Doku wo Kurawaba Sara Made - By Tobari Sawa (8/10)
Tumblr media
Our protagonist is a father who will do whatever it takes to save his daughter, and himself, from complete ruin. He's trapped inside an Otome Game, so fate will never favor him. As the father of the Villainess he has nothing, so he throws away his pride and he uses seduction. It works too well.
The Kingdom of Parsemis is magically blessed. There is a barbaric tradition.
A holy maiden MUST be sacrificed to the nations patron Dragon every ten years.
It's a political thing.
Tumblr media
Andrim realizes he is s fool when he watches his only daughter lose. He treated her like a pawn. A convenient daughter from a dead woman.
He realizes she never had a chance.
He never had a chance.
He's not even the main villain.
He, and his daughter, are both prolouge villains.
The ultimate insult.
Tumblr media
The Villainess will be executed!!! Is such a trite ending. Here it's more horrible.
In this scenario Natasha, the protagonist, was destined to be eaten by the dragon.
Julietta, the Villainess, was supposed to wed the prince.
The Prince uses his authority to remove Julietta from power and get rid of her in one fell swoop.
Why is this possible?
Natasha is the destined holy maiden, but Julietta is from a special sage bloodline...so conveniently she can be sacrificed as well.
A loving father would have kept Julietta far away from the Prince.
Natasha, of course, realized she could seduce the Prince and save herself.
Andrim was a total fool.
If he had just protected his daughter a little bit both of them would have survived.
Tumblr media
Andrim remains calm. He thinks about what he can do. His daughter is doomed and the Prince clearly wants him gone too.
He tries to use his memories of the game to escape his fate, with his daughter.
Tumblr media
He accepts the new engagement, and his daughters new position as sacrifice....gladly.
Yes, he is a dutiful Prime Minister.
He understands that a special girl must be sacrificed for prosperity. He carries her away and he says he will prepare her for that fateful day.
In the original plot he raved like a madman and demanded Natasha's death instead. Even though the Prince had declared otherwise.
He backs away, because he cannot win without power.
Tumblr media
He joins hands with a corrupt priest and the ACTUAL DRAGON!
He promises to entertain Karis, the Dragon, because only he knows the special lore.
The Dragon is bored.
Andrim is able to tempt the Dragon with a new kind of entertainment. It's bored of eating women.
Andrim must commit evil to live.
He goes waaaayyyy too far.
Tumblr media
The Dragon is not the love interest.
It's Jorga the Commander. The adult figure supporting the youthful otome group.
Andrim uses him completely. Not sure how yet but Jorga commits absolute atrocities for Andrim. He betrays the royal family for Andrim, and the palace is filled with torture.
Jorga is the most useful card on the field, and Andrim uses his beauty to "get" him.
Is it genuine love? No, but Jorga is all about loving acts of service.
Tumblr media
The plan rolls into an avalanche slowly.
Andrim gives up his position as Prime Minister. This earns him plenty of sympathy points. He also appoints a young genius on purpose. The boy is not fit to run the government. He uses politics to force the boy into a position he can't handle.
This makes him even more pitiful.
The capable Prime Minister had to abdicate for his daughter, and his replacement is trash...
How awful...
His poor daughter. In the end its not her fault that the Prince's eyes wandered...
Tumblr media
Natasha is a cruel moron and that helps. Her otome team constantly has to cover her ass.
She's going to be a terrible Queen.
Julietta would have been perfect.
Andrim plans to take advantage of that.
Tumblr media
Julietta is sweet but empty.
Andrim vows to make her happier.....after his dirty deeds bear fruit.
Julietta stays in the palace...with Andrim. He uses an old tradition to stay, where he can garner the most sympathy.
Apparently, the story turns into extremely sadistic revenge porn. If you like obsessive dogs with no morals this is your lucky day!
Andrim is not a merciful man. Even with his Japanese memories his ruthless side always prevails.

Koisuru Psycho no Shirayuki-kun - Enatsu Haruka (8/10)
Tumblr media
Oh no it's one of my weaknesses! A brawny, brute-force yandere in a real horror setting! No need to hold back here! Everyone sucks, so we can just enjoy the bloody show! I do feel bad for the protagonist though. He's just a victim surrounded by psychos.
Haruki is a classic bullied kid.
A nice guy who knows he can't fight back.
Tumblr media
His bullies are serious. No emotional manipulation. No beating around the bush. Just pain. The story begins with a "waterboarding game".
Yup.
These kids are testing army torture methods out on their victim.
Tumblr media
They do it wrong so they just punch him instead. The worst part is all three bullies are clearly enjoying the process. They aren't doing this because of some misunderstanding.
Being sadistic makes them feel good.
Tumblr media
A mysterious boy appears!
He says their torture methods are "wrong".
They aren't inflicting the maximum amount of pain.
Tumblr media
He's a small guy, but he asserts his dominance immediately.
He accidentally saves Haruki as well.
Tumblr media
The difference in "skill" and the lack of emotion the sadistic boy shows is a HUGE red flag.
Tumblr media
Haruki is a victim with a savior complex. He knows the bullies are dangerous and he doesn’t want his innocent classmates to suffer.
He hates his life, but he's able to endure it because of this virtuous delusion.
Shirayuki the Psycho thinks that's cute.
Tumblr media
He officially introduces himself, and his intentions are clear.
He's not interested in waterboarding like the bullies, but he does want to play with Haruki.
Shirayuki is some form of sociopath, but the story has only just begun. We don't know if his crush is real or not, but Shirayuki smiles brightly when he stands up for Haruki.
He wants to date Haruki.
Tumblr media
Haruki is immediately proven correct.
When Shirayuki stands up for him a second time the head bully pulls a knife.
Shirayuki doesn't even flinch.
Tumblr media
The sudden strength reveal is crazy, and it also implies that Shirayuki is going to get rid of the bullies through physically torturous means.
Shirayuki is strong enough to:
- Carry his crush.
- Jump out of a second story building unharmed.
- Fend off a larger foe with a knife.
In other words he's a OP yandere and the bullies are just kids who aren't prepared to face a real challenger.
This will not be a sweet romance.
Haruki accidentally tells Shirayuki he can't date ANYONE as long as he's being bullied. He could NEVER let his lover suffer and be bullied with him.
The solution is obvious for a psycho like Shirayuki.
The bullies vanish one by one.

Ore to Mou Ichido, Hatsukoi - By Hasegaki Narumi (8/10)
Tumblr media
A classic yandere story....interrupted! When our protagonist awakens with memory loss her handsome fiance swears he'll take care of her. Her heart thumps, and the hospital doors burst open! Three more men appear, claiming to be her fiance? Is one of them lying? Are all of them lying? Why are they all so devoted??? She has to figure it out!
Mia decided on her marriage partner.
Then, this happened.
Tumblr media
She woke up with no memories! The haughty, wealthy, beautiful lady Mia is no more. Her amnesiac self is an airhead! She can't even remember what her parents look like.
Tumblr media
Issei promises to protect her, but he's a liar. Lady Mia doesn't know him. According to her butler he's a stranger that snuck into her hospital room, and he's also a criminal!
How suspicious!
Tumblr media
Mia was apparently a player...
Four men are claiming to be hers, and none of them are leaving despite the drama.
Are these men in it for the money....or...
Tumblr media
Mystery guy Issei seems to be the top pick, because he's definitely not after her money. The butler assumed he was, but then he appears loaded with cash.
Why is a complete stranger going around pretending to be rich lady Mia's man, when his finances are already set?
Tumblr media
Her father appears!!!!
Not!!!
It's another scammer, and he couldn't care less about her. The rumors about Lady Mia have spread! She's an idiot airhead now, and this man is one of many scammers.
Tumblr media
Mia isn't a total fool.
Her absurdly wealthy parents haven't even called her.
Even though she was literally hospitalized about being hit by a dang truck.
Lady Mia is not loved by her family.
Tumblr media
Issei says he'll make her choose him. Again, we don't know why he's into her. The other three men all claim to be Mia's lovers, but not him.
Tumblr media
They all gather together in one apartment, because Mia is in desperate need of protection.
It's highly likely that Mia promised to marry a man her parents do not approve of.
The men who love her are her only support system.
She happily agrees to live with them after they save her from the scam artist.
Tumblr media
He's been targeting her???
The story was ALMOST him pretending to be her fiance even though he himself has admitted he's not "the one"???
He's not the one she originally chose, and yet he's so desperate to be chosen. He followed her and hunted down the scammer too.
How dangerous is this guy???

Being into gothic horror is wild, because you’ll look up the reviews/public opinion on a book and all the posts will be like “ugh, this was insufferable. The main character was the most melodramatic whiny narcissist cunt who’s perspective I’ve ever had the displeasure of following. When the main character wasn���t whining, it was just pages and pages of the most useless boring shit describing stupid landscapes over and over again. Boring and insufferable to read.”
And then you’ll get the book and read it and it’ll be like “Hi, I’m gothic protagonist. My entire family got brutally murdered by an unknown person and I also got horrifically abused as a child and struggle with severe mental illness, and now there’s unholy paranormal forces at work all against me, but at least I have the love of my life and my closest friends who I’d kill and die for and they’d do the same for me. Even though I’m cripplingly psychologically unwell and severely burdened with the mass of terrible things in my past, I’m going to figure out and track down the thing that killed my family and seek to destroy it, whilst poetically mirroring my suffering with the most beautiful and profound descriptions of the nature around me that you’ve ever read, contrasting the horror of nature with the beauty and goodness of it and giving you an existential crisis. This book is going to make you so ridiculously attached to these characters and change your whole perception of the life you lead.”

Elegant Desire - By Kim jong-geon (8/10)
Tumblr media
The world of music is cutthroat everywhere. Even in the traditional orchestra world. Our protagonist is a bad person who lives in the past. When she sees her first love again she vows to win his love, even though he's completely uninterested. Another man encourages her to pursue this fruitless love, hoping that she'll eventually rely on him.
Be prepared.
Kim Solhui is not a good person. That's a hard hurtle for a lot of readers, who may have trouble sympathizing with her.
The beginning of her story is tragic though.
Tumblr media
She was good with her instrument, the viola. She was also very pretty. A handsome pianist was super in love with her too. Her life was shaping into something good.
Sadly, she was targeted by a woman named Im Sojung. Sojung wasn't a talented viola player, but she is an amazing marketer and producer.
She targets Solhui out of envy. Plus, she wants a certain handsome pianist. He has a good stage aura.
She wants to become the perfect, successful made-for-tv couple with him.
The only problem is Solhui. Handsome piano boy loves her.
Tumblr media
I would love to tell you that Solhui rises above it all. I would love to tell you that the rumors Sojung spreads didn't stick. I would love to tell you she didn't give up on her career because everyone mysteriously believed she was sleeping with the bosses.
I can't do that, because the rumors won.
Solhui lost her budding romance and her passion-fueled career. On top of that the handsome Yoonho marries Sojung, even though he's still in love with Solhui.
All for money.
Solhui sees him on TV sometimes, laughing with Sojung and a fat wallet.
It's enough to drive anyone crazy, but it's no excuse for her behavior.
Tumblr media
She sees her first love, Woojae, with an older woman. That older woman is his employer.
Solhui immediately loses it. She wants to "save him from the ugly cougar". She wants to be his savior in general, because he saved her from bullies in high school. She imagines this bright new future with her very first love.....but he's cold to her.
Solhui blames the other woman, like Woojae is somehow cheating on her, even though they haven't been close for years.
The loss of her career has clearly affected her psyche, but that never gets addressed in a healthy way.
Tumblr media
Hyejung Shin is the perfect villainess to blame. She was a country girl. She married an extremely rich man. She drinks all day and she has wild sex with her driver, Woojae. She's also not very close to her son, Heewon, who is very lonely because both of his parents are cold to him.
Solhui finds an opportunity in Heewon.
Heewon wants to learn how to play the viola.
Woojae refuses to even befriend her, so she decides to become Heewon's music teacher to stay close to her true goal.
Woojae.
Solhui constantly looks down on Hyejung for cheating, even though the wealthy (and abusive) husband cheats as well. She acts like Woojae is somehow trapped, even though the hookups are consensual....but something is wrong...
Is Woojae using Hyejung?
Woojae was best friends with Solhui. Why is he treating her like air?
Tumblr media
Woojae saved Solhui from her bullies, but he couldn't save himself. He was once part of a perfect family, but then his father abandoned his mother.
His mother started to beat him with bottles.
Woojae decided to kill his old self.
His mother eventually left too.
He was all alone. So he made a new life as a sugar baby servant in the big city.
But is that all?
Hyejung is mysteriously connected to Woojae and Solhui's hometown somehow.
It's all very mysterious.
Tumblr media
Also, Heewon is a yandere. He fell in love with Solhui before the main story began. He fell in love with her viola talent and her beauty. When she becomes his teacher he already knows how to play. He copied her passion out of admiration and love, and he gets attached really easily.
Solhui is only half decent to him, but that's enough.
He willingly becomes a pawn in her game to win Woojae, because he knows Woojae. Woojae is no longer capable of honestly loving someone, so he knows Solhui will give up and need to be comforted by someone...
Maybe a nice, rich, younger man....
Tumblr media
Woojae is the most miserable character of them all. I think he (maybe) killed his mom in self defense, but that's just a theory.
Honestly, Solhui should leave him alone.
Her weird obsession with who he used to be (as a teenager) is cringe at best and creepy if you think about it for a second.
Of course he remembers Solhui, and his happy memories with her, but he's literally not that guy anymore. He's freaking thirty.
Solhui needs to grow up.
Tumblr media
Heewon does know about the affair, and hes suspicious of Woojae. He's not super close with his mom, but he does love her.
Solhui's deranged plot to break up Woojae and Hyejung's hookup relationship reveals some unexpected secrets.
Heewon doesn't want his mother to get hurt. Plus he wants Woojae gone so he can start seducing Solhui.
Woojae is in the way.
He's a mysterious, depressed, handsome guy who refuses to get attached to anyone. He's willing to sleep with Hyejung for work, and he seems empty on the inside.
Heewon doesn't care.
He just wants Woojae gone.
Tumblr media
Solhui starts to feel a little guilty about using Heewon...but it's too late.
Heewon isn't some innocent kid.
He's more talented than her too.
With him by her side she can have a future in music again.
How deep is her love for Woojae?
Is she just depressed?
Does she need to move on?
Maybe the secrets Woojae won't let go of aren't a big deal.
Heewon keeps enabling her to keep her around, but he's causing a butterfly effect.
I don't think we're ready to see the disturbing secrets Hyejung has been hiding under her drinking, and her torrid affair.

Agasa-kun wa Yande iru. - By Kamemizu Tora (8/10)
Tumblr media
Date me or I'll die! A scary, yandere high school romance? I don't think so! Our jaded and "intimidating" yandere isn't as tough as he looks. He's just no good at love. Luckily, his new girlfriend is a sweetheart willing to learn and grow with him. He's so blessed!
Ichigotani Nanako is dumb, and gullible. She lives a sheltered and normal life. High school is all sweet for her. Why would she be wary or unkind, when the world is so bright for her?
Tumblr media
When Agasa Yuki confesses to her she's only scared for a second. She instinctively says yes when he gets super desperate...but when he blushes she feels her heart thump for real.
Agasa Yuki acts like a tough loner, but he's really just a boy.
Tumblr media
He is pretty inappropriate and clingy though. Her friends do not approve of him in the beginning.
Tumblr media
Also, he was a stranger to her.
She had no idea he loved her so much.
(Enough to stalk her a little.)
He's famous is school for being handsome, smart...and weird.
Tumblr media
He's really insecure, but Ichigotani Nanako insists on happiness and fluff. She practically forces him into a healthy relationship.
They go slow because it's what she wants.
Tumblr media
This is their first relationship and it shows.
Tumblr media
Agasa Yuki thinks he's a manipulative monster and such, but Ichigotani Nanako has him in the palm of her hand.
Their relationship won't be miserable and toxic, because she makes him too happy.
She thinks he's cute too.
Tumblr media
Obligatory yandere backstory option A:
His parents abandoned him and he was neglected.
That's used to explain his possessiveness.
Yawn, but this is gonna get cute.
Tumblr media
Some toxic thoughts blahblahblah...
Tumblr media
Boom!
Agasa Yuki is a paper tiger in need of love, affection, and kisses!
He's just edgy (and a bit of a bully towards his classmates) but I think he'll grow and change.

Tumblr media
I hate doing this but there's drama in the horror webtoon community and I have to vent.
Do NOT support Hanza_art
If you don't want to be spoiled/involve yourself in a toxic situation do not read further.
My Deepest Secret was infamous for its overly miserable plot twist ending. The main character turned out to be "crazy" and "delusional". Somehow that protagonist was capable of living a normal life and being a serial killer at the same time. This character never got real professional help, and they were left to suffer in their delusions.
The horror community is often wary of authors that portray mentally ill people as unsalvagable or monstrous. Personally, I was horrified.
The backlash was horrible because the plot twist made no sense in general. In addition the story was marketed as a romance and by the end nobody had paired off. I felt my time was wasted, and I was disgusted by the way the "true villain" was discarded for the crime of being mentally ill.
Tumblr media
When Hanza returned with a more level-headed protagonist and a more violent psychopathic villain....some readers gave the author another chance.
I don't blame them. Paranoid characters like Rozy are very interesting! Especially as main characters!
Tumblr media
Hawa, the secondary female lead, grows out of her "naive victim" stereotype as well. It's very satisfying to watch. It was tied together nicely by the handsome villain, Adam.
Tumblr media
Adam is extremely evil and irredeemable. When the story begins he is a serial killer who targets "innocent, sweet" girls like Hawa.
Rozy is overprotective and she doesn't trust men. In fact she's a known man hater. The characters are all adults, so their character traits and desires aren't just quirks. They are all deeply flawed people.
It was a very promising start.
Plus, it wasn't marketed as a romance so I was sure it would be written better! The weakest part of My Deepest Secret was the romance (by the end I mean) so yay!
Or not...
Tumblr media
I do not keep up with TGU on a regular basis. The plot slowed down considerably and I noticed a worrying trend. Frankly, I'm not shocked by this immature behavior in the slightest.
Every single male character in TGU is a sexist abuser who harbors violent thoughts about women.
Hanza is very good at writing scary, irredeemable, sexist pigs that belong in jail...but it was a worrying trend all the same.
Adam was a smart, handsome serial killer who liked to hide in plain sight. By about chapter fifty he was alot dumber, and I cannot stress this enough.
Every male character that associates with Rozy or Hana turns out to be a stalker or harasser. The kind that would get charged in real life.
That kind of hatred towards "all men" is worrying in a thriller comic, and it was very annoying.
I wanted Rozy to outsmart Adam.
I don't want to watch her and Hana be abused by multiple men (mostly former friends!).
I came for the girl boss mystery, and I got alot of sexism instead. What a slap in the face.
Past a certain point I was only checking in to see how bad the story had gotten....and...yup....the male police officer helping Rozy is also a rapey weird guy.
............first of all that's boring.
Second of all it's insulting.
Tumblr media
Hanza hates toxic romance, and it shows, and that's perfectly ok. It's not for everyone, but Hanza has built their entire career on top of sexy murder men...so their attitude is extremely hypocritical and annoying as heck to watch.
"I hate toxic romance but I'm also going to sell suit merch of Elios and Adam."
Like, what did you expect?
Hanza is an adult creator, and they do know who they're catering to.
At this point they are absolutely insulting the fans that pay their bills, and that's unacceptable.
Tumblr media
Authors are public figures now. They have been since the Facebook Era. Random internet trolls should not influence how you speak to your fan base. I understand that working for Webtoon is brutally hard, but Hanza is a popular artist despite their fumbled first story.
It's like watching somebody blow their nose on a golden ticket.
TGU was their second chance. A very generous second chance, that got great reviews in the beginning.
I'm astonished that Hanza somehow managed to concoct another dud plot twist. Their rude attitude has to be the nail in their coffin. They should not get a third generously funded chance.
Don't interact with their posts.
Don't review bomb the webtoon.
Don't give them any more attention.
They've made more than enough money off of fans they clearly don't respect.
Every creator worth their salt knows trolls and super perverts are only 0.05% of any given Fandom.
If Hanza wants to spit on the 99.95% fine.
Just don't give them any more money or support. That's the only punishment fans have the right to inflict.
Why am I so upset?
Well, as you can see Hanza posted spoilers. They spoiler bombed Twitter because they don't want to finish TGU.
That's right. On top of insulting everybody who paid for this comic they also don't want to finish. Despite the fact that the story reached its climax recently. The girlboss alliance is finally forming against Adam but...too bad I don't wanna write it (suckers).
The sibling plot twist is just abysmal as well.
Tumblr media
Shame on you Hanza.
You damn well know that this sibling plot twist is completely out of left field and unexpected. (and boring. I am convinced you are trolling your fans.)
The shipper trolls and the edgy Rozy/Adam fans had no idea it was coming before you randomly spoiled it.
For the record I don't ship anything in this lackluster comic, because I know better. Again, My Deepest Secret was marketed as a Romantic Thriller and then there was zero payoff. Sure, this one isn't a romance, but I don't think anyone signed up for every guy on the block being evil. Just the guy upstairs. Since the story isn't even about love I never imagined so much drama would come out. It feels very pointless and petty. Every time I hear about this artist it's a drama issue and I can't help but think they're part of the problem. Their recent behavior on social media hasn't left me with any other options.
Hanza, you are being manipulative and childish on purpose because you don't want to finish what you started.
You pandered to horror and toxic romance fans on purpose just to get money.
You spoiled a story millions of people have been reading regularly just to satisfy your childish need to bully your own fans.
You took their money.
You signed your contract.
Nobody made you do it.
If you really are super conservative and you think romance must be pure LEAVE US ALONE, and go write pure romance.
Nobody is stopping you, but you wanted to milk more money out of people you don't respect.
It's sickening, and I'm happy that TGU will never get a physical release.
You don't deserve a dime of that money.
Shame. On. You.
