Father, I don't Want this Marriage

Ongoing | Hong hee su | 2019 released

Different from what I usually read (LUL), but my sibling mentioned the light novel enough times that I remember a few relevant details about the characters and background. Damn right I'm gonna read the adaptation so I have something to talk to them about. :D It's technically a body swap/reincarnation type story. The story has a dark initial setting with the villainess being accused of murder and committing s****** bc no one was on her side, but the story does end end up being kinda cutesy with the "body swapper" doing their best to avoid the bad ending.

This is a weird one, likeable MC, interesting setting, but... kinda inane story involving the main LI? Everyone wants to kill him. :|a Also, the official translations are better.

Suddenly Became a Princess One Day

I stumbled into the reincarnation trope, and this is fast becoming one of my favs. Athy is a lovely, complex character. (I'm team Ijekiel, sorry not sorry.)

This is really smutty, but also sort of romantic (with some power dynamic undertones but the main couple seem to be enthusiastically consenting here), but also really violent with some people dying every now and again. I really don't know what to make of the story so far, I can only say the official translations are probably gonna be better at explaining the plot points than the (most likely) google translated chapters available atm, lul.

The Beast Must Die

A very interesting read. It's about a young man seeking revenge who meets a clinical psychopath, and the mess that unfolds from there is really good. The story has mature themes that deal with crime, murder, backstabbing (the non-literal kind, hurhur), morality, and psychopathy. It's quite good! (There's extra content featuring the author's explanations for some of the later chapters, which I'm glad were included. Puts some perspective into those that might want to romanticize the main relationship.)

Bruh, I need to chill and figure out how to beat up fictional characters. This poor girl just trying to stay alive and not make herself a target. T_T

Interview with a Murderer

Complete | KJK | 2018 released

A reporter has the chance to interview a serial killer -- a chance provided him from an ex-lover who is also a psychiatrist. The tension between the characters slowly ramps up from there, as their relationships begin to twist and knot together. Personally, I found the story and character development to be incredibly satisfying to read. The climax of the story and its ending were *chef's kiss*. This is not a love story. There is no romance here. This is a story about the darker concept of love -- about how warped it can be, how it can cause people to ignore clear signs of danger, and how its absence can tip people over the edge. This was so well-done.

Fate Makes No Mistakes

I don't know if I would call the setting itself original but the story has an interesting plot. If you like a little bit of smut with a whole lot of plot, I'd recommend this. It has some elements of horror, considering the underworld, goblins, ghosts, and monsters, but it's very character driven. Waiting for S3 to begin to see where it all leads us.
