i’m just saying that a childhood crush isn’t worth being kidnapped and psychologically tortured for... more>>

Plot: ★★☆☆☆ - it was good at first but kinda lost my interest at the second half 

Writing style: ★★★★☆ - i enjoyed the descriptive and detailed narration

Characters: ★★☆☆☆ - fl kept blushing n sh*t even after being kidnapped and telling herself 10 secs ago that she will move on/doesn’t love him anymore girl stand the f*ck up u like him for years just bc of his face it’s not worth ittt  <<less

tbh the ml isn’t that bad i can even emphatize with him i added this bc it has the plot of “he hates her-she loves him” ... more>>

Plot: ★★☆☆☆

Writing style: ★★★☆☆

Characters: ★★★☆☆ - can’t communicate for shit. she easily revealed the secret bc they were caught when she can do that earlier especially when it involves the death of ml’s parents <<less

Plot: ★★★★★ ... more>>

Writing style:  ★★★★★

Characters:  ★★★★★ - characters are well written i love me some characters that can evoke various emotions yes i wanna slap the sh*t out of them but it doesn’t mean i don’t enjoy reading them <<less

ml: i’m fernan of course i am a ten on the outside but operating at a four emotionally... more>>

Plot: ★★☆☆☆

Writing style: ★★★☆☆

Characters: ★★★☆☆  <<less

who the f*ck taught him how to process emotions? lana del rey? so glad the fl ran away and had a backup plan for her child bc that kidnapping/blackmailing mf doesn’t deserve to know his child... more>>

Plot: ★★★☆☆

Writing style: ★★★★☆ - the heartache i felt while reading this is so good

Characters: ★★★☆☆ <<less

bjorn: i have two hands. one for my partner and one for my emotional baggage... more>>

Plot: ★★★★★

Writing style: ★★★★★

Characters: ★★★★★ - my heart goes to erna who endured so much sh*t from the public and nobles she didn’t deserve that. bjorn ain’t sh*t but the “building snowman” scene?? i bawled my eyes. grief is really different for each people.  <<less

Plot: ★★★★★ - different from the glamorous royalty often shown in novels or manhwa. showed the dark side of royalties. i pity the fl so much however u can’t help but to emphatize with the public tbh i would join the rebellion too if i was there... more>>

Writing style: ★★★★☆

Characters: ★★★★☆ - despite reading the backstory of the ml i still can’t feel any sympathy for him. u don’t need a wife, u need a therapy. but the depth of the ml and fl’s characters? *chefs kiss* <<less

ml’s sanity has been put into an ironclad lockbox like take the trigger warnings indicated in the tags seriously the scenes are so disturbing... more>>

Plot: ★★★☆☆ - missed the chance to write one of the most toecurling spy x captain / enemies-to-lovers trope. instead we got so many smut scenes that are so disturbing that i skipped most of them. without those, the plot could easily be 4 stars, it shows that corruption is everywhere and the road to hell is paved with good intentions

Writing style: ★★★☆☆ 

Characters: ★★★★☆ - the interconnection between the fl and ml is well written. tbh fl is kinda clumsy for a revolutionary spy in the first part and dumb for not thinking abt the child’s safety in the latter part. the inner conflict she had after giving birth to her perpetrator’s child is so real. the 4 stars are mainly for her and the other side characters it doesn’t include the ml bc he’s a real piece shit, i can understand his anger for rebellion groups but his backstory doesn’t offer an explanation for his s*xual harassment to her before knowing she’s a spy. <<less

fl and ml to each other: ♥︎ what if your therapist and my therapist compared notes ♥︎... more>>

Plot: ★★★★☆ 

Writing style: ★★★★★ - god i love solce’s writing style

Characters: ★★★☆☆ - ml being a calculating mf irritated the hell out of me it’s giving fatherless behavior especially when he constantly brings up sandrine as being the most advantageous wife and deserving to bear his child liek?? his childhood trauma contributed alot to how he turned out. for fl, there are some parts that are kinda of lacking (putting up with her father’s ab*se just for her to abandon him in the end & being too caring for her sister just for them not to have further interactions towards the middle and end part). i like how she understood her position and did not have enough expectation for the ml  <<less

everything about this novel is mid tbh... more>>

Plot: ★★☆☆☆ 

Writing style: ★★☆☆☆

Characters: ★★☆☆☆ - characterization? mid. chemistry? mid.  <<less

“do you ever shave your a**hole?”... more>>

fl: no–he’s perfectly capable of shaving himself

Plot: ★★☆☆☆ - it had me on the first part but the plot kinda fell off from the middle to the end. romance between people from diff social status is cliche i love them but i expected that they would be able to twist the plot to become more interesting

Writing style: ★★★☆☆ 

Characters: ★★☆☆☆ - characters are flat but at least the tension is *chef’s kiss* i hated the ml’s character bc who tf flirts like a gradeschool student by bullying the girl you like???  he’s so manipulative and just simply an as*hole just because… no backstory no trauma just outright as*hole bc he’s raised as an only child <<less
