Rain of Kiss in the Morning of Secrets
Engaging but not a fan of seme pushing away “for the uke’s sake”, while uke chases seme trope. Plus, didn’t like the “rape cos I know you like me and I’m trying to hurt your feelings” scene either

4 stars for first story only. First story was lovey dovey, easy and cute. Second story was hard to like because seme was so mean and unromantic till the end. Also their first time was technically employer x subordinate forced coercion. But it was mildly likeable in the end. Third story was oneshot of raping a buff guy when he’s drunk and showing him the video of it the next day which he just excepts. That’s seriously how it ended.

Loved first story but was too short. I don’t bother with the other oneshots cos they were all underdeveloped and rape oriented except the last oneshot which was about 32 yr old virgin. All the stars in this review goes to first main story and would have rated it higher if we got epilogue.

Crazy good art. Although I do admit that wading through chapters of non-con abuse was grating on me. But once respect and feelings were established, it became more enjoyable.

DNF @ch35. Not into these kind of romances. I do see the appeal, if one liked tropes of this sort, as it’s easier to digest the rape more than some others, but for me, I only endured this for this long because I was hoping to see faster grown and development from both MCs and have realised, how little progress they are making. Now I’m bowing outties.
