I Am Being Chased by My Husband

Ongoing | yoo na jin , 유나진,온눌 | 2019 released

Well the FL wasn't what I expected. I thought her cheerful personality was a mask for her, but that seems to be just her. I do adore her but we're missing out on those badass yet sweet MCs. She can't keep a poker face as well, I mean she does have trauma but that was like a dead giveaway. She isn't very smart either. Does she rely only on her gun? She always hurts her ankle and is so clumsy and doesn't have the best physique so I'm like huh? So many inconsistencies...I do adore the son tho. I wish the hatred between the both of them was stronger, the FL doesn't have any ill intent towards the ML but still...Also how is she so clueless? Gurl! Ch18.

The Princess in The Henhouse

Ongoing | Lee mieun,Samyeon | 2022 released

This is so hilarious! I love everyone! I never thought the Emperor's personality would be like this...he's so lovable, goofy, silly and childish. His and Soria's dynamic is the best...why can't their friends see that? Also the misunderstandings here are just so funny...not the descendents thinking that their hen princess is being mistreated and the MCs thinking they want to hurt her. I also love that we see the generation gap often, along with culture differences. The magic stuff is also nice. I love all the hen's expressions...and the fact that the ML finds her pretty even in her hen form now. The previous Emperor is also so eccentric...he gets along so well with Soria. I didn't expect the ML not being able to differentiate between her and the other hens. Also hens being worshipped??! Ch29

This wasn't as interesting as I thought it would be. Maybe once Jujube translates it, it will improve. The plot is something but like one of the comments said everything feels like a speed run of all the tropes in this genre. The supposed back and forth between the leads, her maternal grandfather, the merchant thing, her ice block father. It seems he doesn't care for Lant so there's that. I disagree with her on how her father acts, like him remaining silent and people misinterpreting his silence however they want. He ought to know how society works, he was just neutral all the way. The connection with her and her mother was so flimsy as well. The ice block didn't even care so what was with that last bit of redemption of 'maybe he didn't hate her as much as I thought?'...Now about the crown prince, he doesn't show up often and he certainly doesn't steal the scene with the little screen time he has as well. Him calling her a prey was so cringe...also the FL retort of even a prey can bite a hunter...like girl ewww why would you encourage that behaviour and you're participating as well? The nanny was also out of nowhere, all the affection she's had earlier for her went up in flames or what? Also the nanny last words to her? Like what??

Sorry, I got distracted by your looks

I know this is supposed to be comedy but it's not the kind of absurdity I can get behind. The FL having something to do with healing and her half sister blaming her along with the red haired scheming something. Like everything is so predictable it's tiresome. I do think the maid and the knight romance is cute but there's not much substance, same with the main couple. The thing with the Maon being slaughtered and them just leaving the heir behind with no worries was so stupid. Everything is so meh here. Ch15.

Death Delayed for a Short Time Because of the Will

Ongoing | Shaolin | 2022 released

Season 2 is over!! I like Jihan a bit too much like umm sir? I never expected him to have such a strong sense of justice and be so tender and loving. I love how he reassures Seoyoon and is always ready to take his side. The way he looks at him is ughhh. I really feel so much for our beloved MC...he has suffered so much. He remembers every moment even now 10 years later...The reason everyone gave those ridiculous wish was so that he would hang on and not kill himself. They knew what he was planning to do and just hoped that by fulfilling those wishes, he would live a little longer. Oh man the way Kwon completely overturned everything I expected of him is insane. He is genuinely a good person who carries a huge level of responsibility. When he said he would be happy to trade his skills if it meant his hyung would be happy..gahh tears! Also the watch is up to some mischief...I can't believe there is smut in this like WOW!! Ch71.

Heesu in Class 2

Complete | Lily | 2017 released

Oh wow I didn't leave after review for this. I like this a lawt!! I love both of the leads, I like that even though Heesu's friend knew that Heesu had a crush on him, he wasn't disgusted and hinted that he liked girls and subtly telling him that he wasn't interested. Of course our sweetie pie was sad but I like that he acknowledged that he was his first love..other manhwas tend to just scrap it and leave it as them being confused but yes he liked him, he was his first love. Now the ML...he is so tender, sweet and caring towards Heesu. I like that he has lesbian moms and thinks love as nothing more...no matter the gender..that's very powerful. I love how Heesu gushed over that. Another thing when they got together...they're so clingy no matter the time and place..their friends have to work overtime to cover them. Also Heesu is apparently interested in cooking? I like that it alludes to that in the final chapters. Clearly I didn't finish it but I am satisfied with it. Also quick note the fact that Heesu has three older sisters who absolutely babies him are such different characters themselves are so ughhh yes!! And the crush's elder obnoxious big brother thinking that his brother was gay and being an asshole to him when he used his computer to search gay stuff? Ya that still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth..fuck his family.

Muse On Fame

Ongoing | Soojin | 2022 released

I like the premise. I like the execution. I like the artstyle. I like the characters. I don't want to make this too long so I'll try to keep it short. I like how quickly the FL moves on when she decides her long term bf is a pussy and lets her frenemy just do whatever. He enables her. Also the way he cried and said he loved her all along when she died. Like cry me a river you fucking wussy. Maybe the FL and him never truly loved eachother...I like how he just disappears after that. Now the muse thing...I can't believe it was the ML's brother all along...wait that isn't a surprise, what am I talking about? I actually thought the FL was only a muse to him, nothing more but the way he dressed his wife like her and called her pretty and both of them as worms(insects) like WOW! That gurl is still creepy for the way she acted around the ML though...like the age difference and he was probably a minor as well...why implicate an innocent? Like sleeping in the same bed and all like EWW...About the ML hmm the fact that he will soon leave the FL and the FL has to mourn for him is an impending doom and I'm not looking forward to that at all. About the actor and the idol...I don't find it sweet. I don't like them both...also what she feels for him feels like puppy love..she is still so young as well and getting married? Golly! The actor is a douchebag sorry...The way he fell for her was so fucking cliche..

Let Me Kidnap the Male Lead!

Ongoing | Danshio | 2022 released

Oh I didn't leave after review for this as well. So the MC goes around kidnapping people who she thinks is the ML...she doesn't know who, only that they're handsome. Now her current target is the Duke..he's dark haired so I figured he would be the ML but apparently nawt. His sister is hella funny as well. Their dynamic is fun also the sister being kidnapped as well is hilarious. The MC keeps getting confused that they don't act like the characters she read. That's another common trope in book isekai. I like the MC's ability...she's so powerful albiet for only a short moment. Her stalker who constantly disguises himself is also super fun. I think they land on the gags nicely. The Secretary being the ML is something I would've never guessed myself...maybe after more chapters I would figure it out but the first couple chapters? Did not think that at all...never even crossed my mind. Ch10.

The Impure Type of Friendship

Complete | Chaerangbi | 2019 released

Didn't really stand out but the artstyle is unique. I like the friendship to lovers descent in this case. The colors and sketching in this manhwa is so aesthetic. I love that they're so soft. The story isn't something to write home about but it's nice I guess. This is a josei as well so it doesn't fall victim to that high school teen drama which is so tired so that's a plus.

The Boundary of Fragrance

Ongoing | Lily , 릴리 | 2023 released

The lips are bad. The MC is an omega but he isn’t affected by alpha's pheromones until he did. Of course we know it's the ML in this case. The ML typically doesn't go for omegas since he is a hyper alpha something so he finds omegas who are horny and downright pushy annoying. But he has to meet with the MC whom he doesn't know is his Secretary because he's blindfolded. I think his grandma and someone else arranged this...I like that he isn’t betrayed when he found out and is delighted. Sometimes the semes take it way too far with the 'You lied to me' just for the drama to ensue. I blame the authors for that. That's garbage. They should learn from this. Take down notes. The art style isn't my cup of tea...even though some characters are supposed to be attractive...I can't believe it because look at them! CH39.
