-Xie Yanhuan: Sent in place of The Ninth Princess of Xie Huan to be wed to the Emperor of Ming Guo, Yan Gui. Under a curse and following the Ninth Princesses commands under duress, Xie Yanhuan’s sole hope for success is that the Emperor live up to the rumours that he isn’t interested in women and never visits the concubines of his harem. Because if the emperor were to visit, he would discover that Xie is a man.
-Yan Gui, Emperor of Ming Guo: Known as the God of War, Yan stepped into the seat of Emperor following a thwarted attempted coup by Prince Anle. Now he wields politics in his harem and his country and deals with the machinations of those with their eyes on his throne.
The story was enjoyable with its balance of harem political shenanigans, character romance, magical curses, and the shadow of a looming war. There were some unexpected moments, but on the whole the story followed a comfortably expected trajectory. Let down a bit by a rather rushed final chapter, but overall still enjoyable.

CW: Pedophilia, rape, child abuse, murder (not done by either MC to the other)
Yuen was abandoned by his parents and taken to an orphanage. His only support was his roommate, 16yo Yan, who became like a kind and protective older brother. Yan nii-chan also cherished Yuen like his younger brother, but one night something happened that changed everything. 10 years later the Yakuza, Aoyagi turned up at the orphanage to take over handling of the remnants of the nearly derelict place known for human trafficking. There he met the last remaining teacher Yuen and his two charges. This story is their relationship and it was beautifully drawn and remarkably sweet, especially given the many dark underlying themes. Sexy, uncensored hot scenes mixed with caring and warm feelings; such a wonderful mix!

Han Junran was the popular idol known as Juno, lead singer of the group Luka before he left amidst a scandal of being gay. Now he is off to uni and about to share a dorm room with the 20yo Xian Xian who happens to be the idols Number 1 Anti-fan commentator! It’s chaos and confusion for Xiao Xiao as he adapts to the kind and charismatic Han Junran; the tidy man with the extensive skin care regime, sculpted abs, tendency to get lost, and teasing nature. It’s hard to hate someone when you start being drawn to them but Xian puts in his best effort. The story was cute and comedic. Sadly the ending was rushed though, which let things down. Even one more chapter to sort loose ends and be a couple would have been appreciated.

A sweet little moment in time between the 49yo manager and the 30yo colleague he is dating.

Top tier story for me.
-Montague Joel Letreux, Lord Judiciary Montague. Serious, hard working, advisor to the king and law maker.
-Viscount Adam Canning. Hired by the queen mother from her birth country Xehana to be a bodyguard for Lord Judiciary Montague. A beautiful, hedonistic charmer who has always been more focused on living for pleasure until he meets Joel.
This story is well written, with interesting characters and a great background of political intrigue that lets both characters shine. I loved the Georgian fashions, and the friendship between the king and Prince Luca was adorable. I could rave more, but suffice to say it’s a favourite.

An ok short story about a shapeshifter tiger who raises the children his younger brother orphaned. When the boy and girl grow up, the older brother Yul, has developed romantic feelings for Beom but has to find the courage to confess. The plot was basic, there were moments that were very predictable, but the art was nice and the smut had some feelings attached.

Translation was poor with respect to grammar but it was at least understandable.

I found this to be a rather melancholy story, not a cute one (though Iyo was cute). Things just didn’t make much sense when it came to character motivations. Most especially with Fumichi. He is waiter at a bar where he got beaten up by a customer he offended. But he keeps working there, even when the customer returns, drugs and rapes him violently. And he still returns. Sure, there is an impression that the drug makes him forget a lot, but it makes no sense especially when you find out he doesn’t even get paid at the bar? The flashes of his childhood show him as a runaway with no attachment to his caregivers. But no reasoning why. Are they abusive, was he stolen, are they even his parents? When saviour type Sazawa and his daughter, Iyo step in, Fumichi seems to fall for them both. But he resists that safety. Feelings of low self worth? I found him hard to relate to. I still enjoyed the story but overall it feels like too many missed opportunities to flesh out both of the MCs properly.
CW: Rape.

Story is finished. Femdom story. Reincarnation from past to modern world. Doesn’t seem to care about others on any deeper level, merely sexual. Not my thing, she is non exclusive and doesn’t care about romantic feelings of her partners

Cute little story of Prince Ike’s sojourn to make a name for himself and become a hero. Any good human would believe that a personal quest to take out the demon king would be a worthy quest, but Noah, Demon King of Mano is not that easy to kill. Firstly, his guards knock Ike out. Then the Demon King takes him in to care for his recovery. Even worse when Ike wakes and persists in his plan, the Demon King proves too elusive to even touch. But it’s all over for Ike when he falls for the gentle gardener king who treats him like he is precious. This was a surprisingly fluffy story about love in unexpected places and I loved how even the scariest monsters had a reasonable side.
