The Mage With Special Circumstances Wants to Live Peacefully
My rating: 7/10 It's interesting, a magical detective story with all the investigations. U slowly realise the connections, it's a good build-up. The characters are likeable too, the FL's courageous. But there's only a hint of romance and the ending's rushed. CROSSDRESSING, MAGICIAN Eco (FL) can use magic even though only men are supposed to have that ability. After her powers are exposed by accident, she's scorned. Then, her cousin suggests for her to work at the Magic Bureau in his stead. Eco decides to dress as a man and work as a mage. However she unexpectedly becomes "buddies" with another magician (ML) bc they enhance each other's magic powers
Yuutousei wa Mi no Hodo Shirazu
My rating: 7/10 It's good. They are pretty cute together, but the blackmail kinda damages that image. The uke's smart and a bit insensitive (and horny!), the seme's emotional and popular. Nothing too special but enjoyable. SCHOOL LIFE, HONOUR STUDENT A honour student who always takes first place in his class gets into anal masturbation after accidentally seeing a gay porn pic. But when he does it at school, the 2nd in class (seme) catches him. He ends up helping him in exchange for the uke helping him study. SPOILER: The seme's been in love with the uke for a long time. He wants to beat him to get his attention.
Koibito Keiyaku Chuu ni Tsuki
My rating: 7/10 It's a cute read, domestic and with two lovers who complement each other. The uke's popular and genuinely nice to everyone while the seme is more grumpy and able to turn people down. The girl who's into the uke's really creepy. But the ending's too rushed. COWORKERS, FRIENDS TO LOVERS The uke is troubled by the frequent advances made by a woman at the office and lies that he's in a relationship with his friend and colleague (seme). But in exchange for his help, the seme asks to hold him.
The Stranger in the Hoarding House
My rating: 9/10 This wholesome story is very engaging, I like that it addresses mental health issues in a more realistic way (although the healing process usually takes more time in reality). The uke's calm and the seme extroverted and kind. The art is amazing. NEIGHBOURS, HOARDER After quitting his horrible job, the uke falls deeper into his depression and locks himself in his flat full of trash. But one day, his new neighbour (seme) comes in and starts cleaning the place with him so the landlady won't throw the uke out.
bros.
My rating: 7/10 It's quite good, I really like the pacing and the mixed pov. The uke isn't just weak, he actually gets angry and defends himself. Their relationship as brothers feels natural, that makes the romance more questionable. I like how they both struggle with it. STEPBROTHERS, ROOMMATES The uke still lives together with his younger stepbrother (seme) and they get along well until they discover each other's secrets - the uke's gay and the seme bi. After that, the seme starts seeing him in a different way. But the uke has a boyfriend.
Kishukusha no Kuroneko wa Yoru wo Shiranai
My rating: 8/10 It's beautiful, I really enjoy stories with a melancholic vibe. I really like that this doesn't contain something naive like humanity accepting vampires. It's more complex bc aside from the main couple, there're other important characters, but I like that, it's more like in the books I read. I just want another volume instead of the last chapter. BOARDING SCHOOL, VAMPIRE A serious and unsociable student of an elite boarding school (uke) only keeps in contact with the head boy (seme) whom he helps with work. But one day, their classmate discovers bite marks like those of a vampire on his neck. And thus begins the student's search for the culprit.
Decision
My rating: 7/10 It's really interesting but way too short, I want more. Their dynamic is good, the seme's crazyly obsessed and the uke's cool-headed and strong. More than love their relationship resembles mutual entertainment. Messed up but engaging. The art is good too. ASSASSIN, OBSESSIVE SEME A rich man (seme) who's so tired of his dull life that he starts thinking about death meets a suspicious waiter at a club him and his friends frequent. Finally, he finds something that makes his heart race. An assassin who targets the seme's friend gets caught off guart when the seme gets more than a bit aware of him.
Mellow Boy Friend
My rating: 7/10 I don't like that he SAs her at the beginning. But after that the story actually becomes really cute. His desire to be loved, his hidden scars make this more serious and interesting until the end. The FL's kind and perceptive, I really like her. ACTOR, REUNION One day, a comic artist reunites with her friend from high school who became a heartthrob actor. They decide to go drinking, but when he takes care of her after and sees her sleeping beside him, his feelings overflow. What didn't he tell her back then?
The reincarnated villainess cannot escape from the demon king's obsession ~Part 1~
My rating: 4/10 The smut's hot, straight up hentai, but the plot is so rushed, even for a oneshot. And I don't like the FL, she's just passively accepting everything, no personality here. I wanna know the ML's backround, so far he seems like the typical obsessed villain. ISEKAI, VILLAINESS, DEMON LORD The FL possesses the body of the villainess in the story she wrote herself. After the ending, her father wants to marry her with an abusive noble, but just before she departs, a demon lord kidnaps her.
