somnia's manga / #Reincarnation(194)

I think story-wise this gets worse and worse as time goes on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy MC's character and how tropes (as well as more unique aspects) are tackled, but the way everything's structured gets boring after you get used to it. One issue is tackled, then the next, then the next, with some more important plot nuggets in between. A checklist of things to do and overcome. It was nice when it was applied to MC's family issues (bc it felt like MC was intentionally tackling one thing after the other to help her family), but then you get to broader, more public events outside of MC's control and this rigid structure is still there. Also, I feel like the whole thing about her falling in love and getting engaged was way too rushed. Nvm, literally everything after her "soul unification" felt so meh to me. I was ready to indulge the OP trope for the sake of having a furry-loving MC who has 2 souls, but not like this. I still hope things will heat up when the game protag enters center stage but for now, the plot do be mid.

Our FL is the lost daughter of the villainous Duke of a novel she read in her past life. The typical "I get taken in by/am family with a bunch of psychos who spoil and do everything for me, while I try to live my life in moderate peace (and fail)"-kind of story. I'm typically not the type to be into that niche, but damn the first bit of this is entertaining af. But the fun stops pretty quickly ngl. Idk what happened to the author, but all of the sudden the brothers' beefing with each other became annoying as hell. I just keep thinking there are better and faster ways to deal with this bullshit, and mc doesn't seem to give it much thought. Her decisions and unawareness in general is getting more and more annoying in the lastest chapters- or rather it's the plot itself getting dumber and bending for the sake of making FL look cool. But I still have hope that this'll turn itself around again with the ML waking up and all.

So far it's the typical story about a reincarnated little girl who finds out that she is the villainess of a novel she read a few years before her pre-isekai death. BUT the twist is that FL loves to bake and possesses a pretty interesting power. She's kinda OP, but at the same time also not, since her powers are very slow-burn and subtle most of the time. It's a cute read, a pleasant time waster so far for sure.

It gets you in the first few chapters because of the feels and the tension of FL's life or death situation... aaaaand the story begins to be so desperate about her not commiting or trusting ML that it has to literally make her unconscious multiple times just to keep that artificial angst going. What makes it worse is that the ML having a thing for FL is constantly pulling on everyone's noses, but the girl in question is over here pretending to have Voldemort's facial structure. The translation is all over the place too. The first 10ish chapters are good, then it jumps from ok to [brain cells left the chat] and afterwards back to good again. And before I forget, the plot is mid af. FL has no backbone and basically backseats everything while the other important characters do their thing. Well, she does some things but most of the time it's stuff about trying not to die, or protecting someone from dying no matter how sus they are.

This one is absolutely hilarious. It basically makes fun of and distorts the niche shoujo isekai/time yeeting genre. Our FL is the sister of the tragic main character of a BL fantasy novel. No matter how hard she tries to make her brother avoid his tragedies and avoid his (or her own) deaths, she fails and wakes up to find herself yeeted back in time. After at least 20 time reversals, FL finds a magic sword which basically tells her that if she fullfills the wish of the character she possessed, which is to fullfill her brother Asterion's wish, she'll be able to stop the circle. FL proceeds to have one hell of a time while trying to protect her family and Asterion's happiness. The manwha is more than just self-aware, with the 4th wall being broken every so often and characters openly and obsessively thirsting for ikemen, while trying to find the best ways to bully their enemies in the most effective way possible. 11/10.

RIP author. The story you've written is truely a treat. The art is beautiful too. FL possessed the body of a widowed baroness, a minor character within a novel, and manages to unintentionally seduce the ML of that novel. At first you think it's gonna be like any other shoujo isekai manwha, but honestly, this one manages to stand out with little turns and big twists. All major characters have interesting nooks or defy your expectations entirely, FL herself feels realistic and her decisions and doubts make sense, and she not this epi-center of a power fantasy where she beats her enemies and obstacles in a matter of seconds. Yes, it's a good thing that it's not like that. At the same time it also doesn't feel like she's completely driven up against a corner, (kind of SPOILER>) despite being forced to face an enemy who you could argue is an OP character who's living and breathing the life of a power fantasy protag... aka the not-so innocent princess, aka the og fl. (<) The story finds a good balance between the drama and other lighter business. And the romance and abundance of hot people gives it that extra spice.
