Real Honest Romance Fantasy Reviews

being a big fan of a genre that is mostly wish fulfillment is suffering when u are a Story Enjoyer like myself. however i am also a big fan of being a hater. this is my Real Honest Otome Isekai (and other romance fantasy genres) Diary.

things i consider:
 is there an underlying theme to the work?
 do the characters undergo change?
 is the male lead simply an accessory purse chihuahua to the female lead?
 is the translation good? is the artstyle nice?
 etc etc

2/5

pros/
+ satisfying revenge wish fulfillment
+ i like it when main chara is strong in the battlefield

When The Count’s Illegitimate Daughter Gets Married

 9.3(215 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): 랏슈
Genre(s): Webtoons / Josei / Shoujo / Drama / Fantasy / Historical /

2/5

pros/
+ interesting start; an unwanted daughter gets sent to marry a traitorous duke
+ the first arc is them learning to cohabitate, which i am a sucker for

cons:
+ familial abuse was really over the top, like woah
+ family confrontation nonexistent so the climax of that conflict fell so flat
+ after the first arc concluded, story lost all steam and basically became a slice of life except without the charm of having to survive alone together. boo

Carnephelia's Curse is Never Ending

 9.2(740 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): Sookjoo,Pisal
Genre(s): Webtoons / Shoujo / Fantasy

2/5

pros/
+ main chara design slays like the black hime cut??? cute
+ i like the burgeoning mother/daughter relationship developing

cons/
+ the melodrama makes it hard to take the political schemes seriously; like why does the emperor get emotional and angry at the main chara’s insolence? why is she so scared of main villain when he hasn’t really done anything of note to get in the way of her schemes? the entire plot revolves around politics and it falls a lil flat

Ongoing
Author(s): 리사벨,연 제중,Yooani,솔
Genre(s): Webtoons / Josei / Adventure / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy / Historical / Romance

3/5

pros/
+ cute and pretty artwork and the fashion is solid!
+ doting family wish fulfillment done cutely
+ interesting mystery pulling plot forward… pacing isn’t too boring

cons/
+ family a little too doting perhaps lol like the father only has backstory that makes the daughter more endearing to him and the brother is basically just an accessory that exists only to love the mc… a bit boring

What can a LIST do?
