Zihvuda's manga / #Mystery(3)

This is the story of an orphaned girl getting reincarnated as a princess from a novel she read. The princess was secluded in a palace and then eventually killed by the king, MC obviously wants to avoid that and so tries to do so making use of all the stuff she can remember from the novel. The art is good, the characters- well mainly MC and the king are interesting and the mystery that slowly reveals itself is pretty interesting. It's also legible! Whoever the translators are/were knew at least what they were doing in regards to the english language, which is always a plus. The King/father is legit terrible, and kind of gets better little by little, but doesn't reeeaaally do much to actually redeem himself. Still the father-daughter relationship is the heart and soul of this story, and I cannot help but like the development. After binging through it for a day I stopped and the next day when I came back I found there were a number of things that ended up bothering me and that also I don't actually care about anyone but Athy (MC) and by extension her dad, the rest of the characters are just... kind of there. There's romance and love triangles and hoo boy, is the love triangle kind of problematic. MC is a grown ass woman in the body of a baby and then a little kid and then pre-teen. She's 14 at the point where I got to, and like... she has some sort of crush on the white haired kid? He's like 16(?) at that point but she's thought of him as hot before too and I'm like ??? Excuse me ma'am? Are you a grown ass adult perving on a child??? Wtf?? The other guy is some kind of immortal wizard, he's really old, and it's better 'cause MC is an adult and so is he. I wouldn't say we've been given any especially clear indication who she ends up with, though i really really hope it's with the wizard rather than the child. ⚆ᗝ⚆ I found it annoying when MC comes across someone whom she could probably talk to about her reincarnation, but somehow doesn't realize/understand/want to and continues to hide the fact despite this person making direct reference to how old she "actually" is and being pretty trust worthy. In other stories characters hide who they are because they usually get reincarnated into the body after the original has been around for some amount of time, but here there's no reason why she needs to hide it. No reason not to just go "Oh! You know I come from a different dimension? Neat!" There's a few other things that seem pretty obvious and MC comes across as a little stupid, but otherwise it's not bad. Would recommend giving this a read, but also keep in mind some of these relationships are kinda fucked up.

This is the story of a girl who in order to take care of her sisters, dresses as a man (I don't really know how it's convincing, but sure) to peddle candy by day and steal from the rich to give to the poor by night. There's no mention of her father, but her mother was killed some time ago, and our MC is trying hard to find the culprit and get revenge. During her investigation she meets a number of people including the male lead and the second male lead. She ends up investigating drug trade. The romance is there, but thankfully doesn't get in the way of the mystery plot, although the quasi love triangle annoys me. The story is interesting and the characters are engaging. The translation seems good, and the art is fantastic, though it does not help with MC's disguise when trying to look like a man. I honestly just don't get how anyone (ESPECIALLY OTHER WOMEN) could ever mistake her for a man. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Her disguise is essentially men's clothes + hat. Like this is C-drama levels of bad.
