BL 7 trauma/angst/drama

9,5/10
- monster feeds on unhappiness
- gentle seme
- kind uke
- angst, fear of losing someone

This is such a beautiful story, totally worth rereading. The seme is a monster who survives by eating other's negative emotions and the uke is his host. This set-up along makes this so sad and angsty. Their emotions are beautifully described, the uke's love harming the seme, their despair ... What captures me is how the seme starts as an empty bystander and becomes more and more human.

9,7/10
- supernatural, monsters, action
- suicidal uke
- traumatised uke
- possessive seme

The uke had to endure so much ... losing his parents, his friends being torn apart in front of him ... He even turned them into zombies with his restoration powers and now has to live with their corpses. His trauma is well-written: blaming himself, his emotions resurfacing ... and how he slowly discovers life again. The finale is truly dramatic, the seme's fear of losing him cuts deep.

9,1/10
- traumatised uke
- rape, bullying (not by seme)
- caring, cheerful seme
- high school
- angst

This is mostly from the seme's pov who slowly discovers how much the seemingly cold honour student actually suffers inside. The poor uke doesn't have anyone to lean on and has to deal with his horrifying memories alone. I like how this shows what rape really is: a crime. This focuses more on learning how to cope with it and live again. The mixture of fragile and strong feelings gets me

10/10
- toxic seme
- gentle uke
- uke has debt, seme "helps"
- showbiz
- dub con/sexual assault

This is a beautiful melodrama with good art and an interesting couple. The seme starts off as a cold jerk who treats the uke fine but then makes him feel like trash. He uses him for his revenge and doesn't reveal his plans. I especially like the angst, how the seme becomes increasingly possessive, realises his feelings too late and the chasing arc. Their facial expressions show so much emotion

5/10
- traumatised uke
- past gang rape, shitty ex
- gentle seme
- smell phobia

The uke got betrayed by his ex and gang raped in the past. Since then he's been getting sick from men's scents and always wears a mask. The story focuses on him learning to cope with it and finding new love. It's beautiful and the characters are likable until the author tries to justify the gang rape! What the hell, why isn't his bastard ex in jail?!

9,5/10
- apocalypse (meteor)
- regret, reuinion
- cheater seme, serious uke
- suicide (extra), suicidal (protagonists)
- bad parents

The way the author portrays the word on the brink of destruction, the emotional turmoil and the regret the characters experience and how this makes them find together captures me. This shows what's left before death, what people think of when they know that the end is near, what extreme decisions they make. The romance is well-written, this gem made me tear up.
