I Raised a Black Dragon

MC is constantly pushed around by the ML. She has no say in anything - or rather, she doesn't say anything. It's incredibly annoying.It seems like, in manhwas, you just have to be disgustingly pushy and forceful to become the ML. Annoying people just flock to her like flies do to horse shit ... She accepts anything ML says and demands because she's a pushover. Currrently she's also dim-witted, lazy and has zero ambitions. I estimate that it will probably change at some point and then she'll suddenly be good at everything, knows everything and can see through all plots - or she becomes the ultimate Mary Sue being saved again and again without knowing what's actually going on. But nonetheless, she'll still stay a pushover being coerced or outright blackmailed into stupid and one-sided deals, despite having a powerful dragon by her side! The only good thing about this manhwa is the cute dragon. It became 3/10 instead of 1/10 for "characters" just because of the dragon.

honetsly dont expect much about this, but, as far as i'm concerned, i started it with a negative prejudice, as i had read the reviews, and thought i wouldnt like it : well, surprisingly, i was wrong.  the overall manhwa is chill. that's the word. it's quintessentially chill and laidback, i would say.  the art in itself is immaculate : the toned colors, with pops of vibrant hues, the overall soft vibe, and the grainy texture really provide you with an ambiance, the latter i find tremendously cute. extra points are given for the fashion sense of the artist, which gives an extra thing to look at and adds to the vintage atmosphere. and i really mean it (i withdrew 0.5 because i didnt like the ML face at first :P) when it comes to the story, its nothing too crazy to begin with : poor FL died from overworking in her previous life and got reincarnated as the villain in a novel she occasionnaly read. she then finds herself raising the dragon that was supposed to belong to the MC of the original plot. the FL is neither shy not badass : she just vibes, she's here to chill after spending her fisrt life working like crazy. the overall plot is quite simple and smooth-paced and i find myslef liking it more than i probably should, given how picky i tend to be.  the family trope is heart-warming, the dynamic is enjoyable. cute and smooth, heartening i'd say. it is really similar in numerous aspects to 'spy x family' and 'the millionaire detective'.  appropriate for a chill afternoon read

I'll be honest about the manga, I only gave the characters 9 points because the baby dragon was shown really really adorable but its just that. Other than that the characters arent that great, the ML is shown to hate the FL and is always suspcious of her for different reasons though he's not in the wrong as she used to be called the witch and had a lot of convictions against her, but the person who possessed her body after the original FL died is shown to be a genuinely nice person so later on he gets to trusting her. Anyhow the story has no story at all its just getting so boring and going in circles that I thought of dropping it so many times but has not yet dropped it only because of the baby dragon. Thats all. I wont recmmend anyone reading this if you want a good story. But if you like babies or kids in the  manga this one is a heart warming one but only the baby dragon's part.
