54 - Omegverse make me cringe. The idea that the super reprodutor is limited by evolution is an utter nonsense and goes against every law of biology. It’s also one of the worse sexist bias i read about. So well, bad ass omega brings a little relief But fear the cute story might become bitter or angsty as the « rules » of society are just to use the omega as breeding tool, they are just meant to be chosen, raised like pet with no right to choose anything It’s slow, but it’s interesting - btw it’s a condition that actually exist for many women, except they probably are not that well treated as there’s no rarity

53 I’ll check only if there’s a he at the end ˆ ˆ;;; becoming a dragon’s lover in another world, Dojin, slowly has also to learn that his beloved dragon sacrificed himself 26 time already to save his life His power is exhausted and their loved seems cursed… so what can a simple guy do to make his happy ending happen ? The story telling is circonvoluted, and you learn little at a time The characters are interesting seems to have a bot of depth and room for growth… the art is pretty enough (it’s static and i don’t like the mouth much, but it’s ok otherwise) You don’t lose time with love me love me not, and our boys is a boy, not an effeminate version of a man…

Survive as the Hero's Wife

Ongoing | nokki (녹끼),abin (아빈) | 2000 released

C87 - What a surprise, the characters are rich and multidimentionnal, there’s no real stupid vilain, and everyone has their reasons. It’s also surprisingly deep at places and the female characters are really not pale compared to the male (so rare !). Appart from few silly episodes, the plot is having good measure of mystery and tension, it’s certainly doesn’t feel very deep, but it’s enough to feel satisfied, the character developpement and interactions being way enough to fill the pages. If that was not enough, it’s also truly a feast for the eyes

Stars-crossed Lovers

Complete | Young Dream, Papacoola | 2000 released

(I read it on webcomics, it’s virtualy free if you check in every day) This title is one of my favorite Visual poetry cross with humourous romance, sometimes the narration is plenty fun, over time touching and really pretty... The characters and story are plenty relatable and super cute... it makes you feel like traveling and maybe even falling in love (!) An absolute moment of grace and happiness to read

64 - everything is very slow burn, the MC is interesting, the ML not too bad, it’s by no way boring It’s quite pretty , well if your a fan of pecs and abs, you’re probably going to drool as the ML is quite often showing quite a bit of skin... https://www.novelupdates.com/series/beatrice/

120 - it’s another story where the girl becomes assertive meaning she learn to throw a superior title at anyone’s face, asking to be respected for that title She can now slap people because their rank is inferior (and they are mean that’s tue) A vilain is made out of a maid Ho is ambitious enough to covet the place of another commoner woman made noble to let the prince marry her It’s undisputed that it is unfair indeed that one would still be a mistreated maid when the other became a queen She is ready to do the dirty deeds of the king to become a mistress, but her ambition are judged And when both king and her are condemned, the king will be secluded in a luxurious room when she’ll go back to be a slave (without the wages this time) Status is all what matters ? How disappointing again 90 = 2.5 - slow , disappointing characters, alas very little about the fantastic part (body swap) that had me keep reading Borrow the principles of the movie « it’s a boy girl thing », with repetition, both learn respect and ways of the other, but the girl character is quite weak and seems a bit useless Sadly also, this gimmick is seldom used without much results and little resolution Both have bad childhood and broken people don’t heal each other’s wounds in reality - so I’m not that confortable with that trend - but it makes up a reason for characters being dishonest and resisting to their own feelings : not once, but twice (her, then him !!) - that boringly long (like 80+ chapters!) The idea is interesting and could go somewhere, or not, sadly it seems he learned more than she will ever do She’s the utmost archaic female stereotype: weak, passive, crying, babyish, blushing when holding hand after one year of marriage (no intimacy), kind (which should be nice) , but the Mary Sue way… so my old friends ( 90+year old) would maybe like her, but even them would probably also say it’s lacking spice She’s been utterly useless, except for one chapter 89 , which let us hope she is a bit more than the awfully misogynistic standard she’s been described as

A Kiss To My Prince

Pretty, not bad, but still weak, lots is still unsaid and then ending is really abrupt It had potential for a good plot, but instead there are lots of useless chapters full of silly interactions bringing the ,all thing down to feel rather empty and depth lacking

51 - istill don’t know if the mc baddly pisses me of , or if she ok. She’s independent but « loud » and capricious, as for the story it has some real good part The identity of the norh, the story of a genocide and it’s victims brings a lot of depth to that monster The reincarnation and choices of rebirth are truly interesting as they challenge the idea of fate and evil by nature :) So it kind of really needs an epilogue, as this is rather abrupt
