Warrior x princess My rating: 9,3/10 This is a beautiful story about falling in love with your enemy. I love the author's characters and they know how to create sexual tension.

Anxious Inspector
My rating: 8/10 It was good. I liked that she was a police officer, but what bothered me was their age gap: he was as young as her daughter. But the rest was good, although he pressured her into having sex. AGE GAP, POLICE The FL wants to spend Christmas but gets turned down and even her colleagues don't have time. Drunk and alone, she meets her daughter's friends again after many years. He takes her home, but then things take a different turn. Side: Her daughter and her childhood friend/enemy
Dating my way up
My rating: 5/10 I really liked the plot and their chemistry. The uke wasn't weak and the seme real7sed his mistake. But it was rushed, especially the end. This made it lack some depth and a bit confusing. OFFICE ROMANCE, STATUS GAP When a notoriously bad employee gets transferred to his department, the seme perceives him as an annoyance, but after learning that the guy actually is the CEO's son, he intends to use him to reach the top, even if that means becoming his boyfriend.
Kiss the Bride
My rating: 9/10 This is really good. It's full of drama and the seme acts like a jerk most of the time. He's hot and then cold again, totally toxic. The uke is strong-willed but so eager to be loved back that he lets himself get hurt. It has a happy ending tho. MARRIAGE, NOBILITY, TOXIC SEME The uke is a retired tennis junior player who lives as a free agent in Spain. One day a duke (seme), his first love, offers him marry him for money bc the seme needs to get married in 3 moths in order to inherit the dukedom.
Through the Rumors
My rating: 7/10 They were all scheming but actually quite dumb and naive. I often wanted to smack my forehead. But the uke had some good ideas, that I have to admit. The seme was a totally jerk but that was glossed over after he changed.

The omega has to catch a popular actor (alpha) with an omega. But he fails and gets blackmailed into becoming the alpha's sex friends and finding the person who wanted to cause the scandal.
I Picked Up the Second Male Lead After the Ending
My rating: 9/10 The art is unique. The story doesn't have one main arch and villain, there're more events and depictions of their day-to-day life. Instead, it's the complex characters that make it so enjoyable. I really love the FL, she's cheerful and extroverted while the ML seems cold but has a soft core. They have good chemistry. TRANSMIGRATION, NOVEL, STAN The FL possessed the body of a princess who's an extra in her favourite novel. After the plot ends, she decides to propose to her favourite character: the 2 ML who got banished to live as a duke in the north bc of his betrayal. She's determined to crack his shell, but that isn't so easy.
The Villain's Savior
My rating: 8,2/10 It's a story about destined love and the sacrifices you make for your partner. It's rather sad as the ML has a horrible past. She heals him with her love, it's a bit corny. He's evil and manipulative at first, I liked his development. TRANSMIGRATION, DRAMA, FATE The FL possesses the body of the twin sister of the heroine in a novel she read. But the sister didn't exist in the novel. She decides to save the villain who fell for the heroine and died, but the mark of love appears on her chest, a mark he doesn't have. So isn't he her destined partner?
