apopoi's manga / #Romance(252)

Yeah..this is the most mid manhwa I have ever read. It's so incredibly fast-paced and everything seems to happen in 2x speed. One moment, they feel one emotion and traumatized the next they are seemingly over it and forget it then when the plot needs them to be sad again, they are. The MC is so confusing, she is not strong mentally and physically. Also I never thought that her legs would be such an important deal in this story, don't this kind of things get resolved easily? Also it feels like the author is squeezing the heck out of this story. It's so dry and so unoriginal, also we had to have the crown prince as the second male lead, didn't we? If he couldn't be the ml, might as well be the second ml, huh? Also the MC is so dumb and annoying, a goddamn child. Her being so naive and being convinced that staying silent would make everything alright, her resolving to do something and losing heart and the will to carry on, then wishing for love but consider herself undeserving of such love. Her being so traumatized was unexpected..she was an adult before afterall. The ML is the typical male lead..black hair but not red eyes..he has purple eyes with his pupils resembling that of a lizard. He is deeply insecure about this characteristic. He was trained as an assassin and lived a life of abuse. Until he is saved by the MC. Also his change in demeanor and attitude was too sudden and felt disjointed, how he trusts people so easily and all. The crown prince was born out of love of his parents so the path of an unloved child with trauma of being discarded has been removed. However to compensate for that, we have his deep complex about not having golden eyes. FYI Golden eyes are a symbol of royalty and he is the only member of the royal family in all it's long history to not possess this trait. So he gets angry at the MC for having one. The same thing happened to og fl for having golden eyes. The way Chloe easily accepted the MC as her daughter and is loving her unconditionally is such poor writing. That can happen but it should be gradual. Also what potential does she see in MC? I seen nothing..nada. She dumb, weak and too dependent on other people, she also has no guts.

Maybe one day That day is now..I read upto ch30 currently and it's more impressive than I gave it credit for. The ML being brainwashed constantly for the past 6 years and the MC not being able to do anything about it was a bit strange to read. As it did not go into much detail about it, we did not see the process but saw the final result. The ML who pushed her and dislikes her now blushes at the sight of her and spew absurd claims of love. The funny thing is although the hallucination was for him to obey the whole family it seems like...he only obeys and follows the words of Serina. Also although the ML is being brainwashed, he seems to have some sort of autonomy left. Like him being in control and the MC seems to be the one being led around by him rather than the other way around like the MC thinks. Him actively disagreeing with what MC says or refusing to do certain things she commands. It's quite interesting. But I have a slight qualm about the art. The nose of the characters and the overall motion seems to be so rigid and mechanic. It gives off a strange feeling. The angles are also way off. Sometimes the scenes are not as impactful because of the art. The translation also seems to be so simple..I wish proper diction could be applied. That would increase the storytelling by heaps and bounds. Now currently at the latest update

Love me some double life It wasn't as cliche as I expected it to be..it knocked my expectations out of the park. Love a simple-minded ml from time to time..what with all the cunning and possessive ml's everywhere who always seem to be one step ahead of the MC. It isn't a surprise that the ML fell for her quickly with his simple and brash way of thinking but our MC has caught feelings too~ That's honestly fine..we can expect a healthy dynamic atleast. The art is so pretty..a bit sparkly but not too overt. I was wondering why the cover has the MC with pink hair but the blonde hair was a disguise, huh? She said that she hadn't shown her real face since she was six, so dedication right there..*claps*

What an achievement!! My first time completing a YAOI manga ever!! I got pretty close with 'Love is an illusion' and the beginning of 'The King's maker' and I had to skip some parts of 'Lost in the Cloud' cuz the content disturbed me on a deep level. I'm not counting those mangas with less than 10 chapters..cuz why?? I like the story..the MC is pretty solid, I mean he doesn't back down when people are being pushy and downright rude..but he knows when to lose the fight like the ML..that guy is a criminal level so u have to keep your head down and do as he says..cuz he has a few loose screws in his head. The ML is alright..he is better than some of the other obsessive semes that are violent and even hurt the people they care about. I was worried for a second since he was a bit too rough to the uke. But the most he has done is hold his hands too hard to leave a bruise or yank his hair. He admitted he wanted to kill him cuz he abandoned him so he left him alone eventhough he knew which school he moved to and could manage to get his number if he wanted..but he is obssessed with the ML..that's for sure. Since he was a child, he was infatuated with him. Contrary to the MC's thought that he met the ML cuz of him being friends with his younger brother..our deranged ML approached his brother knowingly to get close to our MC. He was "conveniently" placed in the same class as him. It surprised me a bit that the ML was willing to let the MC go..like when he left him, he didn't visit his house and when he moved schools, he deliberately pretended not to know where he was. Even after 8 years, when he found out that his acquaintance was dating him, he just pulled some strings to get them to break up. But even then he didn't plan on going back to the MC's life..it was only when he went to his apartment (he lives there when he wants to but he has a separate house for himself) and saw the MC face to face that he forced his way into his life and is so adamant on not letting him run away this time. I like seeing things from the ML's perspective, it's fascinating seeing how his mind works and how he convinces himself and his train of thoughts. He indeed cares only for the ML..burning his grandpa's grave and the forest where he rested, then strangling his father near death and telling him to ask our MC to get back together with him. That incident the dad mentioned where he maimed a guy was a bit heavy. The MC's taste in man is truly second to none..in terms of trashy level that is. One cheated on him, one abused him, and others I have no idea. That model is bad news..he actually harm the MC so no to the no no no. Also the jinx that happens when he kisses someone or is being kissed by them is a placebo of some sorts, right? It has to be. It was caused by the ML. When the MC was caught kissing him when he was asleep (he asked him to so he could get better tho he doesn't remember) by his grandpa and therefore his social life was ruined..and he lost contact with his family for 8 whole years cuz of that very trauma.

I remember reading this a long time back..My sister and I were just starting to discover this medium and this was one of my first manhwas I read..I remember being so intrigued by the plot and recommended it to my sis and she found it to be annoying. However, I continued reading it but stopped at one point cuz I felt like it wasn't going anywhere..the plot just stayed at one place. The characters are so confusing..for an MC who is such a sis-con and decided to devote her life for her sister whom she wronged in her past life..she sure is taking it easy and dismissing her sister's wishes for the Emperor (male lead). I don't know why the ML acts the way he does but I don't want to find out either. His behaviour is so strange, surely there must be something to it since the God acted kinda strange while talking to MC

I do love a blushing male lead. It is high time we see an ML being as affected as an FL usually is towards their respective love interest. A blush on an ML is as rare as diamonds. As I was reading through this manhwa, I was wondering where this title came from. It didn't seem to fit the situation that the main characters were in but in hindsight, it fits quite well. The ML's father played a part in the assassination or murder of the MC's parents and her unborn sibling. The ML knew about this fact only recently and avoided the MC for a while but soon was unable to continue so because he loved her too much. But the MC was livid about this, because she heard it from a third party, not from him. Besides the Archduke twisted the story to fit his narrative. She treated him coldly at first then became indifferent to him to straight up telling him to keep his distance. The scene at the MC's parents grave when our ML asked for forgiveness and the MC called him out for his selfishness amd threw away his flowers. That was nice..plot-wise. I do know because this is a romance, that the MC will forgive him for this act and they will get married and yada yada. But I appreciate that the story spent this much time on this problem, with her being angry at him and asking him if he were willing to convict his dad for his crime when he asked for her forgiveness to which he remained silent. That silence was enough for the MC. Personally, I wish they wouldn't end up together, no matter how tragic the situation is, from a character viewpoint, it would be better to end it on a bittersweet note making it memorable for the readers and giving justice to the characters motivations. It is a romance manhwa alright, the whole knight and aura thing happens takes a back burn with the romance and the lovey-dovey atmosphere filling more than half the page. The whole revenge thing seems more like an obstacle that the main couple need to overcome to make their relationship stronger than a serious plotline that needs to be explored. The crown prince being irresponsible is new, what with all the cunning and douchey crown princes polluting this genre. I also hate how the alternate timeline Lia calls Eddie 'Darling'..it is horribly corny and cringey. Also she has both her parents alive and I feel she was so insensitive to our MC though she expresses her condolences. All she does is talk about their married life and the bliss that entails like her husband loving everything she cooks so she doesn't know what he really likes. Also I dislike how she always puts her title as a 'Duchess' at the end of every letter and her husband's family name. She seems so typical. On that note, I love how the ML recognises Lia's efforts and hardwork as well as her position to carry out her family bloodline so he proposes to relinquish his title. We stan an understanding man and a feminist. God knows how rare that is. Also that talk with the prince and the princess on whether he should withhold information from Lia if it could put their relationship in jeopardy. The crown prince's and the princess' response were so interesting, with the crown prince advising him to keep it a secret and the princess disagreeing with him and telling him to tell her everything and that their relationship should not revolve around secrets and would be based on lies.

Heck! It's fast as hell. What has it been? 6 chapters and the characters dynamics are established and we had to have that scene where the two love interest are clashing over something silly with the MC in the middle with her having no idea what's going on. I hate that. So it seems like the ML, ie the Grand Duke has some kind of history with the MC from the previous life. He said that even though they have different faces, that doesn't mean that they are different souls. And in his memories, the picture in his mind is that of the MC in her past life with her Korean face. How is that possible? Probably has to do with the Gods.. The ML has been searching for her all this time. The clues given are..that his dog which actually has three heads Cerberus appears to have only one head to common people because of an illusion casted on it, but only people having contract with the demons or the MC can see through it. Another is her habits, how she rolls her eyes when obssessed over something, puckering her lips when she's stressed and eats little breakfast, and has to drink chamomile tea because of her motion sickness. This story is a typical isekai/reincarnation manhwa that follows the same plot as all others. There are more than one love interests, there is something about her that attracts people, etc etc.

Okayyyy.. there's a lot to unpack here. We have a woman in her late 20s (27) going on a club or a bar unlike her usual prim and proper self to get hooked up with a stranger to take her virginity after hearing her childhood friend brag about how good her boyfriend was in bed ( fyi, the boyfriend is also her childhood friend whom she had an unrequited love over). That one night stand led to her pregnancy, therefore the plot. The stranger who is to be the father is the ML who is in his early 30s (34), and also the chairman of a really big and prestigious company...as you know one tends to be. She saw two lines on her pregnancy test confirming her pregnancy and her friend catches her and offers to take her to the OBGY..but she tattles to her boyfriend who accompanies them. They meet the ML there with one of her students and she misunderstands..but it turns out, she (the student) will have a younger sibling from her step-mom who is only 8 years older than her. The ML connects the dots, meets with her...and proposes marriage. The MC refuses but after some talks later, they agreed to go on dates like 4 times a week or so..to make it work for the baby. They start falling for one another tho the ML liked her way earlier than that..maybe on the first day they met. But what pushed their marriage was when the MC's acquaintance way back in university who is way too eager to ruin her reputation learns of her pregnancy and spreads the info to everyone. This leads to many things...but the ML swoops in and saves the day..after being called over by his niece (she felt responsible for it as she inadvertedly was the reason for the rumour to spread in the first place). He says they are engaged and will get married in the next month..April. The funny thing was he already planned their wedding in advance for like a year but preponed it cuz of the circumstances. Oh..the ML has a stalker. That stalker causes some trouble..but he gave her a chance then another cuz her dad's his former highschool teacher. But he decides enough is enough when she attempted to murder the MC and her unborn child by car. They get married..they have two kids. The eldest is a girl, the younger a boy. The ML is essentially a perfect man and the MC is..alright. she has her faults..with her mommy issues. She cries a lot, sobs or bawls..whatever fits your taste. A distant mom and a dad who has too much love to share..that's her life. I don't like how impersonal her life seems..but it's nice to read once in a while. Also how they are still in their 'honeymoon phase' and still pining for one another. The niece has an oppa who is a neighbour. Yeah..he likes her. She likes him too but she takes time to figure it out cuz he was always there by her side annoying her and teasing her so she didn't realise her feelings. She tries to match him up with a girl..who later turns out to be their matchmaker..how the turn tables. They date..after 2 years, they grow distant. A girl is interested in him and they spend a lot of time together..she gets jealous, drinks a whole bunch..confesses how she feels to him. He says to talk tomorrow..they talk..then had sex~. Turns out he has been keeping a distance from her cuz he wants to take their relationship up a notch..we all know what that means. And he is keeping it in and keeping busy to match her pace. Also he worked like hell so he could get a matching ring for their 2nd year anniversary. He then turns back to normal..touching her, pecking her and being all lovey-dovey~

What do u mean 'not cute'. She's hella adorable to me..it is a Chinese manhua so cliche is to be expected. Childhood sweethearts..six years difference with our MC being 29 and ML being 23. The ML loved MC since he was a child..he is now a prestigious and renowned patisserie and lived in France with his mom..crying at the thought of departing with the MC as a child telling her that she shouldn't marry anyone while he was away. The MC is afraid of love..giving her heart to someone wholeheartedly and being betrayed so she is skeptical but decided to give a try..to the wrong guy. At the wedding altar, she announced that they will separate giving photos of him cheating as proof which he denies vehemently tho it is clear as day. Now it is followed up by cliches..getting drunk in a bar, spilling her guts about her broken heart, being bothered by her ex left and right, meets her childhood friend(?). And to add to that..it turns out that he will live in the MC's house. Because of her mom..who is also his godmom. I am currently in Ch1O..and it is a nice read.

I-I don't u-understand. What's the point of this manhwa? The system, the involvement of the gods, the prophecy, the three male leads, the whole reincarnation thing..it's all so jumbled, everything is messed up. What is this manhwa trying to accomplish? The translation sucks, if it were just grammatical issues or errors, I would understand but the things they say, I sometimes wonder if my eyes are seeing things wrong. The artstyle, it feels like the early 2000s anime-ish typical style. Their eyes are wide and sometimes their mouth twitches with smirks and their expressions darken, that's it. It feels so off-putting. The gods thing is mediocre at best, the whole situation isn't even entertaining, I get that they are bored and want some spice into their life but our girlie is stale, white bread..no flavour. The male leads interest in her is so forced and done just for the plot. The pope is the most interesting rn, and he isn't even that interesting..
