Kill the Villainess
It was a good webtoon. It was just that I have expected more from it. People from both the recommendation list and comments of this webtoon posed it as a revolutionary new piece of isekai story. I guess it is somewhat more realistic than the other ones since the protagonist wanted to come back to the real world. For the high praises that these people gave the storyline, the plot felt a lot more bland than I would've wanted. I would've genuinely enjoyed it more if I haven't read those tbh

Concentration of Malice
A villainess I could get behind. She's cunning, charming, and cold. The perfect combination for a person wanting to serve revenge. I do feel bad about the original owner of the body because your girl was going through it. I didn't like how they invalidated her, but I guess those kind of thinking does fit the characterization of the protagonist. In connection to that, I liked how her attitude stayed true during the whole series. She was mean through and through. She knew what she wanted and manipulated her way to get it. I also loved the nice sprinkle of smut and the puppy-like leads too. The scenes are drawn really well and it was very pleasing to read hehe.
Emperor And The Female Knight
The perfect example of a story that has a strong female protagonist. Knowing that it was based on a famous novel, I already knew that the plot was going to be top-notch. It was refreshing to see a manhwa that puts forward a female lead that was not valued for her looks whatsoever. Instead, she's respected because of the capabilities and skills she has built with years of perseverance within the military. I initially didn't want to finish the series since a lot of misogynism that she faces just hit way to close to home. I felt incredibly discouraged and uncomfortable while reading the series and finished it way slower than others. I didn't realize the reason as to why I'm acting this way in the beginning. After figuring out the reason though, I returned to reading it with brand new vigor and perspective. Let's just say that I don't regret pushing through it. I actually enjoyed this a lot. The artists who were given this project also did the novel justice. I especially loved how Lucius became the main visual of the couple. He was the charming and pretty one and I absolutely love that for him. He knew how attractive he looked too (๑¯◡¯๑)
The Hero is Standing in my Way
It's a cute light read. I binged it all within a day and I'm glad to have finished it. The art was the main reason as to why I decided to read it and it didn't disappoint. The sceneries and characters are all drawn with great detail. You could tell that the artists took that extra time to make everything look just as magical as the story. For the plot, this one I could definitely say isn't your common isekai story. I love the twist that they added to this very saturated genre of webtoons and I'm glad that they did it. That one little change made all the difference when it came to experiencing the story. It's a good read overall and I fully recommend it. The female protagonist in this story is a strong swordsman too. I think the amount that she saved the male protagonist, despite him being this great war soldier, is greater than the times she was saved by anyone. She's another capable woman and I'm glad to have encountered a similar female lead as the previous one I've binged.
Beware of the Villainess!
I'm so disappointed that I read this during the time where I didn't exactly had it in myself to write reviews since this was so good. Out of all the villainess manhwas that I've read, she has got to be my favorite. the art is also absolutely stunning. it was such funny read too. i found myself struggling to hold my laugh in more than just a few occasions. it absolutely deserves a five star.
Getting to Know Grace
absolutely thought that this was a doomed yuri type of story. i adore that they had a happy ending for themselves. however, i do think i would've loved it even more if they simply didn't end up together. their dynamic was fishy and complicated to begin with, so i believe that the plot would've done better if it just continued with that. ...or maybe i just like sapphics not being happy HAHAHHAHAHHA
