the mc is transported back in time where he meets one of the masters of classical music before he became one. i really thought this was going to be a very stereotypical story with all the fun cringe that comes with one, but this is so so rare and special in the way it handles societal issues and grows from just a story about romance to one about the tragedy of human nature and the times past. way better than i expected and it just keeps getting better.

mc ends up in his sister's otome game in the body of a minor side villain. this story is a fun read due to all the tropes and cliches but it honeslty doesn't have much going in terms of substance in the romance! the premise of the story is so fun and the mc is likable so you keep reading but im really hoping the next season has some developments with the mls.

let me preface this by saying that any story with multiple love interests is going to be controversial. this high school story about a guy with a massive crush on his classmate is no exception. i enjoyed the endgame couple, but i know many didn't--i would still encourage people who love that cute artstyle drama filled type of story because this has DRAMA. the end was very rushed but the story was hella good around the middle and i liked all of the leads, which is rare af

this story about a guy who leaves his gangster family x a member of said gang assigned to watch him is so good because of its characters. they are brilliant and fun, their dynamic is fresh, and the art is good, but i found the plot of this kind of lacking. it felt like if the plotlines or characters were slightly more developed outside of their romance, this story could have been way better than it already is, and it's a good story.
