Under the Oak Tree

Ongoing | Kim soo-ji,Namu,김수지,나무,P | 2019 released

This... Actually isn't that bad? I came here prepared to drop at a moments notice, instead I kinda want to see where this goes. It's hardly without it's flaws but I do find it interesting. EDIT: Forgot to say I dropped it.

The Youngest Princess

Ongoing | Saha,Doldae | 2019 released

Pretty good. I think they brush off the family's crazy a bit too often though. Don't get me wrong this isn't my first series with these types of characters but they try to kill everybody including who looks like the ML and has done literally nothing wrong. She's also in the same world and time period post reincarnation so there's the very real possibility of a shitty ending where she goes back home and leaves behind everybody.

Please Throw Me Away

Ongoing | 자은향,채로 | 2019 released

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.

I'll Do That Marriage

Ongoing | 갈치구이 | 2019 released

Started off strong but now I'm not so sure. I understand they wanted to be original and I can appreciate that. I just think they're dragging the romance out without committing to a reasonable excuse. The only mention of the protagonist is that she ends up with the ML, that's it. The FL never explains why she's fine with changing so much of the plot only to not want to change who the ML ends up with. With the way she acts I'm not even sure she likes him, she really doesn't seem to care. EDIT: Dropped. I've waited long enough and if they're not interested in progressing the romance in favour of some other bitch then I'm out. I mean it when I say bitch, that's how her "friend" acts, go become lesbian and stop leading the poor guy along if you like raging cunts so much. Maybe I'll return when she stops being emotionally constipated towards only the ML.

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

Beware of the Brothers!

Complete | Plutus,민이영 | 2019 released

I like it, I really like it. But please, for the love of god, get Hari with somebody before I step in to Alabama territory. I'm already simping for Eugene and it's a very slippery slope I'm standing on. To be fair though I actually don't mind the lowkey incest, I just hate being on the losing ship's side. EDIT: Holy shit I think he's actually the ML. Fuck yeah man I don't have to hold back anymore! Wait I gave this 4 stars? Probably gonna be a 5 when I catch up. EDIT 2: Back to 4 but that might be the terrible translation.

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 Young Lady is A Royal Chef

Ongoing | Risha,Paya | 2020 released

It's looking to be very good. We just got our first look at who I believe to be the ML(yeah I was right on the money and he's hot) but regardless I've had plenty of fun just seeing how the plot plays out. It's nice that the first arc wasn't dragged out for no reason, and I'm excited to see the family grow closer.

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...

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.
