My Thoughts:
8/10
I LOVE the protagonist, Lippie. She is so smart and does not tolerate anyone’s bullshit
male lead also does not play around
we love a power couple who serves lots of instant karma like the badasses they are ❣️
the story’s main mystery is extremely interesting to follow and I can’t wait to see how it unravels
our characters stay as little children for at least 100+ chapters which you either love or hate
the story progression IS SLOW- i personally don’t mind as much but i am getting a bit antsy for some spicy detective work 🕵🏻
also is a little off putting when baby lippie speaks in full sentences because she keeps forgetting she’s a toddler
everyone is so pretty/ handsome?? the art is STUNNING- I will personally take brother hal if Lippie doesn’t ❣️
side characters get come quality character development and a lot of screen time which was very refreshing
lippie’s family is one of my favorite parts of the manhwa because they are so pure and over protective of their baby girl 😇
lippie protection squad
Conclusion:
Overall I really enjoy reading Lady Baby. I adore how witty Lippie is and love the karma that biotches get in return. Like I mentioned before, a major downside is that the story progresses painfully slow, but this is because there is a lot of character development for side characters which is unique in this manhwa. I still definitely recommend giving this a read as the art is gorgeous and it is a very solid manhwa!

Other works: Bastard (by same author and artist)
Summary:
After an unexpected family tragedy, a reclusive high school student is forced to leave his home -- only to face something much scarier: a reality where monsters are trying to wipe out humanity. Now he must fight alongside a handful of reluctant heroes to try and survive this hellish nightmare their world has become.
My Thoughts:
9/10
a classic apocalypse story but with an original concept/ twist
characters are very human, they are trashy and selfish, yet learn to overcome and go through some quality character development ❣️
the suspense kept me coming back every week to read the next chapter
the art is done so well! the monsters are grotesque and the fear in each characters’ eyes also sends chills down my spine 💀
be warned that it is kind of gory ⚠️⚠️
PROTEIN bastard still haunts my dreams to this day 💪🏽
art palette is dark and muted (similar to ‘Bastard’) which I really liked as it added to the eerie feel of the story
delves into the subject of “desire” and how it manifests in different people ❣️
Conclusion:
I will admit, I spent a little money to read the ending earlier because I love this manhwa so much. Sweet Home, like it’s cousin work Bastard, was one hell of an emotional roller coaster. I adored that fact that no one was too “mary sue” like. The characters were complex and had merits as well as faults. I also just loved the whole topic of ‘what does one truly desire’ that is also explored in the story so I HIGHLY recommend giving this a read on the Webtoon app!
**** UPDATE: As of December 2020, there is also a live action Netflix adaptation of this webtoon directed by the same direction as popular Korean dramas “Goblin” and “Descendants of the Sun”!

Summary:
Chang An in the Tang Dynasty of China (618–907): The demon star is passing through the sky, and calamity is about to befall the Tang Dynasty. Princess Yongning is forced to flee the castle after her family is killed. Because she is young, she is able to crossdress and pass as a boy and becomes renowned as a great military strategist. On her journey, she makes trusted allies with her skills as well as fearsome enemies while aiming to protect the Tang Dynasty and exact revenge for her family.
My Thoughts:
8/10
the art is so GORGEOUS
female lead is so charismatic and badass we stan 🙌🏻🙌🏻
despite being extremely cunning and strong, the female lead is still human and still makes mistakes
all of the characters are very realistic and written so well ❤️
there are moments when you love characters and moments when you despise them, just like real people
the plot is very engaging and the story line is unpredictable
although it is tagged as a romance, this story is more action focused
romance is s l o w ❤️
I also really appreciated the attention to detail regarding the historical details and chinese culture
Conclusion:
Despite the fact that this manhua is probably discontinued, I still say that it is definitely still worth a read. The thought of being left on a cliffhanger is not ideal, but you will certainly miss out on an masterpiece story with gorgeous art! Plus, it’s also fun to use a little imagination to imagine the remaining bits of the story!
i just finished what i think is my new favourite romance shoujo manga and definitely be posting abt it real soon 😍 😍

Related Manhwa: Sweet Home || by same author and artist
Summary:
There is a serial killer in my house!
To most people, Jin Seon’s father is a successful businessman, good samaritan, and doting parent. However that is merely all a facade. In truth, he is a deranged serial killer—and Jin is his unwilling accomplice. For many years, they have carried out heinous crimes right under the polices’ noses. But, when his father takes an interest in new transfer student, Kyun Yoon, Jin must make a decision—be the coward who sends her to the gallows like all the rest, or be the bastard of a son who defies his wicked parent.
My Thoughts:
8.5/10
a whole rollercoaster of emotions while reading this webtoon❣️❣️
the contrast between the triller and romance themes keeps you engaged with the story at all times
action happens the moment the story starts- the plot sets off immediately and there’s never any meaningly scenes that don’t enhance the plot of the story ❣️
the artist is so good at drawing the creepiest faces
maybe don’t read this in the dark... 😱
it’s not typical “horror” scary with too much gore, but more psychological and suspenseful type horror
Jin’s character development and the psychological walls that he has to break is so beautifully done ❣️
the colours are mostly really muted which sets an eerie vibe and brings out the expressions of the characters
i love the suspense of the plot which keeps readers on their toes! 🤗
if you’re scared of reading it, don’t be! I’m a chicken but still really enjoyed it!
Conclusion:
This was a great read from start to finish! I remember reading this while it was still “on-going” and I was always dying of suspense since I had to wait for new chapters to be released. I love the tension between Jin and his father and Jin’s character development throughout the story. Definitely check this out on the Webtoon app to support the original author and artist :)

Summary:
It is the early 1920s in the Taishou period of Japan. Tamahiko is the son of a wealthy family, but his life is changed forever when an accident cripples his right arm. Due to his disability, his father no longer considers him and heir to the family so, he is shuffled off into the country, to live out of sight.

One day, a young teen girl named Yuzuki arrives at his door and Tamahiko learns that his father has 'bought' him a bride to take care of him. She comes into his life like an innocent ray of sunshine, and Tamahiko's view of the world and his life starts changing bit-by-bit.
My Thoughts:
9.5/10
a hidden 💎 in the sea of romance manga
the story and two protagonists are very well written!
Tamahiko and Yuzuki are literally the sweetest and most endearing duo ever 💕
they are a little awkward and sometimes a little clumsy but that’s all a part of going through life
set in the Taishou era of Japan which is very interesting since it is also very near the times of WWI and WWII
my poor heart can’t take this anymore
👏🏻 tamahiko’s 👏🏻 character 👏🏻 development👏🏻
some spicy family drama brewing
pure, fluffy moments that lure you into a false sense of security because BAAM then the drama and sea of feels hit you like a bus 🚨
this manga makes me smile and giggle to myself like a mad man
Conclusion:
This hands down has to be one of my favourite romance mangas that I’ve read. The characters are very well written, the plot keeps you wanting more, and the relationship between Tamahiko and Yuzuki is so precious. This is a simple, fluffy, pure romance that is a MUST READ if you like romantic stories ❤️

My thoughts:
9000/10
the art is gorgeous!
every person, background, and each outfit are so detailed and unique- my eyes are spoiled ❤️
besides the basic plot of avoiding impending doom, there are many other big sub plots with very SPICY backstories and secrets
the awkward father/ daughter relationship is endearing and their interactions are very entertaining
around 20ish chapters of baby athy (she’s so cute omg)
all of the dialogue- especially athy’s inner monologue is hilarious
every male character looking fine as hell
pls be my daddy(s) ❤️
there is an intense battle within the fandom about who our girl Athy should end up with
the “villains” be looking fine so I can’t be mad at them 👉👈
ugh i cannot stop talking about the art and all of athy’s pretty dresses- if not for the plot, at least read this for the art
Conclusion:
If you haven’t already, you 100% should read and check out this manhwa on Tappytoons for the cutest emotional rollercoaster featuring a “cold” father and his adorable daughter who is trying her best to not die ❤️

Alternate Title: The royal lady with the lamp, Queen with a scaple
Genre: isekai, romance, historical
Author: yuin || Artist: mini
Status: complete; 143 Chapters
Synopsis:
Song Ji Hyeon is a surgeon and a genius doctor who was appointed as the youngest lecturer at Seoul University.
She carries memories of a previous life as Elise De Clorence who lived as a wicked woman. Due to her corrupt behavior, she dies a pitiful death and restarted her life as Ji Hyeon who was determined to change her wrongful ways.
Suddenly an unexpected accident occurs while she is on her way to Seoul University and when she wakes up, she's back in her previous life?! Will she be able to fix her past mistakes in order to prevent what happened in her first life?
My Thoughts:
8.5/10
a very sweet romance with cute art!
Elise is a little mary-sue-ish but she cute so she gets a pass
even though she is frail, she is not a cry baby and is super dedicated towards her work
we stan a couple who are considerate of each other’s feelings
i like how the story also continues even after the FL and ML confess and they get together ❤️
if you are nit picky, there are some medical inconsistencies and it’s not 100% realistic, but it didn’t necessarily bother me
even after the initial plot hurdle of the FL and ML getting together, there is an even bigger problem boiling within the royal family
AND THE PLOT THICKENS
the way this manhwa always sets you up by giving you sweet fluffy scenes, then choke slams you back into reality when the plot gets suspenseful again ❤️❤️
we also stan wearing masks during a pandemic stay safe! 😷
Conclusion:
Besides some nit picks here and there about being a little unrealistic, Doctor Elise/ Queen with a Scalpel is such a wholesome read. I think Elise is a wonderful role model as she is a nice balance of delicateness and strength. I also love the relationship between Elise and the ML because they are very considerate towards each other and are not toxic! If you’re looking for a sweet romance story, do give Doctor Elise a read!

Author/ Artist: Morimoto Kozueko
Status: Completed; 15 volumes + special chapters (2000-2007)
Synopsis:
Fresh out of college, Kumiko "Yankumi" Yamaguchi becomes a math teacher at an all-boys high school. Unfortunately for her, she's assigned by the school board as the homeroom teacher for class 2-D, which happens to be the class of delinquent students. When the class attempts to make a living hell out of Yankumi's career, they fail as her persistence and aggression gain their respect. However, little does anyone in the school know that Yankumi is actually the heir to the Kuroda Group - one of Tokyo's most powerful yakuza clans.
My Thoughts:
9/10
Yankumi is badass and I’m all here for a strong female-driven manga 🔥
she’s so cool and mature
also kind of an oblivious hot-headed idiot sometimes 💕
Yankuimi’s double life as a yakuza member and a teacher is very interesting
chapters are mostly episodic and there wasn’t really a central plot
there also several filler chapters, but I didn’t mind it as they were still fun to read
the art is not your typical “pretty” shojou/josei art which I actually came to really appreciate
love triangle not the strongest but the manga is not focused on romance which was refreshing ❤️
If you’ve ever watched the anime/ drama, the manga is 100x better and delves even more into the characters’ relationships
this is a manga about the yakuza, so it is a little violent and there are vulgar jokes but never anything too overboard
i thought it was the right about of funny
Conclusion:
Although it was long, Gokusen was an extremely fun, refreshing, great for laughs read! Some may say otherwise, but I loved the ‘not everyone’s pretty’ early 2000s art style and the minimal part the romance played throughout the series. Another thing to add was that I was very satisfied with the ending! Overall, Gokusen is one of my favourite mangas I would highly recommend giving this series a try :)

Synopsis:
Doomed to be poisoned to death by her own betrothed?! Eunha didn’t wake up in a novel’s story just to get killed off again as an unfortunate extra! To avoid her ill-fated ending, she needs to spend 6 months pretending to be the fake fiancée of the novel's male protagonist, Duke Noah Wynknight. But will this cold-hearted, angel-faced demon of a man really help her avoid her doom?!
Thoughts:
9000/10 <-- yes i know, another 9000/10 but hear me out...
I really love how both the FL and ML are actually smart and badass which was so refreshing
i’m never bored with the plot and i think the pacing of the storyline is just right!
Even though she encounters many biatches, our Raeliana knows how to handles them with sass and class 💖
Pls be gone beabitch ❤️
I really liked how the story also delved a little into the actual Raeliana’s family and how isekaied raeliana interacts with “her family”
There is also a mystery element to the plot as Raeliana tries to figure out how she died in her past life and how it may be connected to how she got into this whole situation in the first place
Also he fact that Noah would literally do anything for Raeliana- I honestly bet he’d even overthrow the whole government for her 👁👄👁
noah always acts like an innocent baby but he’s such a tease
the “low quality” panels are also extremely hilarious
lastly, sir adam is THE best boi no questions asked
Conclusion:
I HIGHLY recommend this manhwa because I adore the two main protagonists and their interactions. Not only are they smart and sassy, but they take initiative when a situation arises. Also, I always love a good mystery and rom-com and this was the perfect mix!

Author; Dalseul || Artist; Bia
Status: Ongoing; 34+ chapters
Synopsis:
Upon opening my eyes after a bus accident, I found myself in the fantasy world of a webnovel I enjoyed reading... the only catch is, I reincarnated 20 years before the novel begins! I was reborn as Princess Yerenica of the small Lebovny kingdom and I'm determined to change the future in order to prevent the series of unfortunate events that will soon occur. In the original story, my older sister, Tejavia, is pregnant with the future female lead, when she's suddenly kidnapped by the Belgoat Empire's emperor. However in my desperate attempts to protect her, I got kidnapped instead! And as if that wasn't bad enough, my body is ridiculously weak to magic. But... strangely enough, whenever I'm by the emperor, I feel fine! The only way to save the emperor, who's destined to die at the hands of his own son after marrying the villainess, and save myself from being afflicted by magic... is for us to marry! "Marry me, Father." "Father? Princess, I haven't married yet, nor do I have any kids..."
My Thoughts:
9000/10
Due to personal reasons, I have dedicated my whole existence to Yerenica Lebovny 💖
the art for the manhwa is too cute- even the “low quality” pics are adorable!
before anyone comments on how weird it is for Yeni to call the emperor “father”, in korean, she’s not referring to him as “her father” but addressing him as the title for what he was in the novel (like how you could call your teacher, “Ms. teacher”)
the story line is very interesting and I love how bold and pure the FL is
Yeni is a precious cinnamon bun and if you’re not a yeni stan what are you doing?
she may come off as bit of an airhead- but she’s just a little aloof yet actually very smart and observant
I love how the emperor, Erudian, never denies that Yeni is cute, and although he acts like a cool cucumber, he loves teasing her
he also is never an asshole like other emperor type MLs and actually respects and genuinely cares for Yeni
just Yeni uwu 💖✨🌈🌸 ✨ 💖
Conclusion:
What more can I say? Amazing plot, beautiful art, the most precious FL to have graced this planet. Read it right now. I’m serious. Go! Shoo shoo! Read ‘Seduce the Villain’s Father’ or p e r i s h.
