Tono is a regular office worker and a bit of a pushover whose boss, Yukisada, takes her home one night to find not only is he her new landlord, but there was a fire in the complex, so he invites her to stay at his place while she looks for someplace new. Turns out Yukisada has been paying close attention to Tono for a long time, and now that they're living together, she can't help but start to notice him, too. It was fine but I lost interest around chapter 30. Trigger warnings: lying/manipulation, power imbalance, abusive/manipulative parent.

Himari is a beta who can't help but be a little jealous of omegas since all her relationships end since she doesn't enjoy sex. Kou is a doctor Himari hates for trying to buy the land out from under her parents' restaurant. At Himari's next phyiscal though, Kou triggers Himari's heat, and the two find out they are alpha and omega andthey somehow got bonded without either of them ever realizing it. A lot of forced and unbelievable things just to make the plot go forward. ️Trigger warning: dubcon(heat)

Tama is an unlucky girl who can see yokai. After getting fired from her most recent job, she runs into the job broker Ginichi and begs him to find her a new job. He primarily works with yokai, but he offers a her a job at his office, saying her presence will bring them in. Trigger warnings: wrongful accusation, stalker, kidnapping, attempted murder.

While working as the maid to the spoiled princess, Feli ends up falling for her scheme and getting stuck in a room with Ramel, the prime minister's son, while they are both under the effects of a love potion. When they're discovered, they're immediately pushed to get married, despite Ramel having a fiance already, and Feli feels terrible and decides it's best to divorce Ramel as quickly as possible. What she doesn't know is that Ramel fell for her at first sight and he's just terrible at expressing it. Nothing about this one stuck out to me story-wise, but the smut scenes are decent. Trigger warnings: drug(aphrodisiac), bullying.

Wakaba works for a company that develops camping gear, so she gets ordered to go camping with their top designer, Yaotome, who seems utterly uninterested in anything but work...until things start to get steamy with Wakaba. But then he's right back to work? The more this goes on, the more mixed singals Wakaba is getting, until she has no idea what to make of him. No trigger warnings.

Kanade is an overworked office worker who slips and falls on her way home, only to wake up to her high school ex, Tatsumi, looking over her at the hospital. If that wasn't weird enough, she gets home to find her mother has given him a key and he'll be staying at her place while she recovers. He starts to get touchy feely, and Kanade thinks maybe it wouldn't be so bad to lose her virginity in a no strings attached night with her ex. Except, he deosn't seem to think he's her ex at all? Tatsumi seems pretty scummy, but he is very pretty. Stopped on ch.5. Trigger warnings: noncon (somnophilia), dubcon.

Yoona is an ordinary job seeker who was summoned by the king of hell to be his new secretary. Although he chose her based mostly on her looks, she's perfect meticulous and demanding and ends up being perfect at the job. The only hiccup is that on her first night there, the demon hot springs essentially made her drunk and horny, and now she and her boss have a situationship going on. Trigger warning: drunk sex

Maika is from an onmyoji family, and on her 18th birthday, she summons the shikigami Homura to protect her, only to learn that she's supposed to sleep with him to provide her energy. Maika doesn't want to do that without love, leading to some conflict between the two. But when she finally does realize she loves him, things get even more complicated as it turns out she already has a fiance she didn't know about AND love between a human and a shikigami is taboo. Not sure exactly when this came out, but it feels very early 2000s, and the whole story moves very quickly. Trigger warning: manipulation.

After getting kicked out by her abusive husband and mother-in-law for being unable to bear children, Ume returns to her home village to learn her parents have died, and it's time for the yearly ritual to send a sacrifice to the mountain god. With nothing going for her, she offers to go in place of the girl they were going to send and meets Shoma, a wolf god with a muzzle who doesn't speak but writes things for her. He tells her that they'll have a trial marriage, and if they go one month without lying to each other, they will be wed. I like the FL, and the story is fine with decent smut, though I'm not really sure what the main conflict is yet. Trigger warnings: abuse, attempted murder.
