Love Gym
6.25.24:
I love this! Especially how the top transformed from a cute chubby kid to a fit and belt dude. I’ve always wanted a fit looking guy and a chubby guy pairing, but we never really get that so this is the closest we’ve seen so far.
Basically the bottom has had a one-sided crush on his hyung coach at the gym for more than five years. He works as a trainer and one day he meets those chubby kid on the streets while he’s passing out flyers. I think the kid falls in love at first sight with the bottom and decides to register for this gem. They make a deal that once the top slims down to his ideal weight then they will go on a date. And one year later, that’s what the top exactly did. He becomes the super hot, rich, educated, acoach at the gym for more than five years. He works as a trainer and one day he meets those chubby kid on the streets while he’s passing out flyers. I think the kid falls in love at first sight with the bottom and decides to register for this gem. They make a deal that once the top slims down to his ideal weight then they will go on a date. And one year later, that’s what the top exactly did. He becomes the super hot, rich, educated, and just as perfect being now that he’s slim… Geez.
They basically go out and after getting close to each other they also have hot socks, but the bottom never commits to a relationship with the top because he feels that first loves never end well. The bottom feels insecure that he basically has nothing and the top is willing to give him everything so easily, so the relationship wouldn’t go well. At the end of season one the hyung also gets married so the bottom is very sad and the tops first love comes back from overseas and wants to meet him now, so with these two challenges, how old the relationship go between our main couple in season two?
The Moon-Painting Alchemist
6.7.24:
This is so fucking good!! it kind of reminds me of turning but a little bit more spicy. We don’t see them doing it yet in chapter 33, but we definitely see a couple nudity scenes here and there and the tension is real.
It kind of follows one of those “I am the secret hidden greatest sorcerer of the world” plots. The main character is a commoner, but is an alchemist genius. At a young age of 19, he managed The main character is a commoner, but is an alchemist genius. At the young age of 19, he managed to get into the Royal Academy of all chemistry and graduated very quickly. During his time there he even crafted very powerful, and very useful potions. However, because of his common or background, he was heavily discriminated by everyone else, and he wasn’t able to gain any Wells from his inventions. Because he is also so attractive and has such main character energy, a powerful noble that has relationships the the royal family took a liking to him. Because gay relationships were frowned upon, the noble didn’t know how to express his feelings other than bully him. So, like a teenager, boy, the bully, noble, isolated him, physically, abused him, I think, also sexually demanded favors from him, and even after graduation the normal managed to hush any information about him, and also made it so that he didn’t get any jobs after graduation. The noble basically exiled him from society, and hid his talents. The MC had no choice but to live in a very rural home and build his own lab there.
One day he was walking to town and meet a bunch of slave traders on the road. The carriage broke, and the slave, traders or asking for help. However, once the MC noticed that something was wrong, the slave traders tried to attack him, but of course, are genius. Alchemist has a lot of powerful spells and put them all to sleep. He saves a little boy from the carriage, and this is where our main couple minutes.
The king of this kingdom was caught in a dark magic spell. All the members of the royalty have dragon blood, so they are naturally more powerful than typical humans, physically, and magically. One day he was placed in a curse that turned him into a young boy. After many years and working with different magicians, he managed to twist the spell so that every month he turns into a boy instead.
When the ML meets RMC, he is wary of him and thinks the MC is a honey trap placed by his enemies. For his entire life, he has also been alone, because both of his parents died, and there has been countless attempts to assassinate him because of his important and powerful position.
Eventually, they learn more about each other, and the ML grows very fond of the MC. He is exactly his type. The ML learns about all the injustice that the MC has experienced just because of his commoner background. He is also shocked by how talented he is. He begins to work with the MC to try to get rid of the curse. He also helps the MC get out of the traps that the Noble bully has placed upon our MC – it seems like the noble is still in love with the MC and is using all sorts of underhanded ways to get him into trouble. I think this way he wants to make the MCU weak so that he hast to obey what the bully noble says.
Add chapter 33, they experience, heavy rain, and the carriage actually falls into the river. They get washed into a cave, and there they made a water dragon. At this point the ML knows that he’s going to turn into a child so he had planned to leave on a journey while the MC continues on his trip. But because of this accident, the Emma protects the MC in the disaster and gets hurt. As he is hurt, he transforms into a child which could be devastating for his body. And that’s where we left off. What a cliffhanger.
The Tyrant's Reign
6.5.24:
It talks about a story of a golden haired man, with humble origins, being fancied by the emperor. The golden hair man is the MC. The MC was originally a very ambitious and selfish man who got close to the emperor with the goal of leaving with a noble and rich life. He was going to support the rebellion of the rain and the death of his lover. However, he got betrayed first, and got poison to death. The emperor had true feelings for him and sink into despair. He was so angry that he slaughtered everyone in his empire and their family lineage. There was a lot of bloodshed. The God of hell condemned the emperor to suffer in hell, but the MC bagged the God to give him some of his punishment. Because he knew that the emperor did that mostly because of his death.
The MC was reincarnated, and in this life, he chooses to help the tyrant of an emperor become a sage emperor. That is the only way to atone for his sins.
He eventually finds out that there are a few people in his past life that also kept their memories of their past life. One of them is the nobleman that persuaded him in rebellion against the emperor and also betrayed him. He eventually forms an alliance with the MC in this life. Another person that gained their memories years later, when the MC grow up is Professor yu. His teacher that he grew up with. And the last person is a military nobleman student. The first two people and the MC has formed an alliance to try to tame the emperor to become a sage emperor. However, the military student has a different set of ideas. He wants to avenge the way that the emperor slaughtered professor yu in his past life, and he wants to kill the emperor and the MC.
In chapter 65 the emperor and the MC reconcile their relationship and build a lot of trust with each other. They also escape from the military student and end up in a village after they jump off a cliff and into the water.
Overall, it isn’t bad. I like the beginning a lot more because I thought it was interesting how he was trying to help the emperor become a better emperor, but he also realizes the emperor of his past life no longer exists in the current one. He has forever lost the emperor that he first fell in love with. It was a very bitter, sweet romance. However, as time goes by I got bored of the story a little bit. The tension between the emperor and the main character no longer is as intimate. The store is also extremely PG. They cut out and blur the nudity and sex scenes.
A Tree Without Roots
5.32.24:
Are you fucking serious???? I cannot believe they had such a massive misunderstanding between the main character and the main top that they would lead to wanting to kill each other. I am so frustrated, and I have never felt such a way my a mystery story before.
I really love the mystery and suspense. The story creates. The emotions are so raw and it’s not your typical romance, where, due to Stockholm syndrome, or somewhere another, they start to develop feelings for each other. The feelings of love here is more like atonement, or sacrifice, and willing to be that one person that the other can rely on because they relate to the loneliness That other person. It’s an extremely complex story. I do think towards the end of season, one. However, I think the author gave all the information to us a little bit quickly. It just felt like everything was coming together at the very end, it was more like it was just being force-fed to us, and we didn’t even get time to process.
The story is about how our main character, a prosecutor, was an orphan growing up, and he was often bullied by his school kids. His elementary school teacher, which is the mom of our younger top, used to take care of him, and was really kind him. he really felt parental love for this woman. However, one day, the woman suddenly disappeared, and later our bottom, and found out that she “committed suicide”.
For the rest of his life, our bottom has given, money, and support, and secretly watched over our younger top grow up. He wanted to support him from the shadows, so he didn’t really know what our tops life was like. Even though our top had a foster home and went to school, he was extremely lonely, and his foster parents treated him horribly. It was a torturous life. He found out about his secret protector and beaded him to come out. This is when our main couple finally meets. Eventually our top bags to stay at our bottoms place and tells him that he doesn’t need anything from our bottom, he doesn’t know what his life was really like, don’t say that you know me. Our bottom finally came to understand that he’s lived a super lonely and half life and takes him in. That’s how they started living together for almost a year.
This is where the mystery starts to unfold. We learned that our prosecutor is finding out the reason behind the tops mothers death. Even though the case is written, as though she committed suicide, towards the end of season one, we finally get the reveal that she was murdered. The entire plot of season one was really a build up to this moment, where we learn that there was a man who was blackmailing her because he saw her push someone off a mountain and dig a hole at the bottom of the mountain. And we also learn from past letters of the mother, important names, etc. It really felt like an Agatha Christie mystery novel lol.
The big reveal is that the bottoms current foster mother is actually the one who murdered hour tops, mother. We can conclude that the foster mother pushed her mother down a cliff and buried her body. Since she was a pretty powerful prosecutor back in the day, she falsified the case, and labeled it as a closed suicide case. Our bottom straight up, told his foster mom to turn her in, but apparently she has breast cancer and she used ethos to ask his son if he really wants to see her, spend her last days in jail. Due to this emotional appeal and how our bottom has actually been treated really well by this foster mother growing up, he decided not to rat her out.
On this fateful day, when are bottom goes back home, our top actually is getting similar information through another way. Our top is reading through the last letter that his mother left him, and through his aunts knowledge, also gained information that there was a person that his mother was terrified of, and on the day that the cathedral burn down (also how the mother died), there was a stranger at the church. So our stupid top (well, I guess you can’t blame him because our equally stupid bottom doesn’t tell him shit ) put two into together and thinks that it’s the bottom that said the Cathedral on fire. He’s confused, because why would the bottom and then run inside, get his back all burned up, to save him. But his doubt were confirmed, when our bottom stupidly announced that he can think what he is suspicious of. Our bottom told our top to never come back to him again and he’s tired of this shit. In reality, the bottom is only doing this to protect the top because it’s his foster mother that is the murder and technically he knows his information but it’s still helping her. It just pains me to see this type of miscommunication, this is probably one of the worst cases of miscommunication in any BL story.
Going back to what I talked about in the beginning, I liked how the sex in the story is very nuanced. It’s not just brainless bodies together – more often you see and other stories. Our bottom loves our top like a family, as a precious person that he would do anything for. And our younger top is the one who falls romantically in love with her bottom, and truly feels sexual desire towards him. But our bottom would sacrifice anything to make our top feel safe and loved so he just goes along with our tops behavior. We can see that obviously there is pleasure in there, but deep down this is because of stronger emotions, like atonement and devotion.
On the last chapter of season, one we are left with how are stupid, fucking evil foster mother actually beat cancer and is now running for a leadership position. Oh my lord. And seven years has passed. Our bottom is all grown up… is our top finally going to find out about the real truth? Is our tops mother finally going to get the justice she deserved? He’s our main couple actually going to get back together?

Nothing too deep but still super cute. I really like the diversity and the story. We have our Spanish bottom, we have coworkers, seemingly in different races, and our main character is Asian American. It’s kind of nice to see so many international stories going on these days.
It’s a romance between a mysophobic lawyer, and a cleaner who used to be a chef. And their characters are pretty compatible because our lawyer is a little cold, and isn’t great with holding on to a relationship or maybe you can bring his love, that’s why his ex fiancé left him. The bottom (who is Spanish, and also taller than our top kyaaa so cute) is a lover and gets lonely easily, he’s also really good at cooking, which is perfect for someone who has mysophobia and he’s also a great chef, very compatible for some big shot. Lawyer literally has no time to cook for himself. Opposites attract, they really do.
Around chapter 20 our main couple finally confesses their love for each other and gets into the relationship.

Holy fuck this is so hot!! All the boys in here are so handsome, even the side characters. I also love how the setting is in Manhattan so we literally hear about New York areas and common things that I actually do happen in New York, it’s so funny.
The set up here is immaculate as well. Our main character is a lawyer that has had a long-term toxic relationship, with a guy that doesn’t seem to care a lot about him, and abuses his care to do drugs, and to be part of a gang. Our ML is a famous and beautiful actor that has had a traumatic childhood where his mother not only abused drugs herself, but also forced her kid to take it. His mother eventually oh deed in front of him. Without his parents, he grew up to have a very lonely life where he only had money, but no one around him to truly care for him.
This lawyer X actor combo is perfect because our lawyer can provide our actor of the support and grounded love that he has never had in his life, and our actor can be a lover who actually listens and will change himself for the one he loves. The challenge that they have to face through together is the toxic and dangerous ex-boyfriend of the MC and the MLs history with drugs and traumatic childhood.
The MC it doesn’t have the smoothest life growing up either. He grew up in a foster home after his parents died and his current goal is to buy back that house that he lived in with them. Currently, the son of his foster parents is racist so he increase the price to such an unreasonable value that he isn’t able to purchase it as of now. That is why the MC decides to agree to live with the ML to make sure he doesn’t get into trouble. In exchange the manager of the ML would help him acquire that house.

Main character falls into a tragedy BL novel. The main character and the main leads face is actually his own face and his best friends face! Even though his best friend looks the same, the personalities are quite different.
In the novel, the main leads character has suffered, a major betrayal, where he not only lost his parents and his fortune, but also his love, the main character. Therefore, he buys our main character, a dominant omega, and imprisons him until he kills him. At least that’s how the novel ended. So our main character that transmigrated into the snow is going to take a new approach. He tries to stay alive by appeasing the main lead, and also by telling the truth! He gets diagnosed with multiple personality disorder, and uses his true personality to win over our main lead.

This is such a silly and absurd story! Our childhood friends are in love with each other. Where are bottom fell in love first. Or bottom doesn’t know how to be attractive to his crush so he seeks the guidance of an experienced sunbae who is very exotic in his sexual taste - he’s a masochist and enjoys S&M. While taking advantage of our main bottom by “ teaching” him to be sexy, he actually falls in love with him?
Eventually, the misunderstandings between our childhood friends clear up, and they confessed to each other. However. Our sunbae black males are bottom into.l doing a threesome because he really is into some interesting stuff.
