I Stole The Male Lead's First Night

Ongoing | Msg,Hwang do-tol,ti-bah jeo | 2019 released

I'll bump it to 5 when they start dating. The whole review is basically a placeholder until then because I'm thirsting for the ML a bit too hard to be objective. EDIT: I decided on 3* because there's no fanservice and Ripley lowkey doesn't deserve Zeronis. Might change that again later on. Give him to me instead, I know how to treat a man right <3

The Princess in the Dumpster

Ongoing | 하라쇼 (harasyo),해루아 (herua) | 2019 released

Dropped, mom got introduced and she's annoying. Had a strong beginning but it was getting boring anyway.

The Story of the Hated Mule

Ongoing | 대딩의 삶,Cacti | 2020 released

I'm curious, but since the series mostly consists of mysteries I can't think of anything to comment on until there's more chapters.

Priscilla's Marriage Request

Ongoing | Lim seo-rim,Melona | 2020 released

It's damn good, but as always has some flaws. The romance didn't exactly get a lot of development but makes sense within the context of the story and is cute enough. The FL going around fixing shit without becoming a mary sue is nice, since who wants to watch a useless main character? I can also appreciate that they don't drag every bit of the story out for ages. One of the downsides is that the characters don't get much development, and having 3 characters this early on screaming girl power makes it feel like I'm being indoctrinated. The FL is fine but are the other two really necessary? I'm not a little kid that needs a moral to the story...

Sweetheart V5: The Boss Is Too Kind!

Complete | Hua er bao | 2000 released

It was pretty good until it started turning in to a shitfest Yiren can't defend herself from and that bitch Xue what's her face getting off with minimal punishment when she's done enough to be in jail for the next 30 years. I'm biased because I don't like my romance couples having kids though, and Yiren is pregnant now. I'd prefer if she just aborted right now especially since the kid will probably be disabled... EDIT: They keep adding more and more kids I'm out...

Am I the Daughter?

Ongoing | Plow,플로우,Lee young you,이영유 | 2020 released

It has potential. Unfortunately, as is now, I can't rate it any higher. The FL has no internal monologue so as far as the reader is concerned she might as well not have reincarnated at all. She still acts like a kid. The "dad" in this case seems like he doesn't want her either and we haven't gotten to a point where there's romance so basically nothing is happening.

Wish to Say Farewell

Ongoing | yoon yeohum,kim dalhae, lee oh | 2020 released

Man, this is the one series where I'd be ok with a harem ending. It's clear Assad is the ML but Jay is so my type... I wish the FLs in these stories would start to just treat people well so that there's no reason to kill them instead of going for the burn everything strategy. EDIT: Lmao I was wrong Jay wins and I'm happy bout that. Some kind strangers in the topics spoiled it. It still sucks that she's emotionally constipated but once she gets over that we're upping to 5 stars. EDIT 2: Why didn't I do as I said, you may ask? Well, it just never hit the heights that I was hoping it would. Not a bad read though, at least she's doing something instead of starting a slush fund like ever other FL out there. The ending is a bit rushed but I really like the plot twist(?) in regards to how they handled the final conflict. The solution is dropped on us very early on in the series, and inconspicuously at that, to the point that I forgot that was an option.

The Lady's Butler

Ongoing | 하예지 (ha yeji),첨지 (chomji) | 2019 released

I LOVE YOU LANCELOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!! Ok, now seriously, I think this series is great. I started off annoyed that as usual the main couple refused to just be honest with each other. This ended up not being a big deal because they've already gotten together this early on. Granted the FL hasn't told the ML that she isn't the real Charlotte. You may wonder how this could be anything other than toxic when FL is basically an impostor that took the place of the one the ML actually loves, but trust me this makes perfect sense with context. I usually spoil some things in my reviews but in this case basically everything good about this is in heavy spoiler territory so I'll hold back. In a way it reminds me of Raelina which was one of my favourites. There is one very questionable hinge that the entire plot depends on, which may or may not make sense in the future. In vague terms I can't tell why the "villain" doesn't ignore FL because they already have what they want (more or less). For now it just seems like they say they don't care while they're actively being a snoopy lil bitch and will probably try to destroy everything later out of an inferiority complex or something. EDIT: Suicide was invented as a result of the cliffhanger on ch86.

Saving the Villain Who was Abandoned by the Female Lead

Ongoing | Yeon-bi,Yeonjae-jung | 2020 released

I dunno... Maybe it'll be good but what's the point of her being a kid if everyone knows she's an adult? There's little reason for her to transmigated too imo. Why does she have to stay at the house for 3 years if it's just to lift the curse? It's possible they explain these and I wasn't paying attention but eh, I'm just staying because the ML is hot.

The Tyrant Husband Has Changed

Ongoing | 란테시아스 | 2019 released

I mean, they really fly right by the thing that usually takes like 80 chapters in manhwa like this. And by that of course I mean the whole reincarnation reveal and romance build up. Oddly enough I like it this way. It's annoying when couples take ages to get anywhere and won't be honest for seemingly no reason. What makes this stand out more though is that it's actually not as serious as it looks. At least so far it's just been two idiots being cute with a dash of plot to spice things up here and there. EDIT: It's really gone down in quality... EDIT 2: Dropped I can't be bothered
