A very interesting story that just... stops. It's great up til that point (setting aside some issues with age gaps and imbalance of power in relationships), but so much is unresolved at the end that I have to deduct stars for it.
A spunky lady, a doting lover, and a wholesome relationship. If that's what you want in a comic, good news!
The revenge is a little nebulous, and the plot kinda meanders all over the place, but I forgive all its faults because it's funny and touching and full of characters I enjoy. It even has a happy ending! (Slightly rushed, but definitive.)
Long, but not "desperately adding new plot elements" long - the story all ties together, ends cohesively, and even gives mini endings for some of the side characters. The female lead is awesome. The male lead is top quality for the genre. The supporting cast is varied and interesting. 15/15!
Abrupt end, but the journey there is a lot of fun, so I'm not even mad. The female lead is a firebrand, her "dad" is hilarious, and the male lead is charming and mysterious(ish). If you can live without an ending, here's a great beginning and middle!
I'm usually not very tolerant of "male lead conceals his identity from female lead" setups because it's so disrespectful, but I think this guy gets his comeuppance for his sins, and he makes up for it in spades. The characters are dynamic, the plots are... genre-typical but not terrible, and the big finale knocks it out of the park.
A LOT of drugging with aphrodisiacs, some of which leads to noncon. If that doesn't dissuade you, the story itself is charming for its janky translation and its overdramatic twists. It's a poster child for the "turn back time and get pre-revenge" genre. It also has an unexpected redemption at the end (no spoilers!) which made me smile.
Perfect length, great pacing, engaging plot, well-developed characters! There are some loose ends here and there, and the translation is pretty janky, but the story stands up regardless. Lange is charming. The male love-interests are... well, they're men, so their quality varies drastically. The story ends neatly and without rushing.
This is a very satisfying read. The male lead is a sweetheart (but not a pushover or an idiot), the female lead is fun and friendly but highly motivated, and the story is just the right amount of complicated without jumping the shark.
Weird, cute, fun! It gets WAY too complicated toward the end, but almost everything is resolved by the end. The plot is largely fueled by misunderstandings, including historic ones. I really like the female lead.
