Finished and Reviewed Novels

Finished and Reviewed Novels
A LOT of people have lists I've used to find books I've enjoyed. This is my return favor; I hope others can use this to find novels they will really enjoy as well! 

Important notes - List is in reading order. not preference or any ranking system. My reviews are listed here as well just so you can see my thoughts. I tend to rate things more highly if I think the general rating is lower than it should be. I also tend to LOVE well written angsty stories, and character growth is DEFINITELY a plus. Spoilers are NOT HIDDEN because I couldn't figure out how to get them to work right. 

Top stories for sheer freaking emotional impact - 
Breakup Gift ** I Don't Want to be Loved ** Konyaki-haki sarete Me ga Samemashita ** Two or Three Things About Mr. and Mr. **

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have some huge feelings about this one. There's a lot of rip your heart out angst and if that's what you're looking for, this story delivers in spades. I loved how they used multiple POV to illustrate how the misunderstandings arose between the leads because of differing expectations and backgrounds. It was a great demonstration of unreliable narration and how vital communication is to understanding and relationships. The writing flowed exceptionally well and the editing was fantastic - this story was much easier to understand than some of the others I have read, and I DEEPLY appreciate that. I really, REALLY enjoyed it for the realistic depiction of trauma and the aftereffects -... more>>

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I do NOT understand the people who didn't like this one - yes, it's long and complicated, but EVERYTHING ends up being a part of the plot. This one is SO intricate and well-planned out - I would NOT have been able to read this as it was coming out because I would have forgotten most of the plot points before they were used to yank the plot in a completely unexpected direction. There are SO many payoffs, but you do have to be patient. This one is an onion, and the layers get peeled off very slowly. I hope others enjoy this as much as I have!... more>>

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ *EDIT* Finished it. This one is AMAZING. I LOVE it and Lucretius is possibly my new favorite ML. He subconsciously wants to be a possessive yandere SO MUCH and knows that Bina would kick his rear so he DOESN'T. I ADORE their relationship. It's so incredibly healthy and respectful. Luc and Bina are partners in every part of their life. They trust and love each other SO much. They both know they are weak to the other one and are super okay with it. THAT is relationship goals! ... more>>
