[My Possession Became a Ghost Story] Vibes of the story

When I made my last post, I had some people asking how the story was like, I decided to post this.

The first 16 pictures are from chapter 1. The first two pictures are from her pov and the last 14 is from the pov of the people around her. Notice the thing with the eyes and how it implies that the possession changed her eye colour.

The last picture is from chapter 2 and shows the objective reality as the MC is nowhere near them and they can BOTH see the eyes.

I don't believe I can find something better! [Lady Evony]

If I had a dream series about a strong female lead who gets famous with her own competency and also maintaining pleasant personality being kind while not compromising on her own goals without being a Mary Sue, I think Evony is HER.

She is such a great presence in a nation that sees women as nothing more than garden vases, the nobles who don't want to acknowledge her but when they meet her and face the challenge can't help but are forced to acknowledge her at the end of the day. The way she fights against patriarchy is not all legal as technically it's not against the laws for women to do what they strive for. But mentally by taking forefront overturning the societal expectation and demonstrating that others can do what she does if they put their mind to it. She actively creates opportunities for younger generations to move forward.

Honestly this could be my ignorance talking but it was refreshing to read about a FL who plays the role of a king maker. >!And she does not decide to help Dante (ML) become the king because she loves him, but because she realizes he will be what is best for the future of the country.!<

Speaking of the male lead, he is Progressive, in short. He stayed abroad (exile) and reluctantly came back to the country out of duty. But he saw hope for its future seeing how Evony was working towards women rights. He is also supportive of her cause and in fact the one to push to pursue what she wants to do. Although at the earlier stage, he was wee bit overprotective of her, but that's because in some ways he saw her as the victim who went through prison abuse ignoring her growth since then. But with some intervention and the FL proving her competency he started to completely trust her and respected her free reign in what to do.

Honestly the relationship between the two couldn't be as meaningful as it is without the support of the side cast. The ML's subordinates and FL's friends are some of the best groups of side characters I've ever read in a RoFan. Anything more would be spoilers and too much detail so I hope you can read and find out.

I caught up to the latest chapter and if I have a minor gripe till now it's that >!despite numerous mentions, we still haven't got to meet the warrior queen of Babel who demanded Evony's freedom from prison for letting go of their nation after defeating them!<

[An extra stole the male leads] Does it get better?

I’m just starting because I kinda like the art style but, man, the start is rough. The author bent over backwards to justify why FL feels offended when all the OG MLs dumped her when she doesn’t even love any of them. Like, for the fiancé, I can understand cuz he’s so rude about it. But the other two are kinda nice tho? Although the dragon asking for a gift back is an asshole move but it’s literally his heart?? If it’s some kind of magic item I would understand but his heart??? Why can’t they all be friends anymore???

And making the villainess a two faced white lotus. It’s so obvious that they’re brainwashed. Why should I hate the OG MLs then. I’m kinda tired having to hate a girl cuz the author tells me to. I’m supporting women’s wrongs, idc anymore.

So does the writing get better? Or is it just brainwashed MLs Bad, White Lotus woman bad.

UNDERRATED GEMS Y'ALL NEED TO KNOW.

Warning: Long ahh yapping session, but the list of the title is listed in order down here:

  1. WHEN JASY WHISTLES (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: In ancient times, people believed that the forests of Paraguay were filled with gods and monsters. Growing up outside of modern Asuncion, Hela never thought much of the old stories. When her best friend disappears, apparently kidnapped by the legendary Jasy Jatere, however, she learns that the old world is not as dead as she had thought.

***

This one I thoroughly enjoyed. Not just because Jasy is a whole damn snack, but because the art and the plot is so freaking intriguing. You're probably going to hate yourself for not reading this sooner lol. The only negative thing about this is that IT'S CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. DAWG IT'S SUCH A ONE OF A KIND PLOT. THE FREAKING SETTING TOO IS CRAZY BCS I GENUINELY NEVER READ ANYTHING LIKE THIS IN THAT TYPE OF SETTING. LIKE JUST... WOAH.

  1. JUNE PEACH/THE PEACH OF JUNE (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: After two rebirths and two miserable, failed marriages, Leah Riveron vowed to never wed again. Despite this, she can’t get one man, the handsome duke Julian Raenal, off her mind. Though he ignored her in the past, this time, Leah throws caution to the wind and tells him every detail of her past lives. He won’t be interested anyway, right? But rather than repelling him, her refreshing honesty ends up charming him! Now, with Julian hooked, will Leah’s plan of a marriage-free life go as planned?

***

If you guys get to the part where you learn the whole truth, you would bawl your eyes to death. This reminds me so much of “For my Dearest Juliet” it's soooo good, if you like sad manhwas with a trap of sweet romance laid on you at first, this is for you lmao

  1. FLOWERS IN THE SECRET PLACE (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: A girl sneaks into the world of ghosts in search of her best friend. Willing to sacrifice everything to find him, she meets a strange boy with an interesting offer! A bittersweet and intriguing story about friendship and love adorned by flowers.

***

Not OI, it's a manhua (my first manhua ever) but I so freaking cried and laughed at the same time here. I loved the twists and turn, and IT'S JUST SO GOOD. THE NOSTALGIA IT'S GIVING ME IS CRAZYYY. Had me in a chokehold when I read that one chapter where I learnt the whole truth of their past. Like what the heck, please, someone needs to read this 😭✌

  1. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN/THE GREAT QUEEN/MY PHOENIX ON TOP (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: Distracted by a dating game, Xi Yuan meets her untimely demise in a horrific traffic accident.

When she awakens, she finds herself in a foreign land with a handsome prince greeting her intimately. Xi Yuan sets forth to form her own harem of beautiful boys, with the help of her newfound powers.

***

DO NOT BE FOOLED. I genuinely thought this was a reverse harem, but it wasn't lmao. The story made me freaking cry at the latter part (especially after I learned the >!white tiger's life!< anyway, uhhh it's a good read. It's so underrated, but I loved every part of the story. I genuinely rooted for zero (I think that was his name) because I DID NOT want any of the princes to end up with her, the system dude had way more tension/chemistry but aight. I already forgot the ending, but I remember it being super peak. This was such a huge nostalgia for me, this was one of my few earliest manhua to ever discover.

  1. NIGHT OF SHADOWS (ONGOING)

DESCRIPTION: Dreams come and go, but this nightmare is here to stay. Areum keeps a note to keep track of her dreams and premonitions, which, to her horror, oftentimes become true. One day, she discovers a set of pages she doesn’t remember writing, and that’s when all hell breaks out in her school. Can she piece the broken parts of her dream together and survive the terror that lurks in the dark?

***

Genuinely my favorite horror/mystery/supernatural story ever. I wish there was a kdrama adaptation for this because I really really enjoyed this one! Also, I'm definitely not reading this for the stupidly handsome uncle—AHEM, DEFINITELY NOT. Also, the yuribait is damn delicious. TOO MANY HOT CHARACTERS IN ONE HORROR MANHWA, PLEASE DON'T DIE.

  1. VILLAIN WITH A CRUSH/PURE VILLAIN (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: After confessing to her first crush of three years, Rosa Park falls for her second when the nation’s favorite Superpowered Police Officer, Doryeong Han, swoops in to save her as she’s plummeting from a toppling building. A few years later, a mysterious villain called Blackdog appears, but Doryeong notices something is not quite right. Will the world’s worst villain ever win the heart of the strongest hero in the country?

***

I laughed to death at this one, this was such a roller coaster ride. I wish more people knew about this. This is legit one of my favorites/comfort manhwas.

  1. THE DAWN THAT TWISTS YOUR NECK/DAWN OF VENGEANCE (ONGOING)

DESCRIPTION: [I believed it was love. Until he pierced my heart.] Princess Arsinoe of a kingdom, disrespected by everyone because she inherited the blood of an enslaved mother. She believed her life would change through marriage to Crown Prince Alejandro of the empire. She thought she would begin a happy life as a beloved wife and respected empress—until her husband pierced her heart with a smile on his face. Regression that repeats with each death. After struggling to avoid the tragic ending, she realizes she can no longer try to escape it. Now, in her fourth life, Arsinoe resolves to become queen and take revenge on the crown prince. Walter Heiberg, the sharpest sword capable of annihilating everything. With him, she can cut through even fate itself.

***

It's very political, And I love the slow burn. I love the female lead's personality. She isn't reserved, shy, or is she emotionally cold. She's like super realistic and funny (in a not over dramatic way) I think she's the kind of silly empress I would want in every manhwa. She's super duper smart, and she's just a very unique female lead.

  1. THE FLOWER THAT WAS BLOOMED BY A CLOUD (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: Hong Lyon, a pitiful young princess only in title, who has no power nor authority, meets a young nobleman named Dowun who offers to help her take what's rightfully hers… but at what cost?

***

This one won an award for a reason (2019 Tory Comics Award) IT'S GENUINELY THE BEST THING I'VE EVER READ. I wish she would end up with her body guard but other than the romance, it was genuinely ABSOLUTE CINEMA. Also, don't forget to bring your tissues. The ending is absolute heart wrenching. Like All three characters deserved so much more. UGH. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

  1. THE HOPELESS DESIRE OF A WITCH (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: A kind-hearted nobleman offers to take Kaidel under his wing and give him a life of luxury, but there's a catch - Kaidel must track down the witch responsible for burning down his village and find the "ember." Kaidel, who was raised by alchemists and trained in combat, sets out on a mission to find the white-haired sorceress. When he meets a woman with similar locks, he wonders if she's Eleanor, the witch he's been searching for. Despite negative rumors about her, Kaidel finds Eleanor to be incredibly sweet. As his feelings for her grow and his thirst for revenge intensifies, Kaidel must make a difficult decision about which path to take.

***

I told y'all, I adore witch stories. The type of stories that you know would have a tragic ending but would still keep reading because it's THAT GOOD. ABSOLUTE CINEMA. PHENOMENAL WRITING. PEAK.

  1. THIS WITCH OF MINE (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: In these times, if you're too good or bad at something or simply too beautiful, you're called a witch. Up against twists of fate and time, an outcast young boy and a mysterious witch will need more than just magic spells and incantations; they'll need each other.

***

Guys, I died again and again reading this for like idk how many times. I'm not sure if this is considered “underrated” but I just want to always insert this peak in every post HAHHAHA. You will never be able to shut me up if you talk to me about this manhwa. If you play either the songs “the man who can't be moved” or “Lifetime (reimagined)” to me, I would scream “THIS WITCH OF MINE?!!” BCS THEY OWN IT SO MUCH. THE MAIN COUPLE KILLED ME AND THE SIDE COUPLE DOUBLE KILLED ME. CAN I FREAKING GET A REST. WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE SO BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN BUT AT THE SAME TIME SO FREAKING SAD?! Also, please do not talk to me about THAT one chapter where he's surrounded by the crowd, everyone praising him as a hero after he >!killed her. Because damn EVERYONE. THEY DID NOT DESERVE THIS. TRAGIC AF.!< definition of green flags who would wait for each other no matter how long it takes.

  1. FOAM OF THE WAVES/FOAM OF THE SEA (COMPLETED)

DESCRIPTION: "Never forgive me."

Margret, who was brutally murdered by her lover, is reborn 7 years later as 'Meg'. Will 'Meg', who doesn't know anything about the world, be able to acclimate well into her new life...? A story uncovering the truth behind her death and the growing love between the characters!

***

If you haven't read this yet, you should rethink your life decisions (joke) anyway, I wish more people knew about this. The art? SO PRETTY. The story? SO GOOD. I love how it killed me again and again, brought me back to life and freaking killed me again. It's just THAT GOOD. Also, the first chapters had me crying. Wdym they're >!not the endgame?!!< I mean, I love the male lead, aight?! BUT THE TRAGIC LOVE STORY JUST DOES SOMETHING TO ME. If mystical had me crying until I died, this one sent me to afterlife immediately.

Genuinely curious, which manhwa was it for you and why ?

Just like the title says. Which OI or manhwa in general was it for you and why ??

I am curious !!!

Rare Manhwa Core: The author decides that the FL should be with ML, despite the age difference, rather than with her best friend, who is same age

Jezz, I can’t be the only one who finds the obvious difference in age and height a bit off-putting, especially when she was a little girl and he was a teenager or when the artists can’t seem to draw teenagers without making them look like adults.

Added to that, the second ML usually spends more time with FL in the novel and manhwa. Logical, as they’re the same age and he always has a friendly, outgoing personality. Consequently, he also becomes a more beloved character among readers.

This makes it unnecessary for the second ML to end up falling in love with her, which won’t lead to anything.

The question is: Does it really affect the story if the female lead and the male lead are the same age? Because it usually doesn’t change the plot at all, other than the fact that HE has more responsibilities to fulfill.

If I were to give them a point, it’s that they’re all with the female lead when she’s older. Although they started to develop feelings for her when they were teenagers and she was a child, idk

For those who still haven't seen this reverse isekai. "We promised to meet in next life and that's when things got weird"

Wholesome and funny (if regrettably short) reverse isekai (reincarnation type).

A princess and her knight fell in love and promised to meet in next life, now in modern Japan they were born again... Except the knight, who used to be ten years older is now over twenty years younger than his princess... And he couldn't care less about it.

The Elephant in the Room

I feel like, as someone who likes reading historical-like manhwas, OI and modern ones. I feel like we HAVE and NEED to adress the elephant in the room. What IS the elephant? Well is simply the fact that majority of the new manhwas are either smut or poorly written, with empty, horrible characters, boring and worthless plot or just straight up p@rn.

Now, dont get me wrong, if you like reading smut, i have nothing agaisnt it, i have read some manhwas(2 or 3) with it, not my thing but if it has a GOOD plot, then i guess it works.

But i think it reached a point where i question myself, WHAT HAPPENED? What happened with well written characters? what happened with an actual interesting and unique plot? What happened with well written relantionships? What happened with deep, complex conections? Either platonic or romantic? What happened with deep and unique characters? WHAT HAPPENED WITH STORIES IN GENERAL???

Some of the images i used for this post are manhwas that set my standard too high, that now everything i read feels boring or shallow. Those are the PEAKS.

Feel free to disagree with me, i always like to read other people's opinion, so tell me what you guys think.

Naming and personalizing characters is another level [I Will Protect My Tyrant Dad!]

Patt and Matt?! :)))) It's funny and wonderful for these two 😂

The maids are also hilarious. At first, she thought that because of her glare, they backed off. Also, when they wanted to teach bullies a lesson, she said her dad would be sad, and the maid's reaction is funny too.

I Will Protect My Tyrant Dad!

Edit 1: She thinks her dad is an innocent angel, which he is not, and everybody besides her knows.

Edit 2: Pat & Mat is a Czech animated (stop-motion) series that follows two extremely clumsy handymen and their unique and ingenious way of handling problems.

Ps: Karina’s last day:

I've been getting into these otome stuff lately so need some rec(could be anything)

I've been having fun reading these stuff as someone who reads actions manhwas all the time. So far I've only read this three.

Does she still exist?

i think 4 years ago she was always the butt of the jokes on every page about historical manhwas because she was legit in every single story lmaoo. I was wondering if an artist caught wind of the joke and made a manhwa about her, or if they just stopped using her in recent manhwas

Dukes of the North being funnily competent/incompetent

Which do you prefer? The ml being so competent that he has time to just fuck around all chapter or him being incompetent and having a long suffering attendant who handles anything that isn’t a war/the female handles the funds because he can’t be trusted with spending money on anything that isn’t military related?
