How to Be a Dark Hero’s Daughter

I'm going to add this tentatively. The girl has memories from her past life: however, she is still a ten year old and makes ten year old decisions. I wouldn't go into this thinking that she is a twenty-something adult making adult decisions. I would say she is pretty intelligent and brave for a ten-year old and that adds the charm to this webtoon.
: No romance. Lots of platonic love though :D

I'm A Stepmother, But My Daughter Is Just Too Cute!

Badass woman who has a strong personality. She combats mental illness and is compassionate for others. It seems like she is living life for her non-bio daughter rather than herself. IMO ML is okay but an asshole.
Update: The one ML backstory I excuse
: Slow burn.

This girl is so determined to live that it is admirable. She may not be physically strong, but this girl is mentally strong. Suffer through chronic sickness to get stronger! Honestly I am rooting for the MC!

Honestly isn't "Genius Girl with 500IQ beats enemies!1!". It's more of a girl trying to be healthy
: Slow burn.

The Evil Lady's Hero

Genre(s): Romance / Webtoons / Fantasy /

The MC is a perfect mesh of a realistic character. She does get a bit emotional, but is also rational about things. While she feels compassion for the story's MC, she offers key advice but stays away. She knows when thinks can be controlled and when they can not. It is also a breath of fresh air when the MC teaches the ML how to appropriately act in a relationship.
: Romantic-based and slight smut

I was genuinely surprised by this webtoon. For some reason I wasn't expecting this to be good? However, the chars are realistic and there are so many plot twists?! I was genuinely surprised on the direction the author took it and I'm an avid follower of this webtoon now. Perfect fusion of AI and ancient culture.

: Vague interest but currently in the you-are-really-suspicious-so-i-am-pretending-to-like-you zone or friend zone

I praise the MC for her intellect and rationality. She is a bit soft for the ML, but this a romance webtoon so who is honestly surprised. Her smart intellect makes this webtoon an interesting read. Slow updates as of now.
Update: This has been DROPPED

: Romance is the main genre of this novel

I love the protectiveness of the MC. She loves her family and is soft hearted. This soft-heartedness is what makes her so strong in the face of adversity. She is the mama bear of her family and literally so ready to fight anyone who is a threat. Kinda been a while since I've read this

: Romance is main focus

The MC is literally an oxymoron. Really kind but can be really cold. Childish but very mature. Naïve but really sharp. Very interesting blend.

: For the romance people. Romantic interest in like 10 chapters.

Smart, independent protag. Despite being carefree, she feels responsibility in managing territory and improving the lives of her fiefdom. Love this story.
