I Got Married To A Villain
goddamn, i completely forgot about this one. i’m happy it’s back, though! edit post-completion: well, it’s been a pretty sweet book! predictable, but sweet nonetheless. there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it, though… however, a fairly decent read. ;)
Memoir Of The King Of War
this is just… freakin’ GORGEOUS. my god, i’m so in love. not just with our heavenly artillery general, dan sa yu… but the general atmosphere and the art in itself as well. it’s all gorgeous. i can’t wait to truly immerse myself in this! i’m only just starting out, after all. it’s most certainly going to be epic. edit: the fact that i’m literally holding in sobs by the end of each damn chapter at TWO IN THE MORNING… should tell you lots. dude, this is seriously incredible stuff. what a character he is. dan sa yu pretty much ‘rivaling’ sung jinwoo in regards to his serene, indifferent type energy that is just so FREAKIN’ ATTRACTIVE. he’s almost rivaling him in power, too. this is my favorite thing in the whole wide world, this power-trippy manhwa trope. it’s genius.
The Healing Priest of the Sun
‘the healing solaris cleric’ on tapas!
Villainess Maker
oh my god, i love this so much. talk about a literal power-couple!!! they’re literally freakin’ GODS, bro. and the sexual tension between them always kept me on my toes, too! such beautiful artistry… and complexity. win-win! but, in any case, i adore them to death. <33 this review ended up being way shorter than i think it deserves, but i’m weirdly busy right now, and my mind’s kinda drawing a blank at that. but just know that this one will DEFINITELY be reread by yours truly one day! i low-key miss them already, lol. i loved these characters.
Damn Reincarnation
well, i’ll be damned. it’s different from my expectations… but i’m not too sure whether that’s a good or bad thing just yet. honestly, at first, i didn’t really like the art. some of it felt… ‘disproportional’, if you will. the thirteen year old eugene looked like an eight year old bodybuilder with waaaay too large hands. (that goes for his family members, too.) but now that they’re all significantly older—albeit still in their late teens—i can’t say i’m particularly bothered by their ‘bodily proportions’ at all anymore, haha. but i’m enjoying the story’s overall progression thus far, though! i kinda struggled with his rough, sort of arrogant personality at first, but the more i get to know and understand him, the more i appreciate and respect his character. it’s intriguing! and, either way, i’m excited to continue on this journey.
Cheerful Countess Sisters
god, these sisters and their respective relationships are so freakin’ wholesome!!! loving the overall dynamics here. and i appreciate the fact that the ‘hardcore’ sister fell head over heels first and got all lovey-dovey with her hubby before ‘the main sister’ did. it wasn’t something i expected, but it was refreshing and a nice change of pace nonetheless! these couples, y’all… aaaand, as the great sandor clegane once said: “fuck the king.” i’m so happy he finally dropped the issue, my god!!! it was tiring me out like crazy. i’m not gonna lie, though—i quite liked his ‘change’ and the brothers’ final resolution. i literally thought it’d end in a bloodbath. so happy that wasn’t the case! since i’m more of a diplomatic problem-solver myself, this is 100% a win in my book. forgiveness and redemption wins. <33
