Between the Lines

The author really had the space to make the seme as fucked up as they wanted, but the seme turned out to be pretty boring for the premise of the story. I was expecting something more hardcore since it’s in the story summary, and was disappointed by the outcome. Not much personality

This was such a sad let down. It’s rated and reviewed so highly by other people, but reading it I couldn’t stand the female lead. It felt like she couldn’t say a single thing on her mind, and just went along with all the things going around her. It would have been much better if she actually spoke up and didn’t just think all the shit I actually wanted her to say outloud. I couldn’t get past the first quarter of the story

Another let down for being so highly reviewed, I liked the story a little bit as it went on (only because of the male lead). But had to skip the first 30 chapters because of how annoying the female lead was. I’ve learned that I really don’t like people who can’t stick up for themselves. There’s definetly a difference between being soft hearted and just completely weak. I didn’t have any sympathy for the female lead in the beginning, but it’s cool she gained the ability to fight later on

The art and the plot is honestly stupid. Her family is extremely shitty and the plot didn’t have enough reason to keep the reader engaged. I give the author props though for making a decently different type of story from these normal ‘isekai imperial lifestyle shojo’ mangas (not really though cause somehow she gets a proposal from the imperial family when her family is almost completely broke. So unrealistic)

It was good, and there were moments i genuinely enjoyed reading this. But it got so tiring towards the end. A stereotypical girl trying to covet her lover, her constant uselessness or people trying to stop her from doing the one thing she’s actually good at, and a constant emotionally rollarcoaster of back and fourth mental illness. I appreciated that they tackled an important illness like ED, and that’s truly the only thing I can appreciate from this. It was typical isekai in a lot of ways

Ts is so trash bro (the plotline sucks, I can understand the general idea but they just jump all around. The doll uke is cringe asf and unrealistic. The plot premise is unique to some degree, but terribly executed. Idk how this has a 9.4 rating but I’m in disbelief. No way this got a higher rating than other mangas that have actually good plot execution and art)

Rated 9.5, but the plot is inconsistent. The dialogue is childish. And the art is basic. I read all chapters so far, and the story is boring honestly. It’s nothing new or special. And all the characters felt one dimensional
