i'll probably read this again the art style is so pretty too !! they both look so hot and i love their sharp features this was a very interesting and cute read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ i have mixed opinions abt this one~ i did rate this 5 stars bc i enjoyed it, there wasnt any unnecessary or annoying conflicts and the couple was so wholesome <33 though i did find the pacing quite fast and their feelings for each other felt kind of forced in a way ?? like idk how to explain it but i felt like they just instantly fell in love with each other esp on yuno's side :O but i still liked it !! also i love the fact that yuno didnt pursue him while itsuki was still a minor :> thats cool of him to wait for itsuki and to let him grow on his own~ i was having thoughts, what if they didnt get to meet each other after 2 years, will they get together or not ?? both of them haven't moved on, so ig they'll probably find a way to find a way back to each other somehow~ takumi is the bestest boy !! hes such a supportive friend, he really cares for itsuki <3 i love him >< i hope he also gets to find his own love~ sano is such a supportive friend and boss towards yuno too :> i love how the characters didnt have any prejudice in here everyone was so nice and accepting of them and also the other couple listener <33 the plot was quite simple but i haven't encountered a dj-listener pair-up before so that was refreshing ^^ their dynamic was cute too and even though it was quite fast paced i still felt their connection so i enjoyed it i wish we got to see more of them after being an established couple, but the extras were so adorable and hot at the same time so i'm satisfied ^^ the art style got better as the chapters progressed though it was already pretty since the first chapter i've also read some of this author's works and i must say i've taken a liking to them ❣️ this was a cute read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★★ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★★★ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★★ ※ this was such a good slow burn !! it felt so realistic <3 it had a bittersweet taste but i'm glad they got together in the end (╥﹏╥) this is one of the stories wherein i really felt the development of both characters' feelings for each other ♡ the author first showed how kazu's feelings came to be and after that they showed how moto was also starting to grow some feelings up until he finally confessed to kazu~ every single scene just felt realistic to me, the plot was simple yet sophisticated i thought it would be your typical light and adorable childhood friends trope but nope~ it had deeper scenarios and they didnt get together asap like most childhood friend tropes :D someone also pointed this out but i really liked how moto didnt break up with his gf when kazu confessed to him bc most authors would immediately make them break up and suddenly the MC also have feelings for the other person but here, moto really took his time in thinking abt kazu's feelings, he continued to be with his gf since there wasn't any problem until the gf was the one who cut ties between them since she felt like moto was acting more of a friend to her~ after the break up part, moto didnt immediately have feelings for kazu too ^^ it was subtle but little by little his feelings for kazu grew up until he also realized and thought abt :> this is the reason why i thought that this was a pretty realistic plot ^^ the author really took the time to show us the couple's feelings and connection which made me get more attached to them ❣️ the only thing i would've liked is to see more of them after being officially together ㅠㅠ ik we got some short scenes with them being domestic, but still i wanted to see more of them being sweet with each other hehe <33 but other than that this was such a cute and sweet read ^^ the art style is pretty too this was good read !!

➷ plot: ★★★★☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★★☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ i really wanted to rate this 5 stars but why did it end so abruptly it just suddenly ended idk that just kind of bothered me ig bc we never got to see their backstory (´～｀;) for the plot, it was simple though i've never encountered this type of pair-up yet (prof x resto/cafe worker) their situation was also quite unique in a way so it was interesting for me ^^ i also like their dynamic asahi is the caring and sweet ML while yuzuru's quite serious/cold yet shy and soft at the same time >< i just wish we got to see more of them their interactions after being together would've been so cute to see D': i'm also glad that yori wasn't an annoying character, he only went back to have some closure and i'm glad they both got to move on <33 i like how supportive asahi's mom and friend is ^^ i just love supportive family/friends its wholesome ❣️ overall i liked this one ^^ it just felt quite rushed towards the end but i still feel like the story felt complete :)) i also just wanted to add that i'm glad tomoe wasn't also an annoying character lol it was a bit weird with how she had feelings for yuzuru esp when shes his cousin and also a minor but yea other than that everything was good :D i actually didn't expect to enjoy the read since it was rated so low and the comments weren't appealing as well (´ω` ;) but yea i'm glad the story surpassed my expectations ^^ the art style is also my type <33 very pretty this was a good read !!

➷ plot: ★★★☆☆ ➷ characters: ★★★★☆ ➷ chemistry: ★★★☆☆ ➷ pacing/development: ★★★☆☆ ➷ art style: ★★★★★ ➷ overall: ★★★★☆ ※ this was pretty good though it wasn't really my cup of tea ( ´~｀;) i'm not into this type of trope but i still enjoyed it ^^ the plot wasn't heavy but it wasn't light as well, just the right amount of drama and sweetness~ i also just wanted to add that i liked how this wasn't your typical pair-up ^^ a small, puppy, younger ML and buff, tall, older MC <33 they looked so good together despite the size difference ♡ i'm actually very picky when it comes to that pairing but this one was just right up my alley~ my understanding was the tooru never had any romantic feelings for munakata when they first started being sex partners right ?? he only admired him bc he saved him back then (?) anyway that part just kind of confuses me lol but ig we got to see the development of their feelings too :> but most of it was just them doing it lol we didn't really see any fluffy interactions or dates like that but i did feel some connection so it was okay :D i saw some ppl getting mad at munakata for not shooting tatsumi, but tbh it was understandable first of all you can't and shouldn't really shoot someone esp when you're in a public space such as that highway :> also he also had a connection with tatsumi before so of course it would be much harder for him to shoot him :] anyway yea i'm glad he didn't kill tatsumi and properly arrested him since suffering in jail is much better than instant death you know overall it was pretty good ^^ even if it wasn't my type i still enjoyed reading it :> the plot wasn't all complicated and it had the right amount of drama and conflict :D though i wish we got to see more of tooru and munakata's relationship~ esp some wholesome and fluffy scenes >< but other than that it was good <3 esp this author's art style, i've read most of their works and i'm totally obsessed with how detailed and elegant their art style is !! this was a good read !!
