The Beast Tamed by the Villainess
It’s interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve read a couple with as twisted and dark of a relationship as this one. Are they toxic? Are they healthy? Does the ML (Magnus) love the MC (Ilyna)? Does he want revenge? I love the complex plot full of dichotomies. I like how all sides of their relationships are displayed. The MC and ML are multifaceted with no clear “villain.” The angst and the toxicity is so addicting…
Turning a Crazy Dog Into a Young Master
This is really good. A major part of that is the ART. It’s so fricking scrumptious. They make Ceres look so handsome im done. Anyway, I like how the MC is a priestess, who didn’t transmigrate, reincarnate, or do anything like that. I like her complex character! She’s mature but also has her vulnerable moments.The ML’s past is interesting as well. I like their casual and close dynamic with each other and how the ML is so clingy hehe
I Think I Have Transmigrated Somewhere
I like how this isn’t just romance! There’s a fair bit of fantasy too with the world ending, the MC and the ML having powers, and the MC’s sister being a regressor and whatnot. The romance is nothing special as are there character designs visually, but I love how the leads care for each other. Their dynamic is cute but a little frustrating, though. I like how they quarrel and are honest with each other. The side couple is kinda cute, too… but only kinda 47
Concealing Sacred Simplicity
22 I really like this! The setting is immediately what drew me in. In a world where there’s magic, I usually expect some sort of medieval backdrop, but this surprisingly is more modern. Maybe mid 1900s-ish I’m not quite sure. I love the desaturated yet warm art style, too. Mature lead characters are always my jam! Kind of reminds me of “Turning” a little.
I Thought It Was a Common Isekai Story
This is so freaking good! It stays true to its title. This is a very original take on isekai. The ML (Killian) was jerk at first, but he redeemed himself. I adored his character development. I like how the author treats the subject of sex like I've seen a lot of isekai approach it with this pure mindset and whatnot, but this is different! There is a hidden truth to the setting, a mysterious force that drives the characters of the novel to adhere to the original story. Very interesting and also splendidly written. Love the leads' chemistry.
The Villainess Wants to Enjoy a Carefree Married Life in a Former Enemy Country in Her Seventh Loop!
at first, i thought this was just a light read, but the plot is fairly complex. the ml has an interesting character. he’s kind of morally grey in a sense; he kills people, not without reason, but he does. I like how the mc is so capable. she’s well rounded from all of her previous lives, and she’s strong enough to take care of herself! love that and also how the ML believes in her. anyway, they’re both such cool characters. slow paced story, but the world building and side characters are well written
I Am the Last Villainess He Has to Kill
29 LOVING the found family vibes ngl i think people are being too harsh. the main plot is pretty cliché, but this story adds its own twist to it. even the side characters are interesting. the art isn’t the greatest, but this is worth it imo. there’s also an actual gay side couple (zanbar x jenkins) which is rare in these types of manhwa
Please Don’t Come To The Villainess’ Stationery Store!
84 So freaking good. A dark skinned ML??! HE'S SO SCRUMPTIOUS LIKEEE ugh. i love how this shows platonic relationships as well. it's refreshing how dominick isn't a love interest, but rather, part of the MC's family. Everything about this is pretty uplifting. I like seeing the MC help children, comfort them, be there got them, and stuff. The revenge aspect is also pretty satisfying (tho the villains aren't out of the ordinary).
Foam of the Sea
this is insanely well written. the conflict between the north and the south feels realistic. the character development of the MC is also quite tangible. she goes from a pampered noble lady to a girl who does not care about status. her personal growth too and the themes of letting go of regret. just love that. but the ML… phew THAT PLOT TWIST WAS SO GOOD?! no spoilers but it’s been such a long time since a story has managed to rivet me like this. the characters are all nuanced, even the mc’s killer and ex-lover. art is good. really good story 45
