Summary from Goodreads:

So when she found herself reincarnated as an undying, unaging witch in a new world, she vows to spend her days stress free and as pleasantly as possible.

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW:

This is a feel good, fluffy, slice of life novel, and for good reason! Azuza ended up dying from overworking and reincarnated as a witch in a new world. She decided to learn from her past mistake and made sure to live a more relaxing, fulfilling life from now on. It's just that she suddenly became famous, and with fame came a lot of problems and people. Luckily, she still sticks to her priorities and makes sure to not overwork herself or anyone else who comes into her life.

It's a quick and cute read if you want a relaxing slice of life book to break up all of the dramatic novels you read recently like I did lol. I just need to pick up the second book soon lol.


Title: I'm No Match For Him
Author: Toribun 
Chapters: 60 chapters
Publication: 2016
Summary from Goodreads:
"Do you really understand what kind of place an all boy school is?" To scare this teacher away I pushed him down on the infirmary bed, but... how did I end up under him!?

3 STARS - I LIKED IT

MY REVIEW: 

The beginning was a little too extreme (who does that to a teacher just because he didn't get a reaction he wanted?), but it got better after that. 

This is a teacher x student relationship. If that's not your thing, don't read it. If you remember that this is just fiction, it's a pretty good read. 

The webtoon really shows Kasuki's growth as a person. He's impulsive and rude and doesn't like teachers at first, but through repeated interactions with Kenji, he starts opening up and becoming honest. They're actually pretty bad at communicating in the beginning, so it was nice to see how they slowly got better at talking to each other and apologizing for not listening and such. 

Kenji doesn't really have much character growth, but I think it's because he's an easy going, go with the flow type of guy, so he not much bothers him except for when he accidentally hurts Kasuki's feelings. However, there are lots of incidents that shows just how serious he is about his relationship with Kasuki. Overall, this webtoon is a nice mix of fluff, romance, and smut lol.
