Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Possessive lover(145)

CW: Non consent Some old style yaoi stories where none of the relationships were healthy and loving. They were let down by guys with weakness of character and master manipulation skills. From the first teen pair with the slutty friend who indiscriminately sleeps with anyone being raped and lied to by his “best friend”, to the pair of college students with the self centred uke with poor communication skills, to the final toxic yandere who crippled the one he wanted and killed his lovers sister, leaving the man he loved obsessively to be fully emotionally whipped and dependent upon the seme. To be honest none of the couples were likeable, but if you are in the mood for toxic relationships or a yandere, then these fast and easy reads may appeal.

Story is completed I loved this story so much. It’s one of my favourite tropes to have the ML be considered powerful and dangerous to everyone except the one he loves where he is a protective, gentle, and loving pushover. Crown Prince Muyeong is truly a frightening beast. He is a cold and ruthless killer in war, capable of what can only be considered atrocities. His reputation becomes such that his mere appearance on a battlefield would have the enemy fleeing. Hwayeon Ryu is the beloved daughter of Chancellor Ryu and awakening from a coma she is now also also the reincarnated Yeonu Lee with all the traumatic memories of her short life in a distant future. With all the memories of both, Hwayeon is a gentle and sweet soul who is drawn to Muyeong and only sees the best in him. Their story is packed full of comedy (especially from their respective families) and a beautifully intense connection with each other. I really recommend and will read this again. Hwayeon Ryu, without knowing the cause, falls into a coma at the age of six. Then after 12 long years of her father, Chung Ryu's persistent attempts, she finally opens her eyes. As she wakens from her prolonged sleep, she realizes she not only has her memories but has the memories of someone else's life, Yeonu Lee. Though startled at first, as time passes, she manages to adjust to her new life. Then one day, in hope to have lunch with her father, she pays a visit to the palace. But she ends up taking the wrong turn and finds herself in front of the notorious beast, crown prince Muyeong... The story unfolds then, when the soft and delicate flower Hwayeon meets the arrogant and fearless beast, Muyeong.

I made it through to the end. Nearly didn’t read it all, but the story did well enough to keep me turning pages in hopes of a good ending. I actually like the main couple. Haron was a gentle and loving partner, the kind of guy that makes and excellent husband and I was happy for the MCs story. Most of the manhwa could have ended with the first 50 chapters, plus the wedding and very final chapter. The rest was a bit of a drag. I didn’t like the cop out with Russel and the fairy. Forgetting all that is to not grow and move on in a healthy way. All the wishes (like Irene walking) and that what he picked? What a waste. Also, what happened with Harons parents? For something that dragged on, it sure missed some key things and rushed others. In summation, it was an ok read. The MCs romance was sweet, but lots of the story was otherwise skippable.

Completed story Yoon Haneul: Modern woman and a pushover, Yoon finds herself isekaied into a novel she had written 10 years earlier. One full of youthful cliches and tropes that made her cringe, and one where she became the villainess. Aila Mertensia: The villainess who existed in the novel to make the heroine shine. Daughter to a powerful duke, now that Yoon is inhabiting this body she is determined to avoid that bloody ending and enjoy her favourite novels. Only it seems that avoiding her role has placed time in an endless loop. And it seems that she isn’t the only one to notice. Killian: Centuries old and a powerful warlock, Killian had been stuck in a repetitive and irritating day and was determined to destroy the one responsible. Tracing that person led him to Alia. In order to help time move on, he decides to help her become the perfect villainess. I really loved the story. The MCs were wonderfully designed and the plot was enjoyable. The ending was a bit fast perhaps, but it wrapped things up pretty well and was very satisfying as far as the MCs future goes. Based on a light novel

Some stories manage to go beyond what you hope for and deliver something truly special and memorable. I simply adored this manhua (available on WebComics). There were so many feelings evoked and such beautiful artwork, it had me unable to put it down. Dark moments, heartache, angst, joy, friendship, character chemistry, and ofc love that defies the odds. For me, this is definitely highly recommended. Su Yuan was from a poor family. To release the heavy burden for his family, he accidentally got permitted into the Ogus Academy. However, he found out that the school was established to protect demons. As a weak human who wanted to survive, he must find a demon to be his pal. Because of Su Yuan’s unique scent, he attracted many wooers who wanted to be his pal as well as all sorts of attacks. Until one day, he saved a fox covered in blood, and revealed a big secret...
