_cider_'s manga / #Manhua/Manhwa(167)

i was thrown off by the fact that franz suddenly turned straight like what. the whole situation felt off idk.

i was confused the whole time, yeah there was the kidnapping, the ransom, the rape but the story never expanded to explain why those things had to happened. it was good but eh,,,

I love it omg. It's straightforward with its plot, the MC was well balanced in terms of her OP-ness. There were no fillers or extra bullshit fan service, the others characters really felt like they had a purpose for the development of the plot. And one of my favorite, the MC is developing, like once she got her revenge on her father, she moved on with a much bigger goal and it was amazing to see, the creator is a genius, i wish more writers write this way.

Its so fucking adorable. I really thought this would be a bore but reading through, i became more sure that it will become one of my favorite manhuas lol. I thought it was a niche given that it was another 'cosplaying' scenario, but the story did not revolve itself around the concept, it was just a plot device that was used to elevate and push the story. i love the characters whole-heartedly because they are not your usual character tropes, it really feels satisfying. Like for example, I thought Banyi would turn out into an idiot hot mess who keeps messing up in the most cringiest way, but no, he's just a bright person whose an extreme people pleaser who worries about others. Li Lin, is the character i did not expect to fall for, I thought he was a very typical 'seme' with a sophisticated aura w/ an aloof personality, but nOooO, he's just a snob when he needs to be because he has boundaries and likes to be straightforward with what he does. I especially appreciate the bond between the two main characters because it started out comedic and now it became romantic w/ out sacrificing the comedy of their duo-ness. I also particularly like the use of psychology and the "cases" the story showed because it did not render adding a psychologist main character useless, we see his professional life as well and it didn't feel stereotyped as well. Overall, i love and adore this manhua, its plot, the character dynamic. its just so ugh, it deserves a place in my heart

Okay,,, at first I was really suspicious about how the story will go but honestly I'm loving it rn. Its comedic, the plot flows naturally, and nothing seems forced. I like how the ML is very aloof and actually does not feel emotions visibly at the first few times they met with the MC. Because when he opened up, it became more adorable and endearing. I also like how the MC is driven by the power of money, she does not feel awkward or weird, she just has a family debt, a gullible brother and a dream lmao.

Okay, this has to be, by far, my favorite manhua yet. Characters: I did not expect the dynamic AT ALL, when Baek "Threatened" Seo about him masturbating in the public bathroom I knew this couple would be the best thing that existed and I was not disappointed at all. I am glad that Beak did not turn out to be another large stupid himbo and his characterization was well defined and made him unique. Seo was an interesting one because he had a character backstory and it made him a character with dimension and made him relatable, I especially like how his defenses started to crumble slowly when he kept interacting with Baek, it was the character development I loved in a while. I also liked how their dynamic worked, Baek being a large golden retriever while Seo was the small black cat but the writer never made it obnoxiously obvious that they're just following a premade dynamic, and it was by their interaction that we see how they are and it feels so natural. Story: I like the pacing, the flow was wildly calm even though so many things had happened between them, and I really liked how the comedy aspect worked given the personalities of the characters. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO THEIR SMUT SCENES LIKE DAMN THEY ARE FIESTY ASF. Like, I really love how the first smut scene was on Ch 3 but the actual sex happened on somewhere Ch 30-ish. Like the author knew how to edge its audience and the characters with so much sexual tension it was insane. (but now they keep having unsolicited sex and im lowkey fed up with it lolz.)
