The Tyrant's Only Perfumer - Reviews

It's readable but it's SO annoying.  FL just suffers 24/7 for ML to look good.  You're a villainess of sorts?  Except you only really messed with the ML for a year and that's about it..  And tough toodles that nobody respects you, and the ML who 'hated you' has to step in.  A wealthy, decently ranked in status daughter?  Too bad your dad wants to sell you off and the ML has to stop a dude from sexually harassing you.  You're an actual genius perfumer?  Enjoy not being able to make money off of that or solve annnnnything until the ML strolls up and helps you.  

She acknowledges it, in a form of lampshading, and says 'you're not helping by butting in' but the result is disgustingly laughable.  If You're looking for a strong, independent woman who doesn't NEED a man but would accept one anyway- that's not what you'll find here.  You'll just find a ML constantly 'fixing' things for a FL and them falling into a relationship that I can't bring myself to ship at all.

That said, it's readable if you have absolutely nothing else to read. The art is pretty.  The accuracy of the perfume making (besides the magic) is nice and the actual perfume recipes with the extracts included are cool, though I'd like amounts too- well, it's more fun to figure out the concentrations that you prefer yourself anyway.  

Story :

The plot itself is fun to read as a light-read, but its certainly not perfect. It certainly reminds me of "The Duchess' 50 Tea Recipes" where the MC transmigrated and uses their so called speciality there and basically makes people in awe. But with the plot holes here and there.. im quite irked haha. The MC basically doesnt have to do anything much, bcs the oh so godly author hand will always help her w something new lmao. That's what makes me feel that the story itself is pretty frustrating. The plot doesnt seem well-planned, and new people keeps suddenly jump in to help the MC. Well at least we can appreciate the comedy in here tho, it's fun.

Art :

Sigh.. the art truthfully is pretty good. But i keep seeing some problems here and there.. but tbh i really dont hv any comment except that.

Characters :

Oh here we go, the most frustrating part. Let's just keep it simple w the points :

- MC : oh the most problematic one. MC's character here is.. i must say, very very shallow. She's your typical "strong" MC, but well.. she doesnt seem to be so to me.

- ML : i personally thought he'll be at least a little interesting at first, but now he doesnt even fulfill half of my expectation. He's your typical cool guy who doesnt have a clue about how he actually feels for the MC. Yes, your typical "oh im gonna make you frustrated with my cluelessness, but im cool so u wont hate me" ML..

- Enemies : wow hello, the enemies here makes me feel so nostalgic lmao. They keep reminding me of sailor moon or sm child anime, where the evil guy keeps making problems for MC but the problems itself r just so useless and with MC's so called power, they outpowered the evil guy. But even tho the evil guy keeps failing, they somehow keeps making problems for the MC. That basically summarizes the enemies here lmao.

- Side characters : somehow i keep feeling bad for the side characters in this manhwa.. you can see that even tho they can be pretty good sidekick, they never get some spotlight. They're just there to help MC, that's all. And i feel super bas for the dad bcs after MC got their own shop, he's gone.. mayb forever lmao. ((Kinda spoilery : and u see the flower shop guy? Wow, he really turned from "im gonna help you without expecting anything" guy to "wow i fell in love with you" guy without any explanation whatsoever lmao.))

Should you read this? Well.. suit yourself. But tbh its better to just read smth else.. but if u domt rlly care abt plotholes or anything like that and just want to enjoy some comedy, i think this manhwa is pretty good for u. <3

This wasn't the worse read, as in it is readable. I started this Webtoon when it was first released, and I thought had a very 50-50 ratio in becoming a good or bad Webtoon, but it isn't as bad as I expected. It is generic, the ML wonders why the FL decides to let him go as she pursues her passion, he wants to help her to get close to her and try to win her back again. I mean, it is a fun and clean read, it is not meant to be thought of too much. Just read it when you have time :)

The story is pretty generic and you can easily predict most of its content.There are quite a lot of conversations/ interactions that are awkward. 

The characters are bland.

The art often has awkward facial expressions, weird outfit choices, some panels doesnt do their job of conveying the supposed mood.

I'm sorry!! I have to give this an overall 9.5 just because I keep seeing so many people rate this as bad but I'm actually loving it. Yes I get that the ML and FL is annoying saying they are only business partners and nothing more but the FL keeps going on and on about creating perfumes as her passion and like everyone is always in awe, also come on? the thing with the "Rival Enemy" only happened once and poof they just went away, the Second ML I'm guessing is the Empresses son? This dude is nothing more than a weirdo, a cute weirdo? A cute weirdo who instantly fell in love with the FL because he was lonely and wanted a sort of comfort because he got grounded? LMFAO DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH. 

If you only want to read for the story and not the annoying FL and ML "business partner" title and don't care about what's happening and only want to read it for her perfumery skills. Yes go ahead.
