The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion
This was a really good story, and Noah was extremely funny out of nowhere. The main character wasn't helpless, the plot was mysterious enough to keep my interest, and the love was *chef's kiss*. I want to read more by this author.
Anyone Can Become a Villainess
Main character is a former famous archer who wakes up in the body of Nivea, a candidate to become Saintess, and realizes she is in a book she read and that, if she remains in the temple and also with her horrible fiance Duke she will be used until she dies. So, she starts a fight with the other saintess candidate and makes a run for it. She pawns off her jewelry and asks a stranger for a ride. She thinks he's a knight, but he's really the prince. He's investigating the family her character belongs to. She's gotten him addict to MSG. Funny main character. Pretty art.
The Sacrificial Princess
Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?
Tried reading season 2, ch 46...wait for official/better translation. FL is reincarnated into the villainous of a story as a daughter who has no magic in a family of magicians who is pretty disliked by them all. Apparently she had just been begging for some pink diamond and her father refused, and so her character was on a hunger strike. Anyways, she doesn’t really care about the diamond, and loves the luxury of being in such a rich family. She knows enough to use catnip to tame the information guild head’s pet giant predator cat (not sure that would actually work but it’s funny) and so he becomes pretty interested in her. The original ML still thinks she is obsessed with him and that she is bullying the story’s FL, which she’s of course not. And then she realizes magic is just math equations, which are a piece of cake for a modern day human who studied like hell. So, even though she can’t do the magic, she knows the logistics better than even her father who is the master of the tower. Also, she finds her dead mother’s letters and shares them with her father one by one in order to soften his stone heart to her. This is actually really cute. I quite like it so far. The art is good. Story is good. It’s your typical reincarnate into a story isekai type thing, but that’s my cup of tea when done well. 4.9/5
Say Ah, the Golden Spoon is Entering
FL transmigrates to world inside web novel. The web novel originally had her sister as the FL, but the audience criticized the author for her being too sweet and cliche. They liked the ML princes best friend as the FL instead, so the author suddenly wrote the other girl as the FL and made the sister a villain. Our FL is the heir to her father's company and has been running it forever and is planning to marry her friend/business associate who has confessed to her before and she thinks he's going to propose to her. But turns out that her sister, the evil one who everyone thinks is an angel, manipulated him into proposing to her instead. At first our FL thinks it's just to take something from her, but turns out she can't take over as heir unless she's married. Her father would be just odd enough to force the rule and he's already set up an engagement party for his return since they all thought she would be the one to get engaged. So, she goes to the temple to find a holy knight to be her contractual husband. Anyone would be happy to marry into her family because they're rich enough to get them literally anything. But of course our FL sees our ML, the commander, and realizes if she leaves without marrying him, her father would consider it a failure. So she volunteers at the temple so they won't kick her out and endures the chores and stuff pretending to accept his rejection and search for someone else until he eventually proposes to her. He has a secret though... he is the run away crown prince. The art is okay. The story is pretty funny. I like it! 4.9/5
I Became the Male Lead’s Adopted Daughter
FL is in orphanage, 7 years old, and abused. She has isekai'd into a book she read in her previous life. The ML of that novel is a cold duke of the north. This duke gets annoyed at his friend's incessant bragging about his kids and decides to adopt. But all the kids we scared of him because he has "beasts fangs". Anyway, before he can leave, FL jumps in front of him and demands he take her in. She intends to be a maid or something but he adopts her on the spot and decides to punish the abusive orphanage staff. She is feisty but looks just like him which is determined to be because she is his dead sister's child. She also has the beasts fang. Lots of cute stuff ensues. This is wholly a dad/young daughter webtoon. She does not grown up much, so it's just wholesome. Where I left off, they were at the capital after dad killed lotsa peeps and the emperor was there. She had met the prince(princess?) A few chapters earlier without knowing it was them she was rescuing. At first, I thought I would hate this. In the end, it was very cute and the art grew to be much better. 4.7/5
Cooking Wizard
How was that the ending? No really how? It felt so abrupt with no warning. Did the author or artist just get tired of it? FL is a tattoo artist who is also a food lover. One day, while eating food and reading the last chapter of a book about a prince who has ptsd from being poisoned by his step mom his whole life and loses his sense of taste and also turns villainous, she hears a noise outside. When trying to find the source, she trips on a fairy and falls down the stairs. The fairy uses a dragon scale meant to get her the cure for the princes taste problem to cure fl, but her soul absorbs it and she disappears to the world of the book into a body of a plant magic user who had just died. The fairy stays by her side and she starts a fruit business because fruit is too expensive in this world and she has magic. The prince who has ptsd has a aide who bought fruit from her because all ml eats is fresh fruit and veggies.magic can only be used in this world based on the magic you are born with, and you use jewelry with magic circles in them to use it. Except, FL can't stand this unblemished body being free of her tattoos, and decides to test out if tattooing the circles could let her use other magic types. And she can because the dragon scale gave her special abilities. Soooo she uses those abilities to cook. She makes lunch boxes. She also invites ml and his friends to live with her when she found out they were living outside. She promised the fairy she'd help ml with his eating problem and though they got off to a rocky start, he ate all the delish fruits and veggies. They leave for monster subjugation, and some pretty duke guy sends servant to get lunch box he's been hearing about. This duke is food obsessed. But he usually won't eat the same thing twice. Because she was sold out, the servant kidnaps her off to the duke's mansion and they force her to a cook a huge one for him. He eats it well, gives her jewels, and then forced her to come back daily. She at first is glad to see his reactions, but he keeps trying to commandeer her time and food and she wants to not work for only nobility. She refuses an offer to work at the mansion, he builds her a kitchen. ML and friends come back, and she uses leaving with them as an excuse to ghost the duke. (I have a feeling this will end poorly because now he doesn't like any other food). FL, just before leaving, finally succeeded in getting ml to eat something other than fruits and veggies, mostly cuz he is falling for her. It's just icecream, but it was a cute moment. Now, on the trip, he os to the point where he can ear cooked food if it's the one she was just eating. The encounter a monster, and the shock makes her vomit and he freaks out thinking she has been poisoned. She reassures him that she hasn't been and that she wants to continue on the journey. Then, he gets drunk and asks why she looks at him so affectionately and asks if she is his girlfriend before passing out. This is around where I left off. The art is okay, not 100%. The story is 100%. The FL has more personality than a lot of main characters in other isekai, and her real world experience and personality don't change in the isekai world which is a nice change from other stories. I really enjoyed this story so far. 4.9/5
Queen Cecia's Shorts
Supposed to be some extras but the main story has been completed. FL remembers her past life when she falls off of a statue as a kid. She used to be a worker at a clothing company but didn't get to succeed in being a designer like she wanted. In this life, she ends up running off to a merchant city and proposing her innovative ideas (for the time) to the # 1 merchant monopoly guy, Lester. Lester turns her away because she didn't want to show the guard at the door her idea, and said it made her look like a swindler. The guard at the door is a good guy who takes her in to live with him and his adopted siblings he also took in off the streets. Yuri designs him some pants that night and when Lester sees them he is impressed and asks her to become his designer but sue wants to be a business partner, not a regular employee. To do so, in this historical misogynistic society, she would have to be a male. So she cross dresses and her designs sky rocket and make Lester's store a success. The queen/empress (she is referred to as both sometimes) Cecia conquered the 99 nations and united them and everyone wants her to get married so they can have a man I'm charge but she is more concerned about needing comfortable clothes. Corsets are the height of fashion, and she can't even eat or sleep comfortably. So she sends her adopted brother, the traitor who killed his own father to give her the magical chalice that would force people to bend to her will so she could rule the Nations, Aenon to find a designer to make her a comfy dress. When buying jello, aenon who was buying them all runs into Yuri who charms her way into getting one from him, and he asks if she can refer him a good designer. He doesn't tell Yuri it's for the empress, but still Yuri's design makes the queen want him at the castle. So, Yuri and one of yuri's sisters go to the capital. But Yuri gets into a scandal when one of the assistants faints in the hallway (due to her period pain) and Yuri thinks it is because the corset is too tight and loosens it and when she comes to she thinks Yuri, dressed as a man, has tried to assault her. Yuri tries to get Aenon to help, but he agrees that what Yuri did was wrong. Still, behind the scenes he tries to argue for Yuri to the queen. Yuri decides he can't really rely on Aenon for support, and feels alone. The aide eventually determines that Yuri didn't do it with ill intent and so the queen won't punish Yuri severely, but instead gives Yuri the impossible task of creating a uniform that all the employees would like and for only 1000 monies. The rumors have spread and Yuri is treated like a perv, but still manages to get on everyone's good side. While on a picnic with her sis, her sis runs off and aenon shows up and talks with Yuri and the sudden epiphany occurs after seeing the fine chain that a zipper would make any uniform easier to put on which was all staffs main concern, so aenon introduces the blacksmith who made the chain and the blacksmith makes the zipper for free because he recognizes the knowledge of how to make it is invaluable. The queenis satisfied and makes Yuri a baron or something that forces her to stay in the capital. Lester comes to the capital, and it becomes obvious that he has feelings for Yuri, which she is NOT comfortable with, because although he's given her the opportunities that led to her success, he met her when she was like 10 and he was like 26. Feels so pedo. She avoids it, all while falling for duke aenon and trying to stay on the queens good side. Anyways, Yuri rejects Lester, and he gets distant. Yuri goes on a trip to a region of the south with a princess who is in love with aenon and with aenon, her sis, and the aide who had originally accused Yuri of assault. That aide finds out her gender and becomes like another sis. On a boat ride with some former royal guy the duke aenon hates, that royal guy also figures out the Yuri is a girl and also that the duke likes her. He's been trying to force the princess into marriage, so getting duke aenon out of the way benefits him. So while talking to the two of them about investing in mines and rubber trees, etc, he takes them to a resort. While alone with duke aenon he hints that Yuri is a woman by saying "I don't like northern girls like yuri" or something of the like. Duke wanders off into the jungle to think, and former royal guy tells Yuri he thinks he is lost because he told him her secret or something. And so Yuri chases after him and actually does get lost. When duke comes back to find Yuri gone, he rushes back in and ends up saving her from a river she fell in. He tells her he will give up on his love because she shouldn't have to give up anything for him and she tells him he is stupid and she'll make her own decisions anddd then they are together and sweet and shit. Meanwhile the queen keeps thinking about how she should either marry Yuri or just have Yuri sleep with her until she gets and heir...because she still doesn't know about the fact Yuri is a girl. Anyways, Yuri has to rush back to capital when someone tries stealing business ideas, she settles that buuuuut a natural disaster occurs in the south destroying the mines she invested in. Lester buys her debt but has to force her to be just an employee instead of a partner. She complains to aenon, who offers to pay off the debt because he signed as her guarantor, but she refuses, saying that if she used him as such she would only see her failure every time she looked at him. She wants to marry him on her terms and not use him as a means to run away. He said he doesn't car what she does, he'll be on her side, and will be so happy if what she wants is to marry him someday. Meanwhile, queen is moving forward with her idea of marrying Yuri. Aenon had mentioned once bringing it up to the queen that he was in love with Yuri, but i guess that never happened. Because at the big festival banquet, the queen pull Yuri into a room alone and asks if Yuri wants to marry her. Annnnd that where we are now. The art is really good quality. There was a missing chapter I had to go find elsewhere. Overall I really enjoy this story. I like that they called out how pedo behavior it was that Lester was interested in Yuri, but then it felt like they tried to get us to forgive him for it in the very next scene so I don't know. He literally thinks to himself that he could have kept her locked up all to himself. Fucking weird. Also, I saw a ton of "fuck the queen" comments prior to reading and I can't understand why. The queen seems bad ass to me. Sure she has some bad traits, but she literally isn't the antagonist (yet). I imagine that could be coming when she knows the truth, but honestly she just seems like a woman sick of it all. I also think it's funny how obsessed Yuri is with making tampons and thinking about using the rubber trees to make condoms so she can have non disgusting contraception so she can sleep with her new boyfriend. Lol. Anyways, cute story so far. 4.9/5
I Found a Husband When I Picked Up the Male Lead
FL is isekai'd into a book she was reading as a throwaway character who lives luxuriously beyond her family's means, Izelle. FL's family took out loans to fund her lifestyle and now they're in severe debt. Her father and mother love their daughter to the point of being enablers. The loan shark gives them 2 months to get the money, or he says he'll take our FL. So FL sells all her luxury shit, then sees a flier offering 1 million monies reward for a missing child. The child happens to be the main character of the book, and she knows where to find him. The dump. She finds him, but he is super sick so she takes him home first. He can't remember anything, and bonds with her and her family right away. Then she takes him to the Duke, aka his uncle. But the Duke's been scammed several times with magic tools and so they have a potion they feed to the kids to get rid of any spells to change one's appearance. So, when FL, who is rumored to be a money hungry person in debt, comes and magically has a child that's supposedly the nephew, the Duke is suspicious of her. But the potions fell and broke and another wouldn't be available for a month, so he tells her he won't pay her until he can prove it and demands she leave the boy there.

Anyways, they stay at the mansion and he keeps his butler and servants watching her like a hawk. Blah blah blah, he falls for her, finds out the boys is his nephew, convinces her into a contract marriage, and the sketchy guys servant is stuck as a cat.
