aco's 2024 read list

> 8/10. great art and story. genuinely has me hooked and one of the few manwha's i look forward to updating whenever it does. story directions feels nice so far (05/05/2024), as the FL's backstory gets more and more revealed. good characters that actually provide a good amount of substance to the world building and plot progression aside from just being there for the FL. one of this manwha's biggest blunders is how misguided and forced the ML seems to be for the FL. empress > ML

> 8.5/10. amazing art and seamless showing of the sotry within the rakugo making it seem alive and very vivid despite mainly being contained within the manga black-and-white of it all. wonderful blend of story and art. characters are very likeble as well. happy to see where it goes

> 9/10. love the female lead and how she loves her daughters. character arcs and romance are all very well written. genuinely has me anticipating newer chapters to see the plot advancements. ML is very likeable as well. I Love Iris.

> 8.9/10. really good art and genuinely gets you so invested into the mc in such little chapters. makes you feel like you're one of his viewers egging him on. cant wait to see how this goes, especially with his gold medalist background and formerly involved people within that space eventually coming in (as they usually do in these stories.)

> 7.8/10. I AM ON CHAPTWR 91. very good and steady start, but somewhere around the middle, the constant stream of tea infomercials and overall very boring (but realistic) business handlings got too heavy for a one session manwha. the only reprieve in that onslaught of information are the cute moments between ML and FL. will pick up again one day, but overall still very good and intriguing. a good break from overall plot heavy manwhas, but can get exhausting in its own right.

> 10/10. out of every single villainess time travel reincarnation manwha i've read so far, this is by far the best of the best. the pacing of the plot is well done, art is amazing, plot reveals are just the perfect amount of confusion and predictability to make this type of story thrive. it allows the reader to come up with their own answer, and rewards them with a satisfying conclusion when correct. the romance between aria and asher is well done and realistic in their buildup of trust. (1/?)

> 10/10. if hourglass was the perfect villainess manwha as it Should Be, this is the perfect villainess manwha as it Could Be. story lines, motivations, characters and personalities. the art. the ending. everything in this story absolutely comes around and manages to make one of the most compelling and worthwhile reads ive had in so long. the world building is presented exactly as it is in the original story as the Protagonist read it: complete to us, yet incomplete all the same.

> 8/10. honestly a really good and accurate depiction of autism in children which is suprising considering the setting. good art. story does well whenever the crown prince isnt on screen.
