In the Cage
Things resolved a little too easily for my tastes, but at least no one raped him into submission. I feel like this was on several lists or something that made me eager to read it, but I'm not sure now what it was that had me intrigued. It was decent enough, but nothing groundbreaking. At any rate, it was an enjoyable enough read, albeit flawed in its own ways. The art was usually pretty, though there was one shot where the alpha's neck is SO long like he turned into some sort of snake monster, and for the life of me, I do not see how anyone okayed that. It was scary.
Lies like Lies
Ooh, this looks promising! I'm eager to see how it unfolds. Also a little nervous that I'll end up disappointed, but hey. Only zero and first chapter up right now, so it's hard to tell how it'll turn out. Fingers crossed. EDIT: As of chapter three, I'm really intrigued, and I hope it updates quickly. However, it's difficult to understand what's going on, partly because of the translation, but also because of the sparse background, layout, and similar-looking characters. I'm hoping it becomes clearer as it unfolds.
Kamiato Kara, Hatsukoi
Hmm. Honestly it isn't nearly as bad as I expected given the description. It's sort of similar to my favorite omegaverse story, regarding fate and past mistakes, etc. though this one doesn't handle it anywhere near as well. Still, I'm used to much worse with this stuff. At least the rape isn't brushed off, or worse, played for laughs.
Tsugai ni Narenai!
Skimmed it mostly, partly because I wanted to see if it would just be endless misunderstandings, which I hate. Seems to be the case, but after they clear things up, I might go back and read it again, knowing how it ends. All he freaking wants in life is to be bound to his best friend, but he thought they never could. Now he has the chance, and he's like, I only wanted it when you were a beta! For some reason. People, drama doesn't have to just come from characters being incredibly inconsistent and evasive!
Ganjigarame
I'm not a fan of incest, and this was pretty generic, so it didn't do much for me, but I like the platonic side of their relationship. I wish there were more yaoi stories with brothers that didn't involve incest of any form. Lol at the guy saying it's wrong to have feelings for his brother, in the midst of fucking his brother. I mean, I get it. You have to draw the line somewhere. XD
Sugar My Baby
Aw, that was cute and simple. I don't get why so many people were hating on the first couple, though. I thought it was typical BL fluff. Sweet, nothing groundbreaking, but certainly not crap. At any rate, everything was rushed, and the weird mind games and miscommunication annoyed me, but the boys are beautiful, and I wish I could see more of their lives now that they're being honest with each other. And the older brother, what's that guy's deal? At least he's a decent wingman, I guess?
DOGMA(Akabeko)
Holy fuck, that's messed up and really, really sad. I still feel bad for the main character. It's the father's fault he's nuts. So weird, though. I love this mangaka, so I read whatever she writes, but this was... a new experience.
Yubisaki wa Koi no Aji
What the fuck... The first little oneshot was gross, though the mini-story with the one guy as a little bat pet thing was cute. The main story is okay, I guess. Nothing special. At least they were respectful of one another. The other couple, though, ugh. As far as rape to love goes, the most disgusting thing for me is when the victim starts apologizing to the rapist for hurting the rapist's feelings or some shit. I always wish the uke would die after that to really destroy the seme, since the seme is always doing it out of some sort of intense jealousy or love. You don't deserve a happy ending, you piece of crap.
Yonin no Nibiiro
Uggggghhhhh, I'm already in love! She has the ability to immediately get me invested. I'm so glad she's producing more and more work. I hope it never ends.
