One Step Forward to the Flower Path
Ch 24. I mean it’s cute watching the FL get over her trauma, but so far that seems to be the only plot of the story. Which kinda gets boring after awhile, as cute as the doting family troupe is, there has to be more plot to the story, like revenge or something right. But so far it seems to be pretty slow. No ML in sight yet, still in her child phase, and we still don’t even know what exactly her power is yet. So yeah it’s cute but since there’s no real plot and suspense for me, Imma drop this for now
Ice
Ch 5, yeah this was a let down. Cover drew me in but story was annoying..or more like since the FL was so annoying I got annoyed. She’s so rude for no reason, I get you don’t trust ppl but you’re asking a guy for a favor you got to be at least respectful, but all she does is demand him help her while trying to kill him…like wtf. And even after he agrees to help her (for whatever reason Bc I still don’t know what benefit he gets from helping her) she’s still rude as hell. Honestly I guess the author tried to pass her off as being badass but shes really just coming off as a bad person. Meanwhile we only got introduced to the black haired guy rn but he seems to have the personality of an npc bc why is he even helping her? For what does he put up with her bullshit? Just bc? For sake of plot? Comes off as really empty
How to Hide the Emperor’s Child
Apparently ML is trash but she still ends up with him in the end
Flowers Rot and You Remain
Ch 12…yeah I don’t like any of the characters, except Henry and 2nd ML (even tho we only saw him once). Like Ik the ML probably has his reasons but damn I really hate cheaters and playboys. Playboy MLs are the worse. And man the FL gets on my nerves coz sis why tf you blushing and getting shy around that mans…HE’S A PLAYER. You’ve seen him breaking up with girls, you know he’s sleeping with girls, bro you know he even has a fiancé!! Like what tf are you doing?? But yet you got a nice 2ML waiting for you, dude is so genuine he even wants to build an orphanage for orphans like cmon man. Dammit I hate this. So I read spoilers that the ML will still use the FL even knowing he’s in love with her, she gets mad when she finds out and leaves. She goes to join war, and he follows her. And she forgives him…I mean I guess it’s a happy ending but man the characters are still so unlikable. Mans is a player and a user, and she falls for the trash even knowing how he is like….I know the author is gonna excuse everything Bc “oh they got trauma” but ugh I hate that trope
The disappearance of the Crown Prince of Joseon
Ch 58, honestly I’m intrigued by the story’s concept but damn the pacing and the storyline just get weirder and weirder like it’s hard to follow. At first the pacing was a little too fast like they fell on love and got married at like ch 14…but then it turned dark so quick…like damn didn’t even give me a chance to process things…and then she went back in time?? But yet still has the same scars?? Like idk man its so confusing. Like I still don’t know if she went back in time or not Bc the whole setting is screwed up when she wakes up from her 5 year coma so idk…but so far I’m still interested to see how the story ends…but I swear if the ML’s younger brother and his bitchass wife don’t get the karma of their consequences, imma hate this story. Like there better be no forgiveness or light punishments for them, they’re both scum. But I mean her less so Bc she’s actually a true villainess jist tryna get outta the hood..but she went too far. Him on the other hand just lets himself get manipulated even tho he knows she’s just using him..and then he blames it on someone else while hiding her crimes, so tbh I hope they both get punished but him more.

The Admiral's Monster Wife
Ch 26 (harimanga) eh honestly had high expectations for this but was disappointed. But I’m still interested to know what happens and how this will end. Well Ofc one coz translation was bad but that’s as to be expected since it’s on harimanga. But the art wasn’t that great either, kinda blocky and weird. The concept of the story was really interesting but the execution was so bad. Like I thought there was gonna be one cool action scene and it was just so strangely paced and weird and everything was solved in like a ch. our FL doesn’t seem to be that strong, yea she has powers but she seems really weak willed, which I guess I should’ve expected since she was abused by her last family but …idk she kept saying she wanted to protect her new family and the Duke so I was expecting her to get character development and be strong…but it seems she’s still like a damsel in distress and eh I don’t really like those types of characters so
Itan Empire's Jacheongbi
Ch 37, like the plot isn’t anything new but the way the author went about it is so cliche and Mary Sue. Like the FL really isn’t anything special, and niether are the male leads. Tho I can already tell the blond crown prince will be the end gáme ML, bc sliver hair boy is too nice and nice guys never win. And there’s no real suspense, like I’m not really looking forward to seeing whqt happenes next I’m just reading it to read it so.
The Double Agent
Ch 63, man this story made me sick to my stomach. I feel so bad for the FL, she’s endured so much and still it doesn’t seem like there’s a happy ending in sight for her. She’s fallen in love with her abuser even knowing him manipulated her feelings for him. He knew what to say to reel her in and it worked. Sure he also got caught but in the end it doesn’t matter, she still has the short end of the stick. He’ll keep using her for his benefit and she’ll have no choice but to comply. I actually wish she kept her hatred for him Bc honestly Ik he’s manipulating her but how could you fall in love with someone who’s tortured and abused you so bad? Idk maybe it’s was Bc he was her one light in this hell…but remeber he’s the reason she’s in this hell in the first place. Sigh, I really just want her to either kill him or just run away and get away from him. Hell I’ll even be happy if she kills herself to get away from him Bc at this point even death seems better than the life she’s living. Honestly such a dark and tragic story. So heavy for my heart. But one thing I know for sure even tho I waiver at times at the end of the day I hate the ML. And I hope he gets what’s coming for him.
The Golden Haired Elementalist
Ch 87, this story is more adventure/slice of life than romance, but I really do like the Fl. She's such a narcissistic conwoman with questionable morals but I can't help but stan her lol. It's rare to see a FL murder/torture people so brutally even though it's bad people. So I like morally grey anti hero FLs. The ML the black haired prince boy is Kinda annoying me tho bc i get he’s nice and kind and all,,,but I still feel like he’s incredibly naive, like I don’t know how he would even fare being an emperor with how timid he is. I get they needed a ML to balance out the FL’s feisty character but I would much rather her have ended up with the red haired rival she hates it even that dark elf that appeared once, bc strength and personality wise they seem to fit her more…but I guess she needs kind prince boy to balance her out I guess
