Starlight Scandal

Complete | Kr | 2019 released

I expected copper, and found gold. Seriously, it was so easy for them to fuck this up and yet it's so good I couldn't stop reading. At every turn I was going "Now I'm gonna drop this" and without fail I would be pleasantly surprised. At the start I thought the characters looked a little derpy but either I've grown used to it or the art improved because I never noticed it after around chapter 4. EDIT: Them actually dating feels weird now that it's happened, and I desperately hope this won't turn in to yaoi like most good series...

Dream Away

Complete | Lee Hana | 2019 released

Damn this was good. I ended up forgetting the now redeemed lowkey villains and even liked their little side story (I usually hate extra couples). Even better was the fact that both of our protagonists have guts. Boy it felt good to see that dickbag put in his place almost instantly after he started shit. Later on they kinda tried to give him more backstory, and while it worked out nicely and I enjoyed it I wouldn't say I forgive him. Luckily the story wasn't trying to force me to though.

The Second Coming of Gluttony

Ongoing | Ro yujin,Ahn jonghyeok | 2019 released

I saw a lot of complaining about this one but it's actually good. At least if you don't have the novel to compare to. The story wasn't confusing or anything.

Miracle App Store

Complete | 정준,삼각설탕 | 2000 released

This was really good. It's got a good balance of comedy and seriousness. I love that the mc isn't a complete pushover. He doesn't care about women. He's able to think logically. The art is good too. I'm interested to see what'll happen next now that he has passive income and all those things got revealed near the end. EDIT: I guess that season 2 isn't coming? Bit of a non-ending but it's fine.

Trash of the Count's Family

Ongoing | elegant yoo ryeo han 유려한,pan4 | 2019 released

Tbh it took me a few days to rate this so I'm a bit foggy on the details. I liked it a lot and then my shipping goggles slipped on. Now I'm stuck with disappointment knowing the mc and actual protagonist will never get together... I'd give it 5 stars if it was BL but alone there's just a little something missing from really sucking me in like some others have.

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 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 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.
