It has its moments. I don't like the MC at all.. I don't like his hair, his face, his expressions, his personality, his justice.. The plot ain't plotting here but there's something there. The 13th disciple is very interesting to me and turned the story upside down I feel. The characters are one dimensional except maybe the uncle.. The uncle is a fascinating one. His love for Eugene is so heartwarming to see, he was the reason he joined the Abyss and became a Apostle. That made my heart ache.. I love that the MC acknowledges that as well, that his uncle and brother were more like parents to him then his own parents. The mom is cool on paper but she's so callous.. I live for wild women but she ain't it. I hate that theC can't grow a spine and isn't getting a proper character development... His antics are too much and is bringing too much trouble to his friend.. His complete disregard for everyone and his self centered attitude pisses me off.

How To Reject My Obsessive Ex-Husband

Ongoing | Pinkrim | 2022 released

This feels very all over the place. It's clear as day that Irene still has feelings for Ciel and she knows it, but her new found self respect won't allow her to act on it. Considering the ML did a 180 after his first life. I don't get the God or the system.. I don't know why they gave the fake priestess the ability to go back etc etc.. She gets such a helping hand especially with the phone and all. Ciel gives me mixed feelings.. Obviously he is pining for Irene but the way he does so and his complete lack of tact makes me shake my head. The bonding is the oldest trick in the book. I don't get how people are still confused on who she will end up with. I hate that this somehow feels like a reverse harem almost.. Like the way the younger brother and the physical esper already likes her.. It makes me feel iffy. The crown prince seems pretty bent on the fake priestess tho so that's funny. The ahegao in this is top tier

I Became The Tyrant's Chambermaid

Ongoing | Joo yeryeong | 2022 released

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 S-Classes That I Raised

Ongoing | 근서 | 2019 released

Okayy.. I dropped this. Maybe I should see this through because people are putting this in the same tier as TCF and ORV. The Big Three of Manhwa?? Up until where I read, this definitely was not on par with the two. Hmmm Update (26/8/24) : I like it so far. It's not up to par in my opinion with TCF and ORV but it's very decent. I didn't even know that people shipped Hyunjae with Soojin.. It's saur funny that I never side eyed them. Maybe if I reread it, I can catch some moments here and there but so far nada. The lil bro is a bit much but I understand his sentiment, the whole big bro act is kind of pissing me the fuck off so I'm on his side. That sequence of their childhood was my fav... It recontextualizes everything and adds so much layers to the story.. Mwahh chef's kiss

Return of the Frozen Player

Ongoing | 제리엠,실실 | 2000 released

I like this. If I could give it a 4.5, I would. I like Junho and his sense of justice. Whenever I hear the word justice, Ii immediately get a bad feeling since I'm a One Piece fan. I love love loove the Frost Queen, she's such a mood. I love her dynamic with Specter as well, her being a director and editor was chef's kiss. I was worried that the archmage was gonna be a love interest ngl but I'm glad it didn't go in that direction. I like that the five heroes are revered but that they are also falling behind since they were stuck for 25 years. I don't know about the other two, but the girl seems to have one shady family. I like that the Dokkaebi Guildmaster holds the MC in such high regards but ultimately he got fooled by the MC. I like the Sword Saint, he's a kind person. What else? I like the Dokkaebi princess, she's cute. She's such a huge fan of Specter as well. The fiends are nasty, but I don't find them intimidating.. I'm just reading this for the characters at this point. Currently at Ch140. The sharp shooter Gilbert and his son was also very touching. I love how much Arthur admires and looks upto Specter as well. Side tangent- I love how Specter sneaks in the ice rocks in the snacks he gives the frost queen. I love their bond. When he spoke up for her when Gilberto was giving her mad heat (rightfully so tbh).. My heart swelled.

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

Ongoing | | 2022 released

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.

Turning

Ongoing | Nono,Original : guyu | 2022 released

This is so intriguing. I love it, I love the MC and I love the ML. I also love his friends and how the MC unintentionally lit a spark amongst the awakened who thought their talents to be useless. I also like the way the MC utilises his knowledge of the first timeline and efficiently manages things and leaves nothing to chance. Someone in the comment section also pointed out that the MC is an unreliable narrator so I'm hella excited for that, and what it entails. I Their chemistry is top tier, I live for their dynamic.. I wonder why he killed him in the first timeline. So far the characters are top notch. The crown prince annoys the living shit out of me but other than that.. All good

How To Survive As A Player

The smut isn't tasty. The cover fooled me.. Something about the art feels unnatural, it feels like statues talking.. The facial expressions are lacking, the body proportions are okay, the lines could be much much better. I don't understand anything tbh. The Duke is irritating and the MC gets on my nerves constantly. His crying, his pining, his naivety, his impulsiveness.. The way he just synced to the character was so strange.. Like you thought they were characters all this time and yet you adapted to this world perfectly? And u love the ML for real?

It Was Love at First Sight, Mr. Villain!

Ongoing | 호미 | 2022 released

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.
