Interesting concept. Jumps on plots though. End game is rushed too. Overall ride is nice though.

This feels more plot driven than romance which isn't bad. It has comedic moments which is nice. Plot isn't anything new but the characters make it refreshing. About: Uke just got jilted by his fiance and he then met Seme. Seme proved to him he wasn't emotionless. Uke slowly show more emotion thus changing his life dynamic. Uke is stoic but has a nice caring nature. Seme is proactive but still a gentleman. Issue: Prince problems...engagement.

Doctor Elise

Complete | Mini,Yuin | 2000 released

The war arc I like but after that it went... eh they did mundane things which wasn't bad but the overall plot just seemed forced, it was quite annoying to read tbh but I do like how it was resolved. I wish there were more romance shown. Ending is satisfactory. About: Used to be mean but then she died and lived as a doctor until she died once again reincarnating back to her original soul. It's all positive. There's some sprinkle of dark moments especially after the war but it's resolved all easy. She's basically mary sue. ML is stoic and handsome. They have cute moments but not too romantic. It's more plot than feeling. Issue: Political problems. Light touch of trauma

The Villain's Savior

Complete | Myeong rang,Jaessun | 2000 released

Would've rated this higher but half of the chapter the it's all so baffling. FL seems weak but not really but I felt it was dragged on for so long redemption doesn't seem satisfying. Tagging "Slow burn" since the actual real romance happens later even though they fall in love so quickly at start. I like the plot overall but the characters not so much. I find myself wanting more of the prince side story.. No love triangle though which is nice. I did tear up at the end ngl. 2nd half saved this from a 2 star About: FL wants to save ML so she keeps sacrificing herself (which we learn later) until everything resets so they can live happily ever after. Issue: Dragged. Whiny first half. First half is just frustrating. Reincarnation loop

Why are you doing this, my Duke!? Webtoon

Low 4. Quite a different take on isekai romance. It's funny how the duke is just switching personalities. There's a lot of romance parts but it didn't feel real until further up so I'd say it's a slow burn. The main story ending is just too open to be good. Not satisfying at all tbh. Side story at least finishes it off. About: ML suddenly confesses to FL when their eyes met before he could kill her. There's some magic forces that made him this very cheese duke. They fell in love for real but the evil is there to thwart their love. ML is reincarnated then but only he remembers thus he embarks on clearing the evil while looking for the lost FL Issue: FL Mother not explaining anything. Royalty woes. Conspiracies. Memory loss woes. Witchcraft

Beatrice

Ongoing | ma cherie,cierra | 2019 released

Chapt 63.. hot dang. Wished this was smut hahahahha anyway... plot kinda vered down after and got tiring to read esp with the skipping scenes. They did end up together ig? he's puppy like but yeah meh

Living as the Tyrant's Older Sister

Very slow on the romance.. actually 68 chaps in and we only get that ML fell in love first. Typical stoic ML I love. FL is very open and rather wild and loud. About: FL isekaid in her sister's story as a side character, step sister of he emperor brother. She meets ML thinking he was another person and sleeps with him. ML is like love at first bonk or something. Issue: Slow slow romance. Caricature comedy. Royal politics

The Goal is to Become a Gold Spoon so I need to be Completely Invulnerable

Ongoing | 청송아,팀헤임달 | 2020 released

I like this. Good plot and good characters except for the human royalty especially the imperial mother. She's typical one minded antagonist. Main characters aren't mary sue which is nice. Demon prince is adorable. Stoic yet jealous type but also a gentleman. Has some trauma but all is good. Fl is strong minded. I like the direction of the story. About: FL woke up as a side character bound to die so she is determined to change her fate. All she wants is to live long but politics and paranoid minds are a constant bump. ML is of course beside her no matter what. Issue: Royalty politics. Racial Demon human discrimination

Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami

Ongoing | Reia,Umemiya Suki | 2000 released

Plot centered. Quite nice even tho taxes and stuff don't really interest me tho rough start. All the big dialogue dont interest me enough. Reminds me of Ascendancy of a bookworm but more serious. I do like the side romance with the prince but that's about it. Just waiting to see what happens. I am happy that the brother had a good redemption arc About: Mc reincarnated at the moment of being framed she devotes herself to managing a fief as befitting of a Duke's daughter. ML is the first prince incognito who finds himself working for her. They fall for each other. Now they're tasked go unearth the mystery of politics and agendas in their country Issue: Slow. Too much info dump.

From Maid to Mother

Ongoing | Yudzuki Seiya,Tsukimoto Asuka | 2000 released

They're very dense that it's very frustrating. The plot is ok tho. Characters are also likeable. Can't think of rating atm
