I read and reread this story so many times. For me, I really enjoy the slow burn happening between the two characters as they each... more>> work past their hangups towards each other. <<less

Another older-sister type protagonist, but I do like this story’s way of handling the relationship a lot. For one, it’s not a one sided relationship like many other GL novels I’ve read. Also, the protagonist is funnily enough not doing the pursuing herself (perhaps due to her amnesia). Yeah, she has amnesia so this story isn’t about two people meeting each other for the first time, but rather a rediscovery of how their relationship is without things dragging it down.... more>>

I guess what really sold the story to me was how what seemed like another one of those amnesia wife-chasing crematoriums wasn’t actually like that in reality. <<less

Literal masterpiece. The drama progresses naturally and the process of going from exes to lovers again felt real. It didn’t feel like they broke up... more>> for s*upid reasons and had actual issues that they had to work through in order to actually be happy together again. <<less

The protagonist is a hilarious troll and the female lead isn’t bad either. Neither of them are just stereotypes which works to make them feel... more>> real as characters. Plus the slow burn was very painful (the way I like it) but not too stretched out. I liked how the protagonist was genuinely rebelling against an unjust system rather than doing tasks in a way that just bends the rules, so she ends up suffering consequences too… <<less

This novel goes slow in terms of the romantic development, but I think it’s better that way! This is one of the stories where I... more>> feel like the characters are “real” for a lack of a better word. No one character is just the trope they initially seem to be from the main character herself to one of the side characters of this story! <<less

One of the rare president x employee novels that never felt imbalanced. I never felt that the main protagonist had to get with the female... more>> lead just because that was the way the story had to go. It felt equal in terms of each individual’s investment in the relationship rather than one person chasing the other with no regard to their feelings. Mostly it was funny seeing the female lead cry a lot over little things but also sad in its own right… <<less

Despite how this story’s summary makes it out to be, it’s not a whole tropey ordeal. All the female leads fall in love gradually with... more>> the protagonist and most of them are admittedly a little yandere, but she only ends up with one of them. I was honestly disappointed with the fact she only ended up with one of them because I could see how the story shifts from focusing on all the interests to only her… otherwise it was enjoyable for its equally tragic characters and strangely rare friendship/brotherhood (?) that the main character shares with the male protagonist of the novel she transmigrated into. It made everything feel more real. <<less

Although this sounds like it should be like I Favor the Villainess, I definitely liked it a lot more than it! One, the main characters... more>> don’t feel like cardboard cutouts, and you already get the feeling of depth near the beginning. I would admit Elsa does feel like another Rae, but as the story progresses, I feel the struggles that she feels. Furthermore, the reasons that Yvonne do things the way she does make sense to the audience. It is more funny than dramatic, but I ended up loving the story all the same. <<less

I went into this not expecting to like it as much as I did. In general, my rule for novels is reading 60 chapters to... more>> see if I’ll like it. Obviously, I ended up liking this novel even before hitting the 5th chapter mark. I love it for its rich psychological descriptions that really put you in the protagonist’s head. In addition, the novel has a nice blend of tragedy mixed with longing and hope that I appreciate. There are multiple times that I cannot help but tear up. But these moments never keep me down too long as the story moves on just as the protagonist does (not from Su Mo of course just in the situation). <<less

I honestly haven’t finished this story yet as I’m around the 170 chapter mark, but it’s worth a read.... more>>

First of all, it’s written by Jun Sola, who also wrote “Exploring an Empty Tomb”, which I’m planning to read as well.

Otherwise, it’s an exchanging bodies situation with two people who were familiar with each other but drifted apart. Then, they met by chance after their lives had diverged so much. This is that story.

It’s a poignant story about working together to resolve your differences. <<less

This is written by the same author of “She is the Protagonist” so I remember seeing a few characters from it make a cameo. To... more>> be honest, I don’t actually remember what caused me to give this novel such a great review in the reviews section, but I do remember how this story felt complete within its 100ish chapter length and apparently was enough to make me cry (which after years of getting burned by grimdark magical girl shows surprised me). I would definitely recommend trying this story out!! Especially if you like “older-sister type protagonists”!!! Now to reread it! <<less

This was a fun read and has much value in a reread. I really did appreciate how they avoided the possible power dynamics between a student and master as much as they could, and as the translator has mentioned, the novel definitely handles its themes well as I agree that the story is about the generational trauma.... more>>

Basically, if you enjoy a well-written romance between two women taking place in Xianxia with one of the women being a dragon, then you’ll definitely enjoy this story. The only negative I would have would be I was too anxious to see the ending, so I had skimmed near the end. That’s more of a me problem though. <<less

This story is a masterpiece that covers so much in nine chapters

Its depictions of trauma and ab*se just hit me hard. I think if the author did research, they at least did the bare minimum and were even able to naturally integrate these concepts in the story as ways to drive the plot forward rather than as simple decorations.... more>>

I really love the relationship between the two and how caring it feels. I won’t deny that it does feel one-sided at moments, but I trust in the author (somehow) that that will change as a consequence to the changing plot and characters. <<less

Made me cry so much even when rereading certain chapters. The Tragedy tag is very well utilized here.

There’s a Tsundere tag so I assumed it was for the FL but I didn’t expect it was actually for both characters. Would rate it... more>> more of a 4/5, but the story made me cry so many times that my tears brought it up. The amount of emotion I felt reading half of the chapters is what makes reading so worth it. <<less

Love the dynamic that the protagonist and love interest have, but definitely wished the story was more focused on the two of them.

Fun but long oneshot. Nice story about a woman who wins the attention of her fiance’s lover not through underhanded means or simply words but... more>> through the years they spend together trying to annul her engagement.  <<less

Very short but enjoyable story using a post forum.

Rereading this story has changed my rating of the story to be lower, but I think it’s worth a read because of those emotional moments... more>> that stab your heart. <<less

I really enjoyed the way they handled the system and the emotions in the story as there was no crematorium at all, which I tend... more>> to see in stories for some reason. <<less
