Daniel hires Rose as his personal assistant with generous salary and 3 stipulations in the contract - one lays out no romantic attachments in the office. So Rose is supposed to keep Daniel focused and fed while figuring out the office politics and aid Daniel and Andrew in patching up ruptured client relationships. Now just who is Daniel focused on, who is Rose focused on, and what doe the mysterious hottie really want from Rose? We will just have to wait until volume three for that to be revealed!

Thanks Netgalley and Wattpad Webtoon Books for the chance to read this volume.

⭐⭐⭐/5 Stars

This is a second volume of a web toon that has been pretty popular before coming to a book context. Overall the story of Age Matters is a cute romance with an age gap and also between a woman who is working for a very successful but younger man. Throughout the story you see Rose stay committed to working her hardest and also seeing that Daniel is also showing that he really appreciates and also starting to recognize maybe he has more feelings then he lets on.

I will say I have not read the first volume, so I went into this blind, and I think that has affected my personal opinions on this story. I do think that you will have to read the first volume to have a better idea of the characters. It was not impossible to follow along, but I feel like you will get a lot more context if you read the first volume prior to this reading experience. Despite that I still enjoyed some of the twists and turns. I will say this is a very fast paced story so it did feel like there was a lot of jumping around for this story.

However the best part of this story is the characters. Rose is fun and relatable, she is always trying to do her best and seems very relatable. I also enjoyed Daniel as he is more of a laid back but strong in his beliefs. I do think that they are a good pairing and even though this is very much the beginning of their story I can't wait to see them grow together.

I think if this is of interest to you then I highly recommend you to go back and read the first volume first and then come back and enjoy this one, as it is a continuation. Personally, I might go check out the original webtoon myself, but if you are looking for a cute feel good romance, this might be for you.

Volume two picks up right where volume one left off. Rose is now Daniel's assistant as she finally realizes that he is the CEO of Mine. She's a little slow. Lol
Daniel is still acting like quite the jerk and being jealous any time Rose seems to spend time with other men. Rose, of course, doesn't notice and encourages Daniel to spend time with a model the company is trying to build a relationship with, Via. It's obvious Daniel is starting to like Rose, but he just doesn't know how to be a normal person about it. Lol We also meet a new guy, a model named Dylan. He says he wants to get to know Rose, but I'm kinda skeptical of what his real intentions are. 🤔
The volume ended on a cliffhanger, so I'm curious to see where the next volume goes.
I really like the art and character design. But I do feel like the formatting was a little off sometimes. But that was probably because I was reading a digital ARC. I hope the next volume is longer, I need more!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to the author, Wattpadbooks Netgalley for my digital ARC.

The second volume of <i>Age Matters</i> features chapters 16-25 of the Webtoon. When the physical copy of the book arrived in the mail, I was disappointed to see it was at least 100 pages shorter than the first volume. To me, not including at least 15 chapters like the first volume did comes across like a cash grab. I did, however, really enjoy the change they made to vibrant, glossy pages. This is a better medium for the art than the dull, matte paper they used in the first volume.

The art, as usual, is beautiful. This style has so much charm, but one critique I have with it is that some of the characters can look too much alike.

As for the story, I’m still frustrated that this was so much shorter than the first volume, but overall was still enjoyable. I did see other reviews that called out some of the clunky writing style, and I agree but also think some of that has to do with how this was edited prior to release in physical form. I noticed at least one error in formatting (repetition of text twice in a row) which was also present in the first volume. Clearly, since they changed the name of the social media company that Daniel created from Lime to Mine, they’re editing this (although I also don’t like that change since Mine is such a common word and I keep forgetting when they say it that they’re referring to the company). It just seems sloppily done overall.

5 stars for my nostalgic enjoyment of the story. 3 stars for the adaptation of this webtoon to a physical form.

<b>Overall Rating:</b> 4 stars.

<i>A big thank you to Netgalley and the publisher, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, for providing me with an advanced copy of this graphic novel in exchange for an honest review!</i>

And Rose becomes the secretary! As Rose and Dylan navigate this new relationship, though still boss-employee, one that brings Rose into Dylan's work where she learns more about him and her perception of him changes.

I enjoy Enjelicious's art style still (originally read this on Webtoon) and their humor.

For a fun, light read where you see two opposite's romance continue to develop as they open up to each other, enjoy the second volume of Age Matters.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Feat: reverse age gap, boss/employee

Rose Choi and Daniel Yoon
Enjelicious’s art is beautiful as always! I initially heard of this series from Webtoon and I was immediately captivated by the CEO x secretary trope. There aren’t many instances where I read a story and I am also rooting for the side characters just as much as the main characters— but Ruby!!! She knows how to make an entrance and I can’t wait to learn more about her. Anyone who knows me, knows I’m a sucker for fictional blonde boys but what really sucks is THAT CLIFFHANGER!! I need volume three now!

I would like to thank Enjelicious, Webtoon Unscrolled, and Netgalley for this ARC.

I have never read anything like this before, it was very interesting!! I don't want to leave a super in depth review as I am newish to the genre but this has opened up the door to stuff I would like to read more often!

Thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad WEBTOON, and Enjelicious for the opportunity to read an ARC of this title. An honest review was requested but not required.
I enjoyed volume One of Age Matters and really looked forward to volume Two. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was easy to pick volume Two up without re-reading One and that we picked up just where we left off. Rose has been offered a (well-paying!) job as Daniel’s assistant at the social media company Mine. Rose does not realize right away that Daniel is CEO which is pretty typical for these sorts of stories. Rose actually does not realize a lot of things that seem fairly obvious to the reader, LOL.
I liked seeing some more background about Daniel, who has more face time in volume Two than he did previously. The other staff seem nice so far although I see there is some drama forming between Rose and Daniel and Via (as far as I could tell, a model contracted to do PR/feature in advertising for Mine?) and Dylan (not sure what his role was. Another model? A friend of Via’s?).
I liked the art, which is consistent and well-drawn. The story was fine, except that the formatting caused a lot of the sentences to be spliced together in mixed fragments, making it difficult at times to figure out what was being said. Overall though I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to the conclusion (or continuation) of the story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange for review.

Daniel and Rose continue their "friendship" as Daniel offers Rose to be his personal assistant for is company, blending the reality of their relationship while also drawing a strict line for Rose to avoid office romance. Rose also finds out that Daniel is actually the CEO of Mine, altering her perception of Daniel just a bit. However, as she meets more of Mine's employees and clients, it seems as if Daniel is starting to see Rose past their original partnership.

This second installment is a good continuation of the first. Although I still enjoyed the first volume more, the continuation of their budding relationship kept me engaged along with the addition of several new (and very interesting) characters. 3.5/5 stars rounded up.

These are pretty good. I still find him annoying, but I think he is starting to act more like a regular person instead of an overbearing jerk. She seemed more scattered in this volume. Of course, getting a new job and not being totally clear on what's expected is part of that. I'll keep going with the series just to find out what happens with the triangle that is slowly forming.

Originally on WEBTOON, this follows an almost 30 year old FMC named Rose and 23 year old successful billionaire, Daniel Yoon.

The story is sort of forced proximity. Cinnamon roll girl who’s been hurt and heartbroken doesn’t see her worth. Cole lonely business finds it hard to get close to anyone and rarely goes out or does anything “normal”.

I’m curious how this will ultimately turn into a romance. At the moment, I like the progression of their relationship as employer/employee as well as their blossoming friendship.

I’m enjoying it and almost wanted to read it on WEBTOON before, but never did. Congratulations to Enjelicious on being published!

Wattpad Webtoon Book Group provided an early galley for review.

I enjoyed the first volume of this manga earlier in the year, so I decided to continue with the story.

The story continues to move at a slower pace, even as the interactions shift to the corporate offices. The staff is full of attractive individuals, all beautifully rendered in the art. It reminds me in a lot of ways of soap operas I watched as a young adult - full of relationship tensions.

Another aspect of the art which I like is how it is very cinematic in its presentation. Gestures are conveyed over several panels; I feel like I am watching an anime rather than reading a static manga.

I’m not sure if this was translated… but my problems with it are that it reads like a clunky translation. The story is somewhat interesting, I like the characters, but everything they say is stunted and feels awkward. I love the art style and the overall feel. I love the new characters introduced in this one, but I wish the “script” was better. For lack of a better word.

5/5

This story had me in a chokehold from page 1. I can’t wait to find out more every time a new volume comes out.

Rose went from being cheated on and dumped and needing a job to becoming a cute secretary for her best friend’s boss. Even though it happened unconventionally Daniel trusts Rose a lot. In volume two the drama gets even better due to Daniel uses Rose to make someone jealous but also a very cute guy starts hitting on Rose! I am so invested in seeing what happens next.

This was cute! I only recently got into Webtoons/manga and so I don't have a vast amount of knowledge on this topic. This was a really fun read though! Pretty art, enticing story and really fun characters. I don't really have anything negative to say. I can't wait to read more!!!

The main characters look like Marinette Dupain Cheng and Adrien Agreste, even through this is a slow burn, but in my opinion, the characters have no chemistry together.

Oh goodness this was so good. Rose and Daniel are getting closer. The art is utterly gorgeous, it kept me engaged and not being able to put this down. I love this, and definitely would love to read the next volume.

Age Gap and Slow Burn

Age Matters vol 2 picks up with CEO Daniel Yoon wanting to hire Rose Choi as his personal assiatant. Daniel and Rose begin working together fulltime and Rose begins to understand who Daniel Yoon is. Daniel doesn't know his limits. As a 23 year old billionaire of a popular company, Mine, he doesn't take breaks or rest even though this is what he encourages his staff to do. That's where Rose comes in. She is 29 years old and feels like she hasn't accomplished anything in her life. She helps Daniel manage his boundaries between work and rest and forces him to relax every once in awhile. The more time they spend together, the more tension builds.

I had started this webtoon years ago and really loved the characters. The story is sweet and the chemistry of the two leads is exceptional. Of course, there are always others who interfere. Mr. Chen is a model and the same age as Daniel. He tries to win the affections of Rose and makes Daniel jealous along the way. Andrew is Daniel's friend and someone that Rise really connects with and respects. Via is a popular model who is vying for Daniel's attention. Even with all these additional live interests, you can't help but root for the leads to get together.
The art is beautiful and the story is entertaining. I gave this story a 4.5 stars. Rose is relatable as someone who doesn't think she has accomplished anything and has low self confidence. Daniel's encouragement adds to their growing chemistry. This is a story I highly recommend.

So so good!!! It picked up right where volume one ended and I love the way the story flowed! I cannot WAIT for the next volume for continuation!!

This story is getting super good, Yoon has now hired her to work at his company. While their dynamic has not changed as she keeps taking care of him so he doesn't overwork himself these two seem to be getting closer but Rose seems to be oblivious and keeps putting herself down.
