Resetting Lady
holy SHIT, this is dark… a raging psychopath’s dream!!! probably one of the more vicious and twisted stories i’ve read this far—which should say a lot, given the amount of books i’ve read these past couple of years. sheesh… haha, i genuinely didn’t expect this! she’s legit morphed into a whole ass serial killer!!! wooow. oh, and i have absolute ZERO trust in any and every single one of these characters, too—for very good reason, i’d say. they’re clearly all ‘involved’ in some way or the other, it’d seem. i’m curious to see where this goes! P.S. goddammit, how the hell will this END, though?! i mean, there’s literally NOTHING predictable about it… uh, just… whoa. excellent writing and stunning art, too! (can’t forget to add that part.)
Death Row Boy
My In-laws are Obsessed With Me
ahhhh, this is so good!!! i’m absolutely loving the family dynamics here. it’s not just any basic, dramatic romance story; it actually has some real substance to it! there are so many great aspects here as well—not just in regards to human complexity and emotional depth, but in character development, too. excellent, excellent writing! god, i can’t wait for the day they’ll finally become a ‘real’ family—not just one on paper. i’m excited for the future!
Who Stole Empress
The East Wind of the Altas
ohhh, this is interesting! i’m loving it so far, despite this weak, unnecessarily short review—believe it or not. i’m too tired and my brain can’t seem to function properly at the moment, so i might have to come back another time for some more ‘deserving’ commentary.
The Predatory Marriage Between the King and the Paladin
welp… i have mixed feelings about this one. it’s as wholesome as it is fucked up. ahhh, how wonderfully paradoxical! i quite appreciated the art and that almost ‘ethereal’ feel to it… but the actual plot itself was kinda underwhelming and felt flat. at least during the more important parts of the story… there wasn’t a lot of emotional depth. it would’ve been nice to see more clear progression of events and their relationship. i mean, i get it… but it’s still disappointing. i originally wanted to give this a 3/5 star rating, but i ended up giving it 4/5 because i didn’t want to condemn the art like that… hah. oh well, lol! it was an intercity short read, though. how long did it take me, what, 50 minutes?? maybe an hour??? either way, the creator definitely could’ve made this a lot longer. or at least more… ‘progressive’, if you will. i don’t even know, man!!! but, on a more serious note: this is not a manhwa i’d i’d typically recommend, though… since it’s not really a story that feels particularly accomplished. and, however sweet the origin of their relationship is: this whole ordeal is a strange one!!! so much miscommunication… and ‘unnecessary’ abuse. this legit wouldn’t even be a story if she’d just let him SPEAK during their first night when she realized he knew who she was!!! so dumb, sheesh.
Minmotion Syndrome
i’m so, soooo fucking turned on right now, man… it’s low-key scary at this point, not gonna lie. i’m such a fucking perv, ugh. anywayyyy, the smut is RIDICULOUSLY sexy, and i’m really, really, reaaaally enjoying these developments! i also quite like their dynamics and their strangely ‘cute’ relationship. (yes, i do realize that this is toxic as fuck. shut up, don’t @ me.) i mean, even though we started out with forced prostitution and all that other SA shit, i was surprised by their respective attitudes and behaviors towards each other. there’s nothing stereotypical about this, and i appreciate that! but yeaaaah, i truly have no idea what i should be expecting to see down the line. i’m sensing an ever slowly-but-steady growing relationship between our two mains—especially since they already seem to have grown kind of attached (?) to each other. ughhh, i just HAVE to express my enthusiasm for the art itself!! fuck, man, it’s just beautiful. pure gorgeousness. i’m really, really liking this manhwa! P.S. i’d never condone SA or abuse of ANY kind, for any reason… but i do genuinely enjoy reading this mess—toxicity and all. however, if you can’t separate dark romantic fiction from actual reality, this story isn’t the one for whoever’s reading this. if i ever encountered a couple with a relationship like theirs in real life, i’d call the cops and run for the hills. IT’S. NOT. REAL. it’s sexually graphic, and pretty damn disturbing at times—especially in the beginning and the first 10 chapters or so. (i’m technically not disturbed by their sex at all anymore. lol. it appears to be both consensual and ‘enjoyable’ for both parties at this point.) still, i’m a psycho on the low. don’t listen to anything i say… unless you’re as morally ambiguous as i am, i guess. k thanks, bye. xoxo
Overstepping The Boss
damn… this was a needlessly short one. :( despite their relationship being weird as hell, as well as the fact that it all began with BLACKMAIL… they both seemed happy and content with everything, so who the hell am i to judge? i legit thought it was meant to be a short, abusive romance at first though… when in reality, they were both just taking advantage of each other. consensual BDSM is just the best. <33 this is all kinda fun, lol. and i’m pleasantly surprised!!! now i don’t have to feel so guilty about being so ridiculously turned on by the sadism, heh. (i probably should be, but what the hell.)
