Glass Wall
FL is spoiled noble that needs rich man that hates nobles. Her family falls and she needs to work after being betrayed many times. Becomes tutor for his sister as they slowly open up about their problems and get closer to one another. She meets other man who likes her but can't bring herself to love him Business problems and drama about their past relationship as she suspects that ML is fault for her father's death. She runs away and lives miserably until he saves her. A lot of drama Very realistic and interesting dynamics of two flawed people and arrogant nobles. Love the character development on both sides Not sure if I like the second half. The drama is super interesting but it hurts my heart ;-; They are so toxic for no reason. Why won't you just be honest and get together? The last half was painful since they separated again and again but didn't open up about the truths or their feelings. Don't know why they didn't just take their money and run either Still beautifully written and quite different from the usual things I read. I honestly expected a bad end, but the ending was so beautiful;-; 01/03/23
Virtues of the Villainess
FL (Ginger Torte) finds book that shows that her arch rival will become cursed prince's lover. She steals his attention instead and wants to change future while getting closer to him. Izana can read minds while making eye contact and struggles to convey what he feels. Helped by man that was helper of wizard that cursed prince and is grandpa of rival. Perfect relationship that develops slowly and reasonably. Good pacing from beginning to end and no extra drama. I love this one so much. It's one of the OGs. It just makes me happy 06/03/23
Dictatorship
FL is ex soldier and becomes bodyguard of son of sultan to get family out of debt. People want him dead, but she is far more concerned about her own life. ML is terrifying and likes threatening her. They already met during war, where she spared his life. She fails to protect him from assassination attempt, so she has to keep taking care of his wound. He confesses love even when she is still scared. Her sister visits and is kidnapped as FL should kill Prince. He finds out and kills enemies. Sends her away as he cleans up before following her later. Get married and have children Great story. Incredibly interesting characters and especially the ML is intimidating as hell. I barely ever found any "monster of the battlefield" scary, but he is portrayed so scarily. But why romance? As of chapter 50, ML tried to kill FL a few times. He claims to love her, but I don't see it with how he keeps treating her like crap. He's a great antagonist, but I really don't want her to end up with him. The second half of the story felt like a separate story. It's sweet that the ML became a loving father and husband, but the change does seem odd. I feel like the start shouldn't have been so severe if they were going to end up in typical romance ending. Though, I appreciate that no tragedy struck. Not sure if any of this is culturally appropriate. Seems to be fiction focused, so I just read it as this 14/04/23
Beware of the Villainess!
FL enters novel as Melissa Podebrat, the arrogant daughter of a Duke. Her fiance is shitty crown prince she now wants to get rid of. The original novel also had her brother (an arrogant mage), an aggressive werewolf and a yandere business man. All are quite shitty until real life, so FL tries to protect heroine while ending her engagement. Picks up werewolf that us her future Lover in the process. Defeat ML's evil step brother who kidnapped heroine and save her. Hints at the fact that heroine goes through time loop and is forced to endure stupid situations again and again. Monsters attack and FL defends everyone while defeating goddess that wanted to force will of story. Perfect round ending I love it. One of the best OGs. The humor is impeccable and I love the FL. The characters are all funny, and I love how they criticize the original novel. The male Lead is super sweet and devoted. The FL also gets along with the heroine, which is great too. All the characters are is lovable, from the whiny Nine to her greedy maid, Yona... I find everyone amusing and want them to be happy I rarely ever feel so happy when finishing a Manwha, but this one ended perfectly. I could have cried because it was done so well. Everything was wrapped up, no loose threads and no dragging out story points. Character development done well even for side characters like crown prince. Super pretty art too Always makes me laugh. One of the absolute best masterpieces 26/04/23
The Predatory Marriage Between the King and the Paladin
FL is princess of kingdom and is mistreated. Eventually gets revenge on those who wronged her, takes over the nation and forces childhood sweetheart to marry her. Treats him coldly since convinced he joined some noble lady as concubine while leaving her behind when they were teens. Backstory of how they met and he had to flee shown. Then they finally solve misunderstanding (house ML built wasn't for other woman but for her). Happy ending with them reigning with small daughter The ML is the hero of this. He is so sweet and devoted and also forgiving. I can't put into words how much I wish him all the best in this world FL isn't a good person. ML did want to sleep with her, but she still forced herself on him and treated him shitty for no reason. Wish they had just talked earlier, but I guess the FL had no trust in anyone left. Very morally gray relationship, mainly toxic from her side. In the end, they always loved one another though and had happy end. Most side characters are trash, from her abusive stepmother and siblings to the priest that sold children to nobles. They deserved what FL did to them. The backstory about the abbey was also heartwrenching. The ML was hurt so much, which is horrible. 27/04/23
I Stole The Male Lead's First Night
FL enters novel as count's daughter and attends ball. Ends up being drunk and wakes up with ML, cold and dangerous Duke. He insists on marriage to take responsibility for first night while she rejects him for a while. They end up fighting after she pretends to be hurt and he finds out but make up and get closer. The FL becomes close friend of the heroine in the meantime and argues with the villainess, a rich noble girl that wants Duke and can't accept rejection. FL and ML prepare for wedding while she overexhausts herself upon founding business. She is kidnapped by villainess, but Duke saves her and villainess is sent to monastery. Second arc is best one. ML is forced to go to war as prince approaches FL. Prince wants to kill duke and marry FL to become duke, but she jumps out of window and ML catches her. Then FL finds out that she shares traits with original owner of body, who used spell to switch places. Fears that the world will end when she has happy end, so tries to delay marriage. Tells Duke in the end. Villainess suddenly comes back and sets fire while stabbing FL. FL is pulled to original world, where her new body's soul lives happily. Decide to stay where they are now. She returns and all happy. Finds out that villainess grew insane and lives on streets but has chance at new life with help of some girl. Prepare for marriage as ML stalls because he finally wants to propose properly. Extra stories where they help king's concubine move away to finally end relationship for the sake of prince. Epilogue with answered questions and really cute round finish This is definitely more humor. Can't read this while taking everything seriously. Ultimately, the Duke forces FL to marry him against her will and threatens her when she rejects him. Quite toxic. But the Manwha isn't supposed to be serious here either. Still, I dislike how the ML keeps ordering her around Many jokes. Almost all characters are amusing at some points, especially the heroine that keeps making FL feel bad by talking badly about herself and maid that helps FL despite being confused by her. Liked second arc with prince since conflict wasn't misunderstanding but was quickly solved. Merely felt the SA attempt should have been mentioned again but FL suddenly felt fine after Third arc is frustrating with how FL thinks that the world will end, tries to run away and only tells ML when he catches her. Communication is key. Luckily, she doesn't draw it out for long. Not sure if I liked that the villainess suddenly came back. That seemed random. But I guess she got her round ending now. Just wish MC and maid had just fucking tackled her The ending made me quite emotional. The last few panels are just perfect One of OGs 03/05/23
The Tyrant's First Love
Amnesiac Maid is mistreated by noble family and is only friends with son of them. Emperor that is known as warmonger that keeps inspecting women's eyes shows up. He saves her and has her brought to palace. She leaves at night and runs into him. He bites her and drinks blood. The second and third part of the story are so much better and less like typical romance. They show their background story and how they met when she was immortal and ML was sent as foreign prince. She was suffering under immortality and then made ML immortal when he was attacked. Third part has a revolt and betrayal by important side characters. Open end with FL waiting for ML to wake up. The betrayal actually hurt. Both male side characters showed their bad traits, but i still wanted to believe in them. Their selfishness hurt a lot. The other side characters have some serious problems though. The latter half is super angsty. Liked it a lot. Didn't guess what would happen to the end. Like that FL didn't forgive betrayal and the way she used her powers to order invaders to leave. 06/10/23
Survive Romance
FL thinks she is in romance Novel, but zombies appear and keep killing everyone. She tries to survive and protect ML but fails countless times. Eventually saved by classmate when she lost motivation. Now tries to protect class and find classmate again. Can't see anyone's face until they start to trust her, which is interest gimmick. Love the thriller. Can't predict anything. The special monsters surprised me so much. Love the character designs. So much variety and different characters. Some people are annoying, but that makes it interesting. Still feel like some should focus on survival more Plottwists are incredible. All characters are great. The action is wonderful too and the ending is round. The character below every chapter were perfect 13/11/23
Agatha
FL is princess but let's her husband take over rule. She is ignorant as he keeps doing things behind her back. Eventually meets noble girl she grows to like, only for her to be imprisoned. FL investigates and finds out that church is spinning intrigue with drug. Her husband supports it. He is obsessed with her and wants to keep her safe, but his father wants her dead. ML is mercenary who protects FL on her journey. He starts out cold and ends up liking her. He wants revenge on her husband Enemies are church which was infiltrated6by cult people who want to use drug and kill people for goddess with king's father on top. FL gathers political strength to fight against them. Very slow and in depth. I was unsure for the first seven chapters, but then the story picked up. All characters are believable. No cartoonishly evil antagonists aside from very minor ones. Like twist of husband being evil but not wanting to kill FL. He actually loves her but goes too far when wanting to protect her. I worry about the preview of her being executed for killing husband since he definitely deserves it. Wasn't into the cult plot line at first, but I love the execution. All characters are important and each one feels fleshed out. Only their help makes the victories possible. You really want the FL to succeed. The ending is perfect. Rounded with no loose strings. Satisfying and heartwrenching at the same time. I adore it. The best political manwha I read 12/01/24
