The Abandoned Queen: Luckily, My Divorce was Finalized. Once I Left, I Found the Crown Prince of Dragonia Waiting for Me - By Akira Satomi (8/10)
There's no fool quite like a magical fool. If you catch a girl young, you can do anything. Yes, even convince a magical inventor that she is nothing without the love of a prince. How easy! Now her powers belong to your nation and you can have all the concubines you please. Pay no mind to her weird butler. He's definitely not a dragon in disguise.
Rosalia is sort of a shut in genius. She was promised to Prince Wilbert before she was even close to adulthood. Her little hands invented tools that can channel magic. Reliable, powerful ones. A boon for the nation. A useful princess in the making. The kids got along alright, but it was never about love.
Six years later the prince is desperate for love and it was never really her. They were barely friends in the beginning.
She must live as a commoner now.
Alone and ashamed.
An unwanted wife with no children or influence.
As per her contract the king can still demand new designs from her...
Oops. She's gone. Her butler has been planning her kidnapping for the past nine years. It is a sweet dissappearing act. He says he will never abandon her. He'd rather die, and her pitiful self worth has no place in their new shared future.
It's a litte much for her and she begins to wonder how good of a liar he is. She knew he was exceptional. The kind of man who would serve a future queen, but his dragon side was kept secret. As well as most of his powers. Which he did on purpose to ensure she would trust and rely on him....during her loveless marriage where he was her only ally....
Actually this might be maxed out toxic.
He tells the kingdom his special lady has arrived.
He is clearly a prince.
Another thing he did not share with her.
It's all according to plan....
Things pivot to cute really quickly but Ares is an intense and strange yandere. More interested in being NEAR Rosalia, like he really can't breathe without her.
He's got plans on plans to the point where it feels less loving and more like his mate is a beloved puppet.
Yay!
She is happy of course, because he treats her sweetly.
All of her and his suffering was just a test to prove how solid their destiny is.
No kings or plots or former engagements matter.
Let him burn it all away and plan the rest of your days too.
I Helped the Imprisoned Male Lead and He Became an Obsessive Man - By Enika (8/10)
Getting dragged along for the ride isn't very glamorous. Our protagonist might be pretty and smart, but otherwise she is normal. With no magical buff can she really survive a love story with a monster? Someone stronger than an army. It won't be easy.
The beginning isn't glamorous for either of them. Anis is an orphan slave with no magical potential. Emilian is yet another slave, but he has magical potential. So his fate is worse than death.
Anis is forced to wipe floors, do laundry, and serve food while children die in droves around her. Seizures. Shock. Disease. The experimental prison is a psychological hell for the young servants, and a physical one for the subjects.
Anis rebels however she can. She is kind to the experiments she gets assigned to. She wipes blood off of Emilian. She even befriends him, but she knows he will win. He just has to suffer first. She's a mere extra in some grand story. Emilian will become a Transcendant. A magician strong enough to represent the military might of an entire nation. She, on the other hand, is a maid child slave without a future.
Eventually, she decides to escape without him.
He catches her, of course, and he refuses to accept the fact that his only friend was about to run away.
Then, he kills all of the adults who dared to torture children for their own gain.
Emilian recives a generous offer from a certain Emperor. He's a reasonable man who is aghast at the rise in human war weapons. He promises Emilian that he will be it. His nation doesn't plan to create any of its own Transcendants, but they really could use one. A Transcendant who wishes to destroy the whole system and see it die.
Transcendants are simply too powerful. Emilian isn't even a teenager, but he's strong enough to wipe out a hundred thousand men. It's not natural, but that kind of war is here for now. Emilian and the sober Emperor agree to work together.
If, and only if, Anis is allowed to live safely in the palace with him.
What an upgrade!
From slave to ward of the Imperial Family, alongside the great Transcendant.
Anis decides to pursue pharmacology. She cheats a bit, with the knowledge she has of the book. With it she creates some medication that can help Emilian, and some regular sick people too. Through that she secures a medical patent, and she's set for life. She's a pretty good pharmacist, but everything starts to catch up to her.
It starts....to feel hollow.
Her medicine cannot permanently cure his violent outbursts. This isn't her love story. Emilian can only be permanently stabilized by the Saintess. Serena. A beautiful blond woman from a good family, who is revered like a goddess for her divine power.
Anis starts to feel small.
I can appreciate how Anis is a woman of action. We can SEE how she is wrong about herself. Sure she remembers a couple scenes from the book, but she isn't lazy or regular. Anis is the person Emilian loves most. Even if Emilian didn't love her romantically, and his obsession was more pure....she still has the Emperor's unwavering support. She didn't have to pursue medicine.
She didn't have to save the crown prince after he got spiked with date rape drugs.
In fact, she didn't have to try at all.
A lesser woman would have bummed around the palace, waiting for gifts from her loyal Transcendant.
Emilian is nothing if not loyal. He hesitates only because he wants Anis to be happy. He's rather well adjusted when it comes to obsessed men, but he is ruthlessly strict with himself when it comes to women.
He refuses to let Saint Serena heal him, even if it kills him.
I don't blame Anis for feeling like a nobody. Noble life genuinely doesn't suit her. Emilian is too powerful to abstain from destiny and live in the woods with her or whatever. More and more countries are creating Transcendants. The world really is arching towards humanoid nuclear war. Of course Anis thinks her petty feelings mean nothing, and Emilian should take the chance to ally with such a convenient Saint.
Serena isn't even purely evil. Sure, she's jealous and self-serving, but that's just realistic. Marrying a man that can beat up 100,000 others isn't some romantic walk in the park. It's politics.
Obsessive Childhood Friend's Dark, Smothering Love - By Daimaru Sansei (6. 5/10)
"Please become a bad girl, who can't live without me."
A passionate first relationship. A smooth ride. It's every virgins secret wish. I really hope my first guy isn't the worst guy. This is a fairytale that thinks it's being edgy. I don't think our protagonist is in any danger at all.
Chihiro Kosaka could use some more character.
We love couples that are friends first. They often feel more natural, but there's no real plot.
I'm not saying there needs to be a plot, but not enough effort is being injected into these characters. Or the setting. Or even the art. Which is a bit plain. Chihiro Kosaka's proportions feel a bit off.
We love a happy love story though.
Very easy.
No stress.
Oh, ok.
He really likes to see her cry.
He really, really likes it.
She doesn't notice a thing, which makes sense. He's her friend. Now boyfriend. She has no reason to see any red flags.
Even her family suspected that Shiki Motomiya would be her first boyfriend. It's so obvious that they only have eyes for each other, and Shiki has never once caused trouble.
It's smooth sailing.
Nobody sees the red.
He's a bit too smug about her coming to him. The plot starts to shift into yandere territory in a somewhat natural way, with our hapless protagonist blinded by pure love.
This would be much, much better if the characters were meatier.
Making a monster. If it's beautiful that's a bonus. Our protagonist looks exactly like a tragic heiress who died young, alone, and ill. Her only friend was her prisoner, who also happened to be a merman. He's still alive, and he doesn't seem to believe that his owner is dead. What's wrong with him?
Servaine is two people. One is a dead mad woman. The other is our modern protagonist. She doesn't think mermaids are real. Oh and obsession is wrong. Even if it runs in her blood, and many of her ancestors were known for being toxic lovers...that isn't her.
It never will be.
Her face is such a curse. It's the exact same. Her name is too. Both girls are named Servaine. One claims to be sane. One was always sick and aware of her mad love for her merman.
They start to blur together.
In the past Mel, the mermaid, tried to rebel. He did not eat, or speak. The first Servaine threatened him. She was terrible to him. She kept him in a tank at first.
He only spoke when she got curious about his scales. His beauty made her want to experiment.
He begged for mercy.
She wanted to remove some of them.
It seems like their relationship was set in stone. Her madness grew with each passing day.
In fact, it made her weak health even worse.
She stopped taking care of herself. All of her time belonged to him.
So how did their relationship get better? Well, her father tried to save her from her grand obsession. He stole Mel at midnight, and he almost succeeded. Mel was about to be executed in cold blood, when she appeared to save him.
From then on he had to rely on her.
He had to trust her.
Be with her.
Be kind with her.
Play along with her.
Their bond of sorts deepend when a mad maid tried to get her hands on Mel. Servaine went cold. Cold as death. Her death was announced too quickly. She was left barely alive. Servaine struggled towards the lake to save him once more. It's a valiant effort.
Heroic.
It's impossible to not be moved.
Even if she is the source of all his pain.
The change....messes him up. He knows he's been stolen. He's so far from the sea. Being in the lake isn't good for his health either, so he grows weak along with his owner.
100 years later he's all grown up.
Servaine has returned, after cruelly abandoning him!
Modern Servaine insists that is not the case.
Servaine is dead.
Why does Mel have legs?
Why was he waiting inside the abandoned mansion?
Is he happy to see his owner again, or is it all just an act.
He learned that every human wants to destroy him, except her.
