Doctor Elise

Complete | Mini,Yuin | 2000 released

One of the first shoujo manhwas I read, it's a lowkey a classic in my heart, so I may be a bit biased. As the title indicates this is about our FL, Elise and she is a doctor. In more detail though: Elise lived in a fantasy world as a noble lady in her first life, and basically did a lot of bad things for which she was burned at the stake. In her second life she became a surgeon to atone for the life she wasted on misdeads, only to die at a young age and be reborn as Elise again. Anyway, despite FL's lowkey confusing reincarnation thing, she's a solid character. Same goes for everyone else in the story. The ML is on the more brooding, serious side but he is never out to be your stereotypical cold-shoulder emo love interest that FL has to beat and rinse him with affection first or what have you. I also love the whole dynamic between ML's brother (also the second ML) and Elise. But the one thing that's a major turn off for me is that FL is kinda giving subtle to major Mary Sue vibes. She just yeets from one obstacle to another and over time it gets tiring bc you know she'll solve it somehow by using her surgeon skills, even if the issue is only distantly related to her doing doctor things. You can smell, taste and hear how potential plots will be tackled the moment there's a close-up pannel of someone looking sick. Anyway, overall I like this one. It's cute enough to flip through to remind myself of certain plot points, and up to a point it is entertaining, but it's no reread for me.

Miss Not-So Sidekick

Ongoing | Ellianyang,Yumyum | 2000 released

This is something you want to start reading when you just want to have fun. The story is consistent, the characters are mostly consistent, add in your classic isekai shoujo setting, and you'll be fine. But honestly, after MC marries it's like why are we still here? The longer this goes on, the more you think about it. And in turn the jokes become stale.

The Evil Lady's Hero

Ongoing | Lee haron,R.su | 2019 released

Girl gets reincarnated into the body of a villianess and ends up sleeping with the ML. Then ofc they end up in a relationship and fuck man, real couple goals. Subtle smut ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). The setting is also pretty neat, along with the magic system. It's not the typical combo of historical europe + a magic tower slapped atop, like most of these shoujo isekai.
