Avoiding dub-con would explain why I haven't exactly seen much raunch

It's the same with me. Some of them have become extremely popular, as said, so I know them by seeing discussions/postings rather than by watching them. I'm told (and have seen gifs) that suggest they have a much higher level of graphic simulated sex in them than Moonlight Chicken does... less kissing, more humping? Wow, does that read like a really bad t-shirt slogan.

I started to look at that list and had to back out as that's precisely what I'm trying to avoid. The two other than Cubic (which has the setup for dub-con and rape which are handily foiled by teenage girls with sharp kneecaps, really such a silly show) which a mate wanted me to watch with her were also mafia setups lakorns which still had a bunch of the stuff on that list of 'supposed romances' and I had to back out.

I also watched Tale of Thousand Stars and Moonlight Chicken at a mate's request and if they hadn't been ridiculously charming, Moonlight Chicken in particular, I probably wouldn't have kept watching it. Manner of Death and Dear Doctor I'm Coming for Soul are much more in my wheelhouse.

If I watch romances, they tend to be of the short run/short episode type as I need something extra to keep going with a longer series.
