I Became The Tyrant's Chambermaid
I like the MC. She's reasonable and has a personality as well. The ML although not having much depth to him outside the stereotypical 'prince who had a horrible childhood' trope is pleasant to read as well. The deal with the grandson of the bookstore, the magical book and the og fl is fascinating to say the least. The Crown Prince's aide/cousin is such an inflexible character that it makes me laugh. He is oddly cute in a way. The third prince is a young boy, the second prince is dumb as hell, the first prince is a slimy motherfucker. There's not much option besides the ml. It's very intriguing that the ML doesn't trust his aide.. I would imagine he's the only one he trusts currently but that isn't the case. The comparison made the MC of the church being akin to a cult rings true to me.
The villain tyrant has returned
This is super cute. Soo much second hand embarrassment but that's part of the charm, it's like watching Mark Lee..it's all part of what makes it so lovable. I love that it's in his POV, he's so complex.. I thought it would be the typical yandere trope but this actually has a lot of depth. I'm not that fond of Olive's brother and Carlos but that's mainly because I'm attached to the ML now. I like Olive's friend, the Black Dog, she chose her loyalty over her personal feelings. I like her. She also seemed to genuinely care for the ML in the past timeline as well, telling the conservative fool that the head butler was someone the ML was fond of and if he knew his condition, he could've been an ally. She's so amazing. Her personality, her character design.. I love all of it. I like the beastmen children and Menas(?) as well. It's such a shame that the ML cut his hair, him with his long hair was chef's kiss.. Olive's crush on the 2nd prince was amusing but I like her dynamic with ML much moree.. The way they bicker.. And how the ML talks back to her as well, instead of accepting everything and smiling like the 2nd prince would do. That's why most age gap ick me the fuck out. Also I was so surprised that the ML actually had a personality.. I thought he would just be pining for her and do everything she likes, accepting everything.. I mean he would but the way they bicker and all, when she tutored him as well.. He's almost immune to her now that it's funny.
I've Fallen for the Empire's Greatest Villainess
The translation is horrid. I hate hate hate the lines.. It's sooo cringey!! What the heck! This is just tropes on top of tropes.. "I want to make you kneel".. The problem I'm having with this is it feels chopped.. There's no continuity to the story.. It feels like one liners after the next and jumping through scenes to get to the next.. Where's the story.. It feels so disjointed. The humour isn't hitting either.
The Duke Needs His Coffee
It's aight. The translation is bad and the characters aren't memorable. The storyline is plain. The aunt actually liking her nephew was a surprise but everything else is just eh. The MC having a white healing ability and using it by praying whenever she serves coffee.. I like how they personalised it but that's where my compliments end.
The Duty of an Academy Student Should Be to Study
Cute. I like them both. It's a bit childish for me since they are in high school..I got out of that phase a while ago so this isn't my forte. I do like the innocent and warm feelings of high school first love but I can't handle teenage romance no more. I do like their first meeting tho, her memories and his are different.. In hers, we see him crying and smiling saying 'You look like a fairy' and in his, we see him crying over a broken music box (the only memory of his mom) and her fixing it for him and promising she'd fix it for him the next time they meet if it gets broken again. I like the drama about the ML's older brother as well and him hitting him then telling the maid to fix him up.
Brother In Law
I like this. I love how messy it gets, sure it seems unnecessary but I looove the drama here. The bro in law is so fascinating to me, I don't think he's like obsessed but definitely a jealous and possesive man. Because of the title I for sure thought they got together after the two were married.. Turns out it's the opposite. They were in a relationship, in love and got into arguments all the time because he prioritised his sister above all else and suggested they take a break.. In the meantime the two suddenly announced that they were getting married. Now he kissed the seme and even sucked him while he was asleep so all this is to have his man to himself. However I was still surprised when we were in the sister's POV, where we're told she fell in love with him at first sight and was the one who proposed as well. The guy even told him that he was still in love with her brother and used to be in a relationship. He even sent his pic the morning after they slept as proof. Clearly this man only see u as an obstacle. The girl also gives homophobic vibeszz..
I Raised My Fiancé with Money
I love love looove this!! Obsessed actually! I love the bear Karlan, I live for his demure self. He's so huggable and comfortable and soft.. All things good. In contrast we have Ilya with her sharp tongue, business acumen and loveliness. I love them together. I hate that the ex fiance resembles my Cale saur much, that I can't hate him fully.. Ugh.. My Cale!! I love Ilya's family.. The daddy being a pudgy man with a deep appreciation for art and getting along so well with Karlan is chef's kiss. The mom is more strict and rigid but I love her temperament. The older brother is of course a siscon, him and his glasses will be the death of me I swear! I don't want to talk about Karlan's family.. I hate his mom, dad and elder brother. Even getting the spoilers that the mom treats him that way because of the brother's intervention doesn't ease the blow one bit. What a horrible human being.. He's a child. Even if you think he stole your jewellery or put a dead bird in your drawers, you should fucking talk to him. U have my boy a complex. He thinks he's ugly! He feels guilty over the most minor things and his insecurities are eating him up.. Ugh I hate them..
Moto Konyakusha kara Nigeru tame Kyūketsu Hakushaku ni Koibito no Furi wo Onegai Shitara, Naze ka Dekiai Mōdo ni Narimashita
Cute. Adorbs. Love them. 10 year age gap but it doesn't show so I don't have a problem with it. As long as it ain't obvious and also my mans love to play around so.. Because it's a manga and the art style is kind of generic I didn't get it when they complimented their looks or whatever.. Like talking about pale skin.. U guys are literally on a black and white paper. The vampire cosplay was nice. I love MC's development. Family is trash per usual, can someone tell me what's up with sisters being in competition or just being trashy, jealous literally in every shoujo!! The hairstyles were really pretty. Volume 4 Ch14
It Was Love at First Sight, Mr. Villain!
Yeah no. The MC isn't mc-ing. I don't like this. I hate when writers just randomly assign backgrounds to characters and don't commit to it. This stupid girl is supposed to be a prosecutor yet has only one suspect and doing absolutely nothing. The so-called accomplishments she has shown are sub-par to say the least. The ML isn't the brightest but he's cute so I'll give him that. The art style isn't the best as well. I don't think I'll pick this up again, the spoilers that I have read made me lose hope. The arch duke turns evil and tries to destroy MC since he can't have her?! Seriously.. What in the BS. But I like that the ML's aide was a spy.. That makes sense.
