Thought a lot about this and the answer is "love." I want romance, I want fantasy! Cotton candy fluff, rough and tumble hurt and comfort, slow burn angst, I just want more sweetness in my kodo fiction.

I feel like, everything kodo you read is just an excuse porn, and a lot of it is explicit rape, abusive, "this is wrong and we can never be together" at best.

But it's a fantasy either way, why not embrace it? I saw a doujin recently called "A World Where You Can Marry Grade Schoolers" that had a very sweet established relationship, and some of my favorite doujins are similarly super sweet and romantic - ueda yuu's "steaming hot takoyaki", inaba cozy's "under the bridge." also some recent non porn comics, like "onee-san is into elementary school girls" and the "apple parfait" onee yuri anthology, have similarly romantic stories!

that's the kind of story i love and obsess over and i desperately wish there was more of it, both in narratives and art. i write a lot of brutal stuff but i really strive to write these stories too and fill that gap, with stories like "josephine jackrabbit" and particularly "victor and the spoiled."

this was a great question and really gave me an excuse to talk about something i think about a lot as it is! thank you so much!
