    Never understood you angst-lovers

    Although I do like imagining sad yuri misunderstandings and crying myself to sleep. I wake up better the next day and don’t get nightmares.

    ————
    For example: Mc and FL are in a relationship. However, Mc believes that the person FL truly loves is Mc’s best friend and is only dating Mc out of pity. She seen how FL will always puts her best friend first, like the time FL cancel their date halfway through the moment she saw Mc’s best friend. Although at the beginning, she was full of anger, she slowly came to terms with it. She wishes them happiness as she builds the courage and will to break up with FL.

    One day, when FL was staying over, she accidentally forgot her scarf in Mc’s room. Mc would hold the scarf every night, falling asleep with it in her arms as if it was FL, with tear falling down her face.

    A month later, she finally did it. Better late than never. “Hey, let’s break up.” Mc said softly, not daring to look at FL or else she would break her composure. FL respond with “what?”

    Obviously confused at Mc’s suddenness. If only Mc dared look at FL’s face, she would see FL’s wide eyes and pale expression. But alas, she didn’t.

    Mc continues “Sorry for putting up with me... it must’ve been tough, having me hold you back.”

    “M-Mc...” FL stuttered out.

    “I know you like ‘best friend’ and is only dating me out of pity. I don’t want you to suffer anymore.” Mc gets up and walks away. Once FL awoke from her shock, she reach out her arm to Mc but she was too late. “Mc!”

    All FL could see is her lonely back as she walks further into the distance. Once Mc was far enough from FL, she took a scarf from her bag. The scarf FL left behind that day, that’s all Mc had of her. Although they were in a relationship, Mc was always the one giving, rarely the one given.

    Mc raise the scarf to her face and stuffed her face in it. Tear streaming down her face, I standing soaking the scarf. FL’s scent still lingers, just barely. Mc sniffs deeply, longing for the faint scent of her loved one. Mc whispers out loud “FL, I love you dearly. Thank you... and good bye...”

    ————
    I cry myself to sleep using something like this. Guess where I got the idea from? Do you like it?

    Yay! :blob_pompom: Still don't understand 5ark. Entertainment ark after previous one?
    I admire your dedication to read this kind of stories. If I read something like that I would smash something. :blobdevil:
    ---------
    Forgot to mention yesterday. For those who read 1 x ½ or took pause to read it later - read recent volume extra.
    Short version: first part of story is finished - second part will be somewhat different. When it will be? No answer. Also author wants to re-edit/rewrite some chapters in first part.
    ------
    Oh and... Not So Shoujo Love Story will come back on September 8th.

    Only if it’s in manga form, I would definitely smash the novel form of it.

    Inspired by this:

    I dunno, often times the misunderstandings and angst are brought about by some silly things and it's just painful to follow for me

    2nd Place: "The Villainess's Maid" by Ninetailed_Furball
    3rd Place: "The Demon King's Secretary" by Vongrak​

    Thank you to everyone who participated~! Especially for honouring the anonymity rule and keeping this fun for everyone.

    The entries have now been de-anonymised, with links to where you can find each entry's authors. The collection will later be rearranged host the winners' entries at the beginning but, due to issues surrounding changing the order of chapters shortly before or after releasing a new one on SH, that will be later today.
    For those who participated in the anthology, I have carried your crediting preferences over to the competition entries. If you'd like me to change it to something new, let me know.

    I'll be contacting the winners about their prizes soon.

    Alas, with the end of the competition, so ends my need to keep true neutrality as referee. If anyone would like my honest opinions and feedback on their stories (whether they were successful in entering or not), you can now ask me for them.

    So I commissioned Little.Viktoria for my favorite scene in The One Who Eats Monsters by Casey Matthews. I gotta say her art continues to impress me.

    By the way, not sure if I could ask this here, but it is yuri-related. I'm looking for a proofreader/beta reader for a story I'm rewriting, if anyone's down to help out. It's called Stalked by an Eldritch Deity in Love! .Title is self-explanatory, but with lots of other little details sprinkled in like yuri mates, friends with benefits, etc. It's about a super geeky genius who gushes about magic and stuff, and accidentally stumbles upon something ancient that grows irritably attached to her in horrifically funny ways. If anyone's down shoot me a PM to talk more about it.

    Hey I was about to post this one, but anyway....
    The summary is misleading, mc is super op. Fl is mc's fated love.
    My fave world is when mc vs stallion harem virus.
    Basically corrector yui with more yuri haha

    Anyway, here's more villainess x heroine
    Also legal loli villainess!
    反派花样送快递
    Mc is tasked to change to villain department, but the heroine... Seems to like her so much!?
    Also she got many task related to pampering the heroine...
    MC: wtf is this task, is this really villain department, not heroine servant department?

    There was some interesting mangas lately.

    5 Seconds Before Falling in Love with a Witch - Sequel to "5 Seconds Before a Witch Falls in Love".

    Gunbured x Sisters - "The manga is set in a world where, beginning with vampires, the supernatural world has been exposed to the public. Dorothy, a member of the Red Sisters clergy group that hunts down supernatural beings, has a fateful encounter with a blood-drenched woman named Maria."
    Comedic and echi story of lewd nun and a dhampir that hunts vampires that took her sister. Also dhampir gains superpower after drinking nun blood. Plus another name of the story - Nuns With Guns there are a lot of them. Including big gun incorporated in large cross for Maria.

    Peaceful Yuri Manga - "Yuri manga, taking place in a fictional Russia."

    宿主又对女配动心了
    When a scum girl is asked to educate scum heroine... By love. But the heroine is so scummy so mc decided to scum her instead.
    The fl is not the heroine, fl forget mc but mc remembers. Mc and fl both taskers.

    你好撩人
    The summary is misleading btw.
    Easy going mc x stuffy vice president
    Mc who was kinda irresponsible was stuffed to work as a devil's assistant (not literally). The devil is 32 tears old dead wood woman, who looked strong b ut actually is very cute, even can ger scared off because of cat mewl at night. Mc looks gentle and cute but actually very strong. Mc had bad relationship with her dad coa he derailed, and after her mom's death the father being the mistress and child to live in her mom's house. Mc agreed on dad's bet that if she can stay for 6 month working with fl he will give her her mom's house

    Plz someone tell which among the series of the yuri competition are fluffy/good endings/not dark/drama.

    I was quite depressed when i forced myself to read the one with war / the FL crossdressing, engaging herself to the war / bad ending of FL dying.
    Edit : The number 1 Spring-time one.

    The only one with the non-He is Spring Time so you should be safe with all the others. I recommend The dragon and the Snake, Sunset at the Sea, and Fairy or Not.

    Fluffy/Happy/Low Drama:
    The Demon King's Secretary
    The Alchemist's Love Potion
    Fairy or Not
    White Sapphire
    The Princess (maybe? This is pure smut)
    My Cosplay Was a Bit too Good

    Mostly happy but with some drama (all happy endings):
    The Dragon and The Snake
    The Dolmen (low on fluff, but human x fae creature)
    My Hero
    Daisy

    Avoid:
    The Villainess' Maid (not a completely unhappy ending, but not the cheeriest)
    Follow Me Till Death
    Just Love Me
    Not Too Late
    Sunset at the sea (fluffy romance, not-so-fluffy metaphor)
    If it seems too good to be true, it is not true!
