I'm Engaged to an Obsessive Male Lead

Ongoing | Shuroop | 2019 released

hmm, well… i’m not too sure how i should be reviewing this one. the first 50-ish chapters had me completely hooked! i found it quite refreshing and overall enjoyable a vast majority of the time. (quite likable characters, these ones!!!) however, the author kinda lost me a bit after that. like, what was even going on after that point?? and once the story was finally over, there were still so many unanswered questions and plot holes that were necessary in order to get a sense of closure. man, i really don’t know anymore… i genuinely liked the male lead and daddy archduke throughout the story, though. as well as blunt bestie dorel!!! undiagnosed ADHD squad assemble, lololol. <33 our female lead had some interesting moments as well, but some of the decisions she made during the latter half of the story made me seriously question her sanity at times. :| it was such a mess. i was also somewhat disappointed to realize that our supposed yandere male lead never went into yandere mode with our gal veillyn. ;_; i was really looking forward to that aspect of the story, too... jellard has such yandere potential!!! oh, well. i suppose that’s a good thing, after all—knowing how jellard never ever felt THAT kind of insecurity with himself, nor their relationship. i love how it was mostly based on trust and respect from the very start! the fact that he never felt the need to ‘disregard’ her emotional or physical well-being in order to sate his own desperate need for control and domination says a whole lot about how secure he felt with her. honestly, it appeared to me as if he never even had such depraved thoughts about her in the first place! the jellard from the original novel ceased to exist when they met, it’d seem. all that goes to prove just how every single person you meet will know a version of you that no one else ever will. i honestly love that! nothing is written in stone. circumstances, behavior and intent can affect so much of a person’s fate.

Extra Doesn't Want to be Overly Obsessed

Ongoing | Glize,Pareto | 2021 released

lmfao, fucking hilarious! i’ve absolutely loved every minute of this manhwa. AMAZING dynamics between our two soul companions, too, ohmigosh!!! whatever the hell it was supposed to be (?), it just kept getting better and better by the minute. i really have no complaints in that regard. personally, i’m extraordinarily weak to these kinds of couple dynamics. i much prefer any obviously teasing tones (since it shows great chemistry) with easygoing conversation flow over any so called ‘stereotypical gushing’ about how amazing the other person is, as well as traditional clichés we so very often see within these types of stories. relationships like this—with a foundation based on honesty, humor and friendship—lays such great groundwork for both healthy communication and intimacy!!! i can’t stress ENOUGH just how much fun i’ve had reading about these two and their weird shenanigans. 10/10 would recommend. in my own experience (???), relationships like caelus & amelia’s often end up being among the very best ones—mostly because they’re develop naturally and remain fluid. besties in love are open and transparent about their thoughts and feelings with each other. they aren’t afraid to express themselves or ‘make mistakes’ in front of each others like lovers often to. there aren’t much room for misunderstandings either, because they already have a solid foundation of complete trust in each other. no matter the circumstance, they’re just being themselves when they’re together 100% of the time, and man, i’m ALL for it!!! bestie dynamics are the best, frfr. best duo!!! but man, we really need more of these side stories… i’ve literally spent the whole day binging this and i have absolutely ZERO regrets about it. a perfect way to spend the day, if you ask me! and i’d do it again, too. for what it’s worth, i’ll 100% be rereading this someday. hopefully soon! P.S. i find it kinda hilarious how we started out with such overbearing yandere vibes from ALLLLL directions, yet still ended up with the most wholesome relationships possible with said yandere characters, omfg. i only wish there’d been more side stories with out main couple, but oh well.

If you don't do it, you can't go out?!

FUUUUCK, HE’S HOT. that was some sexy ass smut, goddamn. it’s a shame the manhwa’s so freakin’ short, though. :(

There's No Hope for Winter

Ongoing | Woo hyoin,Latree | 2022 released

aww, this is super sweet!!! it’s 100% wholesome, romantically drama-free, and i’m so HEREEEE for all the fluffy duffy stuff. <33 the only reason i’m giving it 4/5 stars is because of the unrealistic behaviors in the characters’ respective work fields. like, why is a FREAKIN’ PROSECUTOR going undercover, trying to capture an unknown ‘bad guy’ instead of special agents or the police force? and WHY is daeun even on these missions, bruh?! also, just HOW is a drama episode being televised the minute they’re done shooting it? make it make sense, please. ;_; other than all that jazz, i’m really enjoying myself! they’re such an adorable couple, omfg.
