I actually wrote a review for this earlier but I mistook it with 'I raised a tyrant then ran away' so that was a bit of a pickle. Anyways, I saw the promo for this a long time back so I decided to look it up on Wattpad of all things then I managed to read a few chapters. Since I was still young and a novice to reading or this medium in general, I wasn't necessarily being picky and enjoyed and consumed everything I could find irregardless of how cliche it was. Now reading it a few years later, I feel it is not a good read at all. The MC is so annoying and now that we know the way that the servant will turn out, well that makes it worse doesn't it? Him turning obssessive is a big NO from me although it's in the title. Can't they just be in a happily ever after bliss or is that impossible? Hmm..another thing I hate is that the og ml is interested in her. For goodness sakes!!, Why does this happen over and over again? Is the og fl gonna turn out to be bad? Sheesh..and the thing about the promo I saw was that it was so pretty but obviously the artist changed cuz it cannot compare to it and is a huge step down in terms of art and the way the emotions can be seen on the face..

Read it for the art and the cover looked absolutely gorgeous..left cuz of the plot..I get what they were trying to do with the dynamic and fate etc but the pacing and story was just so all over the place..it knew what it wanted to do but it rushed to get to that spot without giving clear reason for the things they did..have seen similar plot done the right way or simply better.. nonetheless good artwork.. seriously

First of all...ml is hot..tan, muscular and has melanin..the art is stunning...love the attention to detail... MC's freckles are lovely..she stutters a lot and has childhood trauma cuz of her terrible dad..love how the story doesn't gloss past that.. misunderstandings arise..ml thinks mc is a typical noble lady and since he was a commoner, tries to do everything to satisfy her..has some insecurities insisting they change things to suit her tastes or gets mad at his servants for not properly redecorating his castle for MC's welcoming..mc is scared to tell ml her upbringing for fear of rejection and wants to be the noble lady he thinks she is...mc is clueless about outside world and responsibilities of a lady of the house..and lastly lots of smut scenes and they have sex a lot..I read the novels trust me

Good reviews for this...read it later when I feel like it. So I read it halfway to Ch7 and I have to say it is pretty solid. The MC is a sweetheart isn't she? She looks lovely..the story is light-hearted and wholesome with colours everywhere. I think I can read this another time.

The Investigator of Mueller

A bit dragged out...mc is observant and there is a secret to her birth...I loved the mc at first then as more chapters went on, I felt my love for her decreasing bit by bit until I grew annoyed...she used to be independent and firm now is a lovesick idiot with a strict uncle who puts her in a house arrest and she goes along with it without any complaints? She loves the ml now same for ml..he loves her too..I feel so many mixed emotions..I dropped it but maybe I will continue Update: I picked it up and read upto 130..I know I dropped it at 121 but it's still progress. Besides it is basically a telenovela at this point. Just absolutely ridiculous, innit?

The Duchess with an Empty Soul

I have an attachment to this webtoon as it was one of my first introduction to this medium but without the nostalgia talking..after I read two or more years later it seems a bit dragged out and repetitive..ml is great..he stands out and his love for mc is just fucking adorable...mc takes revenge on her ex who exploited her while cheating on her with her cousin who is the mastermind behind her suffering in her last life..BL as a side story is quite uncommon..anyway mc is a very driven woman who wishes to increase her magic for the upcoming events in the future..the highlight for me tho is the ml..he is my type of ml without falling into my usual type if it makes sense

I've Become the Villainous Empress of a Novel

Ongoing | san-yang,miraenabi | 2019 released

MC is such a role model...love the art...she is such a smart character but it seems reasonable tho...some secrets behind what I thought to be just the plot...reason behind the most miniscule things...love that....love it!!
