He lied to her about being poor. She is going to wake up in a fancy hotel room. This idiot.
Also kinda bummed he kissed her when she was drunk would've been hotter if he was more of a green flag and didn't do anything to her when she was drunk but was straining himself. It's hot if they kiss but it's hotter if he's more considerate in regards to her and her feelings for me personally.
The author simultaneously wants the FL to be weak, hated and abused but also have her be darling, cute, sweet, smart, beautiful and loved by all. They keep talking about how great she is but.... she hasn't even done anything to warrant it? Other than just being a decent person. Like none of her medicines have proven to be effective (the audience knows it it because magic<medicine because this isn't a fantasy story) neither has she done some grand gesture (you could say that her trusting and trying to treat that one dude who tried to harm/SA immediately after she was saved is admirable but that just felt dumb because immediately after he tried to stab her and then ML ended up getting stabbed). FL is also getting her ass-kissed by every "good" character like her handmaid and ML and every character that doesn't like her i.e. her sister are deemed evil reprehensible monsters with no motive other than vanity and hatered towards FL which is fine but I guess I was kinda expecting more from the premise other than what we got so far. Also war general ML should've had some scars would've been hotter and added to the battleworn scary man look they were going for because out of context he just looks like pretty anime boy number 37. (btw I'm not sure if I'm nitpicking or if this is accurate but weren't guys from this time period not supposed to cut their hair because it was seen as disrespectful to your parents to cut off a part of your body that they blessed you with). It's just a genetic "weak" "low self esteem" "abused " and "demeaned" mary sue that was hated gets with a hot hunk of man and everyone sees how perfect she is or else they're evil.
The lead is an idol/actor who is a brat. His sex tape gets leaked he gets harassed for not only being a dick but also gay. His boss/contract guy (they have an implied sexual/romantic thing but it's more power and control than romance) leaves him and fires him after a nastry fan interaction leads him to getting facial scars. Then he dies and goes back in time from some magic from his fortune telling mom/grandma (I don't remember) who is dead.
He goes back in time leaves his agency and his boss, is nicer to his agent, the guy who was in his sex tape was a big boss to a different company and whose family visited the fortunetelling lady for business advice also he's the main love interest. The main guy is a uke with brown hair and the love interest has black hair. The MC has a plot about starring in a crime/mystery show that was a big hit in the OG timeline.
Trap is considered an offensive term by trans people as it implies the trans person is attempting to deceive others and "trap" them
Everyone clap for the artist for rendering and illustrating the apple in this chapter so beautifully instead of using a 3D model which we would've forgiven but I'm so grateful look at that paint job. Beautiful.
Guys I know everyone hates Jaekyung everytime I leave and come and check the most recent comments on the mangago homepage it's everyone hating on Jaekyung in the season 2 premiere (as they should) but dear lord I could not have imagined the magnitude of people that would be wanting to see this man suffer. There's always a new reader that just found out that it's back and is delighted at this man's misery
Dear god he became even more pathetic and more a whiny little bitch. I usually like pathetic self-obsessed bullies with egos so fragile they'd snap like a potato chip but Jaekyung is just too violent and arrogant and hasn't snapped and realized what a chump he is and has a long way to go before he's ever close to the standard of greatness he wants to be. He's gonna be miserable more I hope it lasts longer than all the Doc Dan disrespect combined and it's not just 3 or 10 chapters and then wow Dan is back and Jaekyung is only slightly less awful.
Jigu is a an emo tsundere dumbass and Yeowoon essentially has the personality of a harem protagonist similar to the uke from our sunny days.
Villainess reincarnation manhwa where the villainess had dark pink eyes and white hair. She had the OG ML be trapped and her slave also she wore a mask while visiting his trapped house. ML has yellow eyes and black hair and he kinda liked being her slave so when she lets him go he's upset. He then becomes emperor and asks her to marry him. There was some stuff about how he wanted to reverse their roles as master and slave. She started dream hopping before I stopped reading also she had nail polish on that matched her eyes
Aside from the coincidental meetings after the intial AC chapters it doesn't really feel like a BL and more like an online MMORPG story. I don't think I'm even close to seeing them meet and I keep getting teased by the coincidental IRL meetings. I don't know if it's my low patience or attention span but this feels like it's dragging as we keep doing side quests in the game (the pvp, the levelling up, the events) irrelevant to the main relationship. I don't know if when the romance starts the MMORPG elements will fade into the background and all these chapters become pointless or if it's going to stay relevant throughout. It all just feels like meaningless fluff and the only connecting throughline is the hacker element
This is not only good unvensored BDSM smut but also a good psuedo-historical european josei. The power dynamics are kept pretty balanced when they are doing it as the dom was a lower ranking noblewomen originally and the sub is the crown prince who is essentially an obsessive yandere sub who wants the best for his dom/wife. Courteny Devon's noble count family is in financial strife and debt as her father is weak willed and always getting caught up in frauds and scams, her mother loves pretending they still have the wealth prescribed to their title along with wanting to use money they don't have to be trendy, her brother is a gambler with plenty of debt, her sister in law is a crybaby who's head over heels for her brother, the only person she actually likes in her family is her sweet, smart, nephew Edvard(this is how they spell it). She often scolds, beats and berated their foolishness publicly giving her quite the reputation that the crown prince has become smitten with. He believes she is the Master/Dom for him and he pays off her family's debt and makes her family comfortable (which she dislikes because she feels indebted to him and responsible to pay it back). They keep most of their dom/sub stuff in the bedroom and they're a pretty standard pair outside of it as Courtney is still a responsible and mature person with a lot of feelings and Richard(crown prince) loves/obsesses over her dearly and will do anything to make sure she's comfortable and happy he willl also kill anyone that insults or hurts her. They are both intially virginal so the playing field is even. She actually really like being a dom but she doesn't have the strength or endurance for hitting. The dichotomy between the characters in the bedroom/private vs publicly has that gap moe.
Courtney is a really funny character with lots of WTF reactions to the people around her's insane bullshit. There are lots of moments of her outside the BDSM scenes.
I was intially offput by my first read as one of the first things I saw was a huge uncensored penis being stepped on. Seeing this I assumed it would be a generic smut-fest where the two leads only like each other because they think the other is hot and it's loose plot with mostly smut. I also assumed there would be a weird power imbalance where one of them is an asshole and the other likes it which makes me think that they both suck and deserve each other (but not in the fun way in the "I'm so glad these two are out of the dating pool")
Same artist as "Spring Amidst My Wintertide" and "Duchess's lewd invitation"(hate the plot of that one). So hunky guys, hour glass women and shiny bodies. The tits are glossy even in the non smut scenes. The art is decent.
Plot was kinda halted by the bdsm scenes because realizing that this is all season kinda left me wanting more plot in exchange for less smut but I also know those are when the characters really connect and get what they want from each other(courtney gets control and power and richard gets someone to be mean to him and hurt him and they both thoroughly enjoy themselves). All I can say is I can't wait for more and I am docking a star for making me want more plot and then letting me know things are gonna get worse/stressful.
