Daisy(Lisabel)

Ongoing | Lisabel,ALLYN | 2000 released

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.

Seduce the Villain's Father

Ongoing | 달슬,비아 | 2020 released

Fantastic. There is plenty of personality to both the leads- while I do wish they communicated better, it's completely understandable why they don't/can't due to their current circumstances. Excellent chemistry, and you'll find yourself rooting for them. Very dramatic though, I don't know how much my poor heart can handle.

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

The Stereotypical Life of a Reincarnated Lady

Ongoing | blacky salt,fullmo | 2019 released

I feel that the main leads relationship in this is a lot more subdued than what we usually see in this genre- but that's not a bad thing. I think the leisurely pacing lends credence to their relationship, and it works really well here. The supporting characters are of significant note, and are so well-rounded. I enjoy this immensely. 10/10.

Please Throw Me Away

Ongoing | 자은향,채로 | 2019 released

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

The Villain Discovered My Identity

Ongoing | Cha sohee,Chara | 2020 released

Oh my god. How do I begin to describe the brilliance? Perfectly tempered political maneuvering, with a generous heaping of manipulation, and plenty of hilarious comedic moments. I love this story. The characters themselves are so unique because the author doesn't take the tried and tested method of what you'd expect their archetypes to be like. Excellent, 9/10.

Surviving As A Maid

Ongoing | Heeseo,Cloud whale soap | 2020 released

I have a lifetime membership in the Yurgel Hate Club. I'd sell his soul to Satan for a dust bunny. That aside, there's so much politcking and from some such a fresh, unique perspective. Plus, MC doesn't have the full picture and she's still putting the pieces together. Great stuff.

Shadow Queen

Ongoing | Hayol(하율) | 2020 released

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.

A Villain Is A Good Match For A Tyrant

Ongoing | 유이란 (yoo leeran),나전 (najeon), 자개 (jage) | 2020 released

Original premise, excellent characters, unforgettable and sizzling chemistry- and that's just the beginning. The dichotomy of how Cecile acts and how Cecile is, is so fun to read. The interactions between ML and MC are also excellent, and they go so well together. I wouldn't ask for anything to change.

My Fiance is in Love with My Little Sister

Ongoing | Hanabusa,Mashiro | 2019 released

You think you've cried and been sad? Not until you're sobbing in your bed, feeling like it's hard to breathe because this manga is beyond heartbreaking. You ain't ever seen tragedy like this. This story is going to touch something visceral in you, and leave a raw, gaping wound, and you. Can't. Stop. Reading. 12/10.
