Ongoing | 이에프 | 2019 released

ch 108 (also on webtoons) completed, overall this was much better than I had originally expected! I like how it was more “mature” than other romance stories in the sense I felt like conflict and characters were more fleshed out and felt more realistic and original. Like it felt they had more personality to them than just being a plot device…I mean eh sometimes. I mean at times I felt like the purpose of the 2nd ML was solely to make the main leads closer…and although everyone in the comments on webtoon hated the 2nd ML, IDC I LOVED THAT MOTHERFUCKER. Maybe I’m a sucker bc I always feel bad for the childhood friend but DAYAM I always feel so bad the person who was there since the beginning never wins, oh hell be still my heart. And tbh I didn’t like the way the FL treated him at times. Like she literally said “hey if you have feelings for me we can’t be friends” and then proceeds to get mad at him for avoiding her like BRUH WHAT DID YOU EXPECT??? and the fact when reflecting on his past relationships the FL realized she never felt jelaous bc the 2nd ML always put her first anyways so like okay what that sounds like is you’re okay when it benefits you even tho you know you contributed in ruining his relationships at times, but when it’s reversed then it’s like oh he’s annoying?? Bruh idk I just feel bad for the 2nd ML, ILLL TAKE HIM INSTEAD sighhhh~ but imma be a hypocrite here and also say I like the FL’s personality as well. Heheh we need more emotionless Kundere FLs, hehe I liked it when she teased the ML and got him all blushy blushy. And yes I don’t hate the ML either I mean cmon he’s a cute simp puppy dog for the FL, I couldn’t possibly hate it. And I really like the character development of Blackcherry, we all hated her at first coz she was a villain but after she got confronted by the FL, it seemed she really reflected on herself and wanted to do better, and she did. And by the end I was stanning her. Really interesting how the author gave good character to even a side character, very well done. Oh my heart, I do love all the characters . Ahem aside from the main characters tho I also like how the author really fleshes out the conflict idols face with drama and press. How one small thing can spiral into a huge thing when the media takes wind of it…and how it takes a lot to work through issues like this as a couple in the spotlight. It’s not easy. And I especially like the conflict arc with the FL’s “manipulative” friend. I like how the author didn’t paint that friend as a one dimensional villain but more so like as the story discussed it as “a difference in personality”. Sure the conflict between the FL and they friend stemmed from a differnce in personality, but I like how the author still pointed to the core issue of that being empathy. Yes ppl with diff personality may not get along due to these difference in interest but they may still work through these problems together if each side have empathy for the other…which that manipulative friend lacked. It was interesting how the author also included another one of the FL’s friend to portray how a a good empathic friend should be. That way as the reader we could easily see the parallel and differences between the empathic friend and the friend that didn’t have that. Furthermore, the side couple was really cute too! I’m glad they were able to work things out at the end! They’re all cute! Overall, I’d say this was a good read! And the art style is unique too!

Ch 37, I am pleasantly surprised by how much I like this! I was a little hesitant to read this at first bc it’s by the same author as Sica Wolf and tbh I didn’t like Sica Wolf that much so …ya know…but this story is actually pretty amazing! I’m much more invested in this couple and as a matter a fact all the characters are all interesting in their own right, what I think sets this story apart from all other stories is really how the author goes about the characters’ character development. Whereas most stories it’s like the FL will be abused and naive in their first life and then all of a sudden they get regressed or transmigrated and all of a sudden they’re badass and smart witted…whereas it’s truly not realistic to have that big of character change in such a sort amount of time. So I’m glad I’m this story we actually get to see the FL struggle a bit with changing her mentality and I feel like as the readers it’s really cool that we kinda get to go through her character development together. And not only that even the character development of the side characters are really good! The pink haired friend of the FL is also going from her usually prideful self and now learning to be more humble. I really like it. As for the ML, I quite like him as well, but damn Ik the 2nd ML, the wizard is gonna hit hard. He’s so sweet, it’s a real shame he’s not the ML. And apparntly I saw from bato comments that in Sica Wolf, that 2nd ML is still pinning for the FL knowing he’ll never get her . Really interesting that this story takes place during the same timeline as Sica Wolf, so the characters from this story also make cameo appearances in Sica Wolf. But damn the art in this story is so much better, thank you artist nim. In Sica Wolf, they made the ML for this story look so ugly. So glad he got justice here, yay for heterchomia men~

Ch 19, very intrigued by this story. The FL seems to have a good head on her shoulders and the ML is exactly what I thought he’d be, a crazy pyscho yandere…but somehow I’m still attracted to it ahhhhh~ touch her and you die is my favorite Yandere troupe sooo ya know~ but can’t wait to see more of them!

There's No Friendship Between the Grand Duke and the Marquis

Ongoing | Tiba,Yell yell | 2019 released

Ch 31, SQEUELLLL THEY FINALLY GOT TOGETHER AWWWW~ gosh this was all fluff and I throughly enjoyed it! Even as kids these two had better communication than most adults in these types of stories! And I love how it doesn’t take her forver to see his feelings, lke our girl is smart she did notice his kind gestures. And then how the two were opening with being honest about their feelings to each other and confessing DAWWWWW~ poor 2nd ML, he’s cute too but our ML has been grinding for this love since day one. Sad the prince didn’t have a chance, too late and tbh I liked the pacing of this story a lot! To others it may seem too fast but I’m glad it didn’t take 80+ chs for them to grow up or take another 40+ for the long distance arc. Everything felt like it happened at a good pace, I likey! Cant wait to see what happens next with these two! The ML and FL are both so cute!!! And the ML is definitely husband material ahhh she’s so lucky, get you a man who’s obsessed with you and respects your thoughts! And honestly I’m digging the characters designs of the characters. I mean the ML is kinda basic but I’m digging the FL’s two toned color hair, I thought it was just red at first but there’s a splash of yellow in it as well and I’m really digging it, her and her twin brother look so cool!

The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly

Ongoing | Ramgle,Kakon | 2019 released

Ch 21 (read on https://scyllascans.org/work/en/the_tyrant_wants_to_live_a_virtuous_life) and damn why was this story actually so heavy and sad. a FL who ended up being a tyrant in her first life just bc she wanted to be loved. Fuck her father man, some ppl really don’t deserve to be parents. I hope she really cuts him off, he doesn’t deserve her. As for her brother Ik he doesn’t have bad intentions but I just find him very annoying. There’s nothing more annoying than a naive clueless idealist. He’s not blind, and it’s not like his father hides his distain for his sister…so shouldn’t he be able to see how he might make the FL feel uncomfortable being that he’s hoggin all the love from their father? He just keeps pushing and chasing after her even after she just tells him to leave her alone bc she feel uncomfortable. And the fact he always cries and turns the tables to make her look like the villain…I’m sorry but I don’t like him. Sometimes Ignornat kindnesss is painful as well. Lowkey I hope he matures and if not I just hope she cuts him off too. As for the MLs, I really hope it’s the white haired guy. It was so painful watching her beg for the black haired guy’s love in the first timeline. I hope she learns to value herself more. Man I haven’t cried so hard by a story lately.

Sarang and Pyeonggang's Ondal

Ongoing | 한기주,일 | 2019 released

Complete at ch 80, also called threads of love on webtoon. AND DAMNN AHHHH SUCH AN UNDERRATED GEM. It’s so hard to find a reverse harem where you root for literally everyone but DAYAM tho I love all the male leads…shit my heart hurts so much for Dal, the grey haired boy bc like damn i always feel more for the ones who’ve loved since long ago…and I even feel bad for the cute gym teacher bc he’s puppy and he was so pure and passionate in his lvoe for her. Ik why she ended up with the black haired guy bc only they could truly understand eqch othet but damn I feel so bad for our second male leads. I almost wish she could’ve ended up with all three of them. I did like the second couple as well even tho I was a bit fustrated at times like JUST GET TOGERHWR ALRWADY I do understand they’re teenagers and puberty and all so it can be harder to communicate honestly. But I do like how the cousin was able to be mature even while figuring out her own love affairs. Ahhh I love them all!

I Only Treat Villains

Ongoing | Moon Sihyun,Goyaa, 고야 | 2000 released

Ch 24, I’m so intrigued by this story but the translations are shit. Can barely understand what’s going on half the time which sucks bc this is such a good story to get ruined by shitty translations. Also, we haven’t gotten introduced to the other MLs yet but damn I like the day time ML rn, he’s so cute and innocent. Like sure the night time ML is sexy but I have a soft spot for soft MLs and he’s so cute in glasses. I wish he got more screen time coz I feel like we always see her interact with the night time ML, but I’d much rather see blue eyed glasses cutie himbo ML~

Ch 27, this is a really good one! Finally one where the FL actually runs away and ppl who took her for granted are actually losing their minds looking for her. Tbh I was really scared this was gonna be a story where the ppl who wronged her get forgiveness but according to spoilers this has a satisfactory ending. I feel so much for the FL tho, she’s tried so hard to please ppl to get affection and it’s so sad that ppl only cared about her after she forced herself to change. I’m glad even tho ppl started to treat her better she never forgets how they once treated her like dirt before. I’m glad she ends up finding happiness. She deserves it after all she’s been through
