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

The Lady I Served Became a Young Master

Ongoing | Sigma,TabbyStar | 2019 released

Bro I want him to look like a man. It's really awkward watching shoujo esque moments looking like yuri even if the FL just treats him as a friend.

The Goal is to Become a Gold Spoon so I need to be Completely Invulnerable

Ongoing | 청송아,팀헤임달 | 2020 released

Maybe it'll be good, maybe it won't. We just got our introduction to ML and he's a bit of a jerk. I would've preferred if the FL was all over him trying to marry in to riches so at least we'd be making progress.

Limited Time Princess

Ongoing | Tanyeong | 2019 released

Riven is cute but nothing interesting otherwise so far. I get the feeling the original ML is an ass so I don't think FL should get with him. Also don't like original FL even though I think we're supposed to. I don't care how innocent you are taking somebody's man is a bitch move.

For Better or For Worse

Ongoing | Noh Hueda,Eunren | 2020 released

This is mostly a comedy. Could end up great or horrible depending on where it goes from here.

Your Majesty, Please Don't Kill Me Again

Ongoing | 혜용 / 에클레어,하연 | 2019 released

This rating isn't for a romance, but borderline psychological. The FL is traumatized by this mf that killed her entire family for no reason. Still, she sucks up to the ML so that the same thing doesn't happen again. The problems are the small glimpses of humanity she can see in the child version of ML. I'll be honest here, just like her I haven't forgiven him, so I'm interested in how this will go with no shipping involved. I'll be truly surprised if they can pull of a successful redemption arc.

Everything was a Mistake

Ongoing | Guan,Mimba | 2020 released

A lot of people have a problem with the romance here. I was one of those people. At least until that one chapter where Nocton goes from an evil creep to a misunderstood loner. Don't get me wrong, he should have gone around killing everyone he sees, but somehow Duroa changed that. It just doesn't look like it for a good 15 chapters. I have no clue how any of this could reasonably get resolved though so I'm mostly staying to see the mental gymnastics required to fix their relationship. Knowing these shoujo manhwa it'll probably make sense too. EDIT: Dropped. This shit is still going? Ffs Duroa is a total bitch. Get over yourself and hear the poor guy out already! At this point Nocton would be better off forgetting her.
