Meridian's manga / #Modern(37)

Pretty short read, so the plot doesn't have much to develop. A simple and straightforward CEO/secretary romance with a splash of cute kid moments.

Pretty typical accidental pregnancy storyline, most of the plot consists of the MC being unable to accept her feelings and trying to get through that. The antagonist setup was painfully obvious, our villainess was pretty much a throwaway doll for development with all the personality she had. It can definitely get frustrating at the beginning because the MC pretty much just goes through a bunch of events and reacts with 'oh no, but I can't because I'm so sure it'll turn out badly' every single time. I do like their relationship later on, though, so it wasn't bad in the end.

So so cute in the beginning and takes a turn for the smut after the first season. Great relationship and amazing smut scenes in general. The only thing was that as much as I love yandere's there were several moments that pulled me out of the story as I asked myself... Is this a little too toxic? Even though I say that I adored the ML's obsessive behavior and very, very well-drawn expressions. I live for the faces yandere's make behind their partner's back and this one was *chefs kiss*. In the end ML was decently self-aware of most times he became toxic and reigned it in, so I was able to enjoy it!

Not much plot, just pretty good smut with nice art. Nothing fancy but the author did throw in an age gap that was handled very maturely. I'm normally pretty iffy with age gaps but I appreciated what the MC did to make sure everyone was making the most informed decisions.

The art gets absolutely gorgeous, like I'm drooling over several characters and taking screenshots. The storyline was super straightforward yet still interesting! Anyways, it was a pretty great short read.

Good smut mixed with some misunderstandings for plot.

I love the character development and role reversal as they grow into themselves. The abuse at the beginning was hard to read and gave Killing Stalking vibes but watching them both heal from their trauma made it worth it. Also, it was interesting to see the point of view of the abuser and realize that if he hadn't been traumatized himself he could have had a loving relationship with MC. You still hate him and he's a sick bastard but you feel pity for what could have been.

Short and cute, ML reads minds and MC is stone-faced but has absolutely adorable racing thoughts. Fluffy short story.

I was worried it was gonna be toxic but the end was super cute, especially the secondary couple. I'm also not normally a fan of love triangles but this was one of the only times I wanted them to all be together as a throuple. Best of all, the author acknowledged that if you meet someone like ML in real life he's trash and you should absolutely not be in a relationship with him lmaoooo. Even though he was definitely trash, the redeeming arc was pretty good and he genuinely reformed himself which was great!

This was so so cute!! The main couple was absolutely adorable and the entire premise was so wacky that it shouldn't work, but amazingly it did. Even better, it was explained pretty well! It changed the genre to supernatural but it worked and only made it funnier. Such an unexpectedly good read.
