Dear, Husband. I Love You.

When I initially came across the premise of Kyuukyoku Venus, I wasn't particularly optimistic. I envisioned yet another high school love triangle involving a girl who excessively cries and a boy who obsessively follows her under the guise of 'protection.' However, after actually reading the manga, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my preconceived notions were incorrect.  

The protagonist, Yuzu, stands out as a strong and likable female lead. She doesn't dwell in emotional turmoil or confusion. Instead, the plot revolves around Yuzu navigating a unique situation where she must choose among three fiancés arranged for her.  

This manga strikes a wonderful balance of comedy, drama, and romance, offering an engaging experience for any shoujo fan. While the artwork isn't spectacular or awe-inspiring, it remains solid with well-executed proportions, panel layouts, continuity, and expressive characters. The cast itself is charming, each character bringing their own distinct appeal. Although the story may not be entirely original, it remains entertaining even during its predictable moments. Overall, I would rate this manga a 9 and highly recommend it to readers.

I once again stumbled upon a manga I've read that no one seemed to review. (Sure, you're eager to write a recommendation, but NO REVIEW? Tough luck. You'll just have to read mine!) To be fair, I came across this one by chance.

Story: The plot isn't groundbreaking, but it's not overly common either. Girl loses her parent(s) and has no known relatives. Enter a wealthy grandmother she never knew existed! How convenient!

Exactly.

I enjoyed the side romance involving one of the characters. 'Shame he's the subtly jealous type (not naming names to avoid spoilers). There were moments of humor and drama, particularly betrayal. The only downside was the overarching theme, so I'd rate it a 9.

Art: It wasn't terrible, and I genuinely liked it overall. Occasionally, the excessive blushing irritated me enough to close the tab I was reading it on. Hence, an 8.

Characters: This is where things get interesting. I adored some characters and despised others. Yuzi's romance with that butler annoyed me. What a fake and creepy pedophile. On the other hand, I really liked Iyo and hoped for a pairing with Yuzu. Unfortunately, I doubt that will happen. This section gets a 9.

Enjoyment: To say I didn't enjoy it would be a lie. While I had high expectations and a lingering sense of disappointment throughout, it wasn't all bad. That earns a 9.

Overall: Definitely a shojo manga through and through. Sports are mentioned, and it's undeniably cute. Final score: 8.8.

I liked it, and I'm confident that if you give it a try, you'll find yourself "aww"ing at parts and exclaiming "What the heck!?" at others. A great read for those with time to go through the 18 scanlated chapters.

I love how Zora is daring and bold, the book keeps on getting interesting, with the unexpected happenings.

Great read! She also does not cut the chapters to only 1 per day!! Thank You!!

Idk, I read it like 3 years ago, so there's bound to be some distortion in how I remember it. I do remember that it was one of the first hardcore webnovels I'd read, and I was really surprised by the uniqueness of it. I think that coupled with how long ago I read it really makes me feel like that was a great novel. However if you don't like it, that's completely fine.
Overview :
Post apocalyptic world where monster are all over the world and humans try to fight it. It's very science fiction. Like imagine a regular cultivation xianxia story and just make it sci-fi. MC is a genius (on earth). Gets good opportunity and it turns out he's only a genius on earth. In the world view of things he's like dime a dozen. A regular problem with these kinda of novels is power creep. Things get scaled up to fast too quick. Half the stuff the MC gets isn't used. However the world building is definitely good. The different worlds part of it was really interesting. That's about it, without spoiling much.

Ah what i unknowingly stumbled upon an ancient text!
