    Hm... Sure, I could try dropping it in the Writing Room for people who are writing futanari erotica. I get the feeling there are some people who are using that room as the "Writing Women Help Room" too, so maybe it will reach beyond the yuri fandom.

    New chapter of Whispering You a Love Song / by Takeshima Eku. Gogo Eku ! Continue writing fluffy stuff !
    Link: https://mangadex.org/chapter/694644/1
    Nutshell : MC hears how the romance began for her mom and dad (close friends, papa confess first year of high school but turned down but still attacks / mama only understand that she is in love with him in a festival during 3rd year).
    MC - FL on rooftop. MC explains everything and give a chance of FL to woo her. And now they are both happy of the present.
    END.

    KAKAKA I LIED ! To be continued. Just a little disappointed that MC didn't reveal to her mom that a girl is wooing her. Surely from the atmosphere mama and papa won't reject yuri but still would have prefered a closure early. But there will be surely a joke about papa kinda rejecting FL maybe (explained in this chapter he is an idiot parent for her daughter).

    Just read Maou shoujo magical chaos (I know old news whatevs). Pretty... Normal I guess? Above average I think suits better. I dun hate the yandere girl and lewds are guuut but other parts? The harem is too big and many characters either lack screen time or almost (not completely, the author knows how to write characters at least) forgettable just because numbers. The rest of points are above average but nothing excellent. Would rec but wouldn't call a fav so 3.5 ~ 4.5/5

    There doesn’t seem to more than 4 chapters on SH, where else are you reading this that you got this information. Unless you got the polished version on amazon

    I took a look at it
    What’s does ‘the two’s mind were on each other’ mean? The line didn’t make sense

    Maybe change the ‘who’s your mommy. Don’t scream.” To ‘who’s your mommy. Don’t speak nonsense!’

    You forgot the ‘walk’ in in Xia Man didn’t towards the little brat’

    Oh fu. I really did. Hell no.

    Fixed it tho. Facepalmed when I actually proofread it just now. Welp.

    Thanks a lot, @AsianessPride ~!

    ...This is exactly why I need a proofreader. Or maybe just less homeworks. And projects. And tests.

    I need more sleep.

    There's a ton of chapters on RR. over 100 at least.

    New GL novel on SH: The Flip Side. It seems good so far but there are a few warning bells for peeps like me and @Tsuru55 who prefer "straight GL". There is a "bisexual protagonist" tag and a male character (typical jock-type) has already appeared. Combine that with an "early romance" tag and i'm already weary of it going het before it ever reaches GL.
    Judging by the author's previous work, it probably will have both het and GL so i'm gonna bail from it unless proven otherwise.
    For those into that sort of thing, it might be for you though.
    EDIT: Asked the author a few Qs and they said that so far it is GL but the protag may have a boyfriend in the future. Does not bode well for GL prospects :blobcry:

    Already rec, at least i think so.

    Both can be likeable or not. Because you can see ton of different girls trying to flirt with MC. But you won't ever see true romance of MC with someone (she is not going out with any of them).

    The implied alone is good for me.:blobowoevil:

    I love when the MC got teased and spiraled out of control. At least maybe that how I fantasied things. :blobmelt:

    I liked the joke about childhood friend asking if they can stop being friends (to be lovers *not said*). Because i LOVE childhood friends romance and that was quite original too.

    Same, nothing against them in real life. But I rather have everything 100% yuri.

    Also, what’s RR?

    So, "Yuki and the Authoress" is finally finished~! Still some epilogues to go, but the main story is done.
    I'm surprised that grumpy abusive old dad melted my heart in the end...

    How did everyone else find it?

    What a pity... Although I almost find a het ending more interesting, given that this is a gender bender novel.

    I kind of like having bisexual protagonists for variety. It doesn't really matter if they've had boyfriends in the past.

    I hate when it's used as an excuse to have a love triangle with a male and a female love interest, though. Those sorts are somehow even worse than normal love triangles... I guess because it's the norm for the MC to choose the male love interest? It makes the GL romance feel so cheap and disrespected.

    Couldnt have said it better myself. I dont care if there have been past boyfriends before yuri/GL but.... love triangles with male AND female love interests just stink of cheap cliche melodrama especially when they have the protag choose the male love interest. It's disrespectful and frankly misleading when an otherwise perfectly good yuri/GL story is wrecked for melodrama and a half-assed het ending.

    It's like they want to have their cake and eat it too by trying to reel in both reader pools without thinking that the crossover between them is very, very, very small.

    Exactly~! I feel like it's usually done by people who want to profit from LGBT people/yuri lovers while only genuinely respecting their het-loving fans. It's an awful form of yuribait.

    This is exactly what I mean. Its always 60-40 with bisexual protagonist. If you look on DynastyScan Bisexual tag, there will always be a 'angst' or 'drama' or 'het' tag. The worst ever is when I see a 'bisexual' tag and a 'cheating' tag together. :blobtriumph: Because 90% the girl is gonna be cheated on. :blob_teary:
    This doujin by Morinaga Milk personally traumatized me: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/sweet_lips_1 :blobsob:

    I personally didn't like how the story changed authors along the way. The latter style was definitely much rougher for me. I still finish because its yuri and its cute. Personally like the Snake mistress and the sacrifice & the Straightfoward mistress and the shy servant much more.
