somnia's manga / #Reincarnation(194)

Usual reincarnated gal in the body of a princess that does her best to get by. Hella good art, cute characters, hot daddies, nice. Also some funny and a bunch of cute moments UNTIL the drama hits balls deep. And oh no here comes the drama. It's good and juicy, but my weak ass will have to put this on hold and let the story finish. I won't survive reading the climax of the story in bitesized pieces, man.

Absolutely beautifully illustrated story centering around Shuli, who gets sent back in time after she is killed in her carriage by uknown attackers. Once known as the witch of Neuschwanstein, this time around she is able to take the reigns and avoid the mistakes she made in the past. There's a lot of variety in tone and atmosphere in the story, but it never fails to take itself seriously. Very well paced and overall wonderful writing paired with, again, super gorgeous art, 12/10. I could gush about the different lil hints about future or past events, relationships and situations taking place within the story for hours, not to mention the S-grade character development and this sense that everyone is their own person, and their own story, on one giant chess board.

Meh. The FL is like a leaf in the wind who keeps telling herself she'll get away from all these men and what not, but she ends up just doing whatever and not really thinking about her goals. It's like the author wanted her to be like other fearful reincarnated normies in the skin of the villainess, but they just disregard it in favor of putting FL in situations where her lap dogs can thirst over her. The love interests are also kinda bland so there's barely any appeal to keep reading.
