Mini Reviews: Agreement Mark [Wear Book], Wen Qiao in My Arms, I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! vol. 1

Title: Agreement Mark [Wear Book]
Author: 童柯
Chapters: 75 chapters + 8 extras
Publication: 2021
Summary from jjwxc:

Shen Jin, beautiful and reserved, is a high-cold school boy.

One day, he remembered that he was the cannon fodder for a heartthrob in a novel, and soon he would be turned into a dark room by perverts.

In his haste, he decided to find a fake boyfriend for himself to scare off the perverts, preferably the one who had no interest in him.


So, he turned his eyes to his cold deskmate, who had clearly expressed his disdain for him.

They first signed an agreement mark, and they both adapted well to each other, so the agreement mark was upgraded to an agreement love.


Until he remembered that the deskmate was the protagonist Gong who was chased by thousands of fans.

Shen Jin wanted to end this fake relationship, but the process was a bit tortuous, and her wish to break up was never realized.


After a certain physical education get out of class was over, he was pressed in the bathroom cubicle of the gymnasium to mark him, and the protagonist's call was heard just across the wall.

Alpha covered his lips, and said in a casual tone, "Be careful, that guy is coveting you."


Shen Jin wants to cry but has no tears, he is looking for you.

Also, I'm a Beta, and I won't feel anything if I mark it ten times.

*

Anyone who is familiar with Qiankun knows that this person is a good disguise, but he is cold and crazy in his bones. He is a wild horse that no one can tame.

Until a party saw him blocking a cold young man in a dark corner.


"I agree to break up," his voice was gentle and seductive, "Then do you want to agree to get married? I'm very good." ——This relationship can't go on, why not get married.

——Because you are a Beta, the marks given to you are endless.

4 STARS - I REALLY LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:
 

This was so good! I loved Shen Jin the more and more I got to know him! He's so precious and proud and defensive! Watching him slowly put away his thorns around Qiankun was so sweet and satisfying. And reading all of Qiankun's antics was also sweet and hilarious. The sibling love and family love and support were also great.


Title: Wen Qiao in My Arms
Author: 请叫我山大王
Chapters: 72 chapters 
Publication: 2021
Summary from jjwxc:

When Wen Qiao saw Song Shiyu for the first time, he was a young man with black hair and black eyes. He was sitting by the window doing test papers. His fair skin and side face were cool and classic. Even the fingers that turned the pen were slender, beautiful and delicate. She was immediately shocked.

Who knew that under his cold and classical elegant appearance, he was cold and poisonous.

Come and go as soon as you ask her every day.

When she was young, she was bewildered by his looks, and she was willing to be his lackey and be employed by him, and she still enjoyed it.

Until he said coldly to her on the phone: "Wen Qiao, you let me down so much."

She finally came to her senses and completely stopped thinking about it.

Reunion after many years.

Song Shiyu stood in front of her, lowered his head, lowered his eyes, grabbed her wrist vigorously, and asked humbly, "Wen Qiao, let's make up, okay?"

Wen Qiao: "No. " 

The female protagonist who can do anything#vs#The male protagonist can't do without her#

3.5 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This is similar to the author's previous work The Best Zhuang Yan in the World where it stars a not super gorgeous but pretty enough female lead with a great personality but low self-esteem in relationships and a male lead who has liked her for a long time. There were a lot of misunderstandings from their past that was slowly uncovered throughout their time together after they reconnected again in the present. So if you liked The Best Zhuang Yan in the World, you'll probably like Wen Qiao in My Arms and all of the similar emotions the author evokes in you like I did. :)


Title: I Was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! vol. 1
Authors: Sou Inaida, Ataka, Hachipisu Wan
Pages: 184 
Publication: 2021
Summary from Goodreads:

Fated to die as the villainess of an otome game, Mystia sets out to change her own unhappy ending!

Mystia Aren is the daughter of a noble family, and she just started high school. She’s surrounded by a group of adoring classmates and her charming fiancé. Everything seems perfect.

Except that this world is actually a dating sim called Kyun-Love, and Mystia knows she's been reincarnated into the role of the main character's evil rival! Mystia is determined to do everything she can to avoid her fate, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. Especially when all the boys keep falling in love with her! 

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

This is similar to My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! where the female lead realizes that she's a villainess who will have a bad ending if she continues to follow the storyline. Luckily, they both realize this at a young age and so try to change their fate early on, which inevitably makes the male leads fall for them instead. 

The main difference is that this series seems light and fluffy on the bright side but is leaning towards some yandere characters on the dark side. The art is pretty, and Mystia is pretty Mary Sue, however, I'm still interested in seeing just how yandere these other characters will become and just how dense Mystia is to everyone's feelings lol. I think the plot will get pretty interesting once they're finished going over all of the backstories.
