These stories read like they were written and drawn by a teenager. 2016? More like 2002. I will give her this: all the sex scenes are about as sexy and passionate as the average porn scene would be if acted out IRL—too bad that the non-AV ones are like that too, lol. Don't go into these expecting basic writing, common sense, good smut, or characters that you'll remember an hour after you've finished reading.
Koakuma wa Ore no Iinari - combines the average 2000s smutty shoujo plot beats with the laziest 2000s yaoi tropes. Rui (seme) is cold and forceful, and Eak (uke) is the innocent tsundere. The art was so stiff that I was sure Eak's neck had snapped once or twice.
Samenai Yume Nara Nando Demo - more tropes, yay. Kai (seme) pushes his confession on Hayato (uke, half his age) for a year and finally assaults him—but it's fine, because Hayato had been repressing himself and can now fall in love with Kai. I also have no idea what each of their "traumas" was supposed to be, despite the two literally spelling them out, because they make no sense. Who knows, it's more Drama.
Catch up - a high school student who prostitutes himself and does AVs...and another high school student who "buys" him? They even have sex on a pile of money, which is, like, commentary or something. What's this plot, lmao.
Precious Ring - somehow, the art has gotten even worse and the writing reaches new lows, like those yaoi from the 2000s you suspect were actually shoujo to begin with but the mangaka replaced the FL with a guy at the last moment. Sora (your bog-standard insecure tsundere who blunders into misunderstandings) is a fan of Akihi and believes he's not a player; in the next panel, he does a 180 and hates him. And when I say the "twist" KILLED me, oh man: Sora is throwing a tantrum that Akihi hasn't worn the ring he'd given him...when Akihi points out that he had had it cut and turned into an earring...which he is wearing. My man, how could you not see it?? I went back to check and, sure enough, it's visible all throughout the story!
Respect - after the stupidity of the previous one, this story isn't even registering on my radar. Something about a rich high school student (who doesn't know what a luxury hotel is, or what sex and masturbation are...yeah) clinging to a straight-laced one. Even porn has better plots, istg.
