OnlyMes's manga / #shoujo(4)

I'm so disappointed with this Manga, and I had such high hopes! I'm almost reluctant to give it 3 stars because I actually really enjoyed this all the way up until the last volume. I wish I could rate the first few volumes because I would give it 6 stars if I could! Not a big fan of the harem schtick, but I could tolerate it simply because this was such an entertaining read for me- and I typically don't read anything shoujo related, let alone harem. I loved where the story was headed, I loved all the side chapters, all the characters, all the suspense and drama, just for everything to be burned to ashes in the end... it was such a letdown, I don't think I've ever met a worse ending. I'm so sad I invested so many months waiting for chapter releases just to get such a dumpster fire ending. For anyone wanting to read it, it'll still be a good read (up until the ending) just don't have your hopes too high.

This is the quickest I think I've ever read a webtoom/ manhua. My go-to read is mostly yuri and shoujo-ai so I honestly did not expect to complete this one once I stumbled across it, but this was really one of the best romance webtoons I've read in a while. Not only is the art beautiful, but the story is so original and well written. It took insane creative courage to be able to stick with such a plot and be able to execute it beautifully until the very end, I never wanted to stop reading this. I normally leave at least one critique on all the stories I've read, and if I had one, it would probably be how frustrating the communication was for Doo-Jool and Hee-won. It caused a lot of their issues, but to be fair, this isn't really such an honest critique because those situations do happen in real life. I was hoping to have more closure with Hee-won and Min-Wook. A huge reason why she even went out to have a one night stand was because of him, so I'm a little underwhelmed with their development and communication. I hate that she never said anything and just let it fizzle out and die. All-in-all, this was such an emotional read, everything was beautifully done down to the characters, to the artwork, and even the side stories. I'm really hoping to see this artist and author return for more in the future.

Not something I usually read, but I really enjoyed it lol. I originally skimmed it over because I thought it was similar to The Tainted Half, I'm not disappointed with how it went but I really only read through it because it was so short and because I had already made it through chapter 2. Concept was a little lost on me, felt like there needed to be a little more explanation regarding the incense- or at the very least, a little more concern/ confusion coming from the female and male lead. They kinda went along with everything going on a little too well lmao. Overall, this was a nice, quick read with great artwork and nice storytelling.
