The story really left me very frustrated. First of all, Louis is supposed to be the leader/commander of the knights, so he supposed to be a pretty strong person right? So what is it that slowly, he starts acting more and more meek. Like wtf. This world isn’t even omegaverse, Louis was just able to get pregnant because apparently the Imperial families have the ability of impregnating someone of the same sex. I refuse to believe that someone who has the title of commander would be acting this weak. Also, the prince is just an overly pushy bastard. His love borders on the side of being obsessive and extreme. He also get petty when the Louis doesn’t follow his instructions. I really don’t like it. The Prince just gave me bad vibes from the very beginning. Like yeah it’s pretty obvious from the start that he is definitely the father of the unborn child, and he apparently has been in love with the Uke for ages, but I don’t think that really justifies for his actions and the way that he treats Louis. Maetel obviously knew that he had the upper hand because Louis needs his help, so essentially manipulating Louis to spend time with him it’s just taking advantage of the fact that he has more authority and power. Can we really romanticises and say that this is love? To me this is obsession, for something/someone that you have been wanting for a very long time. It does not justify such shitty behaviour and actions. Initially reading the summary for the plot of the story, I thought that Louis being a commander would be someone that is going to be more strong and independent. I didn’t think that over the course of the story, Louis would just be more and more portrayed to be feminine? I understand that usually in BL, there is going to be assigned roles to the two but I was hoping that this story wouldn’t be like that. I just don’t think that it’s fit the narrative that Louis was going to be so vulnerable and constantly in need of saving even though he is supposed to be a very well-trained knight that has gained himself the title of commander. Why can’t we show that he can be a strong and independent character without having to diminish his masculinity in comparison with the prince to show the dynamic of their relationship? The story naturally just puts the prince on the pedestal and boy do I hate it here. Like yeah sure they have a happy ending and they get married but I definitely did not enjoy the journey as much as a lot of people did. Sorry not sorry, this was not the power couple I was hoping for. I was rooting for you Louis! How dare you! Ugh!

FL is an orphan who one day gets discovered as being one of the current emperor’s children due to a ring that the Emperor has left her late mother which FL tried to pawn off as a means of survival. FL is soon taken to the palace but unfortunately her good days don’t begin other than the fact that she is now living somewhat of a comfortable life. Her father does not care about her and her siblings don’t like her. However, good things don’t necessarily have to come in the form of humans right? FL picks up what she thinks is a black kitten which turned out to be ancient magical beast which even the royal family are afraid of. FL and the black kitten bond over time as he is the only companion and real friend that she has other than one of the FL’s maid. Unbeknownst to FL, the black kitten is actually a black panther which has the ability to shape shift into a human who is actually our ML of the story. ML is set to be the next chief of the tribe to his people. Finally some romance progression in the story up to date, MLNFL are grown up and FL is aware of her feelings for ML. ML is officially the chief of the beast tribe and continues an amiable relationship with the royal family. ML negotiated for a marriage between him and FL as a means to maintaining and establishing a peaceful union between the families/tribe. One my favourites, cannot wait for more because the interaction between FL and ML are just so god darn adorable

Read till chapter 37 for season 1 then move to mature version for season 2 and 3

Mature version picks up after s1, so read this after reading the original king’s maker after chapter 37

Perverted gay emperor takes a liking to a eunuch. Emperor does a lot of dumb and funny shit to gain his eye candy’s attention and affection. They have a lot of hot sex and they have a happy ending.

https://azmanhwa.net/manga/kill-the-villainess-2/ A vastly different take on the usual isekai trope. FL was a normal girl who lived a rather lonely childhood due to her parents favouring her brother over her. One day, she woke up in the body of Eris, the villainess of a romance novel that lived a bitter life and ultimately gets killed. FL wants to go home and seeks tirelessly for a way back. In this world, magic exists and the laws of this world keeps FL’s soul tied to Eris’ body despite the numerous times FL tried to commit suicide thinking that by dying, she will be returned. FL comes to accept things but doesn’t give up on returning. But since FL is now stuck in this body and is now Eris, she decides to not be trampled upon any longer and suffer unnecessary indignities. FL plays the part of a villainess well, though she is only cold because of what she’s been though and doesn’t see it necessary to waste time feeling sympathy or pity for fictional characters in a novel. This story is different for the fact that it doesn’t take away the hardship that FL faces, FL is not op and doesn’t have everyone on her side, she is strong in how resilient she is and how she faces challenges head on, persevering though the sadness and despair she may feel on the inside. In this case, FL feels a lot more relatable and her independence shows, for she is alone in this world where she’s an outsider.
