An honest review: The princess in the dumpster. Disclaimer, this is based on my own opinion of the story and it is alright if you do not agree or have other opinions. I feel the story was very rushed, I’m not sure if it is due to missing panels or just a few pages but regardless I feel like there was so much that could have been done that simply wasn’t. Regardless of the art being rather pretty the plot could have been so much more, there was a lot the creator could have done but everything seemed to have a simple resolution and there was no conflict to overcome. Things I especially didn’t enjoy was the fact due to the prince being gay him being a sexual predator to his male sibling was somehow unavoidable? Which I don’t think sends a comfortable message, I understand needing a tragic backstory but was it necessary to make it seem as if those two things are intertwined? I don’t think it was, another thing I did not enjoy was the fact the man who practically raised her is the ML. Regardless of being a spirit who does not age this man saw her through her life, the second she becomes a legal adult he should not covet someone who is practically his child, blood related or not. Overall I believe the story was rushed, there was a lack of character development and no conflict. The side characters had more of an interesting portrayal then the female lead and I would have much preferred to see how their stories would go.

An honest review: the Duchess’ 50 tea recipes. Disclaimer, this is based on my personal opinion and it is alright if you do not agree. I loved this story, from the beautiful soft art to the budding romance of the FL and the ML. This was a very relaxing read, I had no urgency to finish it quickly or to never go back to it. I have read this story multiple times and still enjoy it regardless of knowing what will happen, the FL passion for tea is infectious I found myself enthused about something I didn’t particularly care about. This is not a story of revenge or getting away from a terrible life, this story is simply an enthused passion brought forward by a passionate FL and her soon-adoring ML. Who much like myself fell for the female lead once she became comfortable in her surroundings and found friends to share her enthusiasm. I recommend this story to those who want something relaxing to read without much conflict and perhaps an already made enthusiasm about tea, then again even if you don't care about it much this might be the story to kick off your passion.

An honest review so far: My beloved oppressor Disclaimer, Please be aware before reading these are just my thoughts and you are welcome to disagree with me. The theme of this webtoon so far seems to be “Ignorance is sin” While I respect the FL for not taking her life I find her demeanour strange. Do nothing or do something yet she stays in this middle ground. I don’t see the ML being redeemed, I don’t want him to be redeemed. Whilst I see many are picking sides I can not. Whilst in war there may be winners and losers in actuality there is no winner, everyone has suffered and lost and just saying sorry is not enough anymore. They are both at fault for various reasons and I don’t feel I will be able to love this webtoon or root for either one of them.

My husband is an antisocial count An honest review: Disclaimer, this review is based solely on my opinion, therefor you may think otherwise and are welcome to your own interpretation. The manga goes from 0-100 fast, what I mean by this is the romance was far too rushed. There’s no anticipation, there is no excitement what so ever, the counts antisocial issues and past trauma are just suddenly healed upon the entrance of the FL. There was no true internal struggle and everything was overly sugary sweet. The only redeeming quality of this story was the fact that the step sister wasn’t the FL’s enemy for once and instead her supporter. Other than that and a few semi raunchy scenes I feel like this was a rush job of a story and unless it becomes more intricate in the future I don’t feel urged to change my review.
