Even Dogs Fall in Love
My rating: 8/10 This is incredibly cute. Sure, there are embarrassing moments but overall it's just heart-warming fluff. The uke uke is cute and has some dog-like behaviour. The seme's a nice guy. The smut shows that they're in love. SCHOOL LIFE, SHAPE SHIFTER The uke turns into a pomeranian when stressed and only turns back after taking his medicine or being pet.

Minority
My rating: 10/10 This is a beautiful story about growing up, bullying, abuse and neglecting parents, falling in love and learning to stand on your own. The character development is immense, Heechan's in particular. The slow burn gets u involved and it's so well-written it gets me emotional every time. There are some predictable parts but this doesn't make it any less perfect. SCHOOL LIFE, ABUSE Jin Hyuk, a model student living alone in a big apartment, one day witnesses Heechan, the leader of the bullies in his class, being beaten by his father in a shitty neighbourhood. Heechang notices him too. This marks the starting point of a long relationship.
Tasuketa Yakuza ni Nerawaretemasu
My rating: 8/10 It's an enjoyable read with a bit of drama, a bit of comedy and a cute romance (I u count that rapey stuff at the beginning out). The seme's a playboy yakuza boss and really eccentric ready to enjoy life. The uke's a normie, really cute. YAKUZA, TAXI DRIVER After saving a wounded man who entered his taxi by helping him escape, the man comes to the uke again declaring that he will repay him. He turns out to be a yakuza boss. After the uke doesn't react to the prostitutes he brought, the seme takes him upstairs and has sex with him instead. Since then, the uke has to accompany him on various (scary) occasions.
Hearty
My rating: 8/10 I really like the message: "Too many easy lies can make people lose trust in you". The seme slowly realising that and him changing bc he becomes attached is satisfying. Ut the regret is too short, it's kinda a rushed ending. POPULAR SEME, LIES An office worker (seme) goes through life lying to make things easier. One day, at a party with students from his former university, he meets a student (uke) he likes. He tries to flirt him up like usual but the boy sees through him. He agrees to go out with him for 1 month and then decide whether to stay or not.
Summer Fever
My rating: 8,5/10 This is so adorable, it had me feeling warm inside. I'm invested even though it's just a oneshot with extras bc the "youthful love" feels so natural and the feelings are well-delivered. HIGH SCHOOL, FRIENDS TO LOVERS Seungbin has a close female friend named Hajeong, it was all platonic until he gets sick in the season of summer and Hajeong visits him in the nurse's office.
Anata wo Shinjiteru
My rating: 9,5/10 It's a serious story addressing alcoholism, domestic abuse and the consequences from the child's/teenager's pov. It's scary good and had me invested. The couple bonds bc of their similar experiences. HIGH SCHOOL, DOMESTIC ABUSE A high school girl who lives with her abusive father, her neglecting mother and her little brother can't say no out of fear of being abandoned. But then the "bad boy" of her class finds out about her home life.
Wakarazuya no Renai Houteishiki
My rating: 6,5/10 It's a cute story with a bit of drama mixed in. The plot isn't that special but it's well written so I enjoyed it. The uke is antisocial and aloof, the seme's extroverted and playful, quite the opposites. I wish the author would've made more of the unrequited love, it's dropped too easily. SCHOOL LIFE, UNREQUITED LOVE A high school student (uke) who has problems dealing with human relationships is secretly in love with his only friend. But then his playful classmate (seme) notices it and offers to help him bc he likes the uke.
Usotsuki Sensei to Emonona Watashi
Cute but too short, they don't get together
Love Awakening x Syndrome
My rating: 8/10 It's the spinn-off of Katakoi × Alliance and it's super cute, I love it. The main characters are all lovable, there's not one annoying person here. It's just a wholesome read. The uke's adorable, kind and positive. The seme's more serious but actually a tease. COLLEGE, AGE GAP, FLUFF A college student (uke) asks an associate professor (seme) for love advice after hearing about him from his fellow students. They end up in an arrangement where the uke works as his part-timer and the seme supports him, but will this work like planned when the seme's actually gay?
