If I Never Loved You Webtoon
Well, the fl is decently capable and has an actual personality, but she is very forgiving, which is frustrating because I want to bash some of these characters heads in. Like, she captured the villainess but let her go because she asked for forgiveness. But then the villainess, her sister and ml’s ex, turned out to be lying about quitting her evil deeds and attacked her again (and just brought herself to rock bottom). Like, if she wanted to, she could walk away from her mess of a man and his bitch ex, but she didn’t because of her feelings, because she is aware he is misled and she was spoiled, so she decides she still likes them. But yeah, because she has an actual personality, she’s not as annoying as some other protagonists.
Well her forgiveness atleast netted her 1 really good friend, the blue haired girl, another ex gf of the ml. She was the first person to actually support fl, supported her a lot, almost almost almost made me cry (u know most of these redemption stories will never make me cry except maybe tears of disappointment) when she was willing to give up her career to take care of fl’s baby.
As for ml, he sucked during his asshole phase, but what sucked even more was when he got memory loss and had asshole phase part 2. Atleast it wasn’t for that long because they knew people would rage quit. I like how the fl lead just kept calm, didn’t get swayed by anything she saw or heard, and just carried out her investigations instead of crying or something.
Overall, if you’re into the garbage ml redemption genre, I’d say this story is one of the more well written ones. As for me, I’m too bored that I read redemption manhuas, and same with harlequins, trash fics, generic garbage gacha movies (usually with alpha in the title), and all the other dregs of contemporary media where the fl keeps getting tortured. Idk it just gives a different feeling from reading a story I actually like, like watching “the Lorax but everyone drinks and drives” type of videos.
The Princess's Time Travel Webtoon
I like this fl because she doesn’t try to act nice and just speaks what’s in her mind, very refreshing for a fl, and she’s intelligent and also good at scheming and doesn’t take any bull crap from anyone.
Your turn to chase after me
*includes some spoilers
First of all, it makes me laugh that law enforcement and sueing (like the designer case) solves so many problems in this story, but somehow the fl can’t get a divorce without ml’s permission just because.
Also, you all probably know already that ml was trash in his previous life and has done every scummy thing under the sun, including rape, imprisonment, blackmail, forcing her to entertain his ugly clients as a hooker (aka pimping her out), cheat on her in front of her to make her cry, throw her out the house, and torture her until she miscarries. And he tricked her into marrying him too by acting sweet to her because he blindly believe she murdered her sister, his ex, and didn’t even observe the woman in front of him, just because he wanted to trap her in that marriage and abuse her day and night. She still liked him because she thought he was good and he was only cold to her because of his misunderstandings, but he turned out to just be taking revenge because he loved her ex sister (though misunderstandings increased his cruel behavior). Thankfully, he didn’t do most of those things in his current life, but for good reason, she doesn’t want to fall in love with him in this life.
The fl was pretty cool for the first 30 chapters. She was sharp tongued and exposed those fakes around her well. She also insulted ml every chance she got and always brought up the divorce because she wasn’t going to be with him, even if he hadn’t done those things yet.
Then I think Shi Yi lost her brain cells just so the author can find an excuse for her to be lovey dovey with ml. Like, how on earth she did not suspect anything about the measurements being tampered when she was the one literally making the suit? Who gave her the foolish idea that sucking up to ml would get the suit back? That assistant was give by ml, why wasn’t she the least bit suspicious? Before that, whenever there was anything suspicious, fl would investigate it, so why didn’t she look into this assistant and just let the suit incident go?
Either ways, although the fl does blush, so far, by the end of season one (ch 219), she is still resentful towards him for his behavior to her in his past life. I think it’s annoying that most of her thoughts are that she can’t like him because he likes her dead sister rather than because he abused her. As if everything he did to her in the previous life was alright and she’ll be with him if he didn’t like that other girl. I hope that doesn’t become the case though and she doesn’t leap into his arms the minute he tells her he likes her instead of her deceased sister.
This fl also didn’t soften up too much to the ml and is still pretty cold. She slaps him away and bites him when he tries to kiss her a couple of times at least. And she also didn’t want to keep his child and tried to abort it in secret before he caught her, and thought nobody in this world wanted her child to be born, so it was better for her to abort even if she might lose the ability to conceive. Unlike some fls who immediately let scummy mls abuse them “for the sake of the baby”, she is still determined to get a divorce, even after agreeing to have the baby.
Second ml is good, but he does not have black hair and doesn’t have 9999+ wealth, strength, ”intelligence”, abd prestige, and he isn’t an asshole either, so fl will obviously not end up with him. 8 billion people in the world, but the only one who can catch her eye is the one who tormented her in her past life.
A Beauty, a Fatal Concubine
Annoying ml, points a sword at her neck every time they meet in the first few chapters and killed her in her past life. Fl is ruthless to everyone who wronged her, but when it comes to ml, he lifts her up once and she’s already smiling and thinking he’s good (despite wrongfully killing her his past life), and we’re supposed to ship them because they drew sparkles. At least the fl negotiates with him and doesn’t become completely foolish though. The fl is otherwise very capable and you might like this story because she is very cunning.
My Beloved Liu Yu'an
Idk why is the fl so dumb, and why did the ml pretend to be her real estate agent? If he didn’t want her in the house why did he sell it to her? Why does she keep jumping to conclusions instead of trying to figure out what is going on? She even thought the house was haunted but didn’t bother to clarify with the real estate people. I can’t handle how stupid characters are.
