Supporting Characters Also Need Some Love
59 Smart I like the sweetness of the romance, and the good ending of the wounded friendship The bad friend come around, mend her relationship with her family and her only friend, finally opening her heart and talking things out This is unbelievably rare smart in this type of story I appreciate that the female characters, a lot of them are smart and able, they are very competent and determined
Nulliitas: The Half-Blood Royalty
165 - probably a 3.5 on my personal scale, but i’ll certainly be waiting to see how such a writer matures another crazy evil family, more abuse - and of course way more harpies and evil women than kind and gentle ones 24 c to finally get out and start something , so now wait and see But still, big lies huge misunderstandings, i hope that won’t last too long ! ( but it is lasting -52 c, still bad) I don’t dislike this stern and peculiar art (it feels very french like) C72.5 - getting tired of meeting more and more devious people the romance is ever so slow, troubles seems to come faster - lastly the low self esteem is probably very legitimate, but it’s a pain to read C82 But it turns good from there By the end you have a very bad portrait of aristocracy in general, evil people get what they deserve (and worse ?) but luckily a few of these bad guys find a way to amend themselves, even if they really need to be shaken awake in most cases ( difficult exercise of playing with shadenfreude is mostly good) As for the MC, well hopefully too, as soon as the tiresome misunderstandings are cleared, she stops mopping and fights trouble heads on There are some lengthy parts, mostly due to the fact many characters have their own story arc (lots of downfalls stories around the sweet couple stuff of the MC. ) there’s again a very tight balance to maintain, as these highways to hell can become pretty disturbing Lastly the ML is just an absolutely perfect guy, and strangely but nicely, instead of having the king become a pathetic 2nd lead (leftover), he will become an interesting positive figure There are a lot of nice choices in this story, good values and energy is spent in the right place (using power to do good and share one’s privilege, instead of self poisoning by pursuing scary revenge It’s also nice to see healthy relationships, between lovers , friends and family, and lots of these appear in the second half of the story
It Was Love at First Sight, Mr. Villain!
35 frustrating ? I mostly love the Mc, she’s great, she’s strong willed and kind of smart BUT, that character is damaged by a few things First, i’m not sure many layers or prosecutors are gambling aces+ police investigators, she has quite a few things in which it is not clear how she could possibly know so much I don’t like it, but can live with that What I find pretty tiresome though is that she is still absolutely biased about her fiancé being the murderer Why? Because she read two lines in a novel and that’s mostly it Instead of truly searching for the suspect, she is searching for ways to incriminate him Sadly she does very little to actually piece up a puzzle that, even as a reader we can start to see How disappointing is that ? After she realized the forensic were wrong about the last victim, why doesn’t she revisit the cases? She’s a prosecutor pointing her teeth at a mere suspect without any evidence, and she forgets she might be totally missing out big because of her narrative At the minimum, we know too little about the victims : she only eyes connections with the duke, but who were they ? Who were their obvious relations ? How come she didn’t search the background of the mysterious baker ? Why doesn’t she follow the mystery about the free sugar ? (Obvious connection were already given How come she doesn’t make the connection with the cortina case or the queen when so many things point towards them ? This is already bad, but she also had to babble about her doubts towards the duke to the bodyguard ? Why then ? She already started doubting so why ? Then obviously, at a personal level she doesn’t maintain clear boundaries and doesn’t realize her duke is jealous or that her bodyguard is growing interested in her, which ridiculously aggravates the bias towards the duke :how dumb can that be ? how many chapters can you spend believing the guy is a terrorist or that he wants to kill her, just because he’s clueless and clumsy about relationships ? This is too much She’s supposed to be good at asking questions, but she misses things that are so obvious, doesn’t speak her mind when she’s unwell, makes herself fainting on fake assumptions instead of simply asking questions when in doubt Bad communication at the worst Bad prophetic novel belief disease, maybe even worse than others as she didn’t really read the book It feels like a waste There’s a nice plot, the dynamic between the two didn’t need all that crap to be slow We had no need for a second male lead with no chance from the start as his background would not allow anything I hope to see more of the good (the mystery, the smart woman) And less of the crap (the bad prejudices and the wrong direction with the bodyguard leading to bad romance material)

My Husband Is My Choice
48 Suspected to be dropped ! (But maybe not ?) Well, it’s a pretty typical setup, the girl died and came back many times, and try new options to save herself and the one she cares for Despite the summary about revenge, survival and protection is more important, and that is a good thing Maybe the ridiculous thing is that she never lived a long time and should not feel old, but luckily her mentions of finding herself young is not followed by much There’s also truly a chance she might have grown a bit wiser, and it’s good she actually knows very little about the reasons behind the ambition of the emperor (probably related to her dragon ancestor) So there’s a small plot, the MC is rather balanced, not too tyrannical and luckily sane Her chose husband is an absolute cutie, let’s hope he will not become overbearing The knight has been made pitiful, she really does not put any distance between them and he obviously grows a serious crush on her, that he would not had grown if she had been more careful about how she took « care » of him The good prince is obviously a nice candidate for next king in his rotten family I would have been curious about that pair, as they would have walked side by side as equal It’s interesting enough, one might hope it’s not truly dropped as the new official update give hope about a follow up ?
