Sweet Lies Layered Like a Mille Feuille
this is the kinda josei stuff i like. unconventional couples, the bickering but attracted dynamic, i feel like yes this is super cliche but the characters were so cute together and the story was simple and straight forward. bonus points for fl actually setting boundaries with ml instead of being pushed around.
Bespoke Engage
cute for the most part, i feel like ml was kinda iffy at first (why do you gotta keep mentioning how shes so much younger than you? just dont date her??) and the plot was pretty hasty, but fl was really sweet and made up for a lot of the mls lacking. not as good as the author's other work ive read but cute in its own way.

didnt really understand the reason for his abstinence but as usual communication was ass and jealosy was the motivating factor for relationship development (which i usually like, but was kinda cheap here.)
Strap-on Girl and Bitch Boy
basically a pwp but the dynamics were cool, title is killing me though lmao
Yuusha Party kara SEIJO wo Sukutta no ha MAOU-sama Deshita
the rape was really unpleasant to get through but the resulting relationship between the healer and demon king was pretty cute. GORGEOUS ART FR.
Teachers’ Time
i know its just smut but something about this didnt click with me at all
Fetish
intriguing short stories that i actually enjoyed a lot if only for the visual aesthetics of the work-- disturbing surely but surprisingly fulfilling
One Night Only
might be a bit of an eclectic taste but i actually enjoyed this a lot.... i feel like though the story could have had improvements with overall narrative flow, i still found the main couple to be pretty cute! tragedy that the side stories are not their domestic life, tho.
