I’m Divorcing My Tyrant Husband
if you don’t let the blood-boiling, capricious emperor ML get to you, it’s not the worst manhwa. the ML is unreasonably possessive of the MC just because she magically became more bold. the MC is a tsundere, but i like that she’s actually kind on the inside. the original saintess fl (an antagonist) is pretty typical, innocent on the outside but cunning on the inside. the characters aren’t particularly developed. i don’t feel any attachment to them. personally, i’m just reading to see what happens. it’s a mildly pleasant read in that aspect. the ml has the tiniest hint of character growth
This Love is a Traves-tea?!
16 i don’t know why, but i dislike the ml for some reason… and it’s not bc of his beard. i thought this would have more commentary on patriarchy, but the author just threw that plot point away.
Misunderstanding
omg this looks rly good alrdy… plus the ml is so hawt??? Update: Wow, that was actually so fluffy??? The healthiness?? THE COMMUNICATION?? The consent?? Literally S-tier. Short, sweet, and smutty. I just wonder whatever happened to the ML’s kinks?? Like, we know he’s a masochistic top but other than that one scene we don’t see too much of it… Idk if they’re completely vanilla in the end or what. Surprisingly great read.
The Fake Duchess In Distresss
At first, the romance is very slow, but I think the payoff is pretty good. I like that the MC is a businesswoman! She’s capable, and seeing her plans in action is satisfying. This has its clichés, but I like the execution. There is no miscommunication. The leads stand as firm equals, and they express their true feelings toward each other, unbound by their initial contract! Refreshing story, and the art is so beautiful ^^ I like how this isn’t purely romance and how’s there are primary slice of life elements.
Over The Paradise
Very interesting! This is still guideverse in a different font, but the setting combined with the zombie elements make this more of a refreshing read. The characters are relatively likable as well. Liking the slow burn and the world building! I’m absolutely digging the art style. This is tew good
Tameshi ni Komando Itte mita
eh dom/subverse isn’t my fav but if it’s this author… update: WOW. i love this approach to guideverse??? this is another one of those universes that play on societal roles (which can be likened to gender), and this is rly refreshing bc it’s not just the normal dom x sub pairing. masa is actually a switch! this author always makes bangers, and they’ve done it again with their incredible art and storytelling. i love, love, LOVE the leads’ dynamic and how the “sub” can actually like refuse the dom’s commands. it emphasizes their identities as equals. i’m always a sucker for the friends to lovers trope as well. probably the best subverse story i’ve read so far
My Secret Stalker
i love this mangaka’s art style~ the premise is very dubcon-y but im kinda into it for some reason. Update: this should have been a psychological horror with the ML quite literally breaking and entering the MC's house and then sort of (?) raping him erm.... but the MC was okay with it. In the end, it was a mutualistic relationship... plus the smut was hot. i think that aspect saved this manga from being a thriller. it's not a story you should really think deep about. they were happy in the end, so good for them ig 5.5
Limited Run
i tried to like this. I really did, but it’s hard when the leads are stupid and the fact that irrational decisions/misunderstandings are what move the plot. How am I supposed to like their melodrama of a love story when I don’t like either of them? why did the author have to make the MC such a pushover with his “unrequited” love crap? the ML is a jerk for more than half the span of the manhwa. The ML is supposedly 32, but he acts half his age. Plus, writing is so ass like why tf was the first rape scene just glossed over. In chapter 58, the ML rapes the MC after he was SAed (he didn’t know, but that doesn’t excuse it one bit). the art has to be the only redeeming quality of this manhwa. this genuinely sucks ass. i don’t understand the hype at all
Master, Please Leave a Mark
I always feel conflicted when I read Human x Android stories. But I’ve just learned not to question it too much lol. Reminds me of that one dude who married Hatsune Miku. Anyway, relatively good so far. A bit fast paced. Lots of smut
