Likes: 

Cover. It might be one of the most standards covers I saw, as almost every Yuri cover has this kind of cover, but it doesn't change the fact that it lured me into interest of reading this.

Drawings. The art is really nice. Especially as I noticed that the hair has a white outline, than the rest of the body parts, giving its certain highlight (only in the colour drawings). The eyes just seemed a bit uncanny on some pages at the start, but later on I didn't find this anymore, while reading. As an example for the uncanny part is page 27, last panel, her mouth isn't connected to her head, making it look a bit creepy. I understand that it doesn't need to always have a line for every single space, but this one is a bit too big and noticeable and it just doesn't seem right. 
Dislikes:

I didn't like the comedy part in it, but that's 'cause I usually avoid anything with comedy as I don't quite enjoy most of it, so it's on me, I bet other's will find it funny. 

It's a bit like a p*rn, as the romance starts off so fast and doesn't seem like any actual romance is involved. 

The main character is acting a bit too fast when she accepts the 'kiss request', just for her future school. Also the way she said 'I will do anything', makes her look like an object. She just agreed way too fast and it is unrealistic. 

The teacher's request was in the beginning fine as she also had a good reasoning; Being under peers puts one more at ease and has more strength to put one back to school than a teacher, but asking her to higher the grades of Honda is a job that only a teacher should do, NOT a student. They can help, yes, but it's the teacher's job to tell the student to learn and the teacher's job to assist them. Students might learn together, but it's not their job to go after them and their grades. 

The ending didn't make me excited to read more. There certainly was a question, which one can think about a while after they finished it, but as the pacing was so different for each chapter and usually nothing happened and the only 'exciting' part was the romance it made me not interested whatsoever for another part. 
How it works: Only everything that is lower than 9 gets reduced from the final rating. Depending on how strong it inflicted the overall enjoyment of reading it effects differently.

Thank you for the advanced reader copy of I Can't Say No to the Lonely Girl 1 by Kashikaze.

I wouldn't recommend it, unless you like fast romance and a bit of a ecchi part to it.

Review: The Six Deaths Of The Saint

Book information Title: The Six Deaths Of The Saint Author: Alix E. Harrow Where to buy:  Amazon . This review includes spoilers, read at your own risk. “Well, she is my Devil now.” In a thousand years and a thousand after that, they will still sing of the Prince and his Devil. Your body fighting battles you’d already won or hadn’t yet fought. “My Devil,” he said, and there was nothing you would not do for him when he spoke in this voice: fond, fatherly, full of love. You understood, finally, that there had never truly been a she or a you but only a terrible, lonely I. “I would rather love a coward than mourn a legend.” I wanted so badly to be beloved. But only one person in all my lives has ever loved me, and he does not wear a crown. Likes: Tragic past of the main character makes them more human than anyone in the story thought she was. Also, the little detail with the red hair and the century (witches) was awesome. Everyone thought she was a devil 'cause of her red hair (and her...

Review: The Way It Is

The Way It Is by Shirani Rajapakse My rating: 4 of 5 stars *I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.* The Book ‘The Way It Is’, is about a poetry collection ranging from politics and racism to war and death. Even though the poems don't rhyme most of the time, it still has a great flow while reading. I really liked about this book how wide ranging the topics were in it. After reading about war, I was reading about how woman dress and misogyny and then after that about slavery. Poems express so much more than outspoken words ever can and Shirani Rajapakse kept me intrigued with her poetry collection till the end. While reading I felt that these poems felt extremely personal and heartbreaking for me. The way the words were chosen for each poem, made me feel heard and understood, as I express the same feelings to certain topics that were covered in this collection. The poems were also not overly complicate...

Review: The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray

The Uncensored Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde My rating: 4 of 5 stars Short summary of my review The Picture of Dorian Gray is a great read for anyone who believes to like stories about the soul and body and how easily it can get influenced or 'stained'. The character development for me in this book took me by surprise as I didn't expect it to turn out in the way it did. A few chapters before the ending was a tense moment, which felt like a great plot twist as I didn't expect the things that happened there. Despite Dorian Gray appearing to be smart and proofing it multiple times, he did some fatal mistakes that could have ended very badly for him. So, it left me confused as to why he was rewarded with luck, for his not well-thought-out plan. Disclaimer I read the original edition, which is the uncensored version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Note The following review is spoiler free, which misses a few aspects. If you want to ...
