To deny the route
This is actually really cute but I'm conflicted. On one hand it's good for what it is and that it doesn't try to be different but on the other hand it feels very formulaic and uninspired. The MC annoys me most of the time, he acts and behaves like a literal child. He can't think rationally and his situation on paper is rough, I get it, but the way he reacts and the conclusions he comes to feel strange. I don't know how else to explain it.. I can't connect to the story at all. The ML is probably Illya which I'm surprised about, thought for sure it would be the crown prince but hey.. Another thing I like that although illya is the typical yandere obsessed ML, he actually listens to the MC. That's all for now.
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?
Celeb Lady
This is nice. It lacks depth but reading this for a quick fix certainly makes it a desirable read. I like the MC.. It goes by a bit too fast, the emotional beats of the story, the plot, the turning into a slim and beautiful lady etc etc. I like that the character has a blunt personality so there is no miscommunication and she thinks with her head. I would like to know more about her life as Juliet and the adversities she faced as the top A list star of a country and possibly the world. Her eldest brother just by his description annoys me already. Because of him, because of his enabling of the evil step grandma's abuse.. The MC had to suffer in silent for so long. I hope that this doesn't get swept under the rug and is properly addressed. The thing with the crown prince is cool.. I guess? Also I like that they still haven't met even though this is chap 21. I would have lost interest if the story kept panning to him from the get go. He isn't the main star, our MC is and it should remain that way. The thing with her dad.. He was probably poisoned. I like this new trend of taking a dig at absent and toxic fathers who only care for their wife and forget about their children. Also how does the grandma know about Wishlet. There are some mysteries here and there that I want to get to the bottom of. The aunt and uncle.. I won't even waste my breath on them. Just pea sized villains.
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..
The One Within the Villainess
It's cute. Love the Emi and Remi thing. The fact that Remi is acting like Emi and that attracts everyone to her makes me feel strange. That's not her true self but I get it. Like Angel is legit in love with Emi. The way she acts perfectly captures Emi to a T. She's doing good in her own way. I feel the way that they portrayed the Star girl was a bit lazy, like sleeping around, only liking jewelry and spending so much on her wardrobe, her being dumb and crazy about men.. Most of it screams misogyny to me especially after reading the spoilers that she was raped and SA'd.
I Became A Squirrel Seeking For The Villain
It's just right... They do everything right! Like this is so cute!! I like that the MC and ML are both likeable... I like me a kind ML. I thought he would be like those calculating and weirdly possessive MLs who looks like a flower. But that's not the case... He looks so gentle and beautiful.. I love it. The squirrel plotline.. I didn't think we would explore that.. So the temple has been taking children from the Medest family and experimenting on them giving them the identity of 'divine beasts'. And most of all to people who lacked magic so that they won't be able to undergo a human transformation. I mean it is so blatant that she is the missing second daughter. The Duke will be found soon as well I bet. I like that this manhwa cuts right to the chase.. No BS.. Also the art style is very clean and elegant.
The Maid No Longer Desires her Master
Trash! Utter trash! Hot garbage!!! I hate everyone and everything... At one point I even started losing my mind coz the tile fucking lied to me!! Wtf! Like this should be illegal or something.. Did Colleen Hoover write this trash? This stupid bitch was tortured by the ML's enabling ass sister ever since she was a kid, then fell in love with the man with the bucket hair... Ew like what is that stupid haircut... I want to murder him.. He pat her head I think... And her heart went thump thump... Like bitch.. Ii should have dropped this then... I don't know why I stayed till the end. She even said he was the first person to treat her kindly after her late mother! Gurll I will literally slap you.. What about your friend? The friend who helped you out.. The auntie who gave you an extra food since she knew about your situation.. Like why is this pompous little ass the one to treat you kindly? This bitch was fully aware of the way his fucking spoiled sister tortured you and he did nothing to stop it. He gave you a tiny bite sized chocolate chocolate and you... Ugh... My head hurts... Ket me get this straight.. After the time skip siix years later... He gets even more insufferable... Well geez how is that possible? Um.. Well he found out that his mother cheated and that spoiled brat is his half sister.. Oh wow!!! He was so hurt by that... Entitled ass.. His mother told him to protect her after he becomes a Duke but with the way things were going.. It seemed impossible.. So he decided to create a hot mess.. A pretty one.. So he fucked the stupid dumb MC.. He didn't coerce her... She willingly did it.. And he even called her a plaything, and to meet him every night from that day on.. To warm his bed... Ugh... And this bitch followed his orders since she was soooo in loooove with him.. Like she even asked him at one point about a baby.. And he straight up told her to get out and that there would be no bastard child... This girl had a hurt expression.. Why is this bitch even shocked at this point.. I don't even know.. This girl does not think.. She's just doe eyed standing there without a thought in her head.. So fucking frustrating.. Now when she finds out she's pregnant.. She's excited and plans to leave... So she meets a lovely madam who took care of her who unfortunately lost her husband and daughter.. And took her in.. And get this? The spoiled bitch ordered someone to kill her and bring her eyes and hair as proof.. So the ML saved her.. But she misunderstood it as him hiring someone to kill her.. Let's play dumb like our MC and not shake our heads at her not knowing the voice of the love of her life.. The one she simps over.. The madam died after they went away that very night after she confided in her... The madam had chronic illness btw.. So after her death, this girl is homeless... The empress is searching for her half sister that the dad told her about on his deathbed. She even told the ML and he had this stupid realization but it never got anywhere.. Like whyyy!?? And blah blah blah the knights were giving free bread and the dumbass asked for it but she had to show her hair.. She doesn't care about anything at this point so whatever.. This dumbass is still in love after she thinks he tried to kill her.. I can't even.. Loveless marriage my ass.. This girl proposed marriage to him since she didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Royal Family.. Oh another thing I hate about her.. She is sooo selfless tehehe.. So kind and forgiving that she has no self preservation whatsoever.. Now what happened? She goes back to the ducal house to take care of ML after he saved her from a boar or something.. She was so touched by it.. Like girl get up... Then she saw all her maid mates were fired so she's all sad and shit.. When the head maid told her that they were paid a hefty sum by the young master n they left with a smile on their faces.. She thinks he is so kind and considerate and can't believe such a good person exist.. I wanna throw myself off a cliff.. My brain cells... My poor brain..I can't believe I stuck around till the llatest chapter which is Ch51. PS she forgot her childhood friend who helped her escape.. She didn't write to him even once.. He didn't even cross her mind. Just throwing that out there.
