I've Become A Crow

Ongoing | Sylvester ,실베스타,Glee ,글리 | 2000 released

FL was originally a zookeeper and dies cleaning out the area of her fave animals-the predators. When she awakens, she finds out she has been reincarnated into a crow. Not only a crow, but in a fantasy world with ogres and beasts. She ponders the idea of living like a crow, but decides to find some human to make her a pet so she won’t have to struggle for survival. That’s when she stumbles upon the golden haired prince who is a capturable character in an otome game she played in her previous life. Problem is, she played it 3 years prior and couldn’t remember too much of the game. What she did know is that if she left him there, the prince would die because the ogres were just around the corner. So, even though he curses at her, because Crows are the bird of death, she distracts the ogres and saves the prince. Then she gives him healing herbs, and food, and helps him out more, and eventually the prince grows fond of her…as a bird pet. She even gives him the special fruit that she remembers in the game will help him awaken his wolf spirit so he can fight for the throne his brother tried to kill him for. After that, he brings her to the palace as his most precious pet, and she eventually meets more capturable characters…as a crow that cannot communicate. However, when one of those characters gives the prince another kroban fruit, not knowing he’s awakened, the crow instincts take over and she eats it. AND VOILA The crow is now a human and can romance the prince. Except, it’s an otome game, and the true main character is bound to show up eventually. I actually really like this a lot. The story is cute, the main character is silly, and the art can be really good. There are a lot of comedic moments, and some needlessly dramatic moments. I do feel like, at times, the story forgets where it started [i.e. is that brother still cleaning the storage room all these chapters later? Like seriously where did he go?] I like how some of the moments that you’d expect to be dramatic played out. I’m anxious to see how the ML reacts when he finds out what she’s been hiding… 4.8/5 Update: the newer chapters are getting a bit bland. Still worth reading but more of a 4.5/5 now

She's The Older Sister Of The Obsessive Male Lead

Ongoing | Antammi | 2000 released
2023-03-29 20:23 marked

FL is reincarnated into a book that her friend made her read, in which the ML is so obsessed with the other ML that he kills everyone close to him so he can possess him and it ultimately leads to our FL, the obsessive ML sister, and the other ML’s deaths when they try to run away. So, when our FL reincarnates into the world, she decides to try and “tame” her brother…which ultimately just makes him obsessive over her instead.But it turns out the other ML has memories of everything from the previous torturous life, and has a thing for our FL. FL tries to avoid having her brother go crazy, avoid becoming overly invested in being a saint and ignoring her brother and his friend to the point that he goes crazy, and to enjoy her living family while she has them again. However, there is some other religious group that is hellbent on causing some other drama. Also, the person who gave her the book in her modern day world life is also a person she saved in the original novel, so it is highly likely that the originally world wasn’t in a novel, but the novel was written about the original story as a guide for her to avoid. Art is decent, story is pretty cute. I’m not a huge fan of stories that start with someone who is an adult being in a child’s body and liking other children, so that was a bit uncomfortable, but they aged them up relatively quickly. I am a bit worried that the title no longer really suits the story since she’s tamed her brother for the most part. 3.5/5 I'm on a dnf'ing spree, so dropping this because I'm just not even sure what's going on anymore and it isn't worth rereading to find out.

My Ex-Husband Became the Male Lead

Ongoing | Mon swel (mon쉘) | 2019 released

Dropped. Ch 48 wrong comic FL and ML die for some reason in their original world, and are reincarnated inside of a book in which he is the ML and she is just a side character who accidentally burned down an entire village but also does some potion making and magic. ML of the book was infamous for his many relations with women, which sort of pisses FL off because it’s her dead/not so dead husband’s face and probably mind too. But, he has been taking potions with painful side effects to get rid of the overwhelming lust that the ML of the books character has which apparently comes from some imbalance of his magic…I honestly don’t know. He’s horny for some reason and asks for her help to make a medicine to get rid of it without side effects. She won’t show him her face for fear he’ll recognize her. There is some devious shit going on behind the scenes and blah blah blah. Anyways…this story was okay. It was a bit convoluted and jumpy in places and their misunderstandings resolved way more quickly than expected. 4/5

Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Ongoing | | 2019 released

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

The Second Male Lead is Actually a Girl

Ongoing | | 2019 released
2023-01-11 02:33 marked

Main Character knows the story of the world she’s reborn in, but doesn’t realize that she’s a main character. The pretty boy second lead in the story was actually her all along cross-dressing as a boy. Her family had the power of a curse, and apparently necromancy, and she’s super strong to the point she has to wear magic jewelry to suppress her magic on top of her gender. She befriends the grumpy prince and the girl obsessed with the grumpy prince, and while they were close-ish in the game the friendship our FL cultivates goes beyond the game. So, when the real story’s FL shows up, a reincarnated saintess who drops out of the sky into the ML’s arms, the story’s already ruined for her. The ML is in love with our FL (even not knowing she’s a girl), another character who would’ve been after the FL is obsessively being a butler and sexual harasser of our FL, and the villainous obsessive girl is now the princes and our FL’s best friend. And when the saintess shows up, she follows the scripts and it makes the characters feel things as if the story was progressing as it should to the point it disgusts and confuses them. I like the art of this, and the story is interesting. I like how disgusted out characters are of feeling controlled by the story. I’m sure it’s out there somewhere, but it was a new premise for me. I also love that our prince has developed feelings for our FL despite not knowing her gender. That’s genuine love right there. Not so fond of the creepy butler magician and his sexual harassment, but the rest is really good so far. 4.7/5 Last update was Dec 2022

Sigrid

Ongoing | Siya 시야 | 2019 released

Wait for a better translation of 119, and 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

A Way To Protect The Lovable You

Ongoing | Hound,Kim ji-ee,Han Yujeong | 2021 released

Last i read was 130, but the translations were off, so i may wait to see if it gets better translations. FL is the daughter of a Saintess, who abused her since childhood thinking she was the reason her power was waning. The saintess blames her to the public for every misdeeds so that everyone will hate her, kills the prince who was her only friend and then marries her off to his brother who she presumes hates her. Before the marriage the saintess curses her so that she'll feel excruciating pain if she doesn't murder her husband within 6 months. Everyone hates her except for her husband and he ends up dying during a siege from her mother's holy empire. After she dies, she's reborn to just before her husband arrives at the Empire for the wedding. She decides to do all she can to save his life this time around. She rescues the soldier who would have died and be blamed on her, she finds the prince's remains and hides them so that she can return them to her husband, and somehow she gains herself a "wing" (a magical follower of the saintess) because she actually is the real chosen saintess and her mother was only temporary. Her husband and subsequently his party find out about her abused history and that she isn't the vile person her mother rumored her to be, and so no one hates her like before (except the villains of the story). Still, because of the curse she tells the prince to divorce her after 6 months without explaining why, but he's already fallen for her before they even got married. This story is super interesting. I binged through it and caught up top quickly. I want moreeee! The art is pretty, the story is sweet and intriguing. 5/5

I Will Politely Decline the Male Lead!

Ongoing | Yehwon , 예훤,샐러맨 | 2019 released

FL has been reborn several times, and she always gets miserably killed. This time, she’s just going to live how she wants if she’s destined to die anyways. At the academy, she becomes best friends with the girl her fiance abandons and kills her for. She also ignores her fiance as he killed her too many times for her to like him. He gets angry about this, but she just wants him to leave her alone. She learned in one of her lives at the very end that she has an aptitude for magic and memorization, so her grades improve drastically in this life, which gets her accused of cheating. The future head of the magic tower wants to become her partner, but she refuses a lot, but eventually agrees. He originally was also obsessed with the FL that her fiance leaves her for. Then, the knight that she also befriends falls for her, even though he originally like the FL too. The FL also seems to be in love with our FL or something, because she’s jealous about our FL giving attention to others. They’re all on good terms except for fiance prince guy. He’s a jerk, but he eventually tries to figure out why she hates him. The magic tower partner guy is amazing. I like the story so far. The art is okay. 4.7/5

My Husband Is My Choice

Ongoing | | 2022 released
2023-03-05 08:10 marked

FL has lived 3 different lives and is born into the 4th one. In every one, her life is controlled by the emperor in some way shape or form. She’s been forced to marry his son, who eventually becomes abusive and only wants her to have a child so he can finally look sucessful to his father. Pretty sure he kills her. In another life, she runs away with the stoic and honorable knight who loved her father, and they would’ve lived happily but the emperor basically kills them. In another life, she avoids is all, and then her maid kills her. So in this life, she sends the maid away, manipulates the abusive prince into showing how inadequate he is to avoid marrying him, and refuses to marry the knight. Instead, she gets the king to allow her to choose between all his children. She makes a show of meeting them all everyday, all while trying to convince the son who I think is a bastard in some way to become her fiance. He refuses, clearly wary of people after all the abuse he’s suffered from his brothers and neglect from his father. She thinks he’ll be a good fit because it takes him out of the abuse, and also leaves her with the most power to lead the Duchy or whatnot since she is more than capable of doing so alone. The story on this is okay. The art is good. 4.5/5
