Another top contender in my list as it is a story worth telling anyone. FL was strong-willed and never once wavered. She just wanted to go home, that’s all. Romance was also amazing and worth noting. Would recommend reading.

Oh wow this is just amazing and wholesome… Plot is unique but not complex which is quite fitting for a pure story like this. Romance is also straightforward and ml is the 1 standard for all mls. I might make it sound boring based on my review, but this is easily top 3. Also, art is top notch—especially for a book that’s complete. Seunghyeon singlehandedly takes the best looking ML in manhwa universe. Would recommend reading.

Watching this book develop over the years feels like watching my offspring grow up. This was just such an endearing read and I will always experience nostalgia every-time I come across this from now on. Plot is top tier and it really had my heart in a chokehold. I don’t know if I’m just sad that it’s over or if the ending just felt a little bit rushed. Would recommend reading it for sure.

I put this on this list because it was such a roller coster. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s definitely a read for grown ups. Its theme is mainly about being hurt and learning how to forgive. In my honest opinion, it was certainly different and that’s what I liked about it. I also sobbed multiple times over this. Would recommend reading for the uncs and aunts out there.

This was just an amazing read I would promise you that. Every event and character, down to the past and future, all were planned and executed perfectly. There was no stone left unturned within the story and everything just aligned so well. Fl was remarkable and intellectual. She was brave, strong, and calculating. Despite the cover insinuating a love triangle, worry not because there were none. Overall top notch plot. Would recommend reading.

The perfect villainess was also illustrated to contribute to the story’s great ending. Would recommend reading.
