Bastards's Manga

I'm sorry but I absolutely despise how they keep adding more and more characters and conflict when the biggest conflict of all hasn't been solved. There's a lot going on with little to no explanation and I feel like it's to make the story stand out or be more "grand" but you can still have an interesting story with a more small cast of characters. It's an interesting story and all but it's doing way to much atp

This story suffers from an unfortunate amount of marry sue syndrome. If you're unfamiliar with the term it essentially means the story is generic and filled with common tropes. This story simply fails to add its own twist to the "I became the dukes daughter" common trope, making it a very boring and slow read imo. But what truly made this a hard read was the weak female lead. Shy female leads are definitely great! Not every fl is going be this girl who can say whatever is on there mind but being shy to the point where you cry over anything and everything is not endearing, it's annoying. So not only is this story generic to a fault, the fl is hard to watch. She doesn't have a single strong bone in her body

This is honestly the best reincarnation historical stories of its kind out there. There are many stories where the mc is reincarnated into their child self but this one takes the cake 100%. The fl is truly strong and intelligent and always stands her ground. She is likeable and refreshing. I also love how she tried to make the best out of her reincarnation and not hid her talents, which is sadly common in these types of stories. She's smart, driven, kind, and empathetic. This is definitely worth a read!
