This gets on my nerves. I want to give this a one star but I have to give two stars objectively. The MC is an asshole, his personality is rotten to the core. He reminds me of a novel I read that was blatantly racist and makes no sense. It is all over the place. The gap between Ch 1 and 2 is humongous, although it is fiction there is no amount of relatability and is just absurd. The world is his oyster basically. It seems like everything and everyone serve him. I don't like that at all. How did I manage to read until Ch17?

Global Examination

Ongoing | 白梦社,木苏里,有马文化,晋江文学城 | 2019 released

Oh man I actually love this? I saw this when a commenter mentioned it on 'Codename Anastasia' so I decided to give it a try. I like You Huo and Qui together, they are partners in crime... literally. Furthermore, I love that dynamic shifted with You Huo being the examiner in the past and now him being the examinee. The pregnant girl's backstory was very unsettling to say the least.. Like I thought she was pregnant from the get go but it's because of that old Romani grandma? Sheesh! I love 001's subordinates as well, the sea sick guy and the guy always making meals. I love how they name MC as 'God of Misfortune' and always have a headache when it comes to him. The fact that both of them lost their memories is one thing, but the feeling that they are so close yet so far to one another is.. uncomfortable? Like the feeling that they are almost there makes me uneased. I just hope that they will get back their memories ASAP. Tbh I didn't understand the games as I'm not one to use my head, but I appreciate the dedication. I just wait for the characters to figure it out, I don't even try to get it.

Magic Academy’s Genius Blinker

Ongoing | 은밀히 | 2022 released

This is actually super interesting. I couldn't get into it innitially but it just sucks u in. I like the MC a lot, I also like the og ML. Flame is a bit of a boring character but I do like the og FL. I like the villainess as well. I also like the professor. Although this concept is very common, it executes it perfectly. I like the examination, the way the classes are divided and the deal with the three questions. I despise MCs who try to take everything easy so it's nice to see an MC who is very passionate and mature. I like that he also doesn't have any biases. I look forward to the interactions between him and the main characters. Jeremy is the only one he hasn't interacted with yet, right?

The Grown Dog Bullies Its Owner

Ongoing | Ruo li | 2022 released

Not particularly interesting. It's so so...I read the first three chapters then Ch40 to 45. The whole premise is so goofy, I understand why he felt compelled to do a face reveal but even if he refused, it wouldn't have harmed him in the long run. The brother is definitely a bro con, did u see his laptop's wallpaper? It's a picture of the baby MC. The ML is pushy, so they say...well I haven't seen much of him but that sounds about right. Whenever I'm reading something game related, it doesn't click for me so I am still lost. I wonder if we will find out something about the ML since everything up until now has been focused on MC and his uptight rich family etc etc. It's a necessary thing at this point to have the ML's backstory be unexpected and shrouded in mystery. Oh I read ch23 and 24 as well.

Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

Ongoing | Hermode | 2022 released

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love the dynamic between Han and his party members. I also love him as a master and his heroes as well. It was so much fun watching them interact. They said his no 1 hero was the only one to ever rebel against him so I hope we get more from that. His no 2 is so funny, calling herself his right arm and glaring at them when they were being corrected. I like the connection between this game and the real world. Also the fact that they are all humans added a lot of depth to the story. I disliked Han because he was so detached at first but I've come to terms with it. Aaron is also such a cutie. I felt so bad for him when he felt that he was dragging them down and comparing himself to them (especially Han and Jenna). Speaking of which Jenna is such a star...I like her and Han together (not in a romantic way). She is so random, when he first felt Han's abs while he was doing upside down push up(?) I already knew I would like this weirdo. The mage and Han's dynamic is also super cute...I like the way he's so close with the two of them constant pinching their cheeks. The mage and that savage are also an underrated duo, the way he teased her at first about writing a will and pulling her hair when she almost fell into a trap with the most blank look haha. The number of deaths in this manhwa also raise the stakes. So far the main cast are safe but we never know. I hope Aaron comes back safe. Another thing I like about this manhwa is there is no romance! And the female characters aren't treated as weak and actually have personalities and story arc. I don't know if that NPC and Han will have a thing tho...there is some foreshadowing there. I mean he did pull their cheeks (Jenna and mage)...scratch that only the mage's cheeks...when they shipped them saying something along the lines of 'princess and bodyguard'. The Princess also blushes whenever she sees him so...Ch102.
