ojisan enthusiast's manga / #Enemies To Lovers(14)

Oh man. I have a lot to say. In the beginning, I had expected to drop this. The artstyle and general vibe reminded me of late 90s - early 2000s yaoi mangas. Which it was actually very similar to. i didn’t even realize this wasn’t a super old manga and a tappytoon series until later on. i carried on, mostly because i adore arabian-esque stories. they often focus on the sultan and their lover. i’m weak for rich semes. anyways. the beginning was pretty weak. the premise is interesting — the pure, real definition of enemies to lovers. not the high school rivalry type but the type where blood has been spilled. there are times where i can’t help but think “man this is stockholm”. it eventually starts getting pretty good, but not enough for me to curl my toes. it’s pretty ok, plot-oriented. its funny that the author thinks i give a shit about the second couple, king and caesar. thankfully, they didn’t really get much screen time. theyre fucking annoying LOL side note: the king looks like a mixture of camio from devils and realist + raichi from dna. idk why HAHA the execution is pretty fucking wack ngl there were a lot of times where i just skimmed or skip a chapter bc it was boring to me. a lot of things should have been explained more. there were also a lot of times where after the big arc has finished that i’d be like “damn rlly wanna drop” until another problem occurs. the thing is, i love their dynamic. prideful, powerful man who does only what he wants meets a soft person who becomes his only joy and motivation of living. i just disliked the way the author portrayed it. the angst and drama itself, however, is a completely different story. it is absolutely excellent and if the rest of the story wasnt so weak in contrast, i wouldve given this five stars. i enjoyed it! maybe i’ll reread it one day, but it isn’t one of those stories where i have the instant urge to relive it. the ending was so soft

i held of reading this for a looooong time because my judgmental ass thought it was gonna be exaggeratedly ugly mc falls in love with a king prince charming handsome guy who’s like “no1!!1 who cares about what they think!1!1!” i really like this story and it’s practically perfect— until the last couple of chapters. i think the story with ayeon was so messily done and made his character kinda one-dimensional. it was so sudden and i’m sure most readers (including me) fell for him but then the ending with him went flat. the main couple is really good!!!!!!!! no complains there. sure i got frustrated at times but its mostly bc i wanted them to be happy, not bc of shitty writing. i did not give a single rat ass about the other couples. i didnt bother reading the filler couple and the second couple was just unnecessary and boring

chapter 36 lolol i actually gave this a shot but fuck its so annoying the ml is so annoying jesus and its even more annoying how they keep trying to victimize him https://twitter.com/hyoojn/status/1777002294497927188?t=tVnBlYWGdR3gu5aG5jLTMw&s=19

as expected of harada-sensei!! i lover her psycho and fucked up works so much i tagged it as enemies to lovers but it isnt really at first, it seems normal and i even though it was super tame for harada-sensei but there’s a twist ;) i adore this story so much omg the manga ends with a cliffhanger btw its pretty trash

good shit not rlly enemies to lovers but eh shouldve been longer tbh bc so many questions??

this is a cute quick read the second story is boring

LOL WHAT THE FUCK IS RHIS ??? i vividly remember really liking this during my first read which is why i have it 3 stars but i tried rereading it and FUCK it sucks. the uke is way too fucking annoying. the seme is unreasonable. the third dude is also weird as shit and its just weird as fuck lol garbage

ch 441

Totally Captivated is a roller coaster ride. It’s full of humor, drama and fluff. The tropes are all from very cliché romcoms, but that’s all part of it’s charm. This series will totally captivate you. There are definitely questionable stuff, but it still leaves you satisfied and with a good taste!

this is great lmao but some points were confusing the pacing in some panels are too fast
