uotoni's manga / #Shoujo(1288)

FL is isekai'd after her gambling addict brother shoves her and she falls down the stairs. She ends up in a story she was reading as a villainess character. Her character is forced to marry the sub male lead for some political reason, and their families hate each other. She decides she can live well of she just avoids doing the bad things to the OG FL, who is being raised by her new husband's family and is the love interest of both her husband and his brother and loved by pretty much everyone but her original family. Our FL was abused by her family and used like a pawn in their political schemes which earned her a bad reputation. Due to her bad reputation and the author of the story forcing events to take place even though our FL didn't instigate them (i.e. poisoning, missing docs, poisoning part 2) and also due to the brother's initial prejudice against her due to her family, FL's life is lonely and she's always suspected. Her husband is in love with the other girl, and even though she likes him she doesn't wanna fall into the trope of loving him and doing things out of jealousy. Somehow her actions win her the favor of some side characters and eventually even her husband, and now he's sorta obsessed and in love with her and they share some happy moments. But the author had 3 stipulations in place she had to follow and 3 exceptions to meet in order to make the world stop following the og storyline so she can be happy (and not die at her husband's hand). First, she slept with him. 2nd, she refused requests from him 10 times in a row. And now there is a 3rd, and the 3rd rule is that if she dies everything would reset to the original story again. Anyways, author guy is pissed she met stipulations and is trying to manipulate the main characters he still has control over to get our FL killed to reset the story. The last I read she was in a boating accident most likely caused by ML's older brother or even the OG FL. Both are suspicious AF. And our ML is suspicious of them now, finally. This is a really good story so far. Art is great. Some of the translations were a bit clunky, and the names change with every translator which is a bit confusing. Overall, though, 4.85/5️

Reading official translations only. FL is kid abused by father who is using her as a test subject for experiments for contamination elixirs. Her mom died suspiciously after being in a contaminated area. During the torture, she goes, in her head, to some library and reads the story that she is in. She is not a main character. Aria (FL) is supposed to die from the experiments or something. In the library she meets another kid who can read all the books and give her data. They're friends now. That kids name is Pi (after 3.14159~). FL decided after reading story and remembering another life in modern day world where she apparently first read the book, that her dad's "love" wasn't love and to try and get away. When her gpa comes to accuse her dad of murdering her mom, she convinces him to take her back with him. Eventually he, his son (her uncle), and all the staff grow to love her immediately and regret not checking on her sooner after discovering the torture she had been through. They protect her from her dad. Her mom was an elementalist and she could be too. The dad remarries, the "mom" tricks family into letting her stay with them and then kidnaps FL. She's part of some Black Crown thing (sorcerers who worship the devil or something). She was gonna Sacrafice FL, but FL awakens elementalist abilities even though it could kill her, but Pie becomes her guide and help her translate aggro elementals words and he feels bad that she's only 12 and let's her survive. Then her mom's elemental comes and protects her in the mountain until help can come. They kill the stepmother. Her cousin silver haired guy is a brat that calls her skull. But he grows to like her. She also meets a knight called Veronica or Nica, who is like a prodigy. She decides to build them up as a group to take down the main labyrinth causing all the monsters and contamination and evil thay even ML in novel could not defeat. In the novel ML, Axel, dies trying to defeat Labyrinth and discovers ability to go back in time, which he does over and over to try again and again, but it was always a power given to him by the devil an the more he used it the closer he became to being the perfect vessel for the devil. FL decides to "raise" him to be more ready for the Labyrinth without the incessant abuse, but does still leave him alone by himself and send him on impossible missions thay injure him . She does all this by taking over an organization and using a pseudonym to hide her identity. But since this "adrian" was the only person giving ML purpose, he became obsessed. So, when she betrays him like his original master did in the story and "tries to kill him" he lets it happen because he has too much faith in her plans as Adrian. So, she abandons him, considers him "ruined" and builds a team without him. But he is gone for 3 years all the while obsessing over Adrian and why he was abandoned. He comes back at her debutante ball under suspicions she could be the Adrian he met once. She ignores him. Oh whoops forgot, she found evidence finally that her dad murdered her mom, and revealed it at big party at duke's manor at the debutante and he gets beheaded. Yay. Back to Axel. He lacks empathy, is obsessive, and volatile. He stalks FL trying to get into missions with her to verify she is Adrian. He follows her to one where this shitty priest fucks them all over by being arrogant, and he comes in and demands to know why she abandoned him. And, upon realizing she replaced him, he attacked all of her team leaving them fatally wounded. She tells him to fuck off and she doesn't need someone like him who can't work with others and kills innocent people (he chucked the priest to his death). After that, he follows her when she goes to find other priest who disappeared, and after lots of back and forth she tells him the only way she would accept him is if he apologized to her whole team and all the people of hers that he had belittled. He does, and also helps defeat big baddie in the town where priest guy is. Priest guys joins them, the others forgive him one by one. Pie is against it, and suggests she send him to his death or leave him. Pie also has swapped genders back and forth, preferring to be a man but being a woman to get up close and cuddly with FL. Pie seems to be in love with FL. Axel is learning how to be "everything Aria could possibly need". Anywho, I left off somewhere around there. Art is OK. Not fantastic but not bad. Story is pretty compelling, though like others I agree FL was frustrating for putting ML through shit just to scrap everything and throw him away. Like, why follow the plot? Still I like it so far. 4.8/5️
