Saving the Villain Who was Abandoned by the Female Lead

Ongoing | Yeon-bi,Yeonjae-jung | 2020 released

haha, this is definitely NOT what i expected! daddy can kill me and step on my corpse any day and i’d thank him. my fucking GOOOOOD, he’s so hot. older brother #1 slays, too. and so does our MC, by the way!!! older brother #2 is so fucking cute i could cry, omfg. this thing’s so depressingly wholesome, i swear… i know said statement makes little-to-no sense, but that’s what i’m getting from it. paradoxical, but entertaining! i support this soon-to-be-relationship, too!! i hope she’ll remain with the family, though. (in name, i mean. i think she just might. fingers crossed!) i’m loving the dynamics and the ever-so-present moral dilemmas as well! but hey, these guys better survive… all of ‘em!!! or i’ll be genuinely upset. i mean, no one’s perfect… but they’re still a family. or at least they’re finally on the road of becoming one! (albeit a strange one, but that isn’t really relevant.)

Contract Romance For An Ending

Ongoing | Mola | 2000 released

woooow. this is a lot more melancholic than i thought it’d be! excellent writing and emotional complexity. i’m genuinely surprised. i figured it’d be a wholesome, friends-to-lovers type of story, but THIS!!! this is turning out to be an unexpected—albeit fascinating—plot with an intriguing outcome! i’m truly looking forward to reading more of this. i have no doubt it’ll have a good finish once we’ve reached the end of the road at some point in the future. great, realistic character development, too! the way certain emotional elements and themes are being depicted in this story is extremely thorough and well thought-out. perfect portrayal of everything from depression to heartache to neglect—even the narcissism hits the nail on the head! whoever created these characters has an excellent understanding of psychology and the human psyche in general, i think. and to top things off, the art itself is nice and very expressive. overall, i’ve got zero complaints! update: it’s been a couple of weeks by now, and the story has finally been marked as ‘complete’. first of all, my original opinion hasn’t really changed since my initial commentary! it’s been an overall nice read, and i’d be interested in looking up any of the creator’s other works. (if there are any.) second of all, despite all this… ‘emotional turbulence’, if you will, i’m pleased with the ending, pacing and general development. it’d be nice with a short side story or something of the like as well! just to finish things off properly. that’d be the the cherry on top. :)

The Perfect Ending Plan of a Fairy Tale Villainess

Ongoing | 피치파이 | 2019 released

goddamn. that’s pretty freakin’ dark. i’m loving it, though!!! i appreciate that there’s plenty of room left for some proper character development… especially for richard, surprisingly! i think that’ll turn out to be quite interesting. (i’m making the assumption that he’ll end up being an important character later on.) although, it’s a shame that the translations aren’t exactly ‘up to par’, but it’s still manageable. i’ll be wishing for some decent improvement in that department at some point down the line… however futile such fantasies might be. either way, i’m excited to keep going! i just hope there won’t be too much of all the… unnecessary drama, if you catch my drift. i’m way too impatient for that stuff, sheesh.

Love So Pure

Complete | PlanB | 2000 released

this is… kinda genius, actually. excellent writing! never thought i’d enjoy it this much, to be frank with you. it’s freakin’ HILARIOUS. i kid you not, i’ve been cackling all morning. this is something i never knew i needed. it’s weird, but oh, so fucking good!!! surprisingly unique, too. you never know what to expect, that’s for sure! i LOVE all these characters as well!!! especially yosef and four-eyes; they’re such a wild and fun combination. daeshik has OFFICIALLY become my new spirit animal. what an icon. #legend still, these two are actually SOMEHOW managing to make ME feel embarrassed. that’s a feat in itself. i mean ACTUALLY FUCKING EMBARRASSED, y'all. sighhh, so hot. once again: it’s really fucking wild, though—i can tell you that much. i don’t even know what else to say. i’ll repeat: GENIUS. WRITING. and i’m loving every minute of it, too! this manhwa’s definitely definitely DEFINITELY going on my list of favorites. 10/10, would recommend. <33 (R.I.P. my undies, tho… the smut is top-tier quality, that’s fo sho.) but man, i genuinely regret not taking any screenshots. (was probably too wrapped up in the story to remember doing so, sheesh.) there are soooo many memorable moments, and i still laugh—even now—whenever i think about ‘em, lol. even though i literally JUST binged this whole thing in, like, a couple hours. pre-nostalgia, maybe one could call it?? it’s stupid, but kinda true nonetheless. #yolo. i’m looking forward to season 3 like you wouldn’t believe. <33 i adore these characters. talk about originality, lmfao. (character wise, that is.) so freakin’ obsessed with this!!! i’ll probably end up rereading it pretty soon, too. (to take a whole bunch of screenshots and savor my favorite moments, if nothing else.) edit: i CANNOT. FUCKING. BELIEVE… how goddamn adorable these couples are. like, the fuck?? how??? anyway, i’m still obsessed with this manhwa. season three is so wholesome. <33 daeshik and yosef is THE. ACTUAL. BEST. couple out there, fr. love the transparency and authenticity of their relationship. gaaaawd, i’m still obsessed! edit #2: ahhh, it’s finally all wrapped up. <33 this last season was such a well-needed boost of extra wholesomeness, love and personal growth, and it’s just… such an overall nice way of ending a story with this many essential characters in it. it’s been such a wild ride, but a great one nonetheless! that’s all i can really say at this point. #blessed

The Persimmon Secretary

Ongoing | 퀀퀀 | 2019 released

haha, well, this is new! meh, kind of. i don’t really know what else to say other than the fact that these people are SO. FREAKIN’. WHOLESOME. TOGETHER. like, DUDE!!! my god, it’s been awhile since i read such a feel-good comic. heh, it’s sweet and lovely and the art is gorgeous and the development is nice and im overall pleased. <33 edit: absolutely LOVED the bonus chapters, too! they really tied the whole thing together.

The Lady's Law of Survival

Ongoing | Irim,Yeyoung,Yumyum | 2019 released

my god, this seriously fucking EPICCCC!!! which i expected, in all fairness, knowing that this is the same creator as the maker of ‘miss not-so sidekick’—which is also a personal favorite of mine. but oh my god, i freakin’ LOVE lukila. <33 she’s strong and wonderful and clever and committed and just full-on admirable. rafel is a great character, too. he’s pretty much a prefect specimen of a man, omfgggg. and the two princes—especially yuri—both hold a piece of my heart. great characters! honestly, it kinda makes me want to reread ‘miss not-so sidekick’ again. it brings back all them good memories. just the art-style itself makes the whole atmosphere feel both reminiscent and content to me. i welcome this feeling. <33 but i don’t want to undermine this amazing story by comparing it to said OTHER story too much… ‘cause this one’s pretty damn excellent all on its own. excited to see how things’ll turn out for her and her boys, too!!! she’ll definitely become a knight, though. i mean, come on…! she HAS to. with that being said, this is a solid 10/10! you go, author. edit: goddamn, it’s already over. :( this was such a good read, though!!! i love this creator and their lovely, ethereal art-style. gosh, it’s gorgeous. i’m super excited for their next work!!! (i expect there’ll be more at some point, yes? i certainly hope so.)

Incidentally Dyed By Spring's Love

Complete | Chepali,Park Jiyeon | 2000 released

Sica Wolf Webtoon

Complete | Siya,Coin | 2000 released

this is spectacular!!! goddamn, that was such a good read. overall loving these dynamics. <33 their bond is just so fucking precious, my god. i love them. (i’m low-key tearing up from all the sweetness, too… which is a weird, new sensation.) either way, i was enthralled! kept me up for way longer than it should’ve, too. i’ll probably reread it someday as well; there’s not a lot of room for any doubt there. unfortunately, though, i’ll probably forget a lot of things i’ve just been reading… as it’s honestly not all that memorable on an emotional level. and i also didn’t take a lot of screenshots like i normally would, so i kind of regret that in retrospect… however!!! i’ll try me best to recall how much i appreciate these characters and how wholesome this comic has made me feel. a pleasant escape from reality! (plus, it’s a storyline i haven’t really seen before. that’s a certain bonus!) normally, i would’ve written more of an extensive review, but i honestly don’t know what else to say. i just loved it. and it’s nice having been able to binge it effortlessly in a relatively short amount of time! P.S. karsus is just the most precious, most lovable thing i’ve ever seen. <33 or guy, meh. well, one of ‘em, at least!!! (THIS WAS NECESSARY TO ADD, DON’T @ ME.)

Listen Attentively

Ongoing | Qing shu,Lan jin,Xiao yun | 2019 released

honestly, words can’t even express the amount of adoration i hold for this story. i adore it, every single THING about it. i legit want to cry right now from how moved i feel... it’s one of the purest, most wholesome stories i’ve read in a long while; i’ve literally got chills all over. (i feel blessed.) it’s not something i expected. i’m so glad i didn’t pass this by. oh, how i could’ve missed out on something great… ugh, gus and charles deserve the world. i wish i could give it to them. i have no idea how it’ll end, but i’m praying, PRAYING (please note that i’m actually a nihilist) for a happy ending for these two. i have an inkling i won’t be disappointed, but i won’t make any assumptions. you never know! in any case, can’t believe i’m actually writing this with tears in my eyes, lol. perhaps i’m really heading into another mental breakdown or something... this is the second time i’ve lost it in two goddamn days. like, the fuck? this truly doesn’t happen to me anymore. it hadn’t in a long time. at least that confirm i’m not a psychopath, i guess. now i’m actually full-on sobbing, give me a minute. … update: wow. i can’t believe it’s already over. first of all, this is 100% one of the best manhuas i’ve read, i swear to fucking GOD. i honestly don’t know if i’ve ever been as emotionally invested in any fictional characters (in the world of MANHUA, that is) as i’ve been invested in these two and their respective journeys. seriously, such a beautiful story! their love story actually turned me into an emotional wreck more than once, lol. still, i loved every single moment of it! gorgeous, gorgeous writing. and such wonderful progression, too… really, i’ve got no complaints. would’ve loved for the comic to be longer than it was, but it wasn’t lacking in any way or anything… i suppose i’ll just miss these guys. they both deserve the world. thank you, author, for creating this lovely piece of work.
