Aku no Joou no Kiseki
I would've given it a 4 if it wasn't for Darius the homewrecker. First he tells her to pay with her body when the country is at stake and she's willing to offer him money/land/whatever, then he tries to rape her and assaults her numerous times, then to top it off he calls her his woman like she isn't already taken. I don't understand why they haven't killed this dickhead for treason.
The Duchess of the Attic
I was hoping for one of those "you fucked up and now it's too late, goodbye forever" kind of scenes but it didn't happen. I love it when somebody is shown all their mistakes and they have to wallow in regret and guilt. Stella hasn't gotten her just desserts yet. It's a pretty decent series if you just wanna see a girl succeed in life. I would've liked it more if she divorced him, kicked everyone out, then built herself a life with Claude while managing the territory.
Please Throw Me Away
I feel like it could be deserving of 5 stars but there's very little romantic development going on so that's all I can give. EDIT: Forgot to mention they did start dating, but something is still holding the series back and I can't quite put my finger on it.
Maou no Migiude ni Nattanode Gensaku Kaiaku Shimasu
As per usual, I much prefer series where the FL is already in love so this gets a bunch of brownie points to start off with. She uses her knowledge to help out (making up for her utter lack of magic). Demon king is one of those awkward nice types that's used to everybody hating him. All around solid although it hasn't been long enough for much to happen.
The Plain & Unnoticeable Me is No More
The romance is too messy. They introduced a forgotten childhood friend that she clearly had a thing for but are pushing another dude as the ML.
God bless you (webtoon)
I'm gonna come back when season 2 is up because they left it on a cliffhanger. Romance progresses at a snails pace and the plot ranges from mildly funny to mildly interesting. MC's personality is ok if a bit bland. EDIT: Lol it's been years even if it comes back idc anymore.
The Savior's Book Café in Another World
I'd give it a 5 but the vibes are off. Maybe if ML had increased screen time and there weren't so many sus things FL is unaware of? EDIT: I'd say it did what I was hoping for. Love the romance, it's mature but very sweet.
The Noble Girl With a Crush on a Plain and Studious Guy Finds the Arrogant Prince to be a Nuisance
I love it. Gloomy bf ftw. He's cute and smart and caring and FL sees all that in him just as much as me. The prince can go suck a dick. The plot points are all interesting and unique, the art is beautiful, the pacing immaculate, what more could you want? EDIT: Sadly no kiss because Riol is a shy baby they don't even clarify if they're dating or not. Still cute though.
