It's good thing Lucy is pretending to be married, because Scar doesn't trust women. He also gives her this employee agreement to follow. Yes, more guidelines! But honestly, they're pretty reasonable. Especially when you learn that Scar was constantly sexually harassed by previous maids.
This is Scar, Lucy's new employer. He's also a half-dragon who can't shift into full dragon form, so he just walks around with a dragon tail. Yeah, I don't know either, fam. And those scars? CURSED. Because of course they are!
This is Lucy. As you can tell by the outfit, she's a maid. She goes to work at this remote mansion. Ridiculously high salary, you know? Who cares that this is all suspicious? Weird rules? A ruckus upon arrival? It's FINE. 💲! And because she doesn't trust men, she says she's married. (Fair.)
For July, the #Manta webtoon I'm featuring is My Master Doesn't Bite. Now, don't let the title or cover image mislead you. This is NOT an R19 title. It's actually more of a lighthearted read. Let's talk about it in a thread. 🧵 #Sponsored #MyMasterDoesntBite
This is where our heroine comes in. She's the illegitimate daughter of a politician whose sole use to her family is to marry well. Lucky for Eunhyuk, she's docile, sweet & naturally submissive. But if Eunhyuk is a Booktok romance hero, Seowoo dreams of being the female lead of a R19 smut comic. 😅
This is Eunhyuk Kim, the control freak male lead. He's honestly your typical Booktok rich CEO romance hero. Right down to some abandonment issues that make him not believe in love. He just wants an obedient & docile wife who'll give him an heir.
I'm back with another Manta feature! As always, they asked me to take a look, but my thoughts are my own. So let's start a thread! ⤵️ #Sponsored #ObedientPregnancy #Manta #ManhwaRecommendation
All right, fam! Here I am with this month's Manta feature. You know the deal. They gave me a sneak peek, but all opinions are my own. They just dropped a new collection of short, spicy series. I chose to read The Celestial Robe Affair, a folktale retelling. #AGlimpseInside #Manta #Sponsored #ad
The past few months, I've talked about various webtoons available on Manta. But they recently added a TON of Kodansha titles. Yes, Manga on Manta! So they asked me to look at a manga title! And for that, I'm gonna talk about How I Met My Soulmate! ⤵️ #Sponsored #HowIMetMySoulmate #MangaOnManta
Anyway, reposting this from last week now that the S2 finale is out and we have confirmation of S3
What wasn't so great: - Ray is still dim. - Clodan's whole thing is that he refuses to let Ray's love heal him (?) & instead wants to drag her down to his terrible level (???). Bro. WHY? - The sweet, innocent FL & the cursed, brooding ML is my least fav romance dynamic. This is that PLUS toxicity
...alas. What I DID like: - We get Clodan's backstory. - We learn about the nature of the curse & how it affects the servants of the estate. - The flashback covering the promise between Clodan & Ray's grandfather.
I'm not gonna lie. Based on the first 10 episodes, I was pretty lukewarm on the series. I have no problem with red flag MLs. (I love Damien from Betrayal of Dignity, after all!) But Clodan really annoys me. Still, I wanted to see if the story improved, so I read 10 more episodes. You never know!
The latest chapter of Tears on a Withered Flower feels like a season finale.
F My Ex is a college romance between Eunyu, a studious math genius, and Jaeha, a rich boy who's returned from studying abroad. It's love at first sight for Jaeha. He pursues Eunyu, but between multiple jobs and classes, she has no time for dating. She keeps a wall between them, but he's determined.
Manta asked me to share my real thoughts on F My Ex, a contemporary romance webtoon! First off, the title is a bit misleading. So if you pick up the series, don't be confused. It doesn't begin aggro the way the name suggests! #FMyEx #Sponsored Here's the thread! 🧵
Viviana finds herself alive and well again, three months before her marriage to Alto. She decides she doesn't want to have an unfulfilling marriage, so she tries to break off the engagement. It doesn't go well. 😆 Instead, she and Alto agree to try to deepen their understanding of each other.
This leaves Viviana super unsatisfied. They don't communicate well. The sex is terrible. Eventually, she takes matters, ahem, into her own hands. Which leads to quite possibly to one of the most humiliating ways to die. So embarrassing, in fact, that the angels sent her back to live again.
In addition to being a romantasy (in the general sense, not the BookTok sense), this is actually a regression story! But in a low-key hilarious way. Let's start from the beginning. The webtoon revolves around Viviana & Alto. They had an arranged marriage. A very prim and proper one.
This month, Manta asked me to talk about a webtoon I've been reading for a little while now, The Duke's Fluffy Secret! If you look closely at the cover image, I bet you can guess what the fluffy secret is. 🤫 So here's a thread! 🧵 #TheDukesFluffySecret #Sponsored
Am I going on more ropes courses? Am I about to become a spy? What's going on here
Manta recently added a new feature to their app and asked me to take a look. What is it, you ask? It's the ability to read novels on a chapter-by-chapter basis! To test out the new addition, I decided to check out Flower of Allure, so here's a thread 🧵 #FlowerofAllure #Sponsored
While it's true that this IS a romance, I enjoy Maxi's journey and character arc the most! She really comes into her own. Here is where the main conflict comes into play: Riftan wants to give Maxi a pampered life, but Maxi wants to be worthy wife to Riftan and those two goals do not at all align.
