Straight 5 romance harlequin

7,3/10
It was a cute story. I especially liked the FL's little brother and the fact that the romance actually developed.

MEMORY LOSS, RESTAURANT
When she and her little brother find the arrogant and rich politican who planned to evict them at their dorstep and he claims to have lost his memory, they decide to deceive him and make him their apprentice at their stakehouse.

7,5/10
It was ok. I quite liked the idea of a blind ML mistaking the FL for an old woman. But he slept with her nevertheless and felt drawn to her bc she smelled like his dead little sister? Ew ...

FINANCIAL GAP, BLIND ML, CHILD
An employee gets asked by her temporarily blind boss to help in his household and his son. The two grow closer but he thinks of her as an old woman bc of her attitude. Now, she fears that he will leave her when he can see again.

7/10
It was a typical Cinderella story, quite cliché: a rich man falls for a pure and loving poor woman. But honestly, he was quite a jerk. He married her bc he deemed her pitful enough to anger his father and thus saw her as a tool. It's unrealistic how he changed so much so fast.

FINANCIAL GAP, WEDDING
A billionaire asks the FL to marry him and divorce after 6 months to win a bet against his father and take over their company as a prize. She agrees for the sake of her son.

8/10
This was so wholesome, I loved it. The FL was captivatingly cheerful and honest, not this kind of insecure and weak FL. She managed to teach the formerly cold ML real love. The art was good too.

CHILD, FINANCIAL GAP, REUNION
One year after she left the ML, they meet again at the bar she works at. Unbeknown to him, they have a child she raises with her mother and grandmother. But can she trust the man again who only met her in secret?

8,2/10
It's a nice take on Dickens. I really like the story's message: one should seek for love and happiness instead of money and goods. It has a happy ending.

MASION, COMMONER, HISTORICAL
A commoner who made a lot of money by himself buys a mansion and intends to run a factory in the nearby village using modern machines. But when he meets a beautiful commoner lady, he begins to question his focus on money alone.

3/10
Oh my, the story is as pink as the ink it's drawn with. The FL is this typical weak and immature "I'm sooo plain but I'm different" girl and the build-up for the romance is pretty bad.. Read it if you want cliché, the concept is cute.

STAR, DATE CONTEST
As her brother participated in a date contest under her name and won the first price, the FL has to go on a date with a famous singer. But when she falls for him, she decides to hide her feelings as they're from different worlds.

7/10
It was ok. The romance wasn't developed in a good way as the ML always thought of his dead wife but I liked the relationship of the FL and his daughter.

JUDGE, CHILD, THEFT
When her boyfriend deceives her and makes her his accomplice for stealing a painting, the FL tries to run away. On the train, she meets a judge and his daughter and he promises to help her if she stays at his mansion and takes care of his daughter until everything is resolved.

7,5/10
I liked it. The characters were true to themselves. I especially liked the ML, he was a sweetheart. But the aunt was a bit overprotective and the FL too dependent on her.

SECRET IDENTITY, WALLFLOWER
Raised by her 2 aunts, the FL is known as a uptight wallflower in her village. But at night, she dresses up and works as a waitress. One night, the ML meets her and falls for her night self.

6,3/10
I really hated the ML. It's unrealistic how someone like him can realise his feelings and become a good husband at the end. He's a control freak who forces the FL to do what he wants. Just no!

REUNION, CHILD, JERK ML
Years ago, they were in a passionate relationship, but when she told him about her pregnancy, he threw her away. Due to the shock, she had a miscarriage and left. Years later, they meet again. When the ML realises that their child's twin survived, he comes at her again

8,6/10
I really liked it. The FL was refreshingly strong and honest and thought the ML was a bit sexist at the beginning, he got better. Their relationship developing from disdain to love was well executed.

SOLDIER, HISTORICAL, STRONG FL
After her brother's death on the battlefield, the FL only has his brother's superior's promise to help her if she needs it when her family arrives at her mansion and tries to take everything from her.
