I hate that it's getting normalized that women are constantly saying "no" even if you can see because of their thoughts that they want it. That paints the picture that generally women who say No only play coy and that verbal consent, aka saying yes, is not happening.
People. Please. Asking and giving consent can be sexy, why not use it that way instead of the old "i know you want it" which is bs because nobody ever knows?

The male protagonist is, frankly speaking, an a-hole. He behaves like a mean idiot, he isn't nice towards her at all, randomly kisses her and constantly puts her down. Of course, she's also weird and just starts screaming instantly and somehow she's not able to live on her own (who forgets how their door works?), but his behaviour is like a kindergardener who pulls on girls' hair and everyone said "boys are mean to girls they like" and he just... Did so for the next thirty years.

This aims to be a cute read, but it was kind of a desaster.

Oh my god, I didn't think I'd find a story on this website that I'd be so invested in. The characters have issues but you do see a development, Without it being the usual "omg love heals all".
Actually, because these people have issues, their relationship develops slowly.
The art is fantastic, I didn't notice I'd would be that dark before hand but I'm happy because I wouldn't have opened it and it's dark in a good way. Can only recommend!

Bruh. The guy forces his feelings, marriage and intercourse on her like it's his right. The female protagonist on the other hand said she never had any romantic feelings for him.
Noooope.

I'm mostly not fan of the dom/sub thing, because it mostly just throws the issue of consent out of the window. But this one is so well written, I just can't!
Absolutely fantastic.

I actually like how much it focuses on everyday struggled and things like different views on a household and living styles. I think those are things that stress out more people than dramatic problems, which is why it's so relaxing and sweet to see them deal with it in a healthy way. Also they way he asks for consent every time is so nice! Love it.

It's just what the title sais - a lot of spicey scenes. If you want any relationship or character development, that's not happening. If you want steamy scenes, this is for you - if you want anything else, you may be bored as I was. Its just about preference :)

While it looks like a s.m.u.t.s.how, and it is at first, it also has a very cute emotional understory, which I really liked.
Also, there's a second story, which is the same - also cute and fluffy undercurrents.

I really like how both stories turned out regarding the relationship dynamics. :)

Pleeassseeee stop trying to show lacking consent as something that is a sign of some emotion, like an uncontrollable love. It's not. Its harassment or r.a.p.e.
Only a yes is consent. And getting consent can be quite sexy, but at least it's the bare minimum.

I hate that it's normalized that a "No" is "just being shy" and doesn't count. That "best friend" is just an a.s.s.hole.

Otherwise, when it's actually about emotions and talking about them, (and consensual s.e.x.) it's a cute story.

The plot starts weirdly. I get that you somehow want to be able to go straight to the s.m.u.t, but why would anybody tell something like that at a group date xD
But I like the way that consent is not just a thing there, but being shown as cute, hot and a part of foreplay.

On the one hand, I love the setting. You have a protagonist who is clearly burnt out from having a work persona, which is in western culture a thing but I think even more in east asia, if I understand correctly. Of course you get tired easily and are not able to "work" even more at home and get groggy.
Oftentimes, being messy is a symptom of things like depression and burnout. Also, it's very common for women to have internalised the need to NOT be messy, to have a good household and to care for people.
As a setup, that's fantastic and has a lot of potential for really good conflict and compromise which we all relate to.
I just hope (didnt read all) that it doesn't get to the point where she just "fixes" him to be a perfect household bee and just works to the bone to her Standards instead of questioning the standards itself and finding a real compromise between the two without expectations from others.

Simply a cute story, though the difficulties and some tropes are very common and not really realistic. But a nice read!

Many comics romanticize the idea of forceful sex. If it's in a setting of roleplay, that's one thing, but I don't like how often it's portrayed as normal that someone sais No and the answer is "but you want it" (they don't, they said no) or "push me away" (only yes is a yes, it's not the victims responsibility to act forceful. They already said no).
I think their sexual relationship was quite healthy in that aspect!

Can't even say why, but I liked the plot and was honestly surprised about a few plot twists. Don't know how to feel about a spider as a protagonist, but well, I've got my eye on this!

I mean, no kinkshame, everyone can read what gets their gears turning. I don't really get behind the idea of some D so big it would make the protagonist potty in a bag because it rips all their muscles and basically just destroy their innards.
I'd read that comic a while ago and tbh, that storyline wasn't that catching to buy over 100 chapters. It gets repetitive after a while, I think.

That was a ride, I guess. It started off very lightly, but Yamashiros story was treated with the empathy it needs. Not sure about Yashiro, tho. He ... Just comes off as a stalker, which is not that convincing.

I wonder about Tsuji. I mean we do get a small chapter about him, which kind of takes up space in the storyline and prevents us from learning more about the protagonists evolving relationship. On the other hand, it's a very short chapter, and we don't get the chance to really connect with him. For me the story needs either more Tsuji so that we know who he is - or less Tsuji and let him be this stone-faced sidekick. Cute tho, minus that one scene without consent.
