A Stepmother's Märchen

Ongoing | orka | 2019 released

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..

Will binge it later as I'm not caught up yet Update: I am caught up. I even read the side stories and everything~. At chapter 104, it ends and although it's a stereotypical romance historical manhwa that follows all the cliches with corny lines and a simple plot, it is nice to read. The MC cries a lot, the ML's personality goes through an 180 and the MC doesn't really go through anything, there's no development it's the same throughout. There is no drama, the threat level is almost comical but I don't dislike it.

Miss Not-So Sidekick

Ongoing | Ellianyang,Yumyum | 2000 released

Lottie is my spirit animal...she is so funny and witty...love the gags and parodies in the series...the one piece reference cracked me up as well as her winning the most ridiculous storytelling award for that story she made up..felt like a TV novela...It does not take itself too seriously which I love..The moment mc had the realisation that she is indeed in a living breathing world instead of a novel is done so splendidly(she almost died)...she had been cruising through her life in this world without taking things seriously so that was a great moment...I also love that the story points out the flaw in how the ML(s) fell for og mc when it doesn't make any logical sense..and how it points out the psychology of og mc who believes genuinely she deserves the love of everything and everyone without lifting a finger and trying to be the lead in other people's story..the side ml falling out of love for the og mc is such an iconic moment...I also love the ml...who wouldn't? (If u are tryna reread, start from ch117, that's from Arwin's POV and it's hella entertaining)

Untouchable Lady

Ongoing | Kin,Minsoong,Yongdusik | 2021 released

Love how the MC doesn't put up with shit...Violence is the answer and she knows it..Took her nine lives to figure it out but hey she is a slow learner but she learns!! Hate her dad... despise her brother...how is an adopted spoiled brat worth this wonderful being that is the mc...the ml seems to be a good match...mc no longer gives second chances...you fuck up you done...the story is okay..but the frustration building up from other MCs is giving me a newfound appreciation and respect towards her...All hail this Goddess!!
