axima's manga / #Drama(298)

Ngl it's pretty bad. The story doesn't make that much sense and they've got no chemistry. You're just never given a reason to care. The bad luck curse or whatever is literally never explained and presumably doesn't go away. Tagged shounen ai but the side stories are 18+.

An all rounder. Decent in every aspect, but nothing exceptional. I hope they use her being a doll for something unique. ML is fine but he loses some appeal once the reveal comes, he's still obsessed with his sister to his own detriment and can be unreasonable because of it.

Love hate relationship with the dad. Can be frustrating but I like the MC. They start it off as her just trying not to die but really she's after more than covering her ass she obviously cares about her dad.

Really good. They executed the plot twist so well I considered it then wrote it off, only for it to be real and still make sense. Interesting conflicts and creative fights. MC looks to have a good bit of depth. Amazing art too. If I had one gripe it'd be that the women are weirdly perverted? It's not too bad most of the time just kinda weird/creepy.

MC is trying to give Loyd a run for his money with those faces. The comedy is pretty good, story is not bad. The fights in more recent chapters haven't impressed me though. It's easy to forget he's supposed to be strong when every single enemy he's like "omg this person is so powerful I can't beat them yet I will have to use my final ass pull".

MC is a little dense but not awful. ML is adorable. If we get more romance or a deeper plot I'll probably bump the rating.

It's too interesting to drop but don't read it. Everything about this scenario screams tragedy. I'm so confused on if a romance is even possible here...

This is too good. Pretty realistic FL deciding to just give up on the people making her out to be a villainess and staying in her mansion while commissioning entertainment. The progress of her relationship with ML felt very natural. The plot's really started to pick up I can't wait to find out what's up with Darcy and where this goes.

I'm not sure what the relationship status of our main couple is but I like it. They're not being emotionally constipated and avoiding each other for no reason but just casually getting closer like actual people. They're very cute together. The other characters look interesting so far. Michael is very very hot and makes me feral. The translation isn't that bad but there were a few moments where I was confused which might be from that, overall the plot has been good though.

I have a lot of feelings about this manhwa. So many I'm not sure where to begin. It's not anywhere near a masterpiece, there's plenty of issues, yet I couldn't stop reading because the whole thing felt weirdly nostalgic. Brought me back to when I first got in to BL and read those trashy stories with drawn out drama and toxic relationships, all the typical clichés. It's just far enough to not quite be the same as them but still somewhat reminiscent. The main couple playing self sacrificial hot potato to save the other from the crazy 2nd ML, the stupid redemption arc that didn't redeem anything, the old friend/ex coming back to also be a creep, even the loose ends and plot holes feel similar. The concept was really interesting and I wouldn't say it didn't go anywhere but I'm not quite happy with what it did do. Still, I don't know if it'd feel the same if those issues were fixed. All I can say is if you're expecting a story about MC using knowledge of the OG novel to change the future that's not what you're getting, it's more like isekai > cooking show > slice of life > k-drama > soap opera. Then it wraps back around to average BL.
