The Mage With Special Circumstances Wants to Live Peacefully

Complete | Enoki yuu,Uehara makoto | 2019 released

Interesting premise but rushed plot. Barely scratched the surface... sad. aka BITIN. About: FL is a woman who can use magic but in their world it's only men who can use them. She meets ML who is compatible with her so she gender bends in order to blend in with the help of others. ML is more loud while FL is more subdued but both have strong personalities. Issue: Rush.

3 coz story got dropped and I wish there's more. Interesting delivery of cliche plot. Sort of a gender bend but not really... Characters are great. It's a good short read. About: FL isekai'd in a young prince's body. The world he is in is corrupted. He vows to change it Issue: dropped story

Miss Not-So Sidekick

Ongoing | Ellianyang,Yumyum | 2000 released

Would have given a 2 but 2nd half is good. It was just too wacky for my taste but yeah when romance started it's good. Ending is meh. Got married and that's it. Very quick romance moments. And the males are too pretty. The plot is more like I'm reading a historical romance but with teens lol About: FL got isekaid to a novel where is not protag so she becomes friends with the protag to spectate. ML is a bored powerful wizard who became interested in the crazyness of FL and found himself falling in love. Issue: Crazy comedy. If rereading start in 60+

The story is quite nice despite that end rush. The characters have depth and personality. The plot is also interweaving that I can feel it. It's not too romantic but had enough moments so just a 4 hehe. Character development! About: FL gets a 2nd chance in life. She chooses to be a better and stronger person. ML sees her through hated pov at first but gradually begins to love her. The side characters are all positive. ML is nice and more edge while FL is gradually made stronger. Issue: PTSD. Treason. Mistrust

Totsugimasen Kara!

Complete | sunako | 2016 released

THIS IS VANILLA FLUFF AF. Art is beautiful. NO SEX SCENES...even kiss but still gives that good feel! Cliche to the max like reading typical shoujo but who cares?! Giving a medium because of the serious tone during peak tension but overall pretty light. The end is ok but it does feel rushed since they've progressed in just one chapter in snap. I hate the villain in this story. They can go die and I have no wish for their redemption arc. About: Uke is tricked into becoming a bride candidate for seme. They immediately clash but we all know it was love at first sight. Uke is straight forward. Seme is more arrogant but fluffy gentleman on the inside. Issue: Fucker Tenma just making people go into heat.

Abarenbo honey

Complete | TOBIDASE Kevin | 2015 released

Generic 1st couple, they're both straight forward idiots. 2nd had more omph the uke is a bit tsundere but I feel like 1st couple was presented better. Also their sex scenes were sexier to me albeit done in like weird locations. Some parts are sort of uncensored.. like just a line strip. Romance is there in the end but initially it just suddenly appeared like boom they love each other. There's rape-y scenes. No drama plot. About: Uke and seme are fighting buddies until uke gets heat and seme marks him. 2nd couple is loyal uke who is jaded about love and seme is heir of other gang who fell in love at first sight. Issue: Uke is omega. Seme is yakuza and heir.

Tensei Ouji wa Daraketai

Complete | Asahina Nagomu,Horishiro Shishamo | 2000 released

Very easy read! It's all just wholesome Gary sue kid "building" his way into living lazy. I find it a bit humorous reminds me of a character whose actions get interpreted the wrong way which still benefits him. Story got cut off short but not a bad way just like an open end sort. Overall a fun isekai read with good enough world build. About: Guy died and reincarnated as a royal kid. He just wants a lazy life but everything he does just gives him more attention Issue: Royalty woes

AN INNOCENT MAID FOR THE DUKE

Complete | Ann lethbridge,Ohta,Harlequin | 2019 released

I find this cute but so short! Would be so much better if they fleshed out the story of the actual main lead but the isekai version is also fun. I didn't really get to feel the love tbh but it's such a quirky story that it's a good read so giving it a 4 for the refreshing take on isekai. About: Lead girl embodies the lead of a mysterious book. She proceeds to help out the heroine of the book get her fairytale ending while irl she is also learning how net her own prince. Issue: Confidence issues

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

101st Female Protagonist

Complete | menanik,studio d | 2019 released

I liked the premise. Different isekai plot.. but overall it's pretty boring? I don't really feel the love tbh. I feel like it's more friendship. I wished for more friendship scenes than the romance since there was nothing romantic in each scene... The characters are okay nothing outstanding. I do love Selena. Ending is actually pretty lacking too but it's "good" for the mains. Some side stories would've defo help About: FL reincarnated in a novel and due to events she, a commoner, joined a Crown Princess competition where she fell in love with ML prince who's pretending to be somebody else Issue: Not romantic. Commoner woes. Female competition angst
