manga & manhwa

below are my thoughts and opinions on manga/manhwa i am reading or have read. these are not meant to be super consise or reviews, rather just an outlet to get thoughts out of my brain. you are not safe from spoilers.


"the duchess's contract marriage". status: incomplete | left off: chapter 45

i am back again with reading bad otome isekai romance. this one is a lot more interesting though as the main character isn't the one that is regressing, rather it's the ML. i also like the trope play and role reversal, with the ML being the "damsel in distress" character and the FL being the "cold, duke of the north".

nothing but love and hearts for the ML louie...no ML is cuter to me than ones who are shy and blushy (seeing as nine from beware the villainess is one of my fave MLS of all time..yeah). plus he has long hair and everyone knows how i feel about male characters with long hair haha

i'm glad that louie isn't a useless character and has some personality to him. seeing him be the one who is stuck in the death loop is interesting as well, since it's usually the FL. it makes me laugh everytime he starts comparing his life to random romance novels, like baby you've gone through how many lives??

him and bea compliment each other well and oh my god..the romance they have im literally AWWAUGH. i love them immensely. hold onto that contract babes its not gonna be a contract much longer

im kinda upset that the s1 finale ended so. weird? i wish it had a more satisfying ending but oh well.

overall, i'm really enjoying this one. i think that the main pairing is really cute and im super in love with louie. im hoping what the overarching plot will be outside of the romance, but it does seem they're setting up something bad happening in the north so that's good

☆☆☆☆ 4/5 stars. will continue to read in the future.


"the banished villainess' husband". status: incomplete | left off: vol 2 chpt 9

this one is cute. im liking how the two characters atually have chemestry with one another and their romance slowly grows rather than it being a "love at first sight".

i like that it's from the ML's perspective rather than the FL. i also like that the FL is the one who is the reincarnator and we don't see her perspective, but we do get to see her thought process at times when she gives the ML ideas for his inventions.

the two of the are really cute, but aren't at the stage of romance yet. they're still slowly trickling it in which i appreciate a lot.

i really like their work dynamic as well, especially with the FL using her past life knowledge to inform the ML on inventions and business strategies. it makes for really funny dialogue and explainations for how they're able to fend for themselves after being banished.

overall, the story is pretty good but not so reeling that it's for sure one i'll continue to read. we'll have to see, but this one has a lot of potential

☆☆☆ 3/5 stars. might continue to read in the future.


"father i don't want this marriage". status: incomplete | left off: chapter 92

breathes in. breathes out

i adore the plot for this one and the ML is so stupid and charming

the initial story that the FL finds herself reincarnated into is so?? sad and tragic. a story about a girl who felt so lost and unloved by those around her, that she committed suicide.

one of my favourite things in this has to be that the dad, duke floyd is a regressor. when that's realized in the story that it's his second chance to try at being a proper father to his daughter...OUCHIES!!!!!! oh my god, the dad is such a good character and it makes me laugh when he does a bunch of stupid shit. i also like his overarching plot with him being connected to the emperor, etc. it's interesting and brings a lot of stakes to the story.

oh max. the stupid little crown prince. i absolutely ADORE characters who are emo edgy and brooding, but they find the one person who can make them a bumbling mess. tell me why hes so dumb stupid all the time in the most loving way possible. the first attempt he made at trying to tell juvielle that he's the crown prince, but got distracted because he was too busy daydreaming about the two of them getting married in the future. amazing, wonderful. 10/10. he's so stupid dumb and i love him. good ML

i do like the FL. she's very much that bitch and takes charge when she's gotta. i dont have much to say about FL but i appreciate that she isn't useless and she isn't stupid. a lot of FL fall into that, so i'm glad juvielle has some gut to her.

overall i like this series and im really liking where the plot is going. watching the series progress and seeing what the characters (especially the dad) were thinking in the original book is really interesting and provides insight that juvielle can't.

☆☆☆☆ 4/5 stars. will continue to read in the future.
