MC, framed as a villainess, regresses back in time before her suicide to prevent the events that lead up to her death. this focuses a lot on the father and daughter relationship, which i found to be very lovely (and very sad… many tears were shed bc of these two). in her first life, MC dies not knowing that she was loved, which was unfortunately a result of a more complicated plot in which her father had to distance himself from her.

completed. an okay read.
MC reincarnates as the villainess of a novel, who in the original story regressed back in time to seek revenge against those who wronged her. basically, a reincarnation regressing story. MC seeks revenge against her family while discovering the truth about her birth. a fairly short and easy read about a villainess who’s capable of using violence to deal with enemies. the revenge in here is kinda satisfying, but the characters feel a bit lackluster.

comp. good start, rushed end.
MC reincarnates as the villainess, her fav chara. she is able to meet OG villainess (OGV) in her dream & view her memories. in the novel, OGV was suffering from a fatal illness & acted like a villain to not be used as a pawn. MC aims to improve OGV’s reputation by changing the story. this was interesting due to how MC cared more about OGV than anyone else. ending was rushed bc major plot points were revealed only towards the end. ML choice was meh.

comp. nice&easy read.
MC transmigrates into a novel that she wrote 10 yrs ago as the villain. time loops endlessly until she acts like the “villain” that is crucial to the story. desperate to break the time loop, she makes a deal w an evil sorcerer, who becomes her butler and helps her achieve her goals w his own goals in mind. MC and ML have a lovely romantic dynamic, and MC’s development is interesting. story & art is rushed near the end.
