Your Skin Is Tinged Red as if Burning With Heat
Lie or Truth
would've been a 5 star story because it was cute aside from the casual assault scene in like the second chapter. i don't want to go into these expecting a scene like that to be brushed off but i guess i'm gonna have to with how often i see it. how hard is it to just. wait. or ask before. or stop in the middle. how is it that literally nobody has ANY self control. the most self control ive seen was in a two SEPARATE omegaverses and those are the most notorious for glorified rape!!!!!!!! sighhhhhhhhh
Childhood Friends With Benefits
i mean its just pure porn that i ended up reading out of boredom, and ig its good at what it does. except in the first chapter it literally flashes us with midori's vag as a CHILD. someone DREW THAT. not to mention several other scenes that depict rape or non-consensual shit. mostly when midori got tied up and forced her to watch them fuck her boyfriend, and then forced themselves on her, and THEN forced rei on her which he was 100% into. he literally even says to her that she's kinda getting raped already. and the fucking excuse of "i'm gonna fuck him whenever i want to and he's also gonna fuck u whenever he wants to because thats human nature and being honest with ourselves so u should just accept it." GIRL WHAT? maybe if ur a shitty human being that logic makes sense. u couldve just portrayed a harem without those problematic aspects. some dumb shit istg
Kakine to Keidai
it was a good story but... kinda fucked? i mean kakine hypnotized keidai to do stuff and then made him forget about it so he was essentially sexually exploiting him n shit and then just washing his hands of what he did. which the author shows that its clearly fuckin weird bc when he's caught his dad goes apeshit and calls him a freak (rightfully so) but ig keidai is also just weird. is the implication supposed to be that keidai was into it during the acts and went along as he wanted but kakine just made him forget still?? bc thats less bad but still bad. idk it was interesting tho and an overall good story im just a tad iffy how quickly keidai forgave him bc o em gee love!!!
No Holes Barred
poor portrayal of bdsm and is basically just a bunch of different scenarios under the guise of bdsm. terrible dom since she doesn't use safe words (its mentioned one time with hyunwoo, who doesnt use it) and constantly does things that the others dont like (mainly sunhwee who at one point begs and cries to not do something in public and is only let back into his room bc he caught hyseol off guard) and is just overall manipulative. no care in the world if the subs are uncomfortable or she obviously hurts them doing something. like she literally shoves the rest of a toy into sunhwee despite it being his FIRST TIME getting penetrated with no care in the world and is shocked that he actually gets hurt and starts crying. and then calls him a baby for crying over that?? bffr. ALSO her attitude when sunhwee was like hey i cant have sex i really fucked up my back??? who acts like that?? shes literally a child who throws a tantrum when her subs dont do EVERYTHING she says and expects them to submit in & out of a sexual setting. typically you separate those unless its agreed upon to do something in public. like people have their own lives girl you are not the center of their universe no matter how hard u try to make it. YOU made urself miserable by trying to keep all 3 under control 24/7. the latter half is better than the former because everyone starts ending the relationship and she starts (i hope) maturing. the relationship between sunhwee and hyesol when theyre older in the company seems a lot better than before. its also probably good that she isnt introducing subs because that was a dumpster fire. anyway! side characters are good even if hyunwoo is a little crazy in the coconut for hyesol but sunhwee and tae-yoon are great and im so happy she and heesun get married <333
