Foam of the Sea

Ongoing | Ratte | 2022 released

this is insanely well written. the conflict between the north and the south feels realistic. the character development of the MC is also quite tangible. she goes from a pampered noble lady to a girl who does not care about status. her personal growth too and the themes of letting go of regret. just love that. but the ML… phew THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO GOOD?! no spoilers but it’s been such a long time since a story has managed to rivet me like this. the characters are all nuanced, even the mc’s killer and ex-lover. art is good. really good story 45

Life in Another World as a Housekeeping Mage

Ongoing | Fuguruma you,Nama,Ono akihito | 2019 released

This story is so good! At first I didn’t know where they were going with the MC (Shiori)’s trauma, but the author actually portrayed it quite well— the abuse and also her journey of healing from it. It’s scarily accurate at depicting the corruption that often happens behind closed door and to foreign women. It’s a good blend of fantasy and reality. The MC’s “housekeeping” magic is quite novel in adventurer settings like these imo. One of the things I really love in isekai is when the protagonist longs for the homeland because I think anyone would in that scenario. I love the romance between Shiori and Alec (ML). It just really screams supportive, and I love all the other side characters of well, all of which have depth and truly care for the MC. Such a great read! I only regret not finding this sooner.

Magic Artisan Dahliya Won't Hang Her Head ~A Free Craftsman Life From Now On~

Ongoing | Amagishi hisaya,Kamada | 2000 released

33.2 Absolutely love this! The romance is slow, but the execution is so good! I absolutely love their mutual pining and first love vibes. It’s really interesting how the MC is a magic artisan, but I like how she doesn’t make things perfectly the first time. She works with other to improve her creations, but at the same time her modern mindset does make her kind of OP? Anyway, the writing is so realistic. Her ex is a jerk, but his mindset towards women reflects common sentiment held by men.

The White Mage Who Was Banished From the Hero's Party Is Picked up by an S Rank Adventurer ~ This White Mage Is Too Out of the Ordinary!

Ongoing | Suigetsu sora,Mukuno wasabi | 2019 released

The premise is interesting. Execution could a bit better, but I’m glad this isn’t harem. The MC’s party members aren’t just flat characters, which is nice. Better than your typical isekai where the MC gets kicked out of the hero’s party 39

Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival @COMIC

Ongoing | harunohi biyori,wakasa kobato | 2019 released

Interesting! This has all the qualities of a good shounen (MC getting stronger and all that) except the MC is a girl. I like how this isn’t romance focused (so I’ve seen so far). The MC is so badass. I hope the rest of the chapters continue to pan out this way… 20.2

Even if the Villain's Daughter Regresses

Ongoing | Ellian yang | 2022 released

32 Interesting! I’m liking the leads’ relationship development. The art is really good

The Hero Went Crazy Even Though I'm the One Who Died

Ongoing | 팔당댐,chiwa | 2019 released

The story is so interesting! I love the art, and the side characters are all so dynamic… They also have a child, which I love. This is just so excellently written that i want more chapters right NEOW pls 52

It Was Just a Contract Marriage

The plot is very frustrating to read. The FL is extremely passive, and it feels as though the story is just things that HAPPEN to her, not the FL actually living her life. Another thing that gets me going is the ML’s possessiveness of the FL. That’s not love? I get he’s a dragon and all, but he’s still a man… The whole plot with the FL’s brother being alive too… It feels like I’m being strung along. The plot drags too much. There’s no question that the art is absolutely gorgeous, but I hope the story becomes less frustrating… because it’s frustrating in a not-so enjoyable way. 49

The Trapped Beast

Ongoing | Yi kai | 2022 released

44 I like this author! Good political drama. Actual enemies to lovers. The romance is pretty frustrating, but the war/politics side of this is interesting

ughhh this is too interesting. gotta let this marinate update: if you’ve prepared yourself for the twinkification of the mc, then it’s not too bad. his dense character is quite funny
