Finally a story delving deep into the “controlled by the story” aspect! So many have failed but this one did a great job building a world of characters that struggle with the conflict of having a predetermined fate but also existing as an independent person separate from the story. Love the author gets called out. Edith survived thru kindness and strength but goddam they could not stop glazing her up towards the end like we get itt. The OGs having their yuri ending <3
4/10
The art is so gorgeous. I really liked the fast and engaging pacing. A true villainess, evil dark fantasy where no one was good, not by choice but by environment, to survive. The glimpses of cute blushing btwn brutal murder made it extra cute, imagine the lost potential. I can’t help fawn over Dion, my insane hotty. I was so excited for the other house boys and more crazy obsession. I am very sad for the author and am sending wishes, this may be dropped but it was beautiful.

I love the art style sm. BUT I’ve never been so disappointed by an ending before. Sm lost potential to dive deeper into what it means to be a human. How psychopathic he was at the start but slowly revealed emotions for his mom, Kathy, and even Ivan. Insight to his obsession with killing. GIVE ME ANYTHING. For peace of mind; story ended when his mom died. I loved it sm the ideas and story but then it gave me crumbs at the end.

Iconic yuno baddie this was great for its time but rereading it im lowkey confusion on a lotta things but its nostalgic so wtv. Idk i didnt rlly feel the passion and love at end bc of the constant betrayal and mistrust. Like im all for irrational love but commit bro (ik yandere shit but yuki just love herr). The ending was v much ooh wow it all worked out somehow, great. I like that the plot twists twisted. Shocked everytime reminded that they’re still in fucking middle school tf

Began when new now fin! The art, story, humor so well developed so must put high on list. Whole manhwa screams GIRLBOSS. But like the moral? I’m me?? Like dafuq kinda cringe. Rlly insteresting concept of being controlled by the novel but exploration was too surface. Liked relationship roles, very diff than usual so so cool. Side stories my FAV, I LOVED IT more than main story even. Also fav parts were the “ml” scenes after being disciplined by Melissa lmao

The art is BOOTIFUL! It pains me that I can’t put this higher bc was disappointed. Was good until deaderland arc. But I liked the hero narrative, the selfish justice warriors, and human desires ideas. Didn’t cry EXECPT for the butterfly and mud ball duo who were bullied, why author no let them final win by killing that asshat AT LEAST. Idec abt jagaan or belle, she was only important just cuz she wanted his genes?? weird flex but ok. Moral of story that I got: do what u want.
3.5/5
I love the art and the first part but the ending sucks ass. But I still enjoyed it, the ending shouldn’t overwrite everything else about it. Ok so, I don’t blame Ruve bc he’s literally two different people but bitch why did Tia end up with him after all the abuse? Not to victim blame but I don’t get it. The story had so much potential and set it up like it was going towards the path of defying fate but it just ended up with the message being, bitch you thought.
3.5/5
I rlly liked that they showed affection (phys&feelin) for each other right away like we didn’t need to wait 100+ ch! Loved ml bc altho he’s cold and mysterious he never was a dick, they very aborbs. Usually I’m not into the divine energy stuff but I was rlly into the plot line. My fav is soleria bc technically she bad person but let’s just forget that and mention she had depth and reason for revenge and she’s loyal to her ppl. I love my toxic hot baddies
3.5/5
Reread as this had been in my kokoro since middle school. They both shit. Feels bad for Darin but ick he needs major therapy. Also pear and darin relationship v like HUH NOW WHAT. Does he love him? Feel bittersweet? He such backstabber to Wally and no explanation at all like y. Loved the character development by the end tho and the art rlly improved too. Cherry and Berry friendship best ship loved their dynamic. +100 points for nostalgia (me 19 now)
3.5/5
That was verrrry interesting. Kids murdering adults is actually so funny and fucked up but I was most intrigued by everyone’s backstories. For them, it was normal to kill bc all they’ve ever known is abuse and hate. The amalgam of innocence and final destination brutality sets the tone as to why this is so sad, they’re just kids man. I liked plot twist that he was only pretending to be nice LOL made sense why he ended up there. May they find happiness as stars.

I Thought It Was a Common Isekai Story
