ReviewRaptor's Questions (14)

I know full well we have romances (hetero and BL alike) with a literally crazy or borderline crazy obsessive love interest (emperor, king, northern duke, etc.) and an oblivious, kind gentle, ditzy and so on MC he's persuing and said MC happily accepts or at leats isn't opposed to it.

Anyone remember any titles?

I know we have comics out there with this dynamic and someone is looking for an example of the crazy obsessed ML actually being appealing, not off putting.
So I'm hoping anyone can help, because I can't remember any titles (and I didn't tag them in my bookmarks to find them T~T).

Thanks in advance!

Anyone know if there is a BL that revolves around the korean military or similar settings?
Not looking for war or action (or something like a Zombie apocalypse), I'm just wondering if there even IS a comic that has the protagonists meet during military service.
We always see them meet in college and then someone goes to military service for 2 years, but I have not yet seen a story that actually utilizes that as the 'meeting him' part of the story.
Missed opportunity, as I had just realized, hence my question.

I need a historical-type shoujo romance WITHOUT a cliche young dude that looks like he came out of a korean idol clone factory.
Any recs?
Gimme some actual interesting artstyles that differentiate and nuance things. Actual adult men looking type love interests! I beg you! ╥﹏╥

I am really REALLY tired of the young guy/older teenager look for all these historical-type shoujo comic MLs.
It feels like copy-pasta or the comic creators using a damn template and often doesn't match their social rank or even age. And most of all; it makes them SOOO utterly boring.
At least give them SOME male facial features. Some type of 'weathering' to show their actual age instead of making a 21 year old korean boyband idol.

I just read the first chapter of this: https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_counterfeit_s_fateful_encounter/
And now I am thoroughly upset with myself for making the mistake of reading a new upload. ovo

Can anyone recommend me something equally as pleasant?
As in; a NOT over the top shoujo-fied story (ditzy, clumsy & Mary Sue-ish), but rather something more sense-making and logical in terms of storytelling and character behavior, something more calm and not over the top comedy-fied right off the bat. Kinda with a calm feeling to it and some emotions rather than hitting you in the face with a bag full of 'you must feel miserable for her NOW'.

Naturally, I'd prefer it having more than just a few chapters but I'll take anything. I just want something similar to read. :')

Just finished reading Groan and it made me want to read a story or two about characters that ran away from home and live on the streets or homeless for years that meet a person that takes them in. Be it in a transactional-fucking type of way or simply because they want to help the person.
Also doesn't matter if the story is about a homeless MC or love interest.

Would very much love something similar to Groan with a Mafia member as the one who takes them in, but it can be literally anyone: A shop owner or someone that was tasked with taking them in by their boss or friend.
I'm not too fond of the people having known each other before, but I'll take a look if they were just acquaintances instead of having a close relationship ( I simply prefer relationships starting when I read them, not it having happened already).

Any recommendets are greatly appreciated! <3

I'm looking for recommendations of the make-over kind. As in; someone gets their hair cut or changes appearance over quite some years and interacts with someone they'll then get into a relationship with.

I know I have seen a few around, and I read one earlier that somewhat applied to the make-over aspect but I'm interested in reading other stories.

Pretty sure there are plenty but I can only remember one story about a hairdresser who took over his father's shop and a student who's hair he cuts who then becomes a model.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations, new and old alike! <3

I am wondering if people know any stories that fit the mold of: Heroine slowly liberating herself and such. Growing stronger and more confident over time instead of IMMEDIATELY after regression, adulthood, isekai'ing, etc..

I asume the historical, lady meets prince, duke or such story would be the wanted genre.
I'm asking for a friend, because i am literally useless for shoujo recs. XD

Hetero or BL alike.
I'd be interested in more stories like "The maid and her favourite King of darkness". A story about MC being a huge and loving fan of a novel char and getting isekai'd into his maid's body to then find out she can ease his curse and he's being playful and interested in her in return. (To simplify it.)

It's really nice to see an isekai'd person be lovingly interested in the ML as well as needed by the big impressive ML instead of them just getting a contract marriage, forced marriage or possessive love, yada yada, etc. and only slowly falling in love in the second half of the story usually.
Tho them falling in love IS a must, else I'll find it boring too quick. XD

Does anyone have any recommendations? Hetero or BL alike, I'm interested in both.

Can someone tell me what the first comic listed here is? The thumbnail of the cover looks interesting.

I know it was a webtoon, with a medieval/historical setting (princesses, ladies and all that jazz) and the main character once entered an even dressed in a simple, dress that's more akin to a cocktail dress than those obnoxious, puffy ballroom dresses from olden times.
People I believe described/made fun of her because it was so little fabric and slender to her body that they called it underwear/a night gown.
That's the only scene I remember.

I THINK the MC was a young lady with red hair and the dress was green with golden details. But I am not entirely sure.


Does anyone know this?
