TheMidnightower's manga / #Strong Female Lead(32)

This one was kind of a lark, since I'd read others that were more action oriented. I actually really enjoyed it, since it's mainly beautiful boys and fun (though not in any way historically accurate) outfits with lots of strong ladies. Good fun.

I didn't want to like another reincarnation one manga but this one is just so good, with some truly fantastic world-building behind it that I read it all in one night.

Love the lead but all the boys in this one are a little crazy. It's great!

Okay. Okay, so I don't know if I can accurately describe how much I love this. It's just so...wholesome? Or maybe that's not quite right? The relationship progresses, it's just...the rare nice, healthy, wholesome kind of progression. I started reading this because the art was gorgeous but the story really holds up as well. It reads a lot more like a book than it does a series, where the timeline is solid, to the point where there were certain plot points I saw coming- I just still enjoyed them because they were excellent. The villain is a little bit annoying, with that weird mix of shamelessly, but mostly indirect, evil deeds that feel somewhat SAO-esque, and the ending was a bit sappy but overall, solid read that I'll probably come back to.

I remember running into this years ago, when it was only a couple of chapters. Glad I found it again, since it's fantastic. The characters aren't perfect but they're all earnest, in the way that I like, or at least become so. Well worth the read.

One of the better of this style. Nice clear explanations at the beginning, which moves right into playing politics. Excellent.

Super smart, somewhat amoral MC dies and dedicates her life to the person who saved her at the end of her first life after being betrayed by who she was loyal too. Excellent writing, which obviously makes it a tricky translation.

ML is a giant floofy dog half the time and honestly that's all I want.
