Doctor Resignation

Ongoing | | 2019 released

The art is relatively simple with some flowers adorning the background. The characters are not unique or a specific sketch, things that make it stand out. It's a typical shoujo with the girl raising (?) the boy then boy falls in love, she is dense and he gets more assertive. Him being gaslighted by his older cousin was one of the things that stood out to me since I could see it happening in real life with real people in real situations. And btw they could not make it more obvious that our MC is the biological daughter of the doctor..there is a thing called subtlety which I love that this genre seems to heavily lack. I love reading between the lines and not being spoon-fed about certain things happening in the story especially when it is so transparent. The Duchess is the 'cool mom' I guess..with the way things are going, I reckon the MC and ML fall in love facing the obstacles of the evil cousin or maybe a second male lead? It is very wholesome. The translation is lacking and I feel some scenes get cut out, it is also a walking cliche.. Currently on ch14

Turning

Ongoing | Nono,Original : guyu | 2022 released

This is so intriguing. I love it, I love the MC and I love the ML. I also love his friends and how the MC unintentionally lit a spark amongst the awakened who thought their talents to be useless. I also like the way the MC utilises his knowledge of the first timeline and efficiently manages things and leaves nothing to chance. Someone in the comment section also pointed out that the MC is an unreliable narrator so I'm hella excited for that, and what it entails. I Their chemistry is top tier, I live for their dynamic.. I wonder why he killed him in the first timeline. So far the characters are top notch. The crown prince annoys the living shit out of me but other than that.. All good
