   The first book is an infinite flow novel featuring a beloved, slightly ensemble cast. The plot is fast-paced, with a sweet-talking, slightly crazy, beautiful uke and a talkative, cunning, peacock-like seme. Both male leads are strong. Everyone in this book is intelligent. The only thing to avoid is the sometimes excessive amount of comments. Overall, five stars. Completed. The second book is also an ensemble piece with two male leads, featuring teamwork and collaboration. It's an academy-themed infinite flow novel with suspense and mystery elements. The characters are very intelligent, the plot is fast-paced, and the setting is novel. The only thing to avoid is the uke's occasional tearful incontinence, but he's very strong. He'll fight when necessary and self-harm when necessary. Overall, very good! Ongoing.
