[BL] reviewing stuff so you don't have to

tws: dubcon
niche: guiding (bottom) - esper (top)

cons:
- the art style isn't my favorite, which is subjective
- as of right now (since it's still ongoing) these two hardly get much guiding or esper stuff done; it's not really explored

pros:
- the top is a masochist and the bottom isn't stereotypical
- their scenes together are enjoyable
- the top isn't afraid to show his enjoyment
- the bottom uses his guiding to mess with the top thru sex

tws: none
niche: alpha (top) - alpha (top)

cons:
- it ends

pros:
- probably the best the omegaverse trope has to offer, it handles a lot of internalized trauma/fear in a well written way
- the art style is gorgeous
- the relationship is nontypical, the bottom is an alpha and muscular and the top is a hopeless romantic with a softer face. it's very endearing
- adorable ending

tws: lots of trauma
niche: omega (bottom) - alpha (top) and alpha (bottom) - beta (top)

cons:
- i didn't find the initial couple very interesting at all, they've got a solid dynamic and chemistry but their situation becomes resolved almost too fast that i began to find them sort of boring

pros:
- the side couple features a very nontypical relationship and handles the fears that come with it extraordinarily well
- the alpha bottom knots the air (chef's kiss)

tws: dubcon (cause of heat)
niche: 3p, alpha (top) - alpha (top) - omega (bottom)

cons:
- it's just purely sex, there are moments where they have genuine moments together but you wouldn't read this if you were seeking out something tearjerking

pros:
- i love the artstyle (subjective)
- the sex is fairly intense and i enjoyed how both tops aren't very scared to show their enjoyment/perversions
- they handle the 3p thing surprisingly well and i like their dynamics

tws: daddy kink mentioned, dubcon, the top is the son of the woman the bottom was dating for a bit... so it's definitely a bit jarring
niche: n/a

cons:
- like mentioned, the top is the son of the woman the bottom was dating and was going to marry. its one of those things where there isn't actually anything 'wrong' but you're still like "oh...!" when you hear it


pros:
- i like the artstyle (subjective)
- im a sucker for old men bottoming

tws: dubcon (?), somno
niche: lord (bottom) x duke (top)

cons:
- i need more

pros:
- beautiful artstyle
- compelling story, the twist was quite obvious but that didn't ruin any of the suspense for me
- nontypical relationship, the top is a softer-faced almost ""maiden-like"" hopeless romantic while the bottom is reserved, muscular and calculated. it doesn't feel poorly done at all and i adore the relationship between the two of them

tws: dubcon, somno
niche: knight w/ a curse (bottom) - vampire (top)

cons:
- very short, it does a good job of feeding you backstories in the little amount of time you have with it though
- would've liked to see a bigger exploration on their relationship

pros:
- nontypical relationship, bottom is muscular and bigger than the top
- beautiful artstyle

tws: n/a
niche: guide (bottom) - esper (top)

cons:
- fairly short, the characters both have some respective backstory to them but there's no real conflict beyond a minor "separation" between the two characters. would've been nice to see some drama
- purely just sex, you wouldn't be reading this for something tearjerking

pros:
- decent exploration of the esper world
- the bottom is nontypical, being an older muscular man

tws: n/a
niche: guide (top) - esper (bottom)

cons:
- short, and the momentary conflict gets resolved extremely fast
- the sex wasn't that crazy to me, despite the beginning making me think they'd have some freaknasty chemistry, it ended up being pretty tame

pros:
- pretty artstyle
- the bottom is the blond one in the thumbnail, he's bigger than the top who is scrawny in comparison.
- their yearning thing they've got is pretty cute

tws: stalking(?)/obsessive behaviors
niche: n/a

cons:
- the artstyle's proportions can be pretty inconsistant at times which can make an appealing scene suddenly become really silly, its easy to ignore though
- pretty much mostly sex, every time they sleep together its basically the same ahegao mind-blowing intercourse which can become stale after the tenth time

pros:
- their relationship is likeable, the obsessiveness isn't a dealbreaker imo
- i really like the bottom's design
