apopoi's manga / #fantasy(240)

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??

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.

I would rate this a four if it weren't for the women here. Everything feels like a comic, I don't really feel much...not excitement, sadness..anything at all. I do know it's not a bad read but it's not exactly one that stands out. Everything is done well on paper but it just doesn't hit for me. My sister liked it tho. I like his design as well, also the artist suffers from same face syndrome...golly I almost mistook characters because of their design. I do like the old sly fox and the Valva knight tho. The MC not so much, I can't stand how ladies shove themselves at him and how passive he is. He doesn't even feel anything for the maid as well and I think she knows it as well. He likes the Seyron lady...that's clear.

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.

This is amazing. It's such a healthy relationship...The Tiger is so mature, even when he betrayed him and kissed another person (he thought it was him coz he was so tired). He didn’t punish him or get unreasonable, the former he just left and even blamed himself for it, the latter he got angry at the ghost not the MC. The semes have to learn from our Tiger. I do like that the grandma isn't unreasonable and gets along quite well with him now. The fact that he calls her grandma as well is so adorable. They're so cute.

This is super adorable. I prefer him as Peep than Sol. The way the Duke fawns over him is so wholesome. The lore is very interesting as well, dragons and Arma is it? The og is bored and only looks for pleasure and our ML is a halfie whose ancestors are the same as Asmilla so there's a huge gap. I do like the fact that the ML isn't the top dawg. He is also very normal. He doesn't irrationally get jealous and possessive, he is protective but he doesn't overreact to things. I appreciate that. I also like the fact that we can already see connection between the bird and Sol...He helped it out in the real world and thereby this connection? The fact that this is supposedly a novel he had read is also one thing....Ch35.

This is a amazing. Being a shut in totally rocks! The MC can be a bit shrewd but he's a nice person overall. His priority is his family above all else and though he provides asylum to people, it doesn't feel like he is particularly close to any of them...at least not now. He just feels like a detached land lord/team leader in a sense. I want him to develop some attachment to them and not see them merely for their usefulness. I also like the pacing. Tbh I didn't go into this with much expectations but this is really enjoyable. I might even read the novel. Ch33.

This is some BS. I don't even know why I gave it a try. I wish the smut was tasteful, it's so plain and boring. The MC is such a dumb dumb as well, her attire aside how could she be so naive and ignorant as well. The Knight is somehow cute but like the story is garbage. What in the witch and horn thing is going on...I saw a tail as well. Ch6.

I don't like it. I'm sorry. I see praises for this and I get where they're coming from but this just isn't it for me. It's so subpar, I thought the inner conflict between his two selves would last longer but we just breezed past that like we do everything else in this story apparently. The two brothers are not interesting to me...I get that the first prince is clouded in mystery and he has ties all around but it's just not engaging. I like that we learned later that the second prince was wary or more accurately afraid of him but that's all I can applaud it for. His mother who is supposedly the true ruler of this kingdom is so fucking dumb that I can't take anything seriously. The whole master and disciple dynamic is also super boring...The ML just makes his master do a bunch of stuff. They already formed a deep bond, like yeah I get that part since the bond between a master and a disciple is inherently very deep but it's all so surface level. There's no depth to it. The ML is another thing...I don't like him. He is so goofy to me...I don't find him intimidating nor charismatic nor relatable. He is so mid. He was convinced his brother was the one who turned back time for him yet the Dragon basically said 'You think anyone would be naive enough to risk everything for you, especially your brother who is a king' so....Another thing is he isn’t smart at all. He is so average and he constanty thinks that he's right but there are no repercussions. Also the lack of inner turmoil is just the cherry on top. About the bird girl who ended up betraying his previous kingdom...he was mad because the one he knew was loyal but he showed no signs of sorrow or what not. He just moved past it like nothing happened. Also does he not care for his past kingdom anymore? I get that his goal is to prevent the war but still the way he assumed the identity of Callan right off the bat is so flimsy(?) About the elephant thing and his attendant who is a simp for him. I can't sympathize with him nor do I find the whole bit funny. The writer really tried tho with the elder brother and finding someone to protect etc etc but what can this pussy even do? The gods and what not I am hardly interested in. And also the king is so fucking useless...he didn't care for his son (I want no excuses) and now he's a candidate for Father of the Year? Kindly piss off! He's so dumb. What's the connection between him and the mage tho? The art style is also really horrible as well.Ch55.

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.
