samster's manga / #dirtbag dad(11)

Very unconventional in the sense that the original work didn't have any ML- and I really think it fits here, because all Keira wants is the freedom to make her choices, and experience things she never got to do previously. The brother is an angel, and the father is a fucking dickwad. He has severe communication issues, and even whatever little he initiates from his side isn't enough. We're used to dirtbag dad's though

I love the main leads, and the characters individually as well. Daisy, in particular, stands out from other MCs in the same genre simply because of the very mature and pragmatic thought process she possesses. ML and MC play off each other's company very well, and there's a lot of chemistry between them. 10/10 for whatever I've read so far.

S1 was perfect. In terms of pacing, characters, dialogue, everything- it was a joy to read. Somehow, it's been a lot more difficult for me to read S2. It might be the change of art, but honestly, I believe the storytelling seems to have dipped in this new season. Things just don't seem that impactful anymore.

What do I even say? Aria's a bad bitch, through and through. Ngl, I'm here more for the well-deserved revenge than the romance. I do think the main leads are cute, but their relationship feels a bit rushed. I really enjoy the way Aria's platonic relationships with people is potrayed, it's very interesting to see her develop as a person. 12/10 for the revenge, 7/10 for the romance. Edit: whatever I said about the romance, I take it back. I love them so much I could scream. 12/10 romance

No manga has ever managed to enrage me so much. I detest this family with every fiber of my being, and I think the author has done an absolutely splendid job of making the reader hate them. ML and MC are really cute, and have great character development. The romance is alright, nothing special. Still cute though. Romance Update: they're fucking adorable. I hope they have a boatload of babies and live happily ever after. I am EXTREMELY vested in their best interests now

It grabs you by your metaphorical balls and doesn't let go. Slow, satisfying revenge. MC's rage is one that has been simmering and stewing for ages- but she's ever pragmatic and very cut throat. Genuinely one of the best revenge stories I've read. Eagerly waiting for updates. 10/10. 12/10 for the slow cooker revenge. I can appreciate playing the long game.

THIS IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE GAP MOE IS THE BEST!!!!! Also slightly torn between the guy and his wife bc they're both so pretty

Sinful and unabashedly dark, this manhwa doesn't hesitate to veer into problematic territory, but the depictions of violence and gore and other problematic content isn't just for the shock factor, it ties into the plot very well. MC herself is such an intriguing and extremely manipulative character, and the lack of restraint and borderline insanity makes a gorgeous character. The character designs are very unique, simply because of how stunning the art style is. The colour palette used to depict all the Agriche's fits into their theme very well. I'm genuinely in love with this story.

The OG of otome isekai and transmigration. You really can't go wrong with this manhwa. Athy is brilliant, has beautiful character development- rivaled only by Claude- and is such a joy to see. She's strong, a very good leader, and not weak at all. Lucas is sexy as hell, enough said. Ijekiel is brilliant and my heart I hate that his love for Athy won't bear fruit. Jeanette is so innocent and my heart breaks for her. I could really go on and on about why I love this story, but this really is a landmark for the otome isekai genre.
