The Way to Protect the Female Lead's Older Brother

The art is dazzling. I like the FL because compared to other manwha protagonists, she is quite ruthless. But all the other characters (such as her family members) are all assholes. I guess it’s to be expected because it’s a villain household. The plot is a little senseless. I don’t understand how FL’s family believed that Cassis was dead for 3 years. And from what I remember, FL wants to save ML so she could save herself from being killed by ML’s sister or something (I’m not going to bother rereading it). I think ML has stock holmes syndrome, how did he fall in love with a family member of someone who kidnapped AND tortured him? I understand that Roxana is supposedly ‘the most beautiful’ person in the world but shouldn’t he have some grudges at least? I find it a little boring, but I’m still hooked and I want to find out how it ends.

I Raised the Beast Well

Well, this has a slightly different plot compared to other Shoujo manwha. Apparently, FLis the god that the ancient animals worship or some shit. It’s pretty interesting and ML is one of the most powerful ancient animals(?). I find it a little weird that ML is always in cat form, I can’t take him seriously because of it. Our FL is a little.. meh? She doesn’t really have much character or striking personality traits. I think that the art is pretty so I hope that the story impresses me once completed.

I Raised Cinderella Preciously

It’s not a very impressive story. FL isekai’d into the cinderella and the glass shoe Disney story and now lives as the mother of cinderella. Apparently, their family is broke asf and meets a rich dude on the street and the rich dude falls in love with Mildred. I got bored of the romance quickly as well. The fact that ML and FL met ‘coincidentally’ on the market street sounds ridiculous. It’s a very slow paced and mellow story. There are no conflicts other than the fact that FL is broke as a joke. There are many unnecessary events that were created simply to pad time. Slightly disappointing. I was disheartened by the bad translations and how the pages were out of order at the beginning, however it got better so I hope it won’t affect new readers as it did for me. In recent chapters, the quality of the chapters has also greatly downgraded. Wtf happened?

See You In My 19th Life

What? 19 lives is a little excessive. Jieum doesn’t even mention any in-depth story of her past lives. In her 18th life, she falls in love with a boy and gets into a car accident and dies while trying to save this boy. If you’ve lived 18 lives, you’ve probably experienced everything life has to give. That’s why I don’t understand why and how Seoha became that special to her. Is it the power of love or something? The author killed her off too early during the 18th life and left an underdeveloped relationship between Jieum and Seoha. When the car accident happened, it was really anticlimactic and I didn’t feel sad at all. Clearly, the author just wanted to get started on the main story as soon as possible. I find Jieum’s efforts to seduce Seoha to be funny. But if I were Seoha, and someone randomly confessed to me, I would think that person is either a creep or a stalker. When Jieum finally revealed that she was Joowon, I expected it to be satisfying but it was lacking. There are a few holes in this manga and the plot isn’t exactly special. Read on Webtoon.

It Was All You

A good but oddly flawed story? Slight spoilers in this comment. Read this manwha on Webtoon. The plot seems so good but there is just so much going on at the same time, and at times that isn’t a good thing. There are plot twists and nerve-racking cliff hangers at every corner of this story. Somehow, it still doesn’t interest me that much. It’s not shocking like “Woah! What the heck was that?!” It’s more like “Wooow! Ok.” From the beginning, I knew that something was odd when I saw that everyone was out to get Yuri. During the arc where Yuri attempted to kill her ex, I thought it was a load of horseshit. And during Victor’s time with Yuri, he defied several “A.I laws” so that made me suspicious if he was a human or not. So if you really think hard about it, the plot twist was a little predictable. I LOVE Heo Yoojin’s character, finally a true villain whose evil without some sort of tragic backstory behind their actions! I hope she shocks me even more with her antics. Victor and Yuri’s relationship is quite.. meh. I know that they have been through a lot together, but due to the fact that he was introduced as an A.I, I can’t feel the deep connection between them. The art is quite bland and sometimes the characters seem expressionless. It also lacks details and depth but it’s passable.

Hidden Love: Can

Ongoing | Ju Zhi | 2000 released

Ugh, the age gap between them is disgusting. Apparently, the relationship doesn’t happen until Sang Zhi is grown up but it gives me the impression that the male lead is a pedophile. Pretend your a 50 year old man that romantically likes this 13 year old girl. However, it’s unusual to date someone so young so you wait for her to become the legal age of 18. That’s the vibe that it’s giving me. I was a little more relieved when I heard Jianxu only viewed her as a younger sister but still.. Story is bland as fuck. Jianxu’s only personality is being handsome. Sang Zhi is so annoying as well, I hate her. Give me back my time, this is bullshit.

On Why She Chose Death

Bleak ending. The plot twist was weak. However, this is an interesting concept that is hard to execute.

My Wife Whom I Loved Dearly

Beautifully tragic. The wife treated her husband badly so that he could let go of her easily. Actually, this type of story has been lingering in my mind and I finally found something like it. I’ve been into one-shots recently because they aren’t a huge waste of time.

Ao Haru Ride

Futaba is really naive and I find her to be annoying. Luckily she does have character development later on in the story. Kou is essentially that emotionless, intelligent, handsome, respectful, and popular boy that basically everyone likes. Both characters are generic without many special personality traits. This is a very boring love story. I understand that Kou was trying to cope with his mother’s death but if I were Futaba, I would’ve never gotten back with him. It’s really nothing special. I don’t understand what all the hype is about, I feel like I wasted my time.
