Agathe's Manga

10 alas, dropped (spoile at the end)
I liked the setting, the MC is not a teue villain at the beginning, but a very selfish aristocrat. Her morality standards are low, and she can wonder if she should kill her rival at length : it’s mostly selfish reasons that are going to stop her. But shr would never consider these type of actions if she didn’t feel directly threatened, she’s indifferent, but not evil.
The book of revelations is not a past life know it all thing, but something which enlightens her on her flaws, and she will embrace it painfully, with rather small and mediocre means : which is actually quite nice !
The MC changes, just a bit, but mostly as the arrogant and selfish lady she was raised to be : not a bad person, but not someone too altruistic either. Changes subtle and slow made it more realistic and interesting
I love the possibility of character development when she actually meets the outside world and realizes her « normal » is not everyone’s standard. So far appart from throwing money, she actually didn’t do so much herself.
There were plenty potential to have her grow, and grow up. I would have enjoyed if she questioned the relationship she had from her family promises a bit more.
But this is were it hurts :
Obviously, child admiration and feelings don’t necessarily translate into more than fantasy when you grow up. Also who knows if her attachment was more of pride or love ?
As she realized by c10 she deserved better than being treated like dust in a pocket Great !
But that is it :/
Spoilers

Sadly the story seems to be predictable in a conventional manner.
There’s just one valid option as a male partner on earth and the indifferent guy will be end game. It’s not too bad, but obviously, it’s a bit disappointing.

Lastly, among the spoilers, i read she is « broken good » as she can’t have children, which further reduces the likelihood of her having a new partner.
I don’t like these subjects being taken lightly, as they are very complex and so painful for women. Infertility as often been blamed on women when it was their husbands problems. Lastly those problems are so subtle that i know many women who still had children when they were not supposed to manage - or vice versa
So to say, I particularly dislike that trope and probably won’t read any further

Sorry i had to trash a title like this

25 dropped
First :it’s not fun at all ! The beginning is repetitive and the MC feels like she’s a calculative rock, throwing every one against walls because she’s « cursed « 
Then there’s the mage friend : obviously she’s iin love with her, but rejects him because she considers it dependence and isn’t pleased with the « true »nature of his feelings
The mage obviously loves her sincerely.
The plains scientific truth is that one can judge feelings , we can observe emotions, but feelings are overt. In fact we obviously (and has the MC demonstrates pretty well) we have a hard time understanding even our own.
Felleing are a complex thing, there are often bundled way beyond words, and we all try to intellectualize something which is rather diffuse and diverse in our body.
Feelings are a mystery that has never been cracked !
Yet, here you have a grown woman playing victim because her like and his like are different.
The ML is depicted as rather strange in his mind. But that doesn’t mean he is not devoted or indifferent.
I would be ok with the MC desiring a more conventional relationship. Not everyone can live with someone mentally different. It’s fine. But I don’t like how she victimizes herself
I also feel rather uncomfortable with that MC , he is really such a sad character. It feels a bit too tragic for me.

8 - boring and dumb
Same old repulsive world with the ridiculous motto that only the strongest survive
The MC is supposed to be trash, but that’s only for 2 episodes before he get a cheat system making him the strongest in town three chapters later
It’s already that bad and you have to add the reincarnation of an assassin on top of it : one life is never enough ? Professional killers are obviously deserving to be reborn (?!)
I tend to read 20c for fair appreciation, but I might as well drop this now
Oh, and I forgot, the useless girl who despited her ridiculous S rank, still needs to be saved by the mere E rank / assassin, should we already expect a harem ?

40 i just love it
For once, there’s nothing like romantic war, it’s depicted as the tragedy it truly is. When personal history comes in light,, very obvious that tragedies are never forgotten, wounds are deep and they can never go. The unfairness and the evil of conscription, hierarchy, the desperate situation that men have no choice but to endure, the broken bodies and the broken minds are the true picture that should be passed on
I understand we like to praise our departed with heroic stories, but that’s just tales. The truth lies in mud , pain fear and misery, and for the family, in loss, grief and struggle.

I enjoyed the vivid interactions of the many villagers. It does feel like a community of people caring for each others. There’s a strong sense of solidarity and belonging. I love how they share opinions about the bad nobles, how they hide secrets collectively.
Art wise the eye exchanges and understanding grins made me feel immersed in a community : they are not a mere background

The MC is lovely, she’s got a good and brave hard and is very straightforward. Her self confidence shines, but she also feels very real, down to earth when she talks about marriage, ambitious when she wants to be the village chief , caring when she picks up feed and gives work lost soldiers, daring when she goes to save her sister, cautious when she calls for help …
She's strong, but like a true person, not like most characters, being OP or having impossible backgrounds . She’s just a plain village girl, not a beauty, not a lost princess.

I hope the writer has the intelligence to keep it this way, she would become miserable as a queen

Something makes little sense : after a war, there are usually more women, but at least it is said that the village opened to broken soldiers.
Having no emotions means being impossible to make decisions - it is a biological fact, made obvious after brain injuries. It also has been demonstrated in economical behaviorism, what triggers decisions is emotions , Hume theories were right and Decartes has it all wrong. Wathever we tell ourselves as reason, comes after the decision process has happened !
So basically, a quasi functional individual must have some emos left.
But well there are mages and dragon bone, and the story is too nice to bother

I would hope the story keeps track where the prince becomes a villager and settles down. That would be a great and original variation.
I must say i am worried main streams pushes in the other direction, so i can only hope the compomise will make sense
I don’t want another cinderella story, that’s for sure sure.

20 dropped, i wanted to drop at the first chapter , but since someone found it amazing, i thought I’d follow my rule and give it 20c : it’s still a no go frme, but it might actually start after these excruciating show off chapters

What do I dislike ? it’s another idiotic tale about a guy going solo with an op cheat system giving him abilities out of nowhere and for no reasons
What is called « jobless «  is actually more like a jack of all trades trait, called « omnipotent «  .
With a name like that, obviously, it’s not weak, duh.
The bad
Since c1 he has already maxed out all skills he can get. He breezes through the hardest dungeons when his peers get massacred even when they team up, take time and precautions, etc.
It’s a pure ego trip with every characters being struck whith awe at his abilities ( so boring)
The character is about as empty as can be, another orphaned boy, another weak and greedy kid sister (she wants leat - again), and he has only one goal : becoming to be the top of the world (like it makes sense ?) and on what idiotic criteria do you decide of this ?
The world, is again, absolutely ridiculous : you get stronger by killing and destroying, monsters are idiotic having the same destructive rules

The not so bad :
at least there’s no bullying and evaluations are mostly against monsters
