I’m the Villainess, but I’m Happy Because I’m Healthy

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Fatphobia? A hint of it but it's not as extreme as some other manhwas. I don't like how everything is immediately resolved after she lost weight. We also know that the final bosses (the marquis and the crown prince) fancies her so it is the same old. Now going from a cute little brother to a man is nothing new. I love how doting her parents are to her too. Also I hate how unfair it is that her magic attribute: strengthening allows her to eat whatever she wants and the calories turn to mana or adds to her magic. Ugh I wish I had that. I read upto Ch6 btw where she turns down the narcissistic crown prince whose world revolves around main characters and supporting characters.

The Precious Sister of The Villainous Grand Duke

Ongoing | Eclair,Lunaheng | 2019 released

Nice read not the best...a bit repetitive..but okay. Maybe this deserve more description. Okayyy... here goes. The MC is isekai'd as per usual as the adopted daughter of the Lagrange, the villains of the novel which she is reincarnated onto. This is a secret but the fact that she does not have the shadow ability that is the identity of the Lagrange can be questioned. The ML is her elder brother, not the real bio one that is the ML of the novel but the villain of the story who is also whipped for the female lead. Awfully convenient.. ain't it? It is common for siblings to kill eachother for the heir position so the MC was unsafe even as a baby from the get go. But the villain saved her..although not for some grand reason like the kindness of his heart. It was imperative for the selection of the heir for the final stage to kill the one they treasure the most. So he planned on killing her when that day comes. Ofcourse that didn't happen. If it did..what a plot twist it would be. The villain grew attached to her and she to him. Also Anissa's bio family is trash except for her big bro who cares for her somewhat. What else? Oh! The og fl is one deranged bitch, a delulu I tell you...she considers herself to be the main character, the saviour if you will (although it is correct initially). She acts very self-righteous and says that Dietrich and her are destined but when push comes to shove, she considers him to be dirty and refused to help when Anissa asked for her help. Also the demon that Dietrich is bonded with...a grower for me. He cares for him. But the demon that made the curse on Dietrich obsolete was the demon that fell for og fl's mother and inturn was cursed so he bitter as hell now. He made it so that Dietrich would not die an early death in exchange for Anissa offering everything she had to make to ensure that he was alive. But he made it so that everyone forgot about Anissa and that she ever existed except for Dietrich. So Dietrich inturn offers him his soul but he responds with 'Do you think that's enough?' so...Oh Anissa forgot everything as well, she thinks she is reincarnated in the novel (which she is) but no recollection of her time as Anissa. She is now a maid with the same description as Anissa except for her blue eyes. Also that lecherous noble is not it. What more? Oh the Lagrange are a respected family now and the Shadows are no more..which the MC is confused about since it was originally a war story and she found it strange that Anissa did not exist. In the last chapter that I read, Ch94 she met with Dietrich in a field of garden and she tripped (are we surprised?) so he helps her. She first mistook him for a kidnapper since her fellow maid warned her of it so as she tried to run suddenly she tripped. Dietrich helps her, and she asks why he is here not knowing his identity..gurlll and he says that he is looking for his lover.

Life of a Magic Academy Mage

Ongoing | | 2019 released

I like it. It's a nice read. I like how the MC is shaped by his time as a graduate, as is mentioned in every page. I like the connections he made, and he seems to be a good person at heart. His choice of friends is also very applaudable. The immense mana, one in a talent thing is not a first but I like how he focuses on the basics and unlike other MCs actually has no qualms with working hard. It's about that hustle man. The characters are still one-dimensional and there is no risk or life-threatening situations yet so maybe this isn't that type of manhwa. His family wasn't showcased..I am guessing that we will learn more about them as time goes on. The Wood spirit did say he resembled a Wardener lunatic from a hundred years ago in terms of his temperament and talent so you never know. Also I hope no love interest cuz authors can't juggle the two properly.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles

Ongoing | Hajime komoto | 2019 released

Aaahh! I thoroughly enjoyed this. If we were to rank mangas on the level of enjoyment it gave us, it would be a 10/10. The plot itself is not the forefront of the story, it's the characters, the gags, the side tangents, the impossible physics of it all. Everything is illogical, it is not realistic at all. The mass absurdity of everything is at such a level that u kind of leave all your apprehension behind and just enjoy it. The MC is 'One punch man' and 'Mob Psycho' mixed into one. The former because of the physical strength and the latter because of the character design. I am certain the author heavily draws inspiration from the two. The MC is OP as hell and grows at an unprecedented level, like he just powers up without any apparent reason. Even God is shocked at Mash for his strength. Cream buns are his lifeline and his subtle shade gives me life. Poking fun at other shounen mangas while at it is also another element that I appreciate. It is a parody afterall. Sister complex on steroids is essentially Lance. Like that bro breathes in air from his little sister, Anna. He has pins of his sister all over his body and gets literal whiplash when seeing her face. I do think Mash comes second to him with maybe the hot-blooded Dot following suit. Ah! Dot and his dynamic is worth exploring. At first I think Lance just puts up with him because of Mash so they always butt-heads with eo but when they fought the third brother, it was the moment Lance actually acknowledged him. "I will fight for your sister's sake as well", he said. The brothers are also interesting though they are one-dimensional. The first is the most interesting to me because he has a principle he follows, the second is just a nut-job with a bit of an inferiority complex (?), The third who btw looks the oldest, he looks like a typical middle-aged Japanese business man, is arguably the most insane one to me, he believes in Puddingology, creates potions sucking life and magic energy from people. Which is why Lance lost his cool since Anna suffered from that. The fourth..hmmm..who was it again? He escapes me..I guess he was the least memorable. Oh! He fought against the siblings..Raynes and Finn. The Fifth..Dominas was born in the same year as Mash and possess the most magic energy out of all the siblings...it doesn't mean he is the most powerful (just in terms of magic). What else? He has a bit of a redemption scene..he craved his father's love and would do anything to obtain it. So he was unsettled when he came across the kind of love that Mash and his pops had for eo. He envied them. He used his last magic energy he had left to stall for time for Mash's recovery. The pops isn't that interesting..did it say he is 75 years old now? Mash is only fifteen as of now so that's a big gap. Maybe that's also the reason he is so doting towards him, he scolds him but then easily forgives him when Mash seems like he regrets his actions. Mash never learns from it tho. He doesn't know if the door should be pulled or pushed up until now. If it were grounded in reality, I would worry that Mash would've had to see his pops die. Considering that he spends most of his time in the academy and only goes home during holidays, he doesn't have a lot of time together with his pops. The one who made Mash attend the academy coming to truly care for Mash was heartwarming indeed.

The Law Of Being Friends With A Male

Ongoing | 이도윤 | 2022 released

Oh this was just lovely. A joy to read. It cleanses my soul and makes me squeal. First love really hits different, reminds me of how I felt reading 'Eleanor and Park'. The comedy was done so tastefully and is a parody of sorts, it also breaks the third wall constantly. Also, I love that Bora is such a cool person and I love the MC's first meeting with her sister. She just stood on the swing with someone on it. I wonder tho how Jay mistook her crush to be Seohyun. Seohyun is an adorable puppy. Jay is a social butterfly but sets his lines properly. Bora is a relatable queen. I also live for Soyeon's loyalty to her bestie, she also made a move after she was certain that MC liked Seohyun now. But I have one problem.. The cliffhanger? I don't want him to misunderstand the situation. I hope that the author won't drag this out, based on the past chapters that doesn't seem to be the case since it was resolved through communication and confrontation so I'm not too worried. And also the rizz on Seohyun? When he suggested that Jay should ask Bota for matching phone cover.. I'm like boyyyy. Anyway I like that he's not one dimensional. My sister (whom I read this with) mentioned that the MC's love language was act of service and the ML physical touch. Man they are too cute!!!

The Time When We Were Young

Ongoing | Yoon | 2019 released

I like that the MC is level headed and fairly reasonable, I hope that will continue throughout the manhwa and that trait of her won't change. Her real life problems are much more severe than the novel she is in so I understand where she is coming from. However her lack of tact made it almost unbearable for me to continue this manhwa even though I personally don't blame her. The four heavenly kings are based on 'Boys over Flowers' for sure, even Hwiyoung's face and personality screams Junpyo. Her knowing the tropes and cliches inside out was very hilarious and her being dumbfounded left and right by the impossibility of everything in the novel was refreshing. Some of which I won't question but because she is a renowned author and even received an award for literature, she is able to see the plotholes that I can't see. Her little brother is such a simp and the resemblance to her deceased lil bro is uncanny. What else? Her best friend is a bit much, I get where she's coming from but the ml is just your boyfriend's friend so why be angry at your bestie for it? All in all, I enjoyed it. Her best friend irl sucks, of course she would think it's her since she was the only one she told but she suffered all that bullying because she defended you and stood up for you, you bitch. She ended up miserable while the Ah-han is successful in life so whatever. I think I know who the ml irl will be, the man that saw her crying has to be it. I think he is also the person that bully liked in middle school.

The Priest Dreaming of a Dragon

Ongoing | 六倍利 | 2022 released
2023-09-19 13:48 marked

The translation is a bit wonky but the story is fresh to say the least. The MC is very pretty and the dragon and him have history, essentially the MC was the one who planted the seed of this whole situation. Starting with him telling the story of the evil dragon kidnapping the princess for ransom, to him suggesting that he do it 10 years later since the princess was still a child then. The priest is gay and someone with the looks that surpasses gender so the knight that came to rescue him also falls for him (after the priest clasp his hand and suggested they run away together). Which ultimately didn't happen since the dragon is like "He's mine". I have seen the dragon blush once and that was when the MC crawled on his back and touched him, the dragon also had an inner monologue "I'm a dragon so even if I were to mate, it would be with another dragon". So we can see that he is being affected by our MC's advances.

My Guildmate Next Door

2023-09-22 10:01 marked

This is very different. I know the gaming culture in Korea is a different level, so maybe that's why I'm not getting it. I'm not the target audience for this, I'm just lost whenever they use lingos and slangs I find myself drifting off. Also the way I relieve stress is not by playing video games so whatever. Is this a yaoi or shounen ai? There are currently only 6 chapters and so far it isn't very interesting. The MC is a lot older than the ML, the ML is a university student while the other is 28 years old and is an office worker. The avatars are very adorable though I must say that half of the things they say is just nonsense to me.

Even The Demon King, One Step At A Time

Ongoing | Team. 윤홍 | 2019 released

This is hype as fuck!! There were only 11 chapters on Webtoon so I came here to read more as I was intrigued.. Biggest surprise ever!! It had 128 chapters! Thank god for that one commenter that recommended this series while I was reading 'Ember knight'. Sometimes I get lost in the plot because it introduces various things one after the other so it's confusing and sometimes draining to read but it didn't lose that spark that made me interested. Yuria doesn't feel like the MC in a way, like I get that feeling more from Raglard and I love our gang btw. I feel like this series take inspiration from 'One Piece' and I'm not complaining cuz that's a fucking masterpiece. The guy with the hat gives me such an icky feeling but he's a fascinating character nonetheless. The 'warrior' selection was an interesting concept, I miss Wooth. The death scenes shocked me to the core! Like damn people be dying one after the other. I have the biggest girl crush on Ariah.. Like she is such a badass. She's so strong even without using her inhuman side? Like sign me up! My latest obsession, seriously. Her being the weaker twin I kind of predicted when we got her flashback (thanks to 'Rem and Ram'). Their dad actually loved them and was contemplating escaping to save both of them! You have no idea how that affects me. Him still hesitating on whether to kill Ariah made me clutch my chest and when I saw that scene with them looking at him while playing. This is not okay!!The dark Lord being a sickly looking man was not what I expected, him having a subordinate I did not foresee. Based on what was said, I thought he would be the loner brooding type but alas. What else? I love that the thing with Yuria's memory was explored and properly explained.. Two existence together forms the lovely MC we know. The gags were fun. I like that the Warriors tie in with Yuria cuz just by seeing the first appearance of Ragaella (?) I could tell it was an extension of Yuria but I couldn't understand what angle the author would take that could justify this. Consider me seated and satisfied. The translation made me iffy at first cuz it's not the best. Certainly not on par with the Webtoon's translation and the use of 'mate' irked me. However the use of old language fits in with the setting of this manhwa.. Especially with the inhumans whose life span has stretched for hundreds if not thousands of years.

I Think I Have Transmigrated Somewhere

Ongoing | | 2022 released

Wow.. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. I like the dynamic between the main leads as well as the second leads. It's so very different yet equally interesting. Personally the main leads dynamic is my favourite because there's so much teasing going on, and the way they interact with eo is such a breath of fresh air. It's been a while since we've got an ML with personality!! I love that he has a sharp tongue, love that he trusts his instincts and love him overall. The MC gives me so much second hand embarrassment, yet I still come back for more. They are such engaging characters, truly the backbone of this manhwa. The romance is the main plot, but its sub-plots are very fascinating as well. I like that the MC's past is supposedly shrouded in mystery, the deal with White (what entity is he?) And that we have two regressors and a transmigrator. Also the ML isn't needlessly edgy or sketchy and moves with a purpose. I love how the MC just assumes stuff and just goes with it. I love that it subverted my expectations. It's so light-hearted and I love that it pokes fun at the genre it's in.. A parody of its genre. It reminds of Gintama in that sense. As someone well endowed in this genre, there's a sense of satisfaction in that I'm privy to the inside jokes made in this manhwa.
