Lovely allergen
300325 (55) i really love this manhua and the art is just beyond beautiful but man it's a little too slow and uneventful. i find that's usually the problem with a lot of these manhua-- absolutely stunning but way too dragged out. 310325 (88) finally caught up!! i wish this was more face paced lol 88 chapters and no development whatsoever. but still a very sweet read i enjoyed it!
Destined to Meet on the Trends
040725 (84) ok i got a lot of thoughts lmaoo first off, wtf was that abrupt ahh ending?? 2nd, this story is so goddamn long for the plot it has like the slow burn is crazy. i ended up finishing it bc it is mindless entertainment, but damn that was lwk really boring i would not recommend it. it's also extremely childish and written like a wattpad story, especially the dialogue. the art is also extremely wonky at times and there was no improvement whatsoever despite having 84 chapters. this was cute when the two finally got together, but before that it was honestly quite cringe and basic lmao. also, it took like a billion chapters for them to get tgt and then when they finally got tgt it was only like 10 chapters before the manhua was over. the pacing is just not it
I rely on beauty to stabilize the Country
050625 (86) tell me why i wasted several hours reading this shit... oh my god this was so badly written. i'm so disappointed because it started off pretty strong but the more i read the worst it got. character: the main characters are extremely unlikeable, but especially the emperor. except for being gorgeous, i literally can't state a good trait about him. he's extraordinarily bland, has no character development, treats xue yuan like shit. also, he's supposed to be someone from the modern day who has transmigrated into a BL novel, so tell me why he lwk is a sadistic tyrannical emperor. he has no modern day attitudes, and nearly all of his actions are to expand his empire and keep his throne. he has barely any reaction to brutality and death, and in fact celebrates it. if he were in a modern day society he'd be seen as an absolute psychopath. i don't like xue yuan much either, but i still find him much more likeable than gu yuanbai. they are both cruel af men, but at least it makes sense for the 'mad dog' to be... y'know, mad. but gu yuanbai is supposed to be a regular ahh guy who transmigrated but no he's insane. plot: the pacing of the plot is so absurdly terrible i don't even know what to say. it's also crazy that none of the transmigration stuff is explained whatsoever. we don't even know who gu yuanbai originally is, why he transmigrated, etc. not even the foundation of the plot is properly fleshed out, let alone the rest of this story. a whole 86 chapters and barely any substantial plot. they could have condensed all of this into half the number of chapters, because seriously, the plot is not engaging enough for it to be that long. romance: there is barely any romance. like 86 chapters in and gu yuanbai still isn't even remotely attracted to xue yuan. in fact, he is actively confirming that he is straight at every fucking chance he gets. he uses the fact that xue yuan likes him to his benefit, but then throws him away when xue yuan shows interest. all the meanwhile he's 'trying' to be a matchmaker for xue yuan and chu wei. what an actual waste of time. this is taking 'slow burn' to the extreme, but it's so badly written that there's no chemistry whatsoever, just two horrible people trying to use each other. i found their relationship dynamic interesting at the start, but it dragged on for so long with no development. also, when xue yuan fell for the emperor, the power dynamics became extremely unbalanced, with gu yuanbai having imperial power and being able to do wtv tf he wants to xue yuan, and also that xue yuan would love him no matter what he did. i also hate how xue yuan sexually harassed gu yuanbai several times too?? like, genuinely, what even is this manhua why the hell did i read this 'til the end...
At the end of the world, I still want to be with you
