I'll Do That Marriage

Ongoing | 갈치구이 | 2019 released

10/10 !! Super good so far! Translation is getting kinda bad but I'll still read it ToT lol. Girl is born into a novel and she has to go help the "tyrant" emperor sleep. She goes in place of her sister and the emperor pretty much falls for her hard LOL. Mc's siblings are super duper cool and nice ToT. Emperor is super duper cute hahahaha. She's cool too and it's the first character from these types of story that didn't give in and change the storyline right away. She actually tried to not fall in love with the emperor's gave in towards the end. Lots of yuri moments with Celestine and MC LOL. And then I think MC's brother and Prince Shion are gonna be a thing? Idk. The brother said "if he's into ladys" or smthng like that so maybe???????? Yaoi moments would be nice ToT lololols

9/10 SOOO read some spoilers and ML isn't emperor but Yugi (short haired silver guy with snake looking eyes). VERY INTERESTING. Development is kinda long tbh so ima stop since I know who FL ends up with lol. Spoilers said emperor chose country over her (most likely bc she wouldn't be a good fit being an empress cuz shes an assassin). Apparently she dated Hahae (HE was the one I was rooting for ToT). But yugi was the one she felt the most connections with I guess (felt comfy with him). I guess I'm contempt with that ending. Not sure how I feel rn with all this anxiety lolol. Ahhh I'm realky rooting for Hahae ToT but whyyy isn't he the ML.

I am a child of this house

Ongoing | Shiya,Cotun | 2018 released

11111111/10 AHHH SO GOOOD. FL is adopted into a strong ass family but she's only half blood. Tis Okey bc her new family loves her so much ToT and pretty much bc shes a half blood ans part of their fam, she faces lots of threats and danger. ML is her knight guard, whom she met when she was 11. He was 18 when they met i think. SUPER weird bc he knew her since she was like little but yknowww what, tis a good age gap story so I like it ToT. Emel (emile, emiel, idk they spell it differently all the time lololol) is like the most basic looking male lead ever but he's so good looking at the same time. Especially when he becomes a Marques ToT. Ended on a cliff hanger tho ToT. SIDE NOTE: Dragon guy is by far the best looking guy in the story ♡○♡ lolol

10/10 Good story overall. Nothing super duper amazing but it's definitely a good read. I really enjoyed the fact that the FL had a strong personality and there weren't the rich-poor tropes in this webtoon ToT. It really was just peaceful with one main problem. The ML was likeable ishhhh lol. He isn't the best but he's def good looking and cute here & there haha. Overall good story, but not awesome lol

10/10 OKEy pretty good storyline. So you'd think it would be the typical reincarnation storyline but it's not ish. It's like the reverse LOL. So the girl is born, realizes she remembers her life. She's not from a family that's too poor or rich. There's a saint who came from another world (villainess of the story) and yeah ML is trying to get rid of her so he goes into a contract marriage with the FL. Plot twist, he's the one (well the crown prince did) who suggested it and she agrees. They go through stuff and all works out in the end. The ML got some issues so he couldn't address his love fully to the FL but he finally did ToT. Overall, great story. Story ended perfectly without anything dragging it on. This story really breaks the tropes for contract marriages bc its the guy who is suggesting it (bc he needs to be "saved lol) ather than the girl. Also ML is a silver-hairwd baddiiieeeeeeee ☆*☆ like whatttt. Typical tsundere but instead it's a silver haired dudeee. These types of "tyranical", distant, hard to approach male leads are usually the blondes or black haired boys but NOPE. Silver hair this time. He's soo good looking too ToT. Prob one of my favorite ML in terms of artwork (and a little bit of story cuz he's cute lol)

Remarried Empress

10/10 Soooooo the long awaited moment of reading this webtoon is now over lol. Glad to have been part of the crowd that read this webtoon. it's definitely a webtoon I'll remember bc of the drama and historical aspect. Very minimal romance but there's enough (specifically with characters like Heinrey). I can definitely see why this webtoon is so iconic though. Such a different storyline that builds off drama. The way the story is portrayed is so good bc it follows a plot that goes somewhere. Each character is iconic and I can see why it's stood its time. But I will say this now, i don't think it's a Top 10 for me tho lol. Story: FL is empress of the eastern empire and the emperor brings in a mistress who becomes concubine. Her and the concubine have issues and he pretty much divorces her and she remarried the emperor of the western empire. Thoughts on the characters: Souivech (idk how to spell his name LOL): So far, he's pretty trashy. Like super duper trashy and annoying. It's beyond annoying that he keeps blaming Navier for every thing and then trying to turn it around and make it about her hating Rashta. Like bro chill, she legit didn't even say anything, why u assuming. He's not level-headed or logical at all. Super duper irrational. His divorce plan has no logic to it and he pretty much set himself up for trash & failure with that stupid plan. Also, learn how to stop cutting people off (specifically Navier) when they're trying to explain themselves. Him & Navier's relationship failed due to communication but the overall failure of their relationship is due to his actions and feelings. Navier: Her character is realiy hard to fully like and support. She's a cold and stoic person so I understand she doesn't have a lot if emotional attachments to people and can't show her emotions, but cmon bro, be a little human. Her lack of distance and communication with Souivech was def one of the many reasons their relationship failed. I understand that all her life she's been taught to only care for the country and stuff, but it doesn't excuse her actions of disregarding Souivech (same goes for him too). Disregarding as in not showing affection towards him. He clearly shows his emotions but shes always so stern with him, but once again, I understand that that's just how she was raised. I don't necessarily think it was right of her to treat Rashta so cold in the beginning. The girl "doesnt know" anything so like can ya take a chill pill. I do feel bad that Rashta kinda gave her shit bc she def did not deserve that. Things I do like about her is how smart she is. She's not one to overthink or underthink. She's legit just smart and tactical, which is ironic bc that's what her biggest flaws are. She's so smart and tactical that she is blinded by the fact that her emotions exist. I definitely like the improvement with Heinrey tho. Rashta: I can now finally understand who this "Trashta" person is LOL. So, she's the epitome of an annoying girl who needs help with everything. The most annoying this is the third person talk, like BITCH STFU lol. However, considering her background and stuff, I dont think her actions were necessarily wrong. She's a naive girl who has never really experienced the real world besides slavery, so she's gonna go in thinking that everyone will be nice towards her, since the emperor was nice to her. She is definitely delusional into thinking that everyone would be nice to her tho. I think thats her biggest character flaw. The write portrays her as someone who is naive and attention seeking, but shouldn't it be the opposite? Especially since she's gone through such horrible things under her master (who is a noble). You would assume she'd be guarded but let's loose right away, hence why she's such a stupid dumbass bitch lol. Like ur so freaking stupid, build some common sense and a sense of security and guard around u. But of course, this does show how vulnerable she is to kindness when she receives it. I dont understand why a lot of people hate hate on her though. Considering the things she's been through, she's legit just trying to survive. I'm not saying her actions to take people down were justifiable and correct, but her character itself is not as bad as I thought it to be. My original idea of "Trashta" was a villainess that was super duper annoying. Don't get me wrong, she's annoying, but why she isn't as annoying is because her background makes it a little more acceptable to be this annoying. I still don't like her tho, bc she's an evil bitch and cunning LOL. Shes the epitome of a self victimizing person. Although she's a victim of trash stuff, it doesn't make it better that she throws things into people's faces. Also, she's so freaken weird. One thing I will way tho, I don't think it was wrong for her to look up to Navier. I think it was meant to be genuine like a sign of respect but her stupidity is beyond repairable so she ruined it herself.
