I Will Become the Villain's Poison Taster
45
The strong point of this webtoon is the ML and his affection for the MC. There isn’t anything too special about MC until hinted at after 30 chapters. Although she is pretty normal she’s not irritating like some other webtoon’s female protagonists.
26 There really isn’t any importance to her ability to taste poison as fruits. It only saved her from being killed in prison. Considering the dangerous criminal setting I don’t understand what could be the reason for making the MC completely useless. She is as normal as can be, forgets how dangerous her surroundings are and is really weak. She’s completely vulnerable to physical and magic attacks so she needs rescue all the time. She doesn’t share any of her “novel” knowledge either, she just randomly brings it up if it comes up in conversation. It seems even her knowledge is useless since she mentions the novel only focused on the character’s emotions, so she doesn’t know the details to important events. However it doesn’t even matter because ML also doesn’t really seem to care or need it, he doesn’t really ask and even if he does it doesn’t change any of his plans. It feels confusing so far as to why ML is growing fond of her if he is a dangerous villain.
I really like the art for the ML as well and seeing him completely smitten makes MC hard to hate because it’s not like she is bad. She is just slightly annoying and too ridiculously lucky for her circumstances that it makes it an uninteresting read. At least she hasn’t done something too obviously stupid from her own choices. Perhaps this story is just really slow. At 26 chapters barely anything has happened.
33 After a few more chapters I think what the author is going for is that ML doesn’t need someone that could be of use to him, but someone who he can simply have by his side comfortably. If she stood out in her abilities I think ML wouldn’t have come to trust her easily, so making her harmless made her more approachable on a personal level for him. I don’t know his whole backstory yet, but we know he has had zero trust in anyone before MC and he might not be such an evil villain that was shown in the ‘original novel’.

54. Ngl after she returned to her body it was a series of her causing dumb misunderstandings, jumping to dumb conclusions and then doing something dumb. Feels like 15 chapters could’ve been saved. I liked her better as a bird lol I hope things clear up.

I Became the Tyrant’s Servant
31. The translation is really bad. Due to the bad translation I can’t tell if the storytelling or the translation is ruining how this reads. I can’t understand the reasoning for why the duchess does things, because it just seems really stupid when things backfire on her (literally gets herself almost killed so many times) when it was obvious nothing good would come out of it. Her advantage as a transmigrator is used without explanation as well. At first it would at least show a snippet scene from the novel she read but then with the wine it was ridiculous. For example, emperor asked for 300 year old wine so she goes to the middle of the ocean and finds a bag full of it simply because she knows from the novel. No explanation as to how it just states ‘it was in the novel’. It’s really sad because the art is really good, I love the art style and I really like black hair male leads when drawn like this.

19. The storytelling is not so great, and plot is cliche. The art is good though and I like the ML design, but it breaks my heart that the second male lead is dark hair (I love dark hair characters) and from spoilers he doesn’t have a good character. Only 19 chapters in so far and I dislike just how much Jiho (2nd male lead) is being used as a way to make MC stand out because she learned things from him in her past life. Trying to make her seem like a transmigrater but she is actually a regressor who learned things from the actual transmigrater, Jiho.
The interactions between mc and ml though are really good compared to the rest of the story.

6. Simple, nothing too special for this type of trope and translation is off, but it’s not too bad and I like it so far.

I usually don’t like gaming plots, but after reading a few similar ones, I guess I don’t mind when it’s a romance. It’s probably because they have an actual life outside the game. So far the story is mostly in game and with chibis. However, this was surprisingly chill to read and I liked the humor. No romance yet, but I’m enjoying how it’s going so far.

(18) The art is good and I like most of the humor, but there’s something about the story that is hard to understand, I’m not sure how to pinpoint it. At the start I was really interested but 16 chapters later and nothing that really makes me want to keep reading. I think it’s because Catherine has no goals, she just goes along with the events of the story. There isn’t a main plot and things aren’t explained very clearly. Maybe it’ll get better the further I read.
My Favorite Novel Has a Weird Epilogue
5. It feels too exaggerated, I don’t know how to describe it. It reminds me of makjang k-drama. It just all feels kind of ridiculous, the plot and specially the female mc’s reactions. She was acting crazy at first and it wasn’t that bad but then she kept screaming and over reacting to so many things as she was learning about the story she is in. I don’t anticipate it will get better if it was like this in just 5 chapters.
