Periodttt's manga / #Manipulative FL(7)

The Pet of the Villainess Webtoon

Ongoing | Harnenn , Seobo | 2019 released

Ch89. (Completed at ch104 + 13 side stories (total ch117)) Honestly I didn’t have high hopes for this story but WOOW it blew me away. When tags says “shoujo” and “romance” but the story is actually really deep and dark damn, love it. Honestly I love all the characters (except the emperor, empress, and crown prince). Everyone has their own struggles their going through ans everyone tries their best to just live their life. It makes them much more relatable then characters who are just op and don’t encounter any struggles. Also I love how Arth and Sasha suit each other so well, from the outside youd think they’re as opposite as can be, wirh Arth being smart and blunt and Sasha being bubbly and cute. But they’re actually both master manipulators, I love it. I just wish Rebecca and the dragon could find happiness as well…I hope Rebecca finds a like minddd person for herself (maybe the female knight). And I hope the crown prince gets what’s coming to him, spoiled brat

The Reason Why Ophelia Can’t Get Away From The Duke

Ongoing | Joo ari,Samoh | 2019 released

Ch 50, complete, it started off really interesting but by the end it was confusing and disconboblaged. Apparntly the novel fleshes out the story much better but the Manhwa kinda watered it down and made it confusing so idk but what I do know is that I… IM MAD THAT THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SMUT IT THIS STORY!! Bro the novel had so many smut scenes, why they gotta water it down like this . Overall if they did have smut scenes I’d put this in complete best but since they didn’t have smut scenes and the plot become weird at the end Imma have to say it was eh. I mean usually I like when main characters are villains too, but tbh her motives and plans near the end were so confusing, and I couldn’t even hate other side villains bc they were basicaly the same as the main characters. Basically all the villains, including the ML and FL, we’re evil villains bc they were obsessed with someone else. Bc they were yanderes they did evil things. Well wheedeedoo, truthfully I wouldn’t liked this kind of concept if this was done well but eh

The Princess's Double Life

Ongoing | 고은채,쌍필 | 2019 released

Ch 24 on other sites. OKAY this is my fav FL, she’s so unique, I’ve never seen a scammer FL like her before. She’s logically and smart but also empathic. Love that from her. Also our himbo ML is too cute, all brute but he’s so pure and wholesome. They fill in for each other ehehhe. I lowkey wanna ship her and the butler just because they’re both so similar being smart and manipulative…but I also do like opposite attract so I ships the FL and ML. CANT WAIT FOR NEXT CHS

Your Eternal Lies

Complete | | 2019 released

Ch 15, this story reminds me of “the princess’s double life” where the FL is a manipulative scammer and a prisoner. But anyways wow! This story was quite the psychological read. The line that really got me was when she said “how come I got 50 years for murderering my husband, but my neighbor who beat his wife to death only got 8 years?” And it really just highlights the unfairness of the law, and how the law isn’t always right and just. I also love the juxtaposition between the ML and the FL. How he is deemed as a hero and she’s a villainess scapegoat. To cover up his crimes, the media uses her as a scapegoat. Sad that to have a hero, there has to be a villain who can take the fall for everything so the hero will remain “spotless”. Can’t have a hero without the villain, so it’s sad the FL has to become the scapegoat…but I like how the ML at least is aware of this, and feel gulity for it. It shows he’s human and empathic too…from spoilers, Ik the ending kinda leaves much to be wanted since they don’t get married or have kids…I mean it’s at least inferred they have sex since he takes contrapceptives..BUT CAN WE AT LEAST GET A KISS SCENE PLSSS IM PRAYING

Ch 35, dropped this at first Bc of horrible translation so I couldn’t understand the plot at all, but once we got good translation, the plot doesn’t seem all that too bad. We have a manipulative mastermind FL, and strong ML…eh not much chemistry between the leads yet Bc theyre still kids but it’s cute nevertheless. The art isn’t too amazing and the ML literally looks more pretty than the FL. It seems it may take awhile until she grows up so I’ll hold off on this story for now. But I did like how she was getting her revenge!

Generation's Queen Ling

Ongoing | Tutu | 2000 released

Complete at 124 chs, and holy fucking shit, this story blew my expectations out of the window. THIS WAS AMAZING, surprised it’s a manhua bc fr it’s even better than most Manhwas. This story was fleshed out so well, the scheming, politics, manipulation and plot twists were drawn out so well I was invested from start to finish. Just when I thought I understood a character I get slapped in the face with a plot twist. Crazy, I ended up doubting everyone and not trusting anyone. Characters I liked in the beginning of the story ended up being the worst scum…and then the characters I hated the most in the beginning (ahem emperor) turned out to be one of the best noble characters I had ever seen in a Manhwa ever. Romance really took the back burner in the story but I was so invested in the plot I didn’t mind at all, as much as I love a love trumiphs all story…when you’re a ruler of a whole nation it’s not realistic that the emperor would give up everything, his power and people for love. So I really liked how even tho the leads loved each other they both knew their goal of peace was bigger than that, and even bigger than their love. If they both had to pick between love or peace Ik they would pick peace. And that’s how you know they’re both good rulers who truly care about their people. What a beautiful story. It’s one of those story you wish you could read for the first time all over again and feel all the emotions and surprise you felt the first time. 100000/10 story
