Pheromone Say Otherwise
3.8 stars
This is so cute and adorable. I freaking love their dynamic and even though the slow burn is testing my patience, it’s so worth it because theyre sooo cute as a couple and yea very hornet and Im not complaining. I enjoy the smexy moments and how I wish there are uncensored version bc they look really spicy. Also the artstyle is chef’s kiss omg
A Divided Legacy
I don’t like love triangle trope but this one seems to be leaning more towards a polygamous relationship since the MC clearly doesn’t want to lose both brothers who have attachment-issue and at the same time in love with him. Though Im rooting for the older one to be the ml but I like the red-haired one the most who is obviously the one Cheng Sheng loves. I want them to be the end-game and have their own spin-off story is that too much to ask.
I also find Li Xin the most complex and interesting character. She really started her villain arc story, nailed it and ended it mothering so hard. Her story is the saddest one and how I wish she could have married the love of her life instead. Same with Cheng Sheng and Hongzhe they should have given the opportunity to confess and have their own happy ending.
A Guy Like You
Gave another chance to this but still this shit is an ass I really cannot stand almost evey character here and the plot and messy romance are all over the place no wonder I dropped reading this years ago it’s so terrible
I Ship My Rival x Me
I haven’t finished the novel but it was pretty funny and the MC’s internal monologue is really entertaining. The manhua adaption is pretty cute
See You, My King
The art style is so freaking god-tier, it has to be one of my top favourites ever—from the incredible lightning, the details and the character designs are all drawn majestically.
The story though is okay, it’s entertaining but halfway through my reading it feels like a drag. In my opinion there are too many unnecessary chapters and fillers, kinda like watching a loooong historical cdrama with too many arc that could have been taken out and still wont affect the main plot.
I have a mixed reaction towards the MC—hes got some protagonist halo and hes like the jack of all trade I find it quite ridiculous. Zhang Li is smart, cunning, bold, creative, a badass and he knows what he wants and I like these about him. However he could be really nosy most of the time and acts like a tsundere (not a fan of this trope tbh). Also I know hes a medical professional but is hes a surgeon, an ophthalmologist, a mental health professional, a pharmacist like wut in the Anubis name??? Hes like a marty sue Im crying
There are also scenes that I find unbelievable like hes a slave in this old myth civilisation but acts like hes not one and even defy Mehemis, a literal king, a couple of times. I get that there is blossoming feelings involved and Mehemis is not really a tyrant per se but c’mon. Im just thinking that he finds Zhang Li interesting because hes smart and a pretttyyy blondie. Also the modern looking gloves, the contact lenses I just cant. It’s like the creator wanted to make a story about Egyptian Mythology but their creative state is still stuck in modern mode
I adore Mehemis a lot and hes got to have the most beautiful design. Hes so majestic Im drooling over a 2D character. Hes cute too but also tough and hinted to be a possessive lover too so yeah your majesty just one chance
Im not sure if this is adapted from a novel but it seems Zhang Li will not be returning in the modern world and theres also a new character aaahhh it’s Anubis who is hinted to prevent the fall of Mehemis. I hope theres more extra or side stories because it still feels incomplete
Please Pay Attention To Me
