Seiryaku Kekkon no Danna-sama to Koi wo Hajimemasu.
cute nonsensical story. historical setting. fl from small noble family, gets engaged to ml from powerful family. but ml is second son and injured his hand so he's kinda fallen from grace. through fl's support, ml gets over his depression and works on healing his hands and repairs some family relationships. fl is a mary sue but it's still a lot better than the annoying fls being dumb.
Your Eternal Lies
this is the best written manhwa i've ever fucking read. so much depth and detail it reads like a novel. but i'm not that into the damaged goods character types, so this is not exactly perfect imo. but i can recognize the good writing and brilliant art for what it is. tragic backgrounds both of them.... 25 fl 30 ml. fl grew up an orphan before being sold as a wife to an abusive nasty man. ml's parents died while he was young and then he went to military academy at age 10 and became air force commander at age 20 and spent basically all his youth fighting a war. he's known as a war hero but damaged by war. fl was inspired by ml's war hero posters and voice telling ppl it's all ok. ml was obsessed with how fl was the sole survivor of their town since she escaped prison there when the air raids happened. anyway, basically the whole story takes place over a week or so on a ship. fl is being transported to an island for prisoners. she killed her husband at 17 and has escaped from prison twice. she keeps insisting she didn't do it, but in the end we find out she did do it.... ml is the guy who's escorting her to the island prison. along the way they understand each other deeper than their initial interest from seeing each other in newspapers. and ofc fall in love. lots of shit happen on the boat. fl saves the captain's granddaughter from choking death and they all treat her really well. give her lots of perks like no shackles and taking her to nice dinners and parties. ml slowly wants fl to escape, so that's why he's being so lenient with her and kinda giving her hints about what she can do to escape. but even he thinks it might be impossible cuz they're surrounded by ocean and sea monsters. but then fl turns into a witch and the sea monsters are on her side helping her escape. so she does. with ml helping her give a sedative to everyone on board. then they confess to each other before he sends her off. that's the end of the story. in extras ml retires from military and actually gets put in exile cuz they kinda know he helped her escape, but can't do much to punish him due to hero status. the empress helps him cuz they're old school pals and he gets to pick the island he spends rest of his life on. he picks an island close to the witch island that he knows fl is at. and a year later he starts having dreams about her constantly. then she shows up at his house and they are cutely reunited. she can only come occasionally cuz she needs to follow some witch rules while learning witchery on witch island..... but they are so sweet and exchange rings and have sex and stuff. honestly great story i just dislike fl's character and ml is too much of an expressionless damaged man...... i get why the sjws all love it and it is really well made, but just not my style tbh.

I'm Engaged to an Obsessive Male Lead
dropped chap 56. FUCKING DIDN'T NEED A MONOLOGUE ON HOW MUTTS ARE BETTER THAN PUREBREDS WTFFFFFF and fl is such a mary sue. she's so smart and perfect and literally every fucking man in her age range is in love with her wtf... she wakes up remembering this is story of bl novel she read before. she dies from disease and then story starts, so to prevent a sad life and death she gets engaged to the ml in the novel who she has some dirt on and can help i guess..... and they quickly fall in love but whole time since they have a contract they think the other person doesn't like them. and fl thinks ml is gay cuz this was originally a bl novel. honestly just tired of every chapter praising how smart the fl is......... so fucking boring and apparently rushed ending.

For Better or For Worse
THIS IS MAYBE THE BEST FUCKING ISEKAI ROMANCE I'VE EVER READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ART IS SO FUCKING GORGEOUS, IT'S DEFINITELY THE BEST. CHARACTERS ARE FUCKING AMAZING. STORY IS SO VIBRANT AND I LOVE ALL THE SIDE CHARACTERS TOO. THEY MAKE RECURRING OCCURRENCES AND IT JUST FEELS LIKE REAL LIFE. only thing i can complain about is i wish we saw more of the romance between ml and fl. fl was so absorbed the whole time about how ml probably loves the original novel's fl that nothing happened between them for 100 chapters except some cute blushing and convo..... damn i would have loved to see more affection from them after they finally realized their feelings. it's already a lot of good affection, like fl taking initiative and openly showing love, high quality affection, but just so low quantity T-T...... anyway, this is a fucking masterpiece. both from an objective standpoint and subjectively for me it's 9/10.
The Noble Pirate
really liked this one. good art and characters. good progression. even their fights are very real. i just wish it were longer and the ending didn't feel so rushed? like i want more sweet moments between them after ml had to mourn fl for 7 fucking years. 4 years when she first died and then 3 more when she died again. fucking feel for him... fl is a famous pirate. she's killed by her best mate. reincarnates into new body 4 years later. the guy who liked her before recognizes her pretty fast. her family is happy to marry her off and she agrees to marry ml cuz she doesn't have anyone else who really knows her pirate side. they happily move to ml's place and big drama starts. apparently it was the crown prince who killed the previous owner of fl's body. he did it for his mother who is a witch who was previously a goddess? kinda confusing, but basically she lost goddess status when people stopped believing in her. became evil witch. she wanted fl's body cuz it was the immortal body of a saint. ritual got messed up and fl got the body instead cuz her sea witch was helping save her soul by putting it in this body... anyway, ml gets attacked at sea cuz of a trap the prince set. ml gets captured by prince and fl goes to save him. they escape together and then fl still wants to do her revenge on the dude who killed her originally. she gets in a fight with ml cuz ml is overbearing about not letting her do anything in case she gets hurt and dies. she leaves and he's like ok i love you so go be free. she goes to meet the guy who killed her and he kidnaps her. apparently he always liked her but she never noticed him, so he wanted to trap her in a weak body and possess her... kinda weak reasoning but ok then the sea witch helps fl get free and as fl is helping the sea witch free her real body, the dude shows up shooting at them. there's a fight and fl kills him. then other crew members come to attack and prince and his mom comes. they are going to perform ritual to get fl out of the body, but then ml and crown princess comes. there's a big fight. crown princess kills prince cuz she wants to be empress and he was planing to kill her. she also kills the mom. and i'm confused why that's not her mom??? lol but the witch mom shot off some last magic at fl before she died and fl dies.... sea witch tells another character that they need to prey to fl like she's a goddess and she will become one cuz she is in a saint's body and her soul was originally a saint of the sea witch's religion. anyway apparently it works and 3 years later fl shows up in front of ml and they're together again. story ends there. fucking sad they barely got any sweet time together.... all this fucking drama and no rest..... at least they're shown having sex and kissing openly. i guess this was rated r novel?
The Emperor's Erection Project
smut straight manhwa. honestly best straight smut i've ever seen??? feels the same as bl smut. maid x emperor. some messed up shit happens for both of them in their sexual development. but they find each other and have great sex and heal from their pasts together. emperor has ED and trying to find cure. he gets hard from fl berating him cuz she doesn't know he's the emperor. after that ml keeps going to fl and gets her to help him fix his ED. they spend a bunch of time together and ml falls in love. only gets hard for fl, even when she's not berating him. he just loves her, he's not a masochist lol. story kinda sucks for logic, but art and smut is good.... story 3 stars... smut 4 stars...
