uotoni's manga / #Strong Female Lead(31)

FL was abandoned by her royal family during a rebellion to act as a distraction and die. However, she lives and becomes a commoner taken in by the owners of an inn. She loves them. However, the boy who she was friends with from the palace grew up and became a rich guy and keeps popping up in the inn. The princess hears about a girl who looks like the missing princess and comes to force her to be a stand in for her missing sister so her parents will give up on finding her actual sister. But she’s the real princess and has the real power they were looking for. She also gets into some sort of bet that lands her the mines of he richest guy in the place and so she uses him instead of taking every bit of his wealth. The childhood friend guy and her are in love, but he has inferiority complex issues. This story isssss…it was promising but now it’s a bit childishly written. Not a lot going on really. The art is okay. 3/5 Decided to drop because I wasn't excited to read it any more.

FL is apparently the bastard daughter that a maid switched with the Duchesses real one. The duchess treats her like shit. One day, after being locked in the attic for tripping during a dance with the prince (her fiance and apparently notoriously evil), her nanny who was the only one who showed her any affection dies. She works hard bitterly to become a daughter that the duchess cannot throw away, being extremely successful in studies, socialization, and business (bringing the duchy success where her father brings it failure). However, the real daughter had been found a while ago, and the maid who raised her died so she finally agreed to stay at the Duchy. And the duchess decides that the name Helga that FL has had all her life and that all her accomplishments are tied to, actually belongs to her legitimate daughter. She concocts a plan to switch their names/places as soon as her daughter can catch up to Helga (an impossible feat for someone who was raised with so much love there was nothing she was desperate for). They also switch the princes fiance so thay the duchess doesn't have to send her actual daughter to him when she takes Helgas name. However, the prince immediately knows. Still, Helga doesn't need his help to scheme a way to leave her family in absolute ruin when she disappears after her engagement ceremony. He isn't aware and did she drives him quite insane. Meanwhile FL sister actually genuinely loves her and wants her to come back and take her rightful place and turns down the duchy head position and joins knights instead. FL goes to far away town and takes over a antique shop and turns it into a magic store. She plans to make it so successful that when she goes back to the capital her family could never compare. Which they can't because her father ran it into the ground. Also the shop owner guy is high key in love with her. Prince found out where she was and he, her sis, and her best friend try and prepare thr capital and duchy for her return. The art is great. Story was great. Super drama. Very wow. Crown Prince is overly possessive. Not a fan. But ah well. Duchess is an idiot. Sister picked up on it quick the second FL left. Dukes an idiot too. I remembered she had magic, but it was weird when all the sudden she had 5 spirits to do the magic with. Anyhow 4.8/5

Reading Official chapters only. FL is princess of emperor and has a bratty Lil bro. Her father is assassinated, Lil bro changes after carriage accident to be a pushover who gave the empires shit away, and when he finally came of age to take the crown, her fiance slaughtered him to take over the empire with his father annnnd the weirdo mage girl. She uses a one wish necklace thing to turn back time to make sure her bro stays bratty and alive. How? By being even brattier ("trashier" if you wanna use her words.). She starts beating her Lil bro, tells of her dad, and concocts a plan to get her engagement dissolved. The overly pretty Dukes son who comes to teach her Lil bro is the perfect scapegoat. She forces him to sign a contract to let her basically fake woo him. Mage is weird and can mind control. She tries to use that to kill emperor and when that fails, to get into palace but FL says nuh_uh. Meanwhile, she burns down a castle that just so happened to be where mage/witch was experimenting. Witch not happy. Her fiance isn't leaving her alone and he may be partly hypnotized. Meanwhile, ML thinks FL is actually falling for him. This art is good, the story is okay. I dislike the idea thay spanking her little bro and causing him genuine terror is used as comedy. It is fucking abuse. Also the sheer amount of abuse of power. Icky. Still the story is entertaining so I think I can move past that. 4.7/5 46 wrong comic

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

Reading official translations only. FL is kicked out of her rich family after her dad and grandpa died, even though she was the one running most of the businesses and keeping it afloat while her grandpa was ill, but she never stood up for herself much and her evil cousins kicked her out. She started working herself and 2 years later after hearing about the downfall of her family she dies after tripping in front of a carriage. She wakes up as a 6 or 7 year old, her dad and grandpa are still alive, and she plans to keep it that way. She finally shows her intelligence and gets into the running for next head of the family. She sends the apprentice doc off to school that she knows will develop the cure for the illness for the disease that killed her dad so she could develop it sooner. She saves the second prince from being poisoned throughout his childhood and uses a favor her grandpa owes her to get the prince to safety. She uses knowledge from the future as well as knowledge of the natural talents of those around her to bring her dad into business success and eventually uses the teacher/aide as her own companies head and amassed tons of wealth investing and mining diamonds. She even works on getting ties to the information network. The 1st prince is trash. Her one cousin and his uncle are trash. One of the uncle in laws is trash. And the emperor is also pretty trash. Empress is the villain mostly, as is her family who are enemies of FL family. Second prince is 100 % obsessed with his savior, FL. But she doesn't realize it for some reason. Emperor tried getting her tied to the 1st prince, but now wants her to get with ML 2nd prince because they're closer and he thinks 2nd prince likes the power behind her fam and not her. Also empress tried killing 2nd prince all the time growing up and still harrasses him. FL has lots of cousins. Right now story is right after her debutante. Prince is probs sneaking off to the academy. I like the story so far. Didn't expect them to be kids for 110+ chapters and counting. Still, it's pretty cute. 4.8/5

FL was a knight who only lived for money. She joined the black knights and didn't flinch when her colleagues died, nor did she refuse to assassinate members of the royal family she was supposed to protect. The commander of the black knight is a dick and made her assassinate a prince just to kill her right after throwing the money she was owed on her dead body. Then she woke up as a knight trainee again but with a magic mark that the dragon god thing bestowed on those who needed it at difficult times in the kingdoms history. Hers is a time stigma, and it doesn't do anything now, but she has to hide it because only royals usually get them and they are usually viewed as a bad thing. Anyways she decides to be a red knight this time and not live for money and kill people nonchalantly. She starts making friends and preventing their deaths, even befriending the red knight commander who falls for her pretty instantly. He so cute. Black knight commander is evil af and manipulating 1st prince into becoming emperor. Lotsa stuff happens. A shit ton. There was a dragon slaying, drugs the exploded people, nearly freezing to death, etc. Right now, they are fighting a monster mob and FL rides off to fight alone. Also princess with foresight saw something urgent and left palace hiding spot with boyfriend knight commander guy. Anyways, art is great. Story is great, if not action heavy and dramatic as hell. I really like their romance. 4.85/5

Think it just completed? FL and her sister were nobles whose parents were killed by the tyrant emperor for a petty reason. FL joined a temple and trained her body until her sister came back to her 10 years later and asked her to help overthrow the tyrant. They took.ovet the empire and FLs sister is now the empress. FL had promised God that of they let them win then she would send her first child to the temple, and her sister made her duke of the north so she also needs a 2nd child for an heir. There a 2 more duke's: one who lost his eye to FL (Rubealla FL name) and the other is the intelligence agency leader and crazy maniac who wants to marry her sister because he thinks he deserves the highest place. Lost eye guy injured Ruby when they were at war to pay her back for his eye, but now he apparently is in love with her and mad as fuck because empress won't let him even confess and FL is oblivious to romantic matters. Ruby goes to social events hunting for a husband, but everyone thinks she is a monster duchess and rumors that she eats children and shit are keeping people from approaching her. When they killed the tyrant, they killed all his descendents, even small babies and illegitimate kiddos, but suddenly one illegitimate child appeared. And he is beautiful. Ruby tries to avoid him at first but has to step in when she sees some blue haired bitch sexually harassing him and saying that he had to marry her. After ruby is done chasing her off, he proposes that they get married. He says a contract marriage of 3 years, he would stay faithful and would not fall in love with her. Ruby was suspicious at first since he mentioned her vow to.god that no one knew about. Turns out ML rui/Louie has died 7 times and is trying to save his own skin in this life. First he locked himself away in the tower for academics where you abandon your family name and when that was destroyed he proposed to our FL, the monster duke and empresses sister. FL accepts and tell him he has to help her produce 2 kids, which he didn't know was part of the vow to god. When he didn't meet her to agree, she went to his family's estate to find them holding him hostage to have the blue haired bitch fuck him. FL burst in and saves the day, and when they get back to the mansion they sign the contract and have sexy times. Louie is obsessed with shooting reincarnation and romance stories and starts trying to become the most excellent spouse so that Bea (his nickname for ruby) won't leave him after 3 years. The other duke who likes Ruby and some resistance people trash the wedding and though the empress approved the marriage she refused to show up or let the other duke's show up so a rumor could spread that they were on bad terms so they could let the resistance grow and cut them off all at once. Right now, ML is obsessed with investing in things he knows from the future and they keep fucking up. First it was 2 artists, then he bought some cloth and monopolized it, and now he's after a designer who ended up being an abused 15 year old girl. Meanwhile blue haired chick won't back down. Also FL thinks one of ML's classmates is actually his lover and that he'll leave with her after 3 years. Both of the 2 leads currently have fallen for each other and don't know the other feels the same. Super cliche, but fun in the reverse. The art in this webtoon is pretty good. The story is excellent. Gotta love a role reversal done well. Love the strong ass FL so cool even the women swoon, and our cinnamon roll ML who loves romance novels and wedding planning and being a good wife. I like the cliches sticking around even with the role reversal. It makes for a great comedy. 4.9/5️

Dropping... there havent been official translations for some time and its not worth it really. Reading official translations only. FL=Kalia ML=Simon FL was a street urchin living in an alley before she saved the kid if a Duke, ML. Kalia then was taken in by Simon's family, treated like a servant, and trained like a knight. She became the strongest knight, a commander in the war, and fought alongside Simon who became like her best friend/sibling. Simon's been obviously in love with her, but like most "strong female leads" she is oblivious to matters of love and never noticed. She and Simon have a one night stand, after she rips some weird love scroll and 2 months later she finds out she is pregnant. She's immediately ecstatic, knows she wants to quit work and retire, and take it easy to raise her kid. She has always wanted a family of her own. Simon hates kids and his family is so toxic FL doesn't think she should tell him. This is only made more evident when she asked if, now that he was considering marriage, if he's changed his mind about kids and he says he would absolutely never change his mind about them. She doesn't tell him because she is sure she'd kill him if he said to abort. So she and the king make an agreement that she will leave on a "long vacation" but if Simon finds her then she has to come back to the capital. She doesn't tell him about the baby either,but makes him keep it a secret that she is leaving until she has already left. She leaves a letter for Simon saying she's leaving and will come back eventually. Then she, a doctor, and her adorable squire girl head off in a carriage and begin using transport scrolls to disappear across the empire. She comes across some faeries that she can see, supposedly thanks to her baby, and she befriends them. But when she sees a shady foreign prince guy, she immediately reports it to her replacement and tell him to tell Simon, who has since found out she's left and went on a wild rampage destroying her house, thay she is in that city so he'll investigate. She then teleports away several places. Apparently, this foreign prince is stealing fairies, taking their hearts and putting them in beasts and making chimera. Anyhow Kalia gets to final city and pretends to be frail pregnant lady on the run from her abusive/cheater husband and the townspeople love her. But one day, during a festival a few kids go missing and she and her squire go to save them. The find some chimera wolf creatures, defeat them, and then run into Gaia, a cute fairie woman. Gaia brings her father, the king of the fairies, to help Kalia. Kalia had found the kids who had a dragons egg and Gaia makes him help her but then protects her when he gets all brutelike. Obviously she is the mom of FL but we don't find that out until.the baby has been born. Gaia and fairy King make some pact on a bracelet and say she must call when the baby is coming. Squire and doctor take the dragon egg to the local lords castle and magicians are called to give it mana to save it. And one of those megicians isssss Simon of course. They get locked up by the local lord who has slits for pupils sometimes, and when he attacks them when possessed by some shadow creature they are saved by Simon. Simon immediately recognizes the squire and demands to know where Kalia is. Kalia is, at the time, having contractions at her house wondering where the doc is. Squire girl, who knows Kalia is a bit dumb about love, questions the duke about his intentions towards Kalia, and when she's certain he loves her and won't hurt her, she tells him where Kalia is. Then he finds her, brings her back to the castle of local lord, and the labor starts. Something feels wrong and she calls for the fairies with the bracelet. Gaia sacrifices most of her power and the fairy King also gives some of his to replace the broken part of the fairy stone heart thing because surpriseeee her baby is part fairy and so is she. Once baby is had, fairy King blesses baby. Simon asks for an explanation, but he's all loving to her now where he wasn't before and she is confused af. He's all over her and seems fine with, if not in love with, the baby which throws her off. She tries to lie and say it isn't his, but there is no denying the baby is his. So, she stops lying about it. Meanwhile, weird foreign prince is sad his shadow guy didn't get the dragon egg but excited to learn about FL's part fairy baby that the fairy King was present for. I left off when the fairy King and his family came to visit the baby with gifts. Anywho, the art is pretty good. The story kept my interest although it too 50+ chapters just to have the fucking baby. Still the story is pretty good. 4.8/5️ corrected rating 4/5️ and dropped

A creature called a shadow typically has to eat things right after they die. So one was waiting for someone to fall off the cliffs edge when a woman does indeed fall, terribly injured. But the shadow is surprised when she doesn't get scared of it. That interesting woman asks the creature to help her, but since she's beyond saving she tells it that it can eat her but to just please protect the white comander blah blah title aka the 2nd prince. Intrigued by this woman, the shadow does something it knows inherently that it isn't supposed to do, and makes the vow and devours her while she is still alive. This means that it can no longer shift into its other shadow forms and will live and die in that body. Most shadows can transform into any creature they've devoured if they've waited for it to die. Anyways the person the shadow took over is Roselyn, a knight who abandoned her family who supported the 1st prince in order to become a knight for the 2nd prince. She apparently had feelings for him. And so this shadow Roselyn, who lost her memories from Roselyns life, is found and returned to her family home. Her brother, Callix, who cares for his sister immensely, comes to figure out that she isn't his actual sister from watching her closely, but when the shadow innocently tells him about the vow made to his sister as she was dying, he promises to help the shadow achieve what his now most likely dead forever sister had wanted. RoselynCallie, a bit...inept...at literally everything, learning from mimicking others and being taught social decency, etiquette and manners by her brother and friend. But then she goes back to work and is officially promoted by the 2nd prince, who looks at her with total disdain. She was always a great knight, but not the strongest, but with the shadow's strength she is an absolute monster. So when some bullies pick on her and ask her to spar, she does, and she kicks his ass but then innocently carries him to the infirmary. After seeing that, and realizing that her weird behavior might cause more issues if left to her own devices, the commander assigns her to immediately protect the prince. And her first day on the job, she detects and stops a would be assassin from killing him. However, she jumps on his desk and shows all sorts of impropriety in front of the prince and behaves in such a peculiar manner that even when impressed everyone can't help but shake their heads. Roselyn determines that the poison is the same one that was on the weapons during the previous attack that killed the og roselyn, a poison which even divine power could not heal. Everyone was stumped as to why, but roselyn is just like "wouldn’t that mean it's made with dark magic since it cancels out divine power?" Why yes, yes it would. But the 1st prince uses that revelation to send the 2nd prince on a mission to another country that is surely behind it (he would know because he's teamed up with that countries prince to try and murder 2nd prince, and he refuses to send extra troops effectively making it a suicide mission. Meanwhile, Roselyns personality change and childlike ignorance gets to be our comedic relief, like when she jumps through the princes window instead of using the door or requesting an audience, or when she brings her bully a gift at the infirmary, or when she eats 6 million times the meat and desserts a normal person would, or her sneak attacks on her squires to train them...just lotsa little funny moments. Anyways they leave on the mission, 2nd prince is still pretty wary of Roselyn, who originally was his sister's knight but failed to protect her and is also from a family he despises for supporting his malicious brother. But he keeps watching her, as her weird behaviors are sort of entertaining. She runs into another shadow creature like herself stuck in a hunting trap, and rescues it and it later comes back and hears her story and decides to stay by her side and protect her and she calls it...Macaroon. So, Macaroon becomes an eagle to chill with them while they journey and a mouse to explore the castle when they get to foreign country. Foreign country prince flirts with our totally oblivious FL and gets interested in her. Meanwhile, she is only interested in meat, dessert, protecting the 2nd prince, and the fact that there is dark magic literally all over the kingdom. Apparently they are part of some black moon religion that worships the dark god and not the light one that everyone else does and there is something called the shadowless night that everyone is trying to recreate or something. I dunno. Anyway, this religious group uses "fragments" to make poison and also inserts the fragments into their knights to make them monstrously strong. However, our shadow FL is way stronger. Macaroon gives FL a fragment it found while spying as a mouse and FL also overhears the 5th prince scheming with the Balkan prince on the 1st prince's behalf and relays that very useful info to the 2nd prince. He cannot deny her talents even if she's a bit strange. He starts getting fond of her. Anyways, with that, they safely finish their excursion and head back to the kingdom, fully aware there will probs be an assassination attempt while journeying back. The Balkan prince sends a bunch of op fragment knights to capture the 2nd prince, he wants the divine power, but FL overpowers them and is poisoned and so sacrifices herself to let them get the prince out of there. But without needing to hide her powers, she massacres the remaining troops before catching up to the prince. Rumors circulate that she is a Magus, which isn't true, buy her father confirms it to quell worse rumors from coming out. While she recovers, Balkan prince realizes what she must be to have massacred his knights, and 2nd prince kinda already knew something was up from the second her strength had changed and she took down that first assassin but he confirms that he knows with her brother. He also now has a major crush on FL, obvious to everyone but the FL. Brother vows to be his knight and serve him from his position in the red wagon wheel family. Meanwhile FL father calls her an it and a thing and THAT and yet is won over by her. I left off right as he was giving her the family ring back. Anywho, the art is really good, the story is pretty good. Love the comedy of an oblivious lead character. It is a tiny bit weird how the ML falls for her when she's acting like a literal child but whatever. It's still cute enough. Overall 4.85/5️

If you see anything translated by "endmanga" just close it and wait for a different translation. Its unbearable. FL was the most dedicated strait-laced and obedient knight to the Emperor, but still ends up executed for no reason. So, when she’s reincarnated, she wonders why she has to live that way again. She could save those knights who were friendly to her when she knew that they were going to die, and she could actually buy a house instead of living in the most measly apartment money could buy, and she could wear…gasp…a dress or even new clothes in general. But because she didn’t do any of that in her previous life, she’s totally inept. Art is okay, story is okay. I like it so far. It’s got some comedic moments. 4.8/5
