apopoi's manga / #Drama(191)

The art is cute, the story is...lacking but it has an interesting premise. The FL is for now a cardboard character, which I feel is the most unfortunate since the story isn't the most engaging so having a charismatic protagonist would really propel the reading experience to the next level. This is clearly satire and I'm sure this will be a breath of fresh air for people tired of this trope but I am not the target demographic for this so I'm not feeling it.

This is actually so good. I'm surprised.. I didn't think I would take a liking to this. I like how social the uke is and I like how despite everything, the seme is wrapped around his finger. I like how he prioritise communication over all things so we don't get that annoying misunderstanding trope. What else? I like how intertwined the two lives are cuz let's be honest, this is his past life or some parallel timeline shit. I hope more stuff come out to make this story interesting. Also the consistency of the characters are a nice touch as well. Another thing I like is the ML acts his age, his immaturity and simple way of thinking aligns with his 'true self' and doesn't feel out of place.

Oooh this is interesting. I like them! I actually like the characters! I mean sure the top is creepy and ominous and seems unstable but he's so interesting and I feel so emotionally connected to him already. I also like how cool the MC (Hoyoung) is, it's been a while since I read a chill MC. What more? Who are the other tops!? I have to know! Is it Kyungsoo? Who is it? That drummer guy also seems to like the MC too. Mmhhh this is interesting! How did the designer guy know MC? The MC also found him familiar so how does all these tie in?

I agree with the comments, this is very bland. The plot is...there, there are characters but what do they do? They exist. I do like the character designs but they feel stiff and also they don't feel engaging. The surroundings, the motivations behind their actions, the revenge etc feel very doll-like.. Mannequin esque. I do like the assassin twins, particularly the one obsessed with Jing. Mhhhmm... If I were Jing I know for sure that I would regret saving this bitch cuz what the fuck?! I mean at least he's self aware about it, returning kindness for malice.. Something something.. He said something along those lines. I actually like that I can feel their age gap, how he acts like a child around him although he's the boss of the most influential and feared underground organization.

I read upto 4 chapters then skipped to chapter 37 or 38 to the most recent one chapter 42. I still think I got the gist of it tho, I like the MC and ML. I love the way they sort through their feelings and worries, it is a bit dramatic but I wouldn't expect anything else from this type of manhwa. People felt bad for the owner of the body that MC possess but I skipped through so much so I don't really feel for him. I don't know his story so... I do know that he's abused tho and that he has frequent hookups with men. What I also like is that the ML still calls his 'hyung', I do like that aspect of it.

There is only one chapter on this website but officially on Webtoon there are 41 chapters currently and I have read upto 40. My thoughts on it? Beautiful art style, interesting lore, unhinged characters etc.. I feel that some aspects that makes this story original are left underutilized and we keep going around in circles, leaving so many plot points behind in order to pursue what's popping at the moment. I was hooked from the first chapter feeling that I have found another treasure only to feel disappointment at how the author treats their work. Things didn't go the way I expected, the parts I found refreshing and intriguing were left to rot only to give importance to some mundane things. After the nine tailed fox was introduced, it split a lot of fans and before solidifying itself, so many of its audience left cause they felt disgusted or betrayed. Leaving the borderline incest stuff as it is, the story isn't progressing.. Right now forty chapters in I expected to get some answers but the story is halted for some beauty shots and some splash of comedy with a pinch of action scenes that are there just for the sake of it (or perhaps to showcase the cool side of the characters so that we could gush over the MC). The MC is complex, she is very unhinged, she doesn't have a moral compass and she is very vengeful holding a 1000 worth of grudge destroying herself over it. She isn't just a celestial mage, she is the one in charge of the birth, death and rebirth of the humans so without her the human realm is in jeopardy. Cool so there are stakes to this.. And? I feel like stuff are said but we don't see the effect of it, where are the consequences?! The fact that the ML isn't the Woodcutter is a nice misdirect, I'll give it that. I want to see the ML backstory.. We want to know more. It's fine and dandy that things aren't vomited out and we have to think for ourselves and come to our own conclusions but the author has been dangling this in front of us and forty chapters in? I'm not even interested anymore, it would be fine if the characters were engaging enough and the cast has more meat to them but it feels draining. I keep checking how many chapters there are left and although the art style is pretty, that's not enough.

It's so so. The translation is horrible. The characters are very one dimensional. The comedy isn't hitting at all. It's filled with stereotypes, it plays into that obviously but since the translation is so horrible, it just feels tiring to read.

This is actually super interesting. I couldn't get into it innitially but it just sucks u in. I like the MC a lot, I also like the og ML. Flame is a bit of a boring character but I do like the og FL. I like the villainess as well. I also like the professor. Although this concept is very common, it executes it perfectly. I like the examination, the way the classes are divided and the deal with the three questions. I despise MCs who try to take everything easy so it's nice to see an MC who is very passionate and mature. I like that he also doesn't have any biases. I look forward to the interactions between him and the main characters. Jeremy is the only one he hasn't interacted with yet, right?

Another transmigration into a novel story. This time too possessing a villainess body. She is for sure misunderstood, she clearly loves the Emperor and with their history together, there has to be more to the story. The deal with his mother I'm not sure but maybe it has something to do with the Emoress Dowager. It was nice to see that the Duchess was the real power all along but even that can be questioned. The art style is nice, the plot is sub par. I hate this thing they keep doing with the Emperor and Ethan literally butting heads over the MC, the sudden switch of Ethan though understandable to some extent is too overplayed. He is still the Emperor after all. Also another complaint I have for this genre is regarding the accuracy of the novel that they read before they came into this world, like why does it miss out so many important information. I'd get it if it were minor but this is some pretty big stuff. Moreover thr fact that in the novel she was executed by the Emperor because she begged him to reconsider spending money on building a greenhouse for the og FL since they were on a tight budget makes no sense. I hope they give a satisfying reason for that.

This was a nice change. I get what they were going for with the art style but I feel like it hinders the reading experience. Especially the MC why does she look so awkward.. It's the hairstyle, the dress she wears, the colors and her body proportions. Like it's so weird.. She is one powerful being. So essentially she is like an omnipotent being, it's nice that this isn't inside a novel or reincarnation for a change. Her soul is split into two, one in modern Korea as someone who can see the future and the other in this world where she's a mage. She feels responsible for the people in this world because their suffering is a product of a novel she wrote on a whim. Her friend is very irresponsible but I don't blame her, I'm sure she's happy with her hubby and her new daughter. The three princes and the competition for the throne per usual is filled with drama engulfing the whole empire into their mess. Why does the Emperor favor the First Prince so much? Is he the only biological child of the woman he loves? Did she pass away? The third Prince's illegitimate child and Claude look so alike I started questioning everything but it's just the art style. Too many blondes. The curse is also interesting. The MC is a lot more emotional than I expected when I first read this. I thought she would be more cold, mature, wise and be like more put together. The ML is a nice choice. I was genuinely surprised that he had manners and didn't have a scowl on his face. Of course that's because she's a mage and her reputation but nevertheless. Her position in the Mage Tower is also very high. Out of her disciples, the green haired one is my fav..the other two are so so. It reminded me of 'Charlotte and the Five Disciples', how they are so dependent on their Master. I guess that's it for now.
