Tai's Manga

this cover rly doesnt convey how sweet and wholesome this story is tbh. its def more sugar than spice. i love a crossdressing pretty boy top (or in general be it in het romances or gay ones) and thats what we get here and for that alone i say Hurrah! its nothing mind blowing but it is super syrupy sweet and also pretty sexy too. perfect for to read before bedtime~

i really dont have much to say about this one unfortunately. i like it better than the story its a spinoff from ill say that. i do like that the couple is reversible and the fantasy elements are fun enough. but overall i left feeling underwhelming and the story doesnt rly go all the way wihth the premise as it could. overall tho its sweet and spicy enough to hit the spot when u just want smth quick and light to read around bedtime. i didnt feel strongly enough about it to give it more than 2 stars tbh (also the ending felt a tad bit abrupt tbh) but its rly not bad tbh

light. silly. forgettable. as in i already forgot what happens for most of the story. i should prob fix that at some point.....anyway its fine! (as always the central premise is so patently silly yet not funny enough to justify its use so that alrdy kinda KOs most of my emotional connection to it but the real question is, is it smutty and fun? yes, yes it was....i think)

if u can ignore the whole incest part this is a generally sweet story overall. with some decent angst and sex scenes. but that is a BIG if lol. im firmly in the camp of "anything goes in fiction" so i had no problem with it, whole also wishing that it wasnt incest based so more people overall could read and enjoy it. but oh well~

sexy sex (but lots of dubcon), gorgeous art, gorgeous men, and some not totally half assed world building. its ultimately more erotic romance than historical fantasy but its def trying to be a bit of both. and i appreciate its effort even if that part of the plot isnt as engaging to me as the more sexy romance side but thats just cuz im a pervert haha. anyway def one of the better BLs out there. if u like dubcon this is extra hot, and if u dont that might be a turn off but they do eventually fall in love and i did feel convinced enough by it. feel free to skip the 2 or so chpt short story BL in Space that comes after it. its just very....meh. (gorgeous tan boy made me give it 3 stars right away haha)

short, sweet, sexy hetero love story with very erotic love scene. its just a one shot but it made it an impression all the same. im always here for fluffy smut with consensual sex (even tho i dont hate dubcon, it has its place, but so much TL is full of dubcon with passive FLs and it gets tiring rly quick ngl)

controversial and understandably so but i give it props for trying something a little different in a very oversaturated drama taht does alot of the same things. i continue to be baffled by the take that manga and korean webtoons seem to take with Alphas not simply having biological differences in terms of size, build and ahem penal knot but in fact being somehow born with elevated intelligence or apitutde by virtue of their alpha biology which...is very Eugenics-y and not actually based on how any living species works in real life but ahem. this is like mostly porn lbr so. that in mind i found it to be hot porn. and a nice twist on the usual alphaxomega dynamics. and as someone who eye rolls over Fated Partners ish i did like that them striking out against Fate was a thing. and also that it was a somewhat bittersweet ending instead of happily ever after. however the dub and even noncon is not easily swept under the rug here, and tbh that can def be a turn off for alot of people. for me i enjoy some toxic angsty couples and super fantastical settings like omegaverse are the best place for it imo. but yeah it does bear mention. the secondary couple is arguably more wholesome but imo far more typical omegaverse and thus not super interesting overall tho i think if it had more time to rly dig into the central conflict of that couple it might have worked for me more. tbh the best part of this series may be the spicy af sex scenes haha. but i enjoy the intensity of emotion displayed throughout the work be it desire, hatred, love, jealousy or despair. (it is very flawed as a story cuz alot does happen very quickly and so in the end i couldnt quite give 4 stars even tho i did like it more than not). also...equally baffled by the "alphas when reacting to omega's heat turn into rabid beasts" take on biology as well. again...no species could sustain itself in terms of creating offspring if thats how anyone responded to being horny. using that horniness as justification and excuse for assault is one thing but it literally turning a normally non rapist decent righ tthinking person into a monster is like......pregnancy that comes from that kind of encounter is not viable or healthy. like...ahem but that isnt unique to this story unfortuantely so i couldnt fully critize it for that (but i rly do not care for that, it just feels like a lazy shortcut that doesnt NEED to exist in omegaverse to still be omegaverse imo. like...if BOTH parties became ravenously horny then maybe i would be more ok with it...)

this would've been alot better without the sudden shift into fantasy elements and this poor kid's enitre mistfortune being because of his childohod buddy who has a crush on him and instead of oh idk telling him deciding to use BLACK MAGIC to make his life hell, constantly endanger his safety and isolate everyone from him (also risking those random people's lives and safety as well) and the consequences for this are? main dude wont be his friend anymore i giss? yo...what the fuck. anyway the ACTUAL romance here is so sweet and pure and it almost single handedly makes me want to forgive everything else wrong with the story. and there is SO much wrong with let me tell u. ahem anyway 3 stars for adorable love story and minus 2 stars for NONSENSE. i love fantasy and but hoo boy was this poorly integrated into the plot in an organic way and also feels like kind of a cop out tbh.

had so much potential to be fun but takes a bit of a weird turn at the end to drum up extra drama and have the soft boi top save the "bitchy" bottom and then ultimately ends on a very vanilla and straight gaze-y note. which woulda made me take off a star alrdy but then the weird shit where for some bizarre reason the bad guy wants sado-queen to fuck his own younger brother....huh??? (the real huh is they almost do it! they are like "oh dear...well i guess we have no choice~~" like...wtf? im not even that opposed to incest in fictional stories but for it to occur in a story where one of his main motivating factors is to hide his kinky lurid lifestyle from his innocent baby bro and protect him and provide for him...ugh whatever. that was another star. im mad cause the setup was so up my alley. coulda had it all~ (it def conflates having a job doing sex work and being kinky with somehow being "broken" inside or troubled and ughhhhh just BYE)

the sex is hot but like super rape-y and the story itself is bizare and ofc no one is acting like any actual teen student would but this feels very Anime in that regard. everything just heightened up to 11. i do like the pretty top with masculine bottom trope tho ngl. (and the icy distant bottom with the fluffy devoted dog like top trope) and this story has BOTH so. for that alone. 2 stars! i dont recommend it unless u have those fetishes or just want a quick smutty read before bed. u can def do worse than this.
