Beyond the borders of the kingdom of Yarke, is the blighted land of Uren. Peasants and nobility listen with open ears as travelers recount tales of witchcraft under the moonlight. As tensions mount, the third prince of Yarke travels outside of his kingdom under a full moon only to encounter a beautiful woman. While the prince is charmed by her graceful appearance, she isn't all that he seems. DROPPED Not my favorite of the batch that I read. I did not like the protagonists but that doesn't mean they weren't well-written. I like the second couple, but at the same time I feel as though this one follows two very toxic relationships that I do not considered fun. I did not actually finish this one, I just read the ending while I was at the middle of it cause I was sick of the drama.

The handsome and strapping Prince Rix Vanus has returned to his homeland after winning a brutal war against demons! And yet... cursed by a vicious demon, the warrior prince is tormented nightly with shameful, lust-filled hallucinations as the demon takes the lascivious form of all his associates. Escaping to the wild, miraculously, a benevolent divine spirit named Nuah joins the prince, seeking to break the curse and ease his suffering. And now, his nights — and more — are filled with Nuah... its pretty good. Like Hella good. The characters are flawed and beautiful and the seme is very sweet to the uke. I like the healthy part of the relationship. The story gives me a feeling of bitter sweetness I never felt before.

Sal Senba is going to be the head of the Senba clan-a family with a long and distinguished history teaching the art of ikebana, or Japanese flower arrangements. He's not sure he's up for this role, though, being born into it instead of "earning" it. Months before the ritualistic ikebana exhibition to symbolize the succession, he falls into his mirror and finds himself in another world... one with a beautiful garden of flowers and an even more beautiful man. At first, Sal thinks this Prince Shaal has nothing to do with him... but little by little, he sees that they mirror each other more than he thought. An otherworldly romance between a super hot prince and a hottie in a kimono!! It’s very cute and wholesome. I loved the idea and it was fairly light for a yaoi.

The seventh Imperial princess, Evenrose, once died. Her last memory was when the royal family was destroyed by the Homunculus, who caused treason and was drowned in the scheme of their brother standing on their side, by swallowing poison. But when she opened her eyes again, "I...I'm not dead." She realizes that she's back to the past and was eight years younger. It was before the third emperor, who will be the next heir, was officially chosen as the successor. An opportunity to prevent the fall of the imperial family by pressing the third emperor Bridgette and being recognized as the successor. As part of the preparation, Evenrose decided to write her own article about Michael, the king of Homunculus and the monster of public prison, in order to win the emperor's heart. "I need you, Michael. Very badly." Will Evenrose be able to get him and protect the imperial family safely? It’s good. I like it. ML is not scum and I like the development. Likeable characters with good art

Oliver, a hairdresser, has undertaken a journey to rescue a princess who possesses hair made of gold. It is said that the princess is far away in a tower that is surrounded by monsters. The journey proves to be challenging for Oliver who has only wielded a pair of scissors all of his life. Within the first few days, he is attacked by a beast. The beast attempts to... kiss him?! What is to happen next?! It’s pretty new and has a solid beginning. I need to do more reading to form a valuable opinon. So 4/5 for now

I reincarnated in a novel inside the body of a villainess named Elise who poisoned herself when her fiancé, the prince, married her childhood friend, the maid Helena. From the moment I realized this, I had only one goal. Escape from the world in this novel. Even after death, I tried to get out of this world but the ‘world’ did not allow it. However, after rejecting the path of “Elise” in the original novel, the men who had persecuted and ignored Eris began to beg for her interest and affection. “Who are you?” the priest who revived Helena asked. “You… are you really Elise?” even the warrior who pledged eternal loyalty to Helena asked. “You have changed,” said the prince who rejected Elise in order to marry Helena. It was strange. No one was interested in Elise before. “I don’t want to get affectionate even as time passes.” She has no confidence in loving this world. It’s good. I like how it’s going and I like the MC. She actully has a personality.

I woke up one day inside the story of a novel as the maid of the disgraced duke and side character, Alejandro Quillo Vel Laviti. Will Alejandro’s fate change with the appearance of a new ‘extra’ character? What is the truth behind his cursed mark? Ngl I liked the princess. She’s pretty interesting albeit very obsessive towards the prince. I hated the prince. God this is what I feel when I read a meh manga. I hated the middle. Nice beginning. It’s just after she is away and comes back. I found the MC bland and uninteresting to me. Okay she is total Mary Sue and I don’t really like that. Sure she is likeable and stuff but like she doesn’t really have any flaws that feel real. Idk I mean she goes through these consequence but when the prince fell for the MC it made me have so many eye rolls. I guess I like the princess because she is somewhat of an intresting character. Of course she could be jealous and shit but I like her because she has the potential to actully grow from this and she’s flawed as hell, and is used as a foil to make the MC look like an amazing person. So yeah she is not a psycho she is naive and doesn’t have much experience this she doesn’t have a good coping method making her childish. So yah.

I was forced to marry a man who hates me. Which is to be expected since my mother killed his family. “I want you to promise me before we get married. After 6 months of marriage, I want you to divorce me.” “…What?” “I know you were forced to marry me. We don’t need to draw out an unwanted marriage, do we?” “An… unwanted marriage?” He dazedly kept on repeating my words. Cute and I ended up liking the characters. This suits my taste and is terribly addictive to read

Violette, a proud and beautiful daughter of a duke, commits a crime out of jealousy towards her half-sister. Convicted, Violet faces her own heart with sincerity in a prison cell and regrets her sin. Then time rewinds to a turning point—to her first meeting with Maryjun one year ago. Violette makes a decision. She will not make mistakes this time. Without committing a crime and bothering anyone, she will live an ordinary, plain and inconspicuous life...! However, incidents contrary to Violette's expectations occur one after another...?! Honestly...It's okay. I'm not the biggest fan of this but at the same time the interactions with yulan and violette is pretty adorable. They have pretty good chemistry and so on. The prince kind of bothers me.
