Nah dude I hate the way the characters are being so... forced to act a certain way.
I vibe with the plottwists, sure ok so the prince had valid reasons to kill MC (who would've thought) and all that BUT, BIG BOOTY BUT.

Why doesn't she just fuck off?
"Oh you look displeased about your new job Liesel"
"No it's alright" - Pathetic, tell them you don't want it. Girlie doesn't even try to get out of her situation.
If ML truly does love her he'll simply follow her there too, boom problem solved, happy ending.
Also, I don't understand why they don't communicate either. Like by now (ch.36) you've seen enough from each other to KNOW. OPEN THE FUCK UP AND KISS.

Even if ML is clueless, FL should just be like "I KNOW, I REMEMBER, WHAT'S OUR PLAN?" asap. Also, homeboy is so one-note. He's all sad boy yearning for FL but does nothing productive otherwise. I really hope to see more from him, specifically him actually thinking about his fucked up situation and what his goals are.
If he just wants to be with FL in whatever state then congrats, just marry her and deal with the jealous hoes.
This artificial drama about their status and how "oh no the hoes are gonna come for FL if they find out" is SO pathetic too. Like you guys already KNOW who the main trouble makers are, fucking focus up and stop wasting time.

To add something positive: I like that the token two-faced evil saintess actually gets some character depth. Obviously she was being treated lesser than by her parents because she was the useless daughter in a power hungry household.
She's a menace but I feel like it's Gideon they better be careful around. Idk whether its funny, agonizing or just stupid but damn the guy really did all that so he'd get to be his crush's number 1. Talk about obsession.

Also also, why do I feel like he's gonna send ML to the battlefield?
Why is he trying so hard to mess with him? If he just left FL and ML alone he'd be getting away with it all. FL would be working away from the capital, ML would eventually follow her while he'd get his own happily ever after with the saintess without anyone snooping into his grand plan.

Now that I'm talking about the saintess... I hate how ML won't just be like "shut up ugly hoe" when she's being all omnious in that under-the-tree-with-eepy-FL scene.
He knows she's crazy about "Gideon", so, hurt her where it hurts the most :)

the author looked at all the otome cliches and just said no with this one

Mid

I've seen all these things done before so this just feels mid imho. It's the same uncomplicated cliches.
Not even ML with his high carat face makes it good for me. He's pretty much the only thing the author is trying to put some kind of twist on but that ended up just being a mix of stereotypes too.

There's nothing to chew on, I already vaguely know how and where this is gonna end up at. Nothing wrong with that but it's overall just ok. Not good, but ok.

After dying in a car accident, I possessed the villainess 'Daphne' in an R-rated dark romance novel....

33/ it's aight. Nothing to write home about atm.

FL possesses the body of a villainess and, just like the title says, gets the support of ML.
Typical rescue mission shit for FL's rep, also the whole stick with opening a business, it's been done so much I feel dead tired of it. The handsome people are the good guys, or at least have some substance to them, while all the cartoonishly ugly guys and gals are one-dimensionally evil.

The usual cliches executed in no particularly outstanding way to me, not even ML's SSR face can make up for my indifference.
I fine read on its own, but if you know the genre it's really mid.

I'm honestly not mad at her, just sliiiightly annoyed. She gave out his phone number under a dumb pretense and that's it, very childish and pointless, a very ok-let's-let-this-child-off situation.
That last "I can't support you"-line is so pathetic though. Appreciate the warning but who asked you for your support anyway?

I have to stop at chapter 7 rq because like, I'm not 100% sure this is just a me-thing, but this whole "women are demons" pov from ML is so???
Nothing against the trauma being there, sounds reasonable, but it's crazy that e v e r y woman this guy meets tries to drug him e v e r y t i m e in some way - or at least it sounds like the guy never met a sane woman besides that redhead maybe.
It feels cartoonish to me, like the story artificially made every other woman look bad so ML would have an excuse to neglect FL.

bro you can't just set her up to be this convincing villainess, playing everyone for the sake of her sister's happiness, just so it turns out everyone has known from the beginning. Like MAN. I expected that maybe the sister, butler, and (sure why not) the ML knew but not the whole damn cast of characters. That's so pathetic lmao. She from from slay to flail way too quick imo.
I like how crunchy the story is, you can chomp it in one bite and enjoy the ride, but if you look too close it starts to crack.
I understood the fake-bullying to distract the parents and unwanted meddlers, but then it gets to faking Iora's handwriting and that letter, and I just can't follow the logic anymore.

She may be a dumbass but at least ML is openly calling it out and loving her for it, god bless lmao

I hate that kinda FL boo-hoo-I-have-to-leave-ML-behind mindset, especially when their logic isn't logicing.
Correct me if I'm wrong but from how things are going very much her way she doesn't have a real reason to leave Dino behind. Her position as national monster-sitter isn't even dangerous because her life force is fine and she doesn't have to join any wars anyway because her monster-hubby is registered as an apothecary type. She has no reason to leave?
Please I pray that there won't be any artificial drama about her leaving or whatever, it just doesn't add up in my tiny pebble I call brain.

I have to say, after holding my breath and crying for 23 chapters, his new twink form gives me so much whiplash. I just had to pause real bad. I don't understand why it has to be twink - it's ok to reincarnate and possess bulky men, they have a soul worthy of kicking out too, don't be so scared now.

This is everything I wanted in a reincarnation story and more.
I'm so angry and upset for Margaret. I also love how realistically war is portrayed. The focus shouldn't be on the winners, not the grand fictories but the person, the people, who have to suffer through and die by the tragedy that is war. Not to repeat mistakes of the past - this manhwa aced that message while also incorporating some sick magicy feels with Mag's whole reincarnation/fate thing.

somnia created a topic of Taming the Corrupted

I stomped on the brakes at chapter 30.

First of all, I don't know if it's just me but the dialogue felt so... theatrical in the beginning, the pretentious kind, perhaps thats just me.
What bugs me more is my disappointment towards how FL is percieved. Like, girlie was so quick to analyse and see through all these handsome bastards, so I expected them to do the same thing and test her. But all of them buy it just like that, and the prince's 2nd birthday banquet set that in stone.
I was really thinking that the Duke had secretly already seen through FL's lover girl poker-face and taken advantage of her anyway. Same with ML, but it turns out he just fell for her while the Duke fell.. into her trap. Meh. I wanted more of this suspense in not knowing whether they were being honest of not.

Also, I don't understand why FL didn't tell ML who really was behind his kingdom's downfall, about the prophecy etc. Visit the old man with him. She is so happy to have a common enemy with ML but fails to tell him that he's misguided in his hatred for the Emperor.
And ofc now ML runs into the Duke's arms, unknowing of the truth, just to build up this cheap-feeling drama born thanks to non-communication and oversight. Amazing.

If this does go in a different direction tell me, but for now I'm turned off by where this is headed.

This is how you do bdsm; I was so over all these smut manhwa that did not have a clue and just made the sub look like a stockholm victim. You can tell ML is invested in his role too and only powerless on a surface level during their play. Which makes it even more hot bc you know he's groveling out of pure horniness and love for FL.

somnia created a topic of Remarried Empress

You know, the way she died was sad but at the same time... it feels so useless after almost 200 chapters of her mostly acting like a vain hoe with no personality, you know what I mean? She was a cheap knock-off bratz villain from the start, never felt like a threat or a person (maybe for like 2 seconds during her blackstory but that's it). Her death was as useless as her life was, talking story-wise.
If the author now dares to have the Emperor remarry again and let him get away with nothing but sad boy energy, I'll riot.
