Let's play a game [Crown princess scandal]

I found this on Pinterest and the comments were hilarious. Would love to play it here too ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

Everyone will describe a manhwa badly the others will try to guess the title. It's fine if you describe the same manhwa.

[The Marquis Meitner’s Funeral]

Short summary: Cornelia was sold and married off to an old noble, Marquis Meitner, as soon as she debuted in high society. Fortunately, she was able to avoid ever having to bed him with the help of all the maids in her new household. With the death of her husband, however, Cornelia now faces the risk of losing the estate and inheritance to the royal family… unless she has an heir.

ML candidates:
- blonde commoner medical student who is sponsored by the late Marquis
- gray/silver haired childhood(?) friend who is a rake
- dark skinned arrogant duke who is not considered a barbarian

🌶️🌶️🌶️🥵 spicy smut
✅ good plot
✅ pretty art
✅ girl boss FL
✅ supportive maids who also get to have fun
✅ completed at 12 chapters

Manhwa like Marriage of Convience? Semi-smut

I loved reading MoC, and I didn’t mind the 18+ scenes along with the wholesome stuff. Anything else similar to this in a historical setting? No really angtsy shit. No toxic ml/fl or relationships in general. Pretty narrow range I guess

Manhwas you didn't expect you would like but ended up loving it

I don't play the matchmaker- thought it will be a typical oi where ogfl's harem turn into fl's harem and ogfl turning out to be evil but didn't expect that everyone to have a genuinely good friendship. And how great hestia(ogfl) and shuri(fl)'s friendship to be.

Trapped at Home with the Male leads- thought that fl would be helped by the strong mls, didn't expect fl to be stronger than the ml and be a main part in fights.

How to ride a hero's coat tails- Thought it would be just fl having an academy reverse harem didn't thought that it will actually focus on the fights and world-building and even more interesting stuff

A peaceful maid's life by hiding her power- Thought that it will be more focused on the romance aspect didn't thought it would be deeper than that and focuses on the fl's past instead.

What are yours? I think we should do more of these because we are missing gems because we're let down by other OIs so we assume that the good ones would turn out to be like that too and avoid it....

His reaction seeing his parents love life lmao [The Male Lead is trying to tame me with money]

To think this nasty emperor could actually be flustered and lovey dovey, seems like the empress had him at her fingertips 😂

recs w similar vibes as anything ive listed pls !!

wanting a variety of isekai recommendations bc i feel like i enjoy certain ones but i usually read modern manhwas so idk any good ones

1 - fluffy, heartwarming or lighthearted reads that will make me js feel warm inside , not too much angst , but still have a driven plot if ykwim ( ex. first night with the duke , happily ever afterwards

2 - ones like i shall master this family and solitary lady , js regaining control or climbing the heirarchy

3 - revolves around childcare / child mc ( ex. baby tyrant , little lady behind the scenes , my mother's marriage contract )

4 - a bit more serious , but still has fluff and not considered to angsty , i really enjoyed from a knight to a lady and my dear nemesis

5 - fmc uses her previous knowledge and starts a life for herself , like starting a shop / trading / own job

i enjoy it when the ml is / becomes head over heels with mc and does whatever he can do help support or be around mc , but mc is oblivious / doesnt care abt romance that much ( ofc in the end she also falls in love )

Why is there only conventional smartness?

Every single OI I've read has only a few conventional types of smartnesses, there's limited representation. Every fl is just a manipulative girl boss, who can outsmart everyone and has the most 'genius' business ideas. If other characters are rather intellectual in other ways like them being creative, wise, or mastering very niche skill sets, they aren't exactly credited enough for it. There's no linear definition of being smart, intelligent or otherwise, but it's like these OIs see it limited to only a few aspects and everything that doesn't fit into their definition is excluded.

I would like to see more fls or characters in general that exhibit various types of intellegence just like the real world. Like maybe fls who avoid the problem before it gets too big, ones who actually solve it realistically, ones who recruit others to solve it while being competent too to solve other problems. And fls with emotional intellegence and maturity of different types are rare too.

I WOULD REALLY LIKE MORE CHILDCARE MANHWAS!!

so i’ve read so many childcare rofans. but i need more it’s one of my favorite genres. so if you have anything sorta niche/new i would love it if you could tell me the name. i’ll name the ones i love the most. but i’ve really read so many.

so what i need in a story
-female protagonist
-young when the manhwa starts
-childcare / comedy
-not tragic / a bit lighthearted

i really prefer if the mc is an actual child or has the mindset. and i think it’s interesting when they have trauma. or if they are a bit aggressive and unhinged.

(i’ve already read “I Became the Male Lead's Adoptive Daughter”)

these are my favorites!!
-I Don't Want To Play Matchmaker!
-A Secretly Capable Child Is Seeking For Her Dad
-My Numbered Days of Happiness
-I'm Going to Become the Dark Duke's Family
-I Became the Youngest Sister-in-law of the Ruined Reverse Harem's Male Leads
-The Chick-Class Hunter Is Being Filial!
-The Mischievous Baby Is Throwing A Tantrum
-This Wild Mouse Has Taken Cinderella
**-**How to Be a Dark Hero's Daughter

anyways i’ve read lots so please recommend some more if you can!!!

Popular Royal romance isekai manhwas with angst recs

I’m tryna find the popular and I mean POPULAR royal romance manhwas with:

  1. Isekai
  2. Angst

What was some 10/10 manhwas you guys have read and would suggest that has these criteria’s?? I’m currently reading ditoeftv and I’m like at around chapter 139 but it’s starting to get kind of repetitive so I think I want to find something new.

I really really enjoyed it tho, the angst and plot was amazing it’s just kind of getting dragged out imo.

[Forget my husband, I'll go make money] There goes my hope for seeing him as a neutral/positive character, bruh

Oh geez, I was hoping he wouldn't convert into a negative character, but alas

Looking for some finished manhwas

I am kinda new to the manhwa/manga reading community so I was searching recommendations on other posts but I couldn't find much like what I'm looking for. I've read some generic ones like ORV, Greatest Estate Developer, Kill The Villainess, Surviving Romance(I loved it) etc. (Also I'm not that kind of talent as a "comedy")

It really doesn't matter what kind of genre it is I'd just like the story to be immersive and does not act like readers cannot comprehend.

I dont mind reading any genre to be honest but here are my preferences;

•I like magic and science more than martial arts

•I love it when people mess with the laws of the universe(Like time loops)

•I like fmc's more than mmc's

•I like it when mc can't always power through their way

•I don't mind any kind of romance(Slow Burn, enemies to lovers, straight, bl, fl you name it)

•I don't like dumb mc's(they can be oblivious)

•Smut is a big no

Also thank you for reading this because it became way too long.

Manhwa recommendations

I want some otome manhwa like "under the oak tree" and "how to get on my husband's side"

I just love the trope of fl is abused/has ptsd and the ml is just trying to comfort her

Just posted my new isekai novel on Tapas! First chapter extract on the last slide

This is my isekai novel 'Side Character's Curse' which I had written for a competition on Wattpad in 2024, and I thought I would post a more polished version on Tapas! If you do check it out, please let me know what you think 😊

Since I have written one version out in full already, updates will be quite frequent.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask 💙
