Plum Blossom Shade
I know I said I was tired of the clearly evil 2nd ML vs kind ML trope in love triangles, but this one does a better job at making the 2nd ML more likeable, even if he’s a little vain and selfish lmao. He still cares about the MC and his family members that I feel like in a different manhwa he’d be the ML. Does he disregard the MC’s feelings and is obsessive? Ofc, but a lot of another manga excuse that lmao. Also his dynamic with the ML is actually pretty natural and comedic, so I feel like they’d be able to coexist in another world too. The MC is the “previously naive to the ways of the world but gets a crushing reality check” trope and it was excuted really nicely, partially thanks to the historical era I think.
Solo For Two
The MC was so mistreated by the world and so mentally ill it was so pitiful ️ Like I understood the early 1900s wasn't the most accommodating era to live in but dear god the trauma the MC goes through was actually so overlooked even by the ML. The ML and MC separate because of the war and the MC's crime, and when they reunite it's a Count of Monte Cristo moment where the ML has been completely hardened and jaded and the MC has to put up with the mistreatment to rekindle and rebuild the relationship . It's hard to watch but omg the drama is so interesting.
Kouguu no Omega
The devotion and royal setting is always fun, but for some reason this felt incomplete and it had a lot of potential with the characters. I liked the main servant girl her design was so cute. It was weird how the ML is so young for like half the manga tho like I don’t understand why they decided to do that. The MC was elegant and strong-willed, and his design was so pretty.
