Suezen Kurau wa Otoko no Tachi

Ongoing | Tobi washio | 2022 released

Completed at ch 5. Idk that ending was hecka rushed. Not convinced the uke was actually interested in the seme by the end despite what the story is telling me. There just isnt enough time between "yeah I thought we were sex friends" and "I want to be romantically involved with you" for me. 6/10

Ipsae's Leaf in Haneum's Breeze

Complete | Jjinbam | 2022 released

Pretty cute bratty, slutty uke x innocent seme just tryna get a good grade in class. I'm sad the seme's stern personality completely goes away in favor of a tearful puppy thing. I was really hoping the uke would work to impress the seme by like... actually participating in class and getting a job. Which he does do for a bit but that goes out the window once the seme goes sad puppy mode. Overall it was okay but once they started fucking, they stopped addressing the more interesting character flaws and the conflict just turned into Two Idiots Who Cant Make Up Their Minds About Mqybe Being Fuckbuddies Maybe Being Boyfriends. 6/10 name on MAL is Leaves Dancing on a Melody

Campus Secret Girlfriend ♡

Ongoing | 앤트스튜디오,Ant studio | 2022 released

Mm. The character development was extremely abrupt. Literally just the last chapter. And they didn't really resolve the fact that the uke is an annoying piece of shit and an impulsive liar. Idk. Would've loved to see him actually introspect and fix his mistakes Mm. 3/10 I just really didnt like the way this ended

Dropped at ch 4. God the MC is annoying... I hope charcoal guy beats his ass Update, this has been sitting in my to read pile for so long but just the thought of having to tolerate this MC any longer makes me wanna scream so let's just put this down forever I dropped this really early but all the comments suggest I would have hated it forever so 2/10 for being annoying

Go Out with Me, Too!

Ongoing | Chada | 2000 released

Completed at ch 5. Well. It was cute I guess but it didn't answer the literal only question posed by the premise. Why did the uke accept every confession and then dump people? Idk that kinda annoyed me so 4/10 name on MAL is Date Me, Too!

Enomoto-senpai wa Tenshi Nanka Janai

Ongoing | Setsukouji | 2022 released

Last read ch 5. OOOOOOHHHHH spicy~ I'm super digging this rn. College guy is being haunted by the ghost of a guy he kinda knew, and this ghost is trying to steal the soul of the ghost's own best friend to come back to life. I'm fascinated. The art is really good and the atmosphere is just a little unhinged, just the way I like it. I'm hype. Update ch 5. Okay well. I've just been disappointed twice in a row, first with the reveal that enomoto was in love with MC the whole time and 2nd that the friend is spontaneously some supernatural being. Cmon man plantings and payoffs, foreshadowing! its basic storytelling! If the author was gonna give the friend supernatural powers, they should have hinted that something like that was when possible in like the first chapter. I'm also so bummed the soul switching deal thing was fake. The story would be so much more interesting with a more complex moral conundrum. Instead it got flattened into what it is now. 5/10 for what could have been an 8 or even 9. Sadge.

The Dating Simulator Cheat Code

Ongoing | Nuban | 2022 released

Girl downloads a dating sim game and is suddenly able to see people's affection for her. She accidentally downloads a weird file that causes her crush to suddenly get horny around her. I don't love this.... it's so... dubious. She definitely took advantage of that. I wish they at least had an organic interaction afterward, but the story was too short and was mostly just for smut. Idk why this one bothered me so much when I've read much more insidious stuff -/10

Hyacinth

Complete | lin lang, Hua Xiang Gong Zuo Shi | 2000 released

Dropped at ch 23. Tbh thought this would be more angsty but it was surprisingly uneventful imo. 5/10 was a lil bored

Koibito Keiyaku Chuu ni Tsuki

Complete | MATSUDA Io | 2022 released

I wish we had seen part of the story from the seme's perspective. Honestly I wasn't feeling much chemistry from these two idk why Mm. 5/10 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
