Good for Maxi! She's finally built up the confidence to stand up for herself and what she wants. I like that she's progressed from "gosh he's giving me all this finery, I hope he doesn't figure out I don't deserve any of it" to "I don't deserve him telling me to just sit and look pretty all the time"
Fingers crossed that riftan will get off his bs once they talk it out.
You just know when the teacher gets back, Raul's gonna mistake him for a woman and politely decline his marriage offer, much to everyone's confusion
Literally anyone: attempts to murder Reirin
Reirin: ..... a friend?????
This is very cute- I love the magically enforced safe word.
I wish Killian had a different haircut than cliff, I'd probably like him more if he had like shoulder length hair so he wouldnt just look like a more boring version of cliff. Or maybe if he had more personality traits besides "insecure about his brother" and "is nice to his love interest".
I really like how the story subverted expectations with juheon; at the beginning he was framed as this two faced, pretending to be nice but is secretly a psychopath type seme. We all know this yaoi trope and so does Dohoo. But Juheon's just a normal guy who is reasonably pissed about being harrassed. If anything doho was the toxic one- which you rarely see in the pov character
I actually really like this story - it falls right into my enemies to lovers sweet spot -where BOTH characters are behaving badly, but not irredeemably so. i HATE enemies to lovers shit that's just the girl being normal and the guy harassing/abusing her for No reason. I feel like this pair both give as good as they get and the power dynamic never feels too skewed
Everyone's trash talking the ml, but from his pov this lady did a mass murder and got away with it bc she was too powerful to prosecute (we the readers know they probably deserved it but he doesn't know that.) And his sister, who would presumably know the whole situation basically condemned her.
I think ML is just as protective of his knights as FL is of her apprentices since he's trained them since they were young; and even if Gray sorta deserved to get force-choked, ml's first impulse was to save him, tho he is being a twat by refusing to admit any wrongdoing.
I quite like the FL since I love when the heroine gets to be the sexually aggressive one, and I like how she leans into her reputation as a villainess
My trope-senses say that black haired guys gonna be the ml; kinda disappointed as I was hoping they'd split the difference age wise and set her up with someone at least in his mid-thirties, or maybe go full daddy forties. Have both of them hesitate to get together since they're Both too old for each other. Have her call him Young Man- that kinda thing.
At most I now hope black hair is also reincarnated- her dead ally or the hero(who died after her grew older as well)
Bit too convenient the curse doll decided (unprompted) to give Hanseol both a plot summary and a current location. Maybe if hanseol was thinking "I just wanna know where that bastard went" or "what the f was he thinking" when he touched it, since the doll responds to hostility and wishes
Don't panic everybody, that injured arm could belong to the pervert after our boy pulls an uno-reverse card on him
Git you a man who can recognize your hands thru blood stained gloves
I know that they probably will fuck, but I'm reeeally hoping that they don't, not in this life, since purple clearly views him as his adopted son. Have dragon boy pine for him, then horny king shows up, kills uke out of jealousy, dragon eats king, then takes worlds longest depression nap. I'm fine with them fucking in the next life since they both forgot their past and met as two adults who haven't raised each other. I don't think dragon ever got uke to eat his pearl, cause then they would've just met up in heaven rather than wait 300yrs for his reincarnation.
Am wondering how purple even has descendants since the king killed all his relatives and I highly doubt that he's just gonna go find his wife and continue the family line at this point
I like both of the lady rivals, it feels like they could both be heroines in their own stories; the shy book-smart heroine, the ambitious villainess-coded heroine, and our mc is the badass sword-weilding heroine.
I'm hoping for a rivals-to-friendship arc where mc wins them over by acknowledging their skills. Recruit Book-smart into an admin/research leadership role where she doesn't have to constantly make herself small, and enthusiastically discuss pigeon breeding with Villainess (it probably isn't a popular discussion topic among the city nobles)
I'm glad I pushed pass the initial second hand embarrassment of Luke's stalking attempt-- they have really good chemistry and the art is so pretty
And I'm glad luke decided to let Andrew tell him about his past on his own terms rather than hearing it from someone else
Azam was suuuper hot; 5 stars for the smut.
I love when the bottom is DTF ( "yes, harder" > "noooo waaaiiit")
Did not like the sudden heel-turn into surprise choking/murder consideration, felt out of character and ruined the nice consensual vibes
Plot-wise both times they left each other felt stupid and badly rationalized. Just felt like poorly contrived drama
Also the child SA felt weirdly sexualized
I love the rational, assertive, mature (not limited to age) and independent type uke a lot. Their cool and relaxed personality is very refreshing to me....In other words I hate whiny, crybaby and weak minded uke.i can never enjoy them let alone feel sympathy when they face trouble lol! So~
WARNING
this list will have uke that I find,
COOL & Relaxed
Elegant &
Hot
Queen or slutty
& Most of all, jaw dropping beauties that knows what they want!
I didn't read any comments before reading so I assumed this was a standard "top to bottom" where once they bottom they never go back, so I was pleasantly surprised to realize it was actually a switch pairing.
I really wish there were more verse yaoi, but I suppose they couldn't make sex positions into personality traits if characters Switched it up
I feel like the ml(her second-husband-in-waiting) is just kinda tacked on, like he has no reason to like her enough to bank roll her divorce when they barely know each other.
But I do enjoy the well-deserved Siscon mockery; them all fawning over twintails like a bunch of degenerates, then panning over to the FL just radiating disgust is great every time.
