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
The Villain's Savior
FL enters novel to help pitiful second Male Lead that broke after heroine rejected him because of seal. She has one too and hates it since worries that it will destroy love but gets closer to him, who first only acts but becomes Obsessed quickly. I feel like she should have told him about seal earlier. Really like FL aside from that though since she has goal she works for. ML is sweet but sometimes disturbing with how he acts. You feel him become better and fall for FL slowly, which is quite sweet. Seeing him argue with his butler is quite funny Once again with twist of FL bring from this world originally since goddess moved her soul around so that she could help ML. Not sure why that keeps happening Consistent pacing and all questions answered, which is rare. 29/12/22
Inuwashi Momo wa Yuruganai
Cancelled at two volumes.;-; FL is young girl that completely controls brothers' lives and tries to act innocent. They secretly surveil her too. Other boy finds out and blackmails them. Very funny with how teenagers randomly have weapons and spy pigeons Unfortunately, none of the men listen to what Momo wants. And the ML is freaking annoying. I really don't want him to win. The other choices aren't much better, but he is the worst one. The psyches of the different characters are quite interesting 12/11/22
A Proud Wolf's Awkward Love Affair
FL is princess. Her nation is taken over. She thinks prince that wants to marry her now, but he wants to prove otherwise. Dub-con. Antagonist is other prince that wants her and his pretty assassin. Both are insane, but main couple is power couple and defeats them Serious in beginning and divine comedy at the end. Strange change but I laughed too much to worry. Sudden end and the FL is a bit naive to allow enemies to keep living 05/11/22
