The Novel’s Extra (2022)

Ongoing | jee gab song (지갑송),carrotoon (캐롯툰) | 2019 released

Saw it in a YouTube short and a scene caught my eyes..it was hilarious..an MC who struggles with social cues are fun to read. It wasn't as comedy driven as I expected it to but it still holds up to my standards. The MC being an adult views the characters he writes (high-schoolers) differently since he already went through a lot and the way they bully people and needlessly pick fights are something he doesn't spent any time worrying about. I like how blunt he is..like I know the og ML Suho is hopelessly positive and has a mindset of 'Never give up' but he thinks differently. Like in the case of Nayun who is adamant on using a bow even while it's not the weapon that suits her the most, Suho encourages her to never give up and comforts her. Which the author knows btw but he meddles in it since he knows that Nayun won't reach her full potential clinging to that bow of hers. So he intercepts their interaction, and before Suho could comfort her which led to her catching feelings for him, he straight up says "I saw your match. See I told you, you are better suited for the sword. It's not too late just like me. I strongly suggest you to change your focus" which she gets riled up at and so that Suho × Nayun ship sinks. There was another chance when the students write reviews of some sorts and Suho writes about how amazing she is, what an inspiration she is and yada yada. Ending with him saying that he believes she will be become the best hero there is. Ofcourse she gets embarrassed by this and blushes, then she sees a long review from an anonymous (most definitely MC) and she gets furious. The leader of that group has the most chemistry so far with the MC. When he locked eyes with her too long, he gets anxious that he would be suspicious so he utters "So pretty" and that facial expression on both of them..hilarious!! That was the scene that made me check out this manhwa..also when she sat next to him and a drink gets spilled on her..that also appeared on my YouTube shorts..how he gave her the tissue after. Someone spoiled that they were endgame and I couldn't be happier. Supposedly because he was an extra, when the story finished everyone forgot about him and went on with their lives. Not her tho..they lived happily together in a mountain...living a peaceful and secluded life. Love that he doesn't end up with the main cast since they are high-schoolers. I mean the body he is in is technically a high-schooler but his mind isn't. All his life experiences and all don't vanish, so him ending up with an adult was refreshing. You have no idea how tired I am if that cliche 'I raised him but now I yearn for him' bullshit with all the isekais now.

Oh man I actually love this? I saw this when a commenter mentioned it on 'Codename Anastasia' so I decided to give it a try. I like You Huo and Qui together, they are partners in crime... literally. Furthermore, I love that dynamic shifted with You Huo being the examiner in the past and now him being the examinee. The pregnant girl's backstory was very unsettling to say the least.. Like I thought she was pregnant from the get go but it's because of that old Romani grandma? Sheesh! I love 001's subordinates as well, the sea sick guy and the guy always making meals. I love how they name MC as 'God of Misfortune' and always have a headache when it comes to him. The fact that both of them lost their memories is one thing, but the feeling that they are so close yet so far to one another is.. uncomfortable? Like the feeling that they are almost there makes me uneased. I just hope that they will get back their memories ASAP. Tbh I didn't understand the games as I'm not one to use my head, but I appreciate the dedication. I just wait for the characters to figure it out, I don't even try to get it.

The Chick-Class Hunter is Filial!

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Adorbs! Gruu is so cute. I like her logic and that she truly thinks and acts like a child. The dad is also caring and sweet to her. I thought he would struggle more tbh. Is the student his younger brother or do they just look alike? I love how Gruu is so picky with who she chooses to be her guardian...I thought she would just add him to the mix but apparently not. The guy with the glasses...did he manage to read Gruu's info? Also the thing with Gru's neck...I am concerned. I know we need conflicts in a story but I honestly don't think this manhwa needs it.
