The stories have a tragic story but got a happy ending (In Bronze - I think o.O) Both got a hunky, uber cool Seme and too pushy with their uke that make them looks like raping their uke's. Both a good to read. If you want an intense and too twisted story, then this is for you. 

Both got a very angst romance and an open-ended story. Both worth a read. 

Hagio Moto's A Cruel God Reigns (aka. Zankoku Na Kami Ga Shihai Suru) was most likely influenced by what was called yaoi's "most major work" --Bronze: Zetsuai. Both of them are from late 80s/early 90s, and they contain semi-insane characters, a controversial plot, explicit sexual abuse, and are angsty, violent, bloody, and horrifying. The dark and grim stories are -extremely- difficult to read and enjoy. There are some clear differences however: Zetsuai has some "nice"r moments, along with lots of melodrama, whereas A Cruel God Reigns has none, and is a lot more refined as a whole. 

Both of these mangas are about people who know they would logically be better off not being romantically/sexually involved, but also find it impossible and ultimately undesireable to do so.
