The Thorn That Pierces Me
Last ch 25 The title might as well be a sexual innuendo, both of them are starved for attention, and they don’t try to communicate through gestures. The communication barrier is cool and great but putting together a system to at least get across ideas would be one of the first things you do. (Ch 25)
The Emperor Reverses Time
Last ch 28 He’s so dumb. The whole thing with his memories makes sense, I’m down. I just want to know what it means in this world to lose part of your soul. (Ch 24)
What It Means to be You
Last ch 16 Another one that just makes me sad. It’s good and frustrating because Winter didn’t fucking look into the details behind his wife and just blindly allows things to happen. He knows now that she’s treated super poorly and lives in pain but doesn’t fucking look into why! I need a better mental state to read this. (Ch 15)
Thirst
Last ch 65 I’d like better facial expressions but they are funny nonetheless. (Ch 16) I only like the “Lol you thought he was gonna bottom but you were wrong!” Thing when it isn’t some femme character. That never catches me off guard. This however, where we thought it was going one way until the precious boy flips the switch and enters this delicious top mode, is much more satisfying. You get that vampire ass Tristan! (Ch 22) I feel Tristan could’ve put together Ethan is the halfblood if he wasn’t so infatuated with Ethan. Or at least be able to have suspicions that it is Ethan. But alas, Tristan is head over heels for this vampire stud. The mutual attraction that they have for each other is so god damn magnetic. Once Ethan was close enough he didn’t want to leave Tristan’s side and got real possessive. Question is why, why is Tristan so delectable to Ethan? Is it just a personal chemistry thing? I’m assuming it is simply the chemistry between them but... (Ch 35) My baby no! That scene they filled is gonna become a reality so much sooner than we all want! Tristan isn’t gonna be able to kill Ethan, and Ethan isn’t going to let Tristan go. (Ch 40) And that scene became reality. Fuck. Tristan, why’d you have to go and tell your shitty uncle the truth?! You fucking idiot! You should have known better! Ethan baby, oh baby, oh my precious baby. Fuck, I’m sad. (Ch 48) I’m so proud of both of them. (Ch 56.5) Why does Tristan’s uncle have to be so disgustingly sleazy? He’s terrible in every conceivable way. He has nailed his role as the irredeemable antagonist who is so gross you’re unable to enjoy his character as a well written villain. (Ch 65)
Dream-Like Lie
Complete ch 65 + Special I’m not 100% clear on Cha Dohyuk’s trauma is. It’s bothering me. I get the gist of it so it’s fine, I guess. Woo Haeseo is much more straightforward. (Ch 30) Cha Dohee is brutal. The two of them are going to be fine. Woo Haeseo will make it so. (Ch 63)
The Devil
Ch 24 Both of them are cursed. Then the younger brother has a good handful of complexes all on his own. This is a wild ride to say the least. (Ch 23)
Sincerely: i Became a Duke’s Maid
Last ch 108 I don’t even want to think about how many times the spelling for the names has changed. (Ch 93) This is one hell of an epilogue, it’s basically a sequel. (Ch 108)
I Became the Villain's Mother
Last ch 81.5 Roselia, Cassius, and Ain, holy fuck. Is she naive, yeah to a degree. She gets lost in the environment that they have built together and forgets that there are things outside of the bubble she lives in with her family. My biggest comfort is that she isn’t completely oblivious to the inner natures of Cassius and the potential for Ain to go full dark. Roselia doesn’t piss me off. An amazing accomplishment on it’s own. I am waiting for her to be targeted, since she is the big weakness of Cassius and Ain. (Ch 46) Her boys are taking care of her, even if it means destroying everyone in her path. (Ch 51) She’s more upset over the possibility that all the happy times they shared as a family were fake than Cassius and Ein’s actions. (Ch 54) Cassius can’t beat Ein’s Bishounen Tears attack, it’s super affective against Roselia. (Ch 58) She cut her hair! They all look great. Cassius’ looks are timeless. I want to rip the original leads a new one. Both of them are so annoying and inflexible. That dumb bitch doesn’t know her place. Her family might have a good reputation but her only worth is being close to that idiot crown prince. (Ch 64) If they love Roselia, they are a good person. Have Roselia and Cassius not had sex in 7 years? Does she keep stopping it before they get too intimate? If that’s the case, why? (Ch 67) Do they not have birth control in this world? Come on! Just tell Cassius you want to discuss birth control. Your husband will gather every safe option for you and then you can pick the one you’re comfortable with! You can be intimate with your husband without getting pregnant, Roselia. It’s not like Cassius is trying to embrace her with the intentions of having another child, he just wants to be intimate with his wife, that he super loves so much. (Ch 73)
Hitsuji no Kawa wo Kita Kemono
Last ch 14 I can’t tell if I’m so annoyed because I just can’t understand their feelings or if it’s just not the way I would have written it based on how things had gone. It’s plot heavy. (Ch 9) After rereading and thinking about it more, I think I was so annoyed because it wasn’t over but they were trying to put an end to it. Tatsumi Keigo has so much to work through. Daichi’s all grown up and tackling life, but Keigo’s story has only scratched the surface. I wanted more of Keigo’s point of view, now we’re getting that and I’m so fucking for it. He’s the one with an interesting past, his thoughts are the ones I want to know! Second volume, let’s go. Let’s get to the boy I care about! I like Daichi as a character, and I do think he’s cute. But his personality is one that I’m not a fan of in the real world. (Ch 10)
