Waterside Night
How the fuck is this rated so high, how the fuck can you seriously ship these two together ?? Look, for a character to have a redemption story, the actions the character committed must not go through the unforgivable, or else you make them have a "redemption" through death or by having their life ruined (exe : Dark Vador, Walter White). And even THEN that "redemption" doesn't equal "forgiveness" to the characters that were wronged
How the FUCK do you forgive a serial rapist that enslaved the MC ? HE DOESNT EVEN HAVE A WAAH WAAH BACKSTORY THIS MOFO NEEDS TO FUCKING DIE, this story isn't "cute" or "sexy" it's fucking infuriating, their relationship went past a point where it can NEVER be healthy
And don't tell me to not take this seriously, can you imagine a mainstream movie where a guy graphically rapes several times a girl is then forgiven and ends up with her ?? Fuck we already went through that non-con period in straight romances in the 80s-90s, why can't we have the same standards for gay romances ?
...You know what, actually Collen Hoover exist, i'm fucking over my own point but fuck it
Anyway, fuck this shit, this isn't romance it's torture for the mc and me
Kimi ni wa Fureru to Naru Toko ga Atte
Is there anything i need to say about this ? No I don't.
Tonari no Metaller-san
I love everything about this, but the 5yo acting like your seasoned aunt whose giving you life advices is what really got me ngl
The First Love of the Sushi Restaurant Owner is a Mermaid
This was more mermaid porn than anything else, so if you expect some plot (like me) you're going to be dissapointed, still cute though
Oredakeno Senzoku Alpha
An omegaverse manga that's cute without any toxic relationship or SA between the main couple ??? IN-FUCKING-CREDIBLE
Dekoboko Bittersweet Days
bro i want what they have
Boku no Omega yo Samenaide
Didin't like this one one bit, Seme rapes the Uke but wah wah he's actually had a bad life and wah wah the Uke actually wants to be an omega, fuck off with that. Just typical omegaverse shit with nothing behind

[Edit after the release of season 3] YOU KNOW WHAT NEVERMIND THE MC IS BASED AF LEEEETSGO MA BOI IM ADDING A STAR JUST FOR THAT
Very frustating story, everyone in this are absolutely infuriating, although i'd give a pass to the uke because i can completely understand being so desperate that you'd be willing to listen to horrible people. Basically what happens in real life lmao
But otherwise the end of this second season is rushed af, the family are all creepy ass motherfuckers and they get no punishment in the story, which could be done on purpose for the theme of the story but i have big doubts about it.
The ML is annoyingly stubborn and refuses to listen to the mc multiple times, he doesn't even believes the mc's situation until he sees it for himself. Until the end their relationship was very toxic and the fact that the ml had little time to self reflect and was forgiven on the spot for his behaviour is frustrating, i sure hope he'll be at the mc's feets in the third season.
The whole plot of the "what are you doing step-bro ?" Is genuinely disgusting. Was it really necessary to put rape here ? Really ? And to show it so blatantly ? Idc about the norms of Yaoi story, i'm getting tired of the constant "falling in love with my rape victim" storyline, of the sexual assaults and the dubcon. Also, The brother of the MC is especially a fucking idiot, who would have thought that throwing a duckling in the wild without support would kill it ? What he did directly put the MC in a more vulnerable position and i completely blame him (in part) for the MC accepting his step siblings help.
Story had potential but ended up just being frustrating.
