Cheerful Countess Sisters

Ongoing | 랍스타,자미신 | 2000 released

Love the sister duo..they are strong in totally different ways..love the variety in their physical appearance..I mean they are half-sisters but I love that the other is the traditional European beauty with pale skin, blonde hair and demure face while the other is more modern with tan skin, nice body, and strong features. A good read..so wholesome;)

Ewwww!!! I know it's not incest but it technically is!! Think about it..she is the splitting image of his sister and he harbours romantic feelings towards her..and her too? Missy u r an adult why u putting so much pressure on your brother was my first complaint..didn't think incest would be the thing that made me drop this manhwa..after the time skip when they saw eachother, when the wind blew their hair and flower petals could be seen and their faces grew red..I was like Oh fuck..

Infinite Mage

Ongoing | | 2019 released

The start hooked me right in and I read through the chapters in a flash. Then, it felt like the author started losing their vision for the manhwa, because sometimes things felt so cliche. When they were talking about friends and family, the way the subject matter was approached felt so childish and without a strong foundation like the bald guy from 'Fast and Furious' kept saying 'For Family' or some shit like that. I liked the ML when he was a child and I still like him for his thirst for knowledge. Ofcourse he's OP but it felt like watching someone who was truly passionate and would do anything and everything for magic YET the story started falling flat after a great start. His friendship with Rian although cute felt so cliche and inorganic. The way he was willing to die because they are friends, and the way his whole family sentenced him for execution over that silly thing felt like a necessity for the plot and not for the flow of the story. It just feels like this is something that is scripted, rather than a living and breathing world. His interaction with the Headmaster was my favourite. It felt like a genius recognising a genius. Their interaction, I wanted to absorb and memorize every moment of it. The FL is the tsundere redhead, the same one that traumatized the ML. Her thinking pattern was so anime-like that I felt like ripping all my hair off. If she just apologised instead of making all those mundane threats and made him give her coffee every morning to make it seem like (to the public) that he has feelings for her so when she inevitably rejects him, his words would fall on deaf ears. The logic is not reasonable. Instead of this roundabout way of doing things, just apologize. He isn't the type to spread rumours, she is the one who is spreading this like wildfire from her unnecessary actions. Also him going over to the place the 'kidnappers' abducted(supposedly) the MC was so... Ofcourse she got into trouble because of some boys who couldn't handle rejection. They used anti-magic so she couldn't defend herself, then the MC appears and by making his spirt zone more solid, he was able to deflect it. Then the teachers appeared as per the MC's request to the redhead's friend then they calmed the situation down(not sure how to put it). Then they regret, even tho they attempted murder. Sure we will gloss past that. But I hope that there would be character growth for the fl but she made things worse, saying that he is her boyfriend so that they won't pry into their business and find out about their secrets. I thought she had a moment of realisation when she was truly in danger, that she thought 'Is this how he felt then?'

Return of the Frozen Player

Ongoing | 제리엠,실실 | 2000 released

I like this. If I could give it a 4.5, I would. I like Junho and his sense of justice. Whenever I hear the word justice, Ii immediately get a bad feeling since I'm a One Piece fan. I love love loove the Frost Queen, she's such a mood. I love her dynamic with Specter as well, her being a director and editor was chef's kiss. I was worried that the archmage was gonna be a love interest ngl but I'm glad it didn't go in that direction. I like that the five heroes are revered but that they are also falling behind since they were stuck for 25 years. I don't know about the other two, but the girl seems to have one shady family. I like that the Dokkaebi Guildmaster holds the MC in such high regards but ultimately he got fooled by the MC. I like the Sword Saint, he's a kind person. What else? I like the Dokkaebi princess, she's cute. She's such a huge fan of Specter as well. The fiends are nasty, but I don't find them intimidating.. I'm just reading this for the characters at this point. Currently at Ch140. The sharp shooter Gilbert and his son was also very touching. I love how much Arthur admires and looks upto Specter as well. Side tangent- I love how Specter sneaks in the ice rocks in the snacks he gives the frost queen. I love their bond. When he spoke up for her when Gilberto was giving her mad heat (rightfully so tbh).. My heart swelled.

The Dark Magician Transmigrates After 66666 Years

Ongoing | TDMTA6Y | 2019 released

I quite like this. It's not groundbreaking but it has everything to hook you in. I like Jamie, he fits my expections for an MC. I like that he sees his love's reincarnation as just a reincarnation. I like that perspective. "She is a kid", he says... I like his wholesome and affectionate family. I wonder how his lil sis will grow up. To be honest... The earlier chapters were better... I feel like it lost steam around the 100 chapter mark. The 12 gods are despicable for sure but it went in the direction I was least expecting. I was thinking they'd be more subtle but they are downright committing massacre left and right. I am most curious about 'Ra'... He seems very mysterious. Also the bit about Jamie, that he might not be complete since his og body is still in that darkness thing. The Lan thing intrigued me at first sight but it didn't manage to keep my interest. People taking the DNa from the queen and blossoming into a flower from a seed was interesting... I forgot the name of that race though. Though I do like Jamie's dad, the way Sears immediately cut ties with the childhood friend lacked emotional depth I feel, there was no conflict. It was a waste honestly. Ch145.

Heavenly Grand Archive’s Young Master

Ongoing | | 2022 released

I like it...It's very different from Mount Hua Sect (Return of the Blossoming Blade) but I think I prefer this. I like the way the MC sees them all as kids, especially how he looks at his niece. It's so sweet and so apparent that everyone knows about it. I thought she would be a great martial artist but apparently not. The villains showing up one after the other only be dealt with so easily is always a funny scene. I like the squad, they're all so crazy that it's perfect , ngl I do feel bad for the new recruit or maybe he's a trainee atp. I also love that he's so sure of his identity, that he's Hu gong, no one else. That's actually one of my gripes with this type of reincarnation or taking on another's body bs, they leave behind who they once were and are not referred in that way anymore. Like Huh? Kim Rok Soo I'm looking at you! I like him and the ice lady, they make a cute couple, she's so ladylike yet surprisingly bold...her saying 'That's disappointing' after he said he won't eat her when she misunderstood him calling her to his room is chef's kiss. I love love love it! Though we don't see them as often, I miss his younger brothers. Also I wonder when we'll touch on how they transferred bodies and who did it? We already see just how OP he is..so how? Also what's the deal with the og first master and him wanting to die, the reason seems a bit too simple. He didn't seem surprised when he woke up in Hu Gong's body as well.
