Read the full take

Marriage Toxin is a brash, comedic romance with a premise that is easy to enjoy. Its lead is a young man from a clan of hitmen who has never gone to school and considers himself hopeless with women. When the clan warns that its lineage will end unless he marries and has an heir, he is pushed into a world of courtship he has no idea how to handle. The comedy is lively, with the clash between a tough hitman and a marriage swindler driving most of the laughs. The action sequences are light and effective. The honest cons: the romance follows familiar rom-com beats, and the premise can feel thin over a long run. Some side characters are underused. Still, it is a fun, energetic read for fans of comedy with a hint of danger. If you like a rom-com with a bit of bite, this is a good pick.
