A Stepmother's Märchen
Love it so much..seems like Nora is the ml..the prince is sus..love her children..love Shuri so much..all in all a good read Update on my thoughts : If I am being picky, and this is totally subjective btw..I don't want there to be any male lead..I know in ch90..we can see a glimpse or hope that Shuri likes Nora based on her reaction to a lady giving Nora her handkerchief and her giving it to him later which he readily accepts. The main plotline of this manhwa which I absolutely adore is the family dynamic, I see Nora as a child. Tho Shuri physical body is nineteen years old, her mental and emotional age is another topic all together so this development I don't necessarily welcome it. I mean seeing old Nora's flashback about his love and devotion to the dead Shuri is cool and all but I wish it would remain that..an unrequited love. It is much more memorable and gives more impact to the story that way. Him calling Shuri "Noona" is super cute tho. Him and Jeremy dynamic is so much like Zoro and Sanji, I live for it. The thing about Elias, I hate how Shuri and the rest of the characters approach the issue. He has an inferiority complex to his bro Jeremy and thinks himself less. With the twins connection and Jeremy and Shuri spending so much time together, ofcourse he is feeling left out. Like the way Shuri unintentionally leaves him out as well as Jeremy's attitude towards him as an older bro not understanding his feelings in the slightest made me feel a bit bitter. Like him and his gambling issue, the way Shuri like yanks him out of his bed with her preconceived ideas questioning him about the prince when he just wanted to find the place where he belonged and he was welcomed there..in the casino. His sister and little bro tattling on him to Shuri and Jeremy respectively although in the long run is good but in the present, is very bad. He must already feel alone and isolated. And the fact that his younger siblings trust a girl who is only 19 years old (as far as they are aware) sets a bad precedence..the way Jeremy was like "I'mma beat some sense into him" when Nora told him about it. Nora's involvement also makes me feel a bit icky too not gonna lie. Shuri sleepwalking problems. Gosh I can't say I hate any characters but even if I hate the characters like the Cardinal, crown prince and the guy who serves the Cardinal with no eyebrows and large eyes that never seems to blink..they are still great characters nonetheless. Shuri although she is trying her best is lacking in so many ways, being blind to Elias' plight, the whole crown prince situation and the mystery surrounding Jeremy's dad..she is not trying to face it head on. Like she just dawdling here and there and she is so fearful and shows too much emotions and is easy to read..Jeremy although being my fav sibling is still so naive and lacks communication with Elias. And Elias, whom I have the biggest soft spot for, not reaching out to his family cuz of his own insecurities and that dream or is it reality where he looked at a portrait of their whole family but...he was not in it...ouch..The twins selling their bro out and tattling although I get it they are young and they think that it is the best thing to do in that situation. Nora is a decent and overall an all rounder I guess..his family treatment of him is deplorable and when he tried to reach out, his dad admonished him and his mom was spineless and he fell in love with Shuri who reached out to him. The crown prince with all the mommy issues in the world..the fact that his late mom whom he has never seen except in portraits looks identical to Shuri..like I get it psychologically but the way he goes about it is so wrong but he is so interesting!! The priest backstory was also so interesting and provided a bit of an insight into who he is and how he functions. The late empress looking like Shuri. I have my eye on that and the way the Emperor looks at her too..hmm..the current Empress is a girlboss..Who did I miss? Oh the Duke(?)..he is so full of mysteries tho I am 93 chapters in..the reason why he chose Shuri and taught her and the way people admired him..I wanna know everything about him..
A False Confession
Dislike the mc...she is very human tho..her emotions and thought process is very akin to people I've met..Cabel deserves better than her tho with that being said..she knows the crown prince is using her but is affected by his actions and words..he knows the right things to say at the right time and knows how to push MC's button..I sigh everytime she blushes when being around crown prince..
Can We Become a Family?
Liked it... decent story..wished it was more consistent in quality...I saw spoilers in the comments and it's a common plot...love the execution tho ..mc is interesting at times...I question her actions sometimes...the characters are so dumb which makes the mc a genius even though she has some common sense and some wits as well as future knowledge tho that doesn't count as her being a genius as she just have the knowledge of her past life...anyway she is smarter than most MCs so kudos to her...the conflicts are so dumb and exaggerated...she is so so childish at time and petty as well...the latter I don't mind...yeah.. that's it
A Kind Goblin's Bird
Not read..a tragic love story?? I'm in!!
The Viridescent Crown
Hmm..This story is very confusing to me...I get what they are trying to do..I wish mc would be more careful around ml..she knows ml to some extent...ml spies on her yet mc thinks what she does is secret..she is smart when the plot needs her to be...other times she just exists
Even Though I’m the Villainess, I’ll Become the Heroine!
I know I've read it already yet I fail in remembering anything..that tells me everything..I have a pretty decent memory so it proves it did not stand out..so only one star seems plausible
The Villainess is a Marionette
The most basic story so far...very messy..read 10+ chapters and I already know how everything is going to turn out...very cliche..quite idiotic interpretation of the villainess trope,rushed and pacing was weird, the motivation behind the characters are unclear Read is a strong word..just saw it here and there while my sis was reading it..nothing stood out to me but my sis was oddly interested in this to the point that she attempted to read the novel as well..and I saw heaps of praise from this so it is possible that it had a bad start then got progressively better.
Into the light once again
So much potential...what a shame..truly...the synopsis does an incredible job...I even attempted to read this in Wattpad with trashy translations...but it flopped unfortunately...RIP I see from almost everyone in the comment section, they are not happy with the fact that the mc is reborn as a fair girl with silver hair instead of her og colours that people mocked her for. Like that doesn't bother me at all cuz she was never tan or black or whatever so..I mean
The Invicible Princess Is Bored Again Today
So fucking cliche but will I still read it? Yes...yes I willl
