Actually good JOSEI

For me, good josei should be:

 well-written FL & character-driven story. where we actually care about her as a person to follow her story

 filled with actually GOOD ROMANCE that makes me yearn for a relationship like theirs 

the first ones: GOOD read
the rest: tolerable by my standard

The Selfish Romance

 9.5(733 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Gyogyo park
Genre(s): Webtoons / Josei / Shoujo /

[REALLY GOOD]

#introverted ML #caring, doting, act-of-service, greeflag ML #extroverted FL

FL dated for 6 years but didn't proceed with the planned marriage.
#fake dating with ML in hope both their exes would come back to them.

surprise: the trope sounds cliche but the story goes BEYOND that. i didn't expect it to be so healthy and sweet, they're both mature and not stupid. the romance actually got me yearning for a man like ML too hhh

[ kinda good ]

"FL accidentally witnessed a murder and she caused the 'serial killer' to be in coma. she nursed him in her house for 2 years but when he suddenly woke up, she lied in shock: we are married and you are my kind husband!!!"

the premise is very fresh and intriguing haha. the combination of the genres are weird but also funny. beautiful, atmospheric arts. lots of green (FL is an arborist). #introverted FL #unhinged ML who tries to be good for FL

[kinda good]

i like it but also not really like it that much...?
some aspects feels lacking and most of the characters make me uncomfortable. the plot is not that easy to drop but also i'm too lazy to pick it up again once i dropped it bcs of the emotions it caused me... and i don't love the characters enough for me to want to read more.
which means i probably rated it 7/10.

started out slow and kinda boring, both the romance and the art is stiff especially in the beginning, but the FL is precious, i don't regret following her story til the end.
josei genre at its core.

[tolerable]

#greenflag ML #doting, caring, mature, HOT ML #he's too good i think the FL doesn't deserve him...
#FL is bright and persistent, was sympathetic at first but (imo) she becomes mid, kinda annoying, and gullible as the story goes...

ch.20-ish onwards there's almost no conflict, just a happily every after that started too soon. almost feel like a fanservice read... not really my taste. stayed for the ML.
