I Was Just Having Fun With The Time Limit

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Well isn't this the most stinking adorable shit ever!?! I like everyone, I wish the dad would be more honest but he's a tsundere so I get it. I like all the brothers too. I like the mom but I wish she was more present. I was pleasantly surprised by her having an actual responsibility rather than just a title. I like that they are so in love. I wish the MC trusted the mage a bit more since she loves her so much. I like the shadow/secretary man too. I like his ruthless and gentle side. I like that the MC's past life ties in with this life.. Like the fact that she had a chronic illness so that's why she is so eerily calm about death and wants to treasure each moment spent with her family. How she gives importance to little things and finds joy in it, like running without feeling pain etc.

Beatrice

Ongoing | ma cherie,cierra | 2019 released

This has gone on for far too long.. I wasn't really crazy about it from the start but atleast I wasn't rolling my eyes the whole time. This could have been wrapped up in fifty chapters or less and it isn't even done although it spans for 110 chapters. There will be a season 4. I find everything ridiculous. The ML isn't a nice man which I don't mind because I've read worse but the fact that he is portrayed to be one in this story irks me. He killed a princess, killed innocents, turned a blind eye to his subordinates indecent behavior all this time but now he suddenly cares. When he thought to himself that he should've killed Leo, that made me once again roll my eyes, he only cares because it's Chloe. And why the fuck is this manhwa called 'Beatrice' when she identifies as Chloe and that's her og name. Now the problem I have with Chloe is her innocence, her kindness, her purity, her willingness to forgive anyone and everyone regardless of what they did to her. First of all, the way she acts.. It's like the author wanted to remind us she is a girl everytime she is on screen so we don't forget.. With the S line, her screaming 'Kyaaaa' whenever she's surprised, her aegyo...even though she is mistaken time and time again as a boy (her haircut and attire plays a part) but it was made worthy of note she doesn't care how others see her..basically like a tomboy. Her telling herself that Allen is a kind man.. Bitch u witnessed him kill the princess, threatened to kill you, the reason you're a slave and heard from the little girl that you serve that he hits women but because you saw him do the bare minimum he is a 'kind man'?!! The ML blames himself for Chloe's current situation as he should but then this pussy is like I'm satisfied with my life blah blah blah..then her heart pounds badum badum out of nowhere.. Probably because of his handsome face and incredible body (eyeroll). Then he becomes Shakespearean.. Talking on and on about how he doesn't want to love in a world without her and whenever she refuses, he gives these puppy eyes and basically love bombs her. This dude love bombed her so hard. This bitch has never been shown affection her whole life and the most 'wonderful' man loves her.. That alone is one thing but hey he is willing to abandon his whole life for you.. Surely you must love him back right!? And the thing I hate the most is that Chloe never acts out of her own agency.. She is being pulled by his current, she gives into him all the time..Also the motherfucking Duke is redeemed!! Whoa how did that happen? Did this dick repent? Uh no! He felt sorry but he still didn't tell Allen about his sister and mother. Knowing his son's wishes to not marry, he pushes it onto him regardless.. Making him go out in the battlefield at a young age.. Oh what else? He had to take time to think about if he should take in Chloe and an adopted child in the family registry. The only way he agreed was not because he became a better man Oh no! It was because she is technically royalty and since she is the only remaining royalty.. She is worthy of being a princess.. Yay.. Also the sister forgives him? What! Of course she did!! After hearing the saintly Chloe talk about forgiving her ex husband.. She forgives the father who abandoned her.. The very one who didn't want her cuz she was a girl and only cared for her brother. Another fun fact is she didn't even cross his mind once! He felt guilty but not enough to do anything about it and don't remind me of that half-assed apology with tears streaming down his face. Now back to Chloe... This bitch read the diary, so she knows what he did but says 'it's been twenty years, that's plenty of time for a person to change'.. Yes girly forgive him. It's not even her place to forgive that man.. Ugh also her holding Allen back from killing Leo? Even after that sexual harassment.. What a saint. The only good thing is the Sadist × masochist ship that sailed.

The World’S Best Engineer

I like it. The pacing is quite fast and it feels like things are happening one after another way too quickly so there is no room to breathe. The MC although very interesting feels very like the typical MC shounen protagonist, he falls under that. So far I have finished fifty-six chapters so far and I like it atm. I wish we got more character moments, heartwarming moments, character interactions, tear jerking scenes, more backstory, etc but I get that this isn't that type of manhwa so I've made my peace with it. It's the type of manhwa that you can pick up anytime and start reading. It just feels redundant for me personally since it's the same format.. Problem arise-MC takes care of it/misunderstanding occurs-MC deals with it/villains arrive-MC knows about it n once again deals with it. I do like the pets he has though. Nothing feels natural or organic but whatever I guess. I like Javier too, he's a nice character. This feels very in the same vein as TCF but more surface level and much less character and plot focus. You just leave your brain behind and just read without thinking about anything. The Queen... She's alright.

Beneath the Surviving Princess Joyful Facade

Ongoing | Amide | 2022 released

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

Ongoing | 해연 | 2022 released

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..

Celeb Lady

Ongoing | | 2022 released

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.

The Closet Fan Princess

It's alright. Just not my type. I like Kylo, his character design and his personality but that's where my compliments end. The art style is so typical, and this girl reminds me of like three other MCs from similar stories like this. Why is her hair so long and her dress so flashy? I do like the competition between the black and the white knights but show the other knights as well, will you? There are two others, one with the mage and one with a bunch of talented people. Spencer doesn't seem to like anyone romantically, not Hazel nor the saint.. I hate that the player dude is starting to like the MC. The plotline where the former Duke and late Empress were each other's first love was intriguing.. I love how much the Emperor spoils the MC because of how much she resembles her mom and Spencer's mom suffering because his dad couldn't let go of his first love and married her only because she looked like his first love. I know this whole thing is about otaku culture and seeing her bias but this is just too much. I don't like how she acts around him and of course he misunderstands her since all she does is get lost in her daydream and she just acts without thinking. This fangirl doesn't live in reality. And the whole seeing herself in Kylo therefore her obsession is so tired.. Leave it be!

Royal Marriage (2024)

Ongoing | | 2022 released

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

I Became The Tyrant's Chambermaid

Ongoing | Joo yeryeong | 2022 released

I like the MC. She's reasonable and has a personality as well. The ML although not having much depth to him outside the stereotypical 'prince who had a horrible childhood' trope is pleasant to read as well. The deal with the grandson of the bookstore, the magical book and the og fl is fascinating to say the least. The Crown Prince's aide/cousin is such an inflexible character that it makes me laugh. He is oddly cute in a way. The third prince is a young boy, the second prince is dumb as hell, the first prince is a slimy motherfucker. There's not much option besides the ml. It's very intriguing that the ML doesn't trust his aide.. I would imagine he's the only one he trusts currently but that isn't the case. The comparison made the MC of the church being akin to a cult rings true to me.

It Was Love at First Sight, Mr. Villain!

Ongoing | 호미 | 2022 released

Yeah no. The MC isn't mc-ing. I don't like this. I hate when writers just randomly assign backgrounds to characters and don't commit to it. This stupid girl is supposed to be a prosecutor yet has only one suspect and doing absolutely nothing. The so-called accomplishments she has shown are sub-par to say the least. The ML isn't the brightest but he's cute so I'll give him that. The art style isn't the best as well. I don't think I'll pick this up again, the spoilers that I have read made me lose hope. The arch duke turns evil and tries to destroy MC since he can't have her?! Seriously.. What in the BS. But I like that the ML's aide was a spy.. That makes sense.
