I Will Become the Hero’s Mother
FL intended to have a long life living the good life and never marrying. But then she has a dream of 20 years in the future in which monsters take over the world. She sees this dream after giving food to an old woman, and so she tracks down that woman who tells her that the only way to save the world is to have the child of the monster duke with a curse on his face. FL, after seeing that gruesome future in which everyone she knew was dead, decides "yep. Imma have his baby." So she steals hers cousins place in marrying him(which the cousin was grateful for because she believes the rumors that the curse can spread). She tries to get him to sleep with her, but her vehemently refuses but treats her nicely otherwise. She schemes and schemes and uncovers a lot about his troubled abused childhood. He doesn't want a kid if it'll have the same curse because he doesn't want it to be treated like him. FL and Butler become friends when duke tried divorcing her after explaining he won't have kids and she refused. FL also uncovered creepy guy dosing maids with a drug that made them pregnant without ever having sex. I just left off where she found two kids who she met in her future dream, the creep kidnapped her and one of the kids alerted the duke, and the duke came to the rescue and announced that he DOES need her. End of season 1. Lol The story is pretty good so far. FL can be reallllly pushy, nearly assault territory, and it's made a joke. Still the dynamic between the leads is good. ML has a weird ass name and is super bland but they explain the blandness a little. I like some of the more comic moments and the idea of her being like "yup 100% believe dream, let's go get pregnant and birth the hero". 4.85/5️
The Villainess Is Shy In Receiving Love
FL, Melody, suddenly has dreams as a child of a girl who lived a poor life hated by others and fell in love with books to cope. That girl read a book called "the duke's 4 children " about a young girl whose the daughter of a duke. It quickly became the girl's favorite book and thus Melodys favorite as well as those dreams gave her more and more info until she realized that it was her past life and she had been reborn as the daughter of a slave trader who tortured that novels FL Larieta after her mom found her on a wrecked carriage with her dead mother. Melody feels so sorry for the FL and starts taking care of her in secret since her mother is super abusive. She knows that when the duke comes to take Larieta away that he will kill her mom and her for abusing his kid. But melody and larieta bond and when her mom finds out who she is she gets happy and greedy but is drunk and injures melody and larieta gets hurt trying to help melody so her mom sends her in the rain to the doc and it's at that time that the duke arrives. The doc offers to raise melody, and melody is happy for larieta but sad she is gone. But she isn't gone and demands that her dad take melody with them. So melody goes to the mansion, determined to protect larieta by preventing the shit that happens to her in the book. She does so well, but then she ends up being the one hurt alot in the end. The duke has 3 other sons. The eldest is a scholar who is jealous of melody since he wants all of his younger sisters love, but he ends up being the one to help her find her birthrate and taking care of her too. Then there is the middle kid who yelled at her and called her a filthy liar and con artist when her first saw her, but is defffff a tsundere. He talks all gruff and doesn't admit his true feelings except when she very obviously misunderstood him. Then there is the youngest, whose story we are just now getting to. He went to the mages tower to abandon the family name. His first memory is of his mom saying she was going to kill him and he has a scar on his forehead from it. She abandoned the family after that to love separately, and apparently had a daughter in that time. But he hates her and thinks he is an evil kid because she wanted to kill him. But Larieta is ill and won't wake andnis stuck in her memories because of the tragedy and an accident and he has to go inside her mind and fix it. Melody holds her hand too, which is apparently dangerous.I left off just when he woke up from being I'm her dream. I didn't quite understand, but it seems like before dying she wished for happiness for all 4 of her children (which included him) so he smiles. This is a pretty cute story. The art is super adorable. The story is pretty good, although for a while it focused so much on the older bro it seemed like middle bro ceased to exist. Middle child problems, amiright? I'll give this one 4.8/5 so far, specifically for cuteness factor
Tyrant's Tranquilizer
FL is isekai'd after complaining about the end of a story where calamity explodes out of the tyrannical emperor's body and destroys the empire. FL is in the body of the younger sister of the OG FL. She is a witch. She knows her Character is destined to die after the emperor forces her into the palace and grows bored of her, so she hides from him in animal form. But he's actually sweet to animals. And her scent calms his calamity brain. Apparently he has a calamity sealed in him and she promises to help break it. Tons of other stuff happens, they fall in love, and some witch is controlling the calamity. I left off where the emperor was convincing some evil count to support his marriage with ring. The art is just OK. The story is great. 4.85/5️
The Villainous Princess Wants to Live in a Cookie House
FL ends up in the body of a girl who is raised poor but is really a princess and has one of the most powerful spirits. The OG girl was evil and did bad things and ended up murdered or something. This time our FL just wants to bake. Even when she was poor she made a journal of sweet recipes she remembered and when at the castle she bakes them. But with her spirit her sweets also make people nicer to her and make it easier for her to read their emotions. There are many characters who she's helped with her sweets. Her cousin guy alexie/alosha who thought his emotions were why his spirit was out of control when it was actually his spirits fault. Karnov, the duke's successor who supposedly has the spirit of death and definitely won them the war between some elves. His spirit is actually the spirit of time and he is the Male lead now. There's also an elf slave that has some broken sword fragment or something who shut down his emotions that she has been force feeding sweets in order to heal him. He wants to be her personal guard. There's a super evil duke, her uncle, who apparently also has this broken fragment in him, that she's made addicted to her sweets. Then there is the OG female lead who became the artist for her bakeries products, who was supposed to be Alexei's fated lover. Many others. Anyhow, she has a bakery now and stuff. Finally saw her parents. Is helping them reconcile with her grandfather's. And now they are back home and like 14 years old. Karnov is super in love with her already and she is super oblivious. She has to give him physical contact to help him get closer to his spirit because that somehow helps her spirit or something. So they're going to practice dancing together. But some other girl is being offered as his marriage partner at the moment, so we'll see how that turns out. Anyways, the story is really good. The art is alright. Better than other but not the best. But I enjoyed reading it so far. 4.8/5️
A Stepmother's Märchen
Also wait for better versions. FL is brought back to life after finally leaving behind the step children who didn't like her. She was sold to a Marquess whose wife had died and he took her in as his wife and trained her on how to run the household so that she could raise the kids and run things when he died until his eldest son could take his place. Mind you, when he dies, she's only 16. The kids hate her and she kept on going in the previous life despite that but then the eldest is about to get married and his fiance told her that he didn't want an embarrassment like her to even attend. She was sad because she was looking forward to it, but after the other kid's nonchalant attitudes when she asked them about it, she left, and she was brutally fucking murdered by what we now know in these later chapters to be the church. When she comes back she makes some small choices that changed how the children interacted with her. Like requesting to see her dead husband alone, because she wakes up again on the funeral day, and crying. The eldest son sees it, and whereas he was jealous of her for stealing his father's attention just before his death and thinks she's heartless like all the rumors say, seeing her broken up changes how he treats her. Other events happen and they're calling her "mom" instead of "fake mom", soon. They have a happy ish childhood. She deals with the power struggle within the family trying to undermine her. She meets another guy who prevents her skeevy brother from beating her in an alleyway, and his father is one of her dead husband's friends whose helped her out. Unfortunately, the conniving ass little prince manipulated his parents into punishing him harshly for something he never did and his dad's been abusive and cruel ever since. Meanwhile, prince is interested in FL and won't leave her alone. Priest ends up putting them in a situation where eldest son thinks prince is gonna assault mom and he punches him. The empress wants to cut off eldest son's arm for it, and prince doesn't object. He's a scheming fuck. Anyways FL figures it out, Empress takes a liking to her, prince leaves her alone for a bit, and thennnn time passes and middle son gets a gambling problem. Prince also got his younger brother into it, without getting involved himself, because skeevy. Meanwhile that other guy has become most likely ML material. ML is no longer enemies with eldest son, and they're close friends now. The two concoct some sort of plan to resolve the gambling issue. Prince trying to get into FL business again, annnnd pretty sure that's where I am at. Some of the flashback stuff was brutal. Kids were pranking her about the wedding and were gonna surprise her and take her themselves and finally call her mom. Eldest nevvvvver said he wanted his mom gone. Fiance decided to say thay herself because eldest said he would keep FL on the house and fiance got jealous that he had emotional connections with her (I think they're strictly familial, but can't tell). Anyways, he stops the wedding until FL can be found, and it is canceled because she's found and she is dead. In the previous life, the now ML met FL as a kid. He saw her on balcony crying. When he became a knight and was tasked with investigating her, he was already kinda in love. Then she died. Sad times. Not to mention that the marquees just before dying locked her into a closet because he suspected her of cheating because of a miscellaneous gift she received. When she got out she found him dead on front of the door. anyways, story is good. Super dark and sad sometimes. super cute and uplifting others. I like the art and the story. 4.9/5
