female leads who get shit done

— after dying in multiple lives, five times, shurielle is determined to break the cycle, in her next life she successfully runs away and plans to keep running.

- gosh I feel bad for fl, her situation is complex but her determination to live is what makes her such a good character.

— due to an accident, camila's soul was put into the wrong body, when it's finally corrected the body she finds herself in is one that has endured many deaths, she now has to try her best to stay alive in a new world.

- the soul swapping plot was unique and new, the seeing ghosts fl is an added bonus as I didn't expect it, fl is very smart becuz of the hardships she endured and she's headstrong too.

— returning to the past after her sudden death at the hands of the emperor yvriel plans to help heal her fathers illness and protect herself by rebuilding her family's power.

- the father is so annoyingly dense, fl has her work cut out for her, she's like the only one who's actually trying to get shit done, hopefully her efforts aren't in vain.

— when lady sierra discovers she's terminally ill and is soon to be dead she devotes the time she has left to throwing away everything she's worked for and to free herself for a peaceful death.

- you might be able to guess the plot twist but it still surprised me, I love how she's dedicated to doing nothing but still ends up doing everything as that's just her personality, she's very silly despite being so serious.

— after waking up in the body of a kdrama villainess, shin sera has to work hard to fix her poor reputation if she wants to survive the role she plays.

- i feel awful for fl, surrounded by crazy nut jobs, no one likes you, and having to no way to escape for unknown reasons errghh, at least she's devoted to staying alive.

— as if getting thrown into a novel wasn't enough, rayne also finds herself dying her first two lives in the novel, on her third life rayne finally decides she will get it right this time and survive past her age of death.

- reminds me a lot of untouchable lady but less sinister, fl and ml are pretty cute too, the family members tho .. yeah

— after being told by her sister that she is pregnant with her husband's child, ariana sets off to have a clean divorce with her unwillingly scummy husband.

- love how quick fl is with everything, she's smart, recouseful, and has a unique liking towards antique artifacts.

— after suffering an ill fate at the hands of her husband madelyn finds herself back in her young body years before her marriage, she decides this time she'll do whatever it takes to avoid suffering the same fate.

- a historical manhwa that's actually historical?? the relationship between fl and ml is tragic and it's the first time I've ever felt so bad for an traumatized ml, they handle it very realistically while also not invalidating fl's feelings.

— after the harsh betrayal from her family in her past, when time reminds our female lead decides to slowly enact revenge against them using previous knowledge and skills, but she must first establish a powerful position for herself in an emperors harem.

- she's very harsh and cold which makes her a unique character compared to most empathetic female leads, the male lead is pretty typical standard cold emperor though but because fl is also the same they go well together.

— tormented by her husband olivia lives a tragic life surrounded by neglect and abuse at the hands of her husband, when she wakes up in the past she refuses to go through the same torment and strives to get a divorce.

- I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the male lead, the ex husband's entire deal is so ..? he didn't show up to their wedding then r/pes fl multiple times but has the audacity to be confused abt her leaving him???
