I remember seeing this a few years back...on Wattpad and some other sites..never thought it would get adapted...man why do authors do this...I want it to make sense and flow well not just cuz the plot needs it to be...mc just keeps on going back on her words..wanting to live a normal life yet doing everything to prohibit that type of living...lots of drama...a potential siscon(?)...I feel bad for the warden...I want her to end up with him.... unrequited love truly suck. Innit?

When they introduced the childhood friend who is too good for the mc who loved her since they were children showed up...yeah I dropped it..it was never great or good just mediocre and besides I never really had other things to read so I just kept scrolling turning the pages until that plotline was introduced and nah I wasn't a fan of it..it is filled to the brim with enough cliches already..why add more? The worst one too in my esteemed opinion...n the art, the mc n the ml as well as the sister, the father, the character introduction, the plotholes..it was far too great n that was my last straw so I yeeted myself out..like byeeee

An author who got put into her own story or did she put herself? I don't remember the details..I read it a long time ago...I loved it, I thought it was so original n funny n underrated..well color me shocked when I found it was like the most common cliques..I feel so used...enough with the dramatics..so technology+ her being a scientist or engineer + an author who got stuck in her story..like SAO shit but something happened n she cannot escape.. unfortunately for her , the world she created was so fucked up with slaves mirroring the reality of the world we live in..she suffered..she met the ml, is in love with her creation like she created the perfect man for herself then meets him in the flesh..finds out it is a living breathing world ya know n feels responsible n whatnot..by the way she crossdress since we r in medieval time..sexism was quite strong, ya know? So she cut her hair n her boobs were practically non-existent anyway so n her voice was pretty low for a girl..she was told she sounded like a man on the phone by her friends/co-workers n if they didn't know better they would be convinced it was a man..low voice gang..RISE UP!!

Say Ah, the Golden Spoon is Entering

Ongoing | 포르토피노,신유성 | 2019 released

My favourite mc n female character by a longshot...she doesn't have many rivals both in my heart as well as in the webtoon world..I just want to say 'you are the star in the universe miss adelaide'..moreover, Killian is unexpectedly a good ml..a surprise..I thought he would be the cardboard perfect ml u see when there is a good mc..mc is so logical and able to stop herself from being emotional in her decisions, something I cannot say for most mc's..her only rival off the top of my head is the mc from 'matriarch of the family'.... WOW Update (27/12/22) : I guess you have to read it in succession to get into the flow and can't just pick up where you left off. The translation issue is becoming more prominent and seems to get in the way of my enjoyment of the story, which is a shame because I genuinely like it. The ml is the crown prince as it turns out, he left his riches and status behind it seems and his younger brother is searching for him with the help of the daughter of a duke in the capital. She is an adopted child and also has a name that seems to be of Korean lineage so maybe a reincarnation..possibly? She seems clever to be able to make her family rise in just three years time since her appearance so kudos to her. Also I think she doesn't want the crown prince to reclaim his position and is subtly telling the younger bro to take the position. Maybe she isn't giving him the full info. Maybe aiming to be the Empress or Queen?

The Baby Isn't Yours

Ongoing | 아롱드리,arongdri,Sin | 2019 released

This story has been on my radar for so long...u have no idea ugh..anyway the prologue is a gifted commoner child saves the son of a duke from hostages/kidnapping..she is rewarded..she has talent in sword and is strong so she was sponsored then became a hero of war alongwith Simon (the ml) who is the archmage..a power couple!!!..they r best friends but crossed the limit due to heavy drinking (?) but is actually because of a scroll when teared makes your body heat up and ooh la la..but one condition - they have to be in love with one another..after being taunted by ml..she just teared it then her body starts to heat up, she keeps looking at his lips but ml is not affected cuz he a fucking wizard..yuh..but they fucked then one night stand..viola a baby..an op one..she always wanted a family n never felt like she belonged in the Duke's family cuz classism?? Then decides to keep it a secret n tries to retire cuz ml's mum a bitch (an elf) so she looks young..always in the centre of attention..but is convinced by the crown prince aka her friend alongwith Simon to only make it a kind of vacation n that she'll return..so she looks for confirmation to ml asking if he still hates children and he's like dead faced yeah so she leaves..he planned to propose but wizard duties so after a week..during that time she left..Simon becomes crazy and hunts her down but to no avail..he even says he will tie her up when he finds her so she cannot leave his side EVER again..ummm Sir??..Currently nine months pregnant in Ch 26..and that's it... Mc is so strong and logical but has emotions too as well as social, her humour is also on point!! She is by far the star of the show!! Also lovee that she has scars on her hands ya know somewhere that's clearly visible n it makes sense cuz she a swordsman so her hands are coarse from all that training..even during chibi scenes that detail is not missed and I applaud the writer??the artist?? Ml is the typical psycho, talented, obsessed with mc, she is his only source of happiness and joy (his own words), a yandere who is soft only for mc, only realised his feelings later but is obvious it seems from his narrative?? Anyway he said to his subjects? fellow wizard men?? That they all look like rocks except for mc so?? The art style is super interesting n it's different from the promo..but not too far off..bit I digress since promos need to be the best quality to urge people to read the novel y'know??

It Was a Mistake, Grand Duke!

This feels like a fever dream..umm the mc is like worryingly dumb... she's a dunce..She's clumsy and trips on everything..she wears her emotions on her sleeve so anyone can just tell what she is thinking by her face..she falls in love easily..she fell in love with The Grand Duke, the ml, at first sight..and her rooms are filled with portraits, pictures of him..she even has a body pillow..her comments about him are so creepy..his scent?? She wrote a fanfiction of him.. ofcourse she did..I can picture her as a delusional k-pop fan who feeds into the whole saesang culture..it is about mlxher..so it's y/n fanfic..The ml knows her identity by picking up a volume of the book she published...yes it's a series..and he asked to put it nicely to the noble ladies who dropped it and had a conversation about 'vivibunny'..her alias or penname..yes she is dumb so she used her name Vivian and bunny cuz that's what she is..a bunny..super nice and clueless and innocent and pure and dumb and stupid..he comes across her while investigating about the identity of the anonymous writer in a bookshelf..a dusty and poorly managed library..she just gave them a new volume and yeah she also does not do a good job of blending in..as she wears high quality clothes, trimmed nails with clear polish, her hair and penmanship gave her status as a noble away..she is the daughter of a count btw but there is still a huge disparity between his status n her still..he finds her cute and is interested in her cuz even his own subjects see him as a monster and the only thing they praise about him is his swordsmanship..When the mc was 16 he was in his 20's I believe so he waited for her for five years until she reached the age of 21..so red flags there..some comments also gave warnings about this and were uncomfortable by this..as it felt like grooming or predator behaviour? He stalked her too but the difference is their level of skill..his actually felt like stalking while hers felt like fangirling if we think about it... also what made me drop this despite all thatttt was when the mc's family warned her about him as they think he is investigating them by seducing her cuz in their eyes crown prince meddled with the orb of mc's bestfriend, a dark mage so he associate their family with the prince who is a bit of an enemy with the duke..but mc is like I know that but I still can't leave without telling him anything while her family's lives are on the line?? Really?? U lovesick stupidass bitch

Sierra

Ongoing | Rana,Moonah | 2019 released

Hmm..read this..love my hard headed mc..the fact that she actually went through with her plan after she returned to the past..splendid..also in her last life when ml killed all those he thought hurt her but included those she loved like the maids and servants and she spewed those words to him..he was so hurt and killed himself..that traumatized mc as well..and their child was saved this time..I'm not a pro-lifer but at least she has her daughter by her side at least...and ml no longer became the emperor in this timeline cuz the mc wasn't there so he had no reason for it..love when I can see the butterfly effect cuz some stories leave that out n are like what's meant to be will happen no matter what..but NO like every action we take changes things..so I like this one a lot

The Villain Discovered My Identity

Ongoing | Cha sohee,Chara | 2020 released

The art isn't the best but I like it as it seems to be at the level the story is at.. moreover the characters are surprisingly complex and full of humanity(?)/emotions which was a contrast to what they appeared to be in the first few chapters..I thought we would follow some tropes, I mean we do but there's some twists on it as well which tickles my reader's heart. Oh and the fl is kind of a bit of an abnormal case for an mc in a female lead story..she is reincarnated in a story she read as a child, tells her younger twin bro, who is destined to die from being the villain's right-hand man, the importance of love as it was a big push on why he turned out the way he did.. unfortunately he chose to leave home to pursue his lover cuz of a reason told later..the ml is the og story's villain but we see things from his pov which I am down for..his childhood was shit and his now secretary is his only friend who stood by him through thick n thin..he feels guilt for lying to mc but feels conflicted as he feels she is someone he needs as mc is quite OP(she was an kendo practitioner of some sorts in her previous life) so that talent transfers to her life now. Also forgot to mention mc cross dress to fill in the spot of her bro as military enlistment is needed for boys at the age of 18 so she took his place..it's quite funny seeing ml's dilemma over his feelings towards mc and starts to question his sexuality..plus his friend's reaction? Top tier *chef's kiss* A quick update...Ch 77 & 78..ahem..kiss scene..so Hot..thank me later

Ml is interested in her..geez who would have seen that one coming?! Not me!!:/

I Became the Tyrant's Secretary

Hmm..I feel like I can read this on a good day..the moment mc caught feelings for ml.. everything went downhill...she can't function properly, gets caught up in her own emotions and yet tries to do everything by the og novel? She is a secretary now and in her past life too..can't escape from your fate luv..so she replaces her now brother's profession to prevent the execution of her and her family's demise over the ml's whims..I think cuz her bro forgot about the plan the ml had with og fl??..hmm what's interesting is og fl knows her past life too and is a bit of a cuckoo herself..getting jealous over her own child..maybe I have double standards but I wouldn't flinch an eye if the ml had this kind of tantrum of sorts but when it comes from a female character..it rubs me the wrong way.. anyways she obsessed with the ml and sees mc as a threat...
