Beneath the Surviving Princess Joyful Facade
This is saurr good. I love how the MC can stay so strong in such an impossibly hard situation. One thing I'll commend this on is the realistic way that the princess is strong, it's not in the realm of absurdity but in the way her situation allows her to. She practices the things she hears people say when she's sure everyone is asleep.. She can't speak clearly and has trouble constructing sentences. She doesn't have any manners since she wasn't taught, her hands shake when trying to use cutlaries to eat her food since she uses her bare hands. She tiptoes around everyone. She doesn't have common sense and doesn't get embarrassed when she's naked or talking about consummating their marriage. The tyrant is also an interesting case, it seems the incident a few or so years ago made him the way he is. Of course the incident is shrouded in mystery and only the king and the princess and that one guy knows about it. The ML is a green forest. I love how he doesn't take out his anger on the princess and how responsible he is, how patient he is and the way he is so gentle towards her. He also told his mother right away when he found out about his father cheating on her. About the couple, the father is a brute who has no political sense and neglects his duties so the ML has to shoulder everything himself. Not to mention how he cheats on his wife and made his knight(?) take in his mistress as his second wife so he can meet her regularly. Their marriage had always been purely business but after the ML's younger sister died, they became estranged. About the younger sister Rosie, it seems she's the reason why the Mother is so taken with the princess. She's seeing Rosie in the princess since they have the same coloured eyes and since Rosie died as a child, the princess' behavior mirrors that so she feels protective over her. I hate the two maids to the core, can't they die already?
Exclusive maid of the evil empress
I actually really like this. It's not the best but it's nice to read. I like the MC so that's a bonus for me. I like how she is so patient with the Empress and puts her duty above everything else. I also like how she argues with people using cold hard facts, maybe it has to do with how she was raised in Dumanis. I also like her dynamic with the crown prince strangely enough, it's way too fast but it doesn't grate on my nerves. The Duchess and the former Empress sisterhood was also very interesting to see, I like that the Duchess cares more about her than her brother, cuz it would be hard to be close to someone who is the heir. I don't like her logic that the crown prince should have been aborted but I get where she's coming from. Especially when she shut the Emperor up when she asked him if it were the current Empress would he have made the same decision? Also love the crown princess and how she treasures the MC, it's a complicated situation for sure but the fact that for knights their duty is their life so it makes sense. What doesn't make any sense is the way I worded it haha... The spirit princess was super cute as well. She is an ice breaker for sure. I wish we saw the Empress' children much earlier but I'm glad we can see them now. I felt so proud when the empress said she wanted to get a divorce and stood her ground. The way the Emperor just kept on telling her to endure and not overreact made me want to rip all my hair out. Endure, tolerate it, be the bigger person yada yada. I wonder if the Viscount/count will get together with the Empress.. Although he is sketchy and collaborated with the Duchess, his priority is still her so..
hotaru no yomeiri
This is superb. I like Goto, I like Kotaro, I like Asagiri, I like Kotoko. That panel where she looks at her sister and friends playing outside with envy while she's indoors surrounded by musical instruments..and in contrast she now has a full blown smile on her face as she plays it.. Gah! My heart. I like the second couple.. Though Asagiri irked me a lot at first, seeing those markings/brandings all over her body gave me such a shock. I hate perverts..sick men in power bored with life finding pleasure in tormenting others with their sick needs and fantasies. Kotoko is a strong woman, I admire her tenacity and as a woman or girl (she's only sixteen) she thinks marriage is the only way she can be of use and not be a burden to her family. Her step mother and sister are the typical evil stereotypes..it's not surprising that the step mother was the one who orchestrated the kidnapping and ordered for her to be raped so she would lose her chastity and be unfit for marriage. I liked the first chapter where Kotoko puts her sister in her place.. And when she said what do you have going for you except your appearance? Stellar!! We know Goto is a hitman but he isn't half bad, sure he lacks emotions but he's learning.. He knows how to read the mood. I like his and Kotaro's budding bromance. What more? That fat lady obsessed with love.. When I saw her ominous smile, I thought she would be a lot more evil but I'm glad it didn't take that route. Of course there is a lot of talk no jutsu going on but this is a manga so I expect that going in. This is a flashback so I'm wondering if the female lead was cured of her illness or something.. Whose POV is this? It said I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have.. So Kotoko?
Mary Jane
This is really nice. I like the doctor, I like MJ and I am very curious about 'Father'. I assume Father is the doctor that the MC's senior met. This obsession is very intriguing in how it plays out, the Father's and MJ's obsession with the MC is so different that it creates such a nice contrast. I personally really dislike Crack and the sniper girl. They were just so annoying ugh.. About the MC's ex wife and his child.. I wish some more light would be shed on that. Especially the child, it would be nice to see their bond. Of course the doctor's busy so they won't have spent much time together but regardless. I like that we see how unstable MJ is and how the doctor works around that. It took me a while to get used to the art style thou, especially the doctor's character design. It was so still and felt so rigid for me.
Royal Marriage (2024)
This is so stinking cute!! OMG I loveeeee it! I like Eunri, I like the ML.. I just know her sweet life is gonna be turned upside down since she has that scar on her pretty face. What happened to her family? And why is she his second wife? I'm sure he only loves her but still.. Palace customs can kiss my ass.. I love the ML being so silent, caring and I live for his long hair. I love that she refers to him as 'brother with pretty eyelashes' and how she says 'you'll forget about me soon because of ladies with pretty eyelashes.. ' so cute! The scene where she slapped the merchant back after he slapped the ML? Chef's kiss
My Father Is the Enemy of My Past Life?
I hate the art style. I hate the MC immature ass, the plot is not plotting. The artist doesn't know how to draw a child at all. Because what is this disgusting shit!? The Royal family, the Halyas etc everything bores me.. I wanna see a flashback of the Duke and the MC's parents.. That would be cool. Especially because of the story that the Nanny told to the MC. The one shot for this was spectacular but of course we get this dogshit instead. Life is hard. The story isn't decent either so it's not too much of a shame but nevertheless. I can't believe my sister recommended this to me of all things. At Ch20.
My Obsessive Father's Heroic Homecoming
I like the ML. I thought I would take the FL's side but that wasn't the case. Deciding things for her daughter and her bitch of a mother telling her to repay the doctor is deplorable. I hate her mom so much, bitch stay dead why you telling your daughter to be grateful and repay the doctor.. You're the reason she's in this dilemma in the first place, how ungrateful. Also I hate how demure she is but the manhwa is tryna fool us into thinking she's a resolute woman who can manage herself. Ugh.. How I hate when she says she can manage herself. Bitch you can't and how dumb do you have to be to go to the book keeper even after everything. The second male lead is genuinely so kind so I don't think I'll continue this again. I'll just end up feeling bad for him, tbh I feel bad for him even now. I wish she did this out of her feelings for him but she's still in love with ML but doing this just because she is indebted to him. Reminds me of the setting for 'Selfish Love'.. Currently at Ch20.
How To Reject My Obsessive Ex-Husband
This feels very all over the place. It's clear as day that Irene still has feelings for Ciel and she knows it, but her new found self respect won't allow her to act on it. Considering the ML did a 180 after his first life. I don't get the God or the system.. I don't know why they gave the fake priestess the ability to go back etc etc.. She gets such a helping hand especially with the phone and all. Ciel gives me mixed feelings.. Obviously he is pining for Irene but the way he does so and his complete lack of tact makes me shake my head. The bonding is the oldest trick in the book. I don't get how people are still confused on who she will end up with. I hate that this somehow feels like a reverse harem almost.. Like the way the younger brother and the physical esper already likes her.. It makes me feel iffy. The crown prince seems pretty bent on the fake priestess tho so that's funny. The ahegao in this is top tier
In the Doghouse
Why am I eating this shit up? I'm sooo enjoying this.. I don't even recognize myself. What is life? I am so curious how the prince became so obsessed with her.. I'm sure we'll find out but man I'm so excited! Of course she makes a spectacle of herself everytime she's with her family because of their bullshit. He knows the ins and outs of their household.. And I love the dead eyes/empty yet strangely alluring eyes he has everytime he looks at Courtney. He seems to be testing her.. He's so dom in the way he's so sub.. I love it! This is mad! I have seen my fair share of kinks but this tops everything! It may have awakened something in me. PS I hate her family.. Her dumb father, her mother who thinks money grows on trees and is totally oblivious to their financial issues, her elder brother who keeps drowning them in debt, even selling her in the process, her crybaby sister in law who gives Karen from 'Mean Girls' a run for her money. Like what the fuck!! I love iove love her nephew tho.. He's all that's good in the world..
