uotoni's manga / #royalty(440)

Lowered the rating because a parental like figure is now the love interest. I hate that. FL's mom died after giving birth to her, and she's been living alone in an abandoned run down castle alone ish ever since. Her mom was a certain race who exists on memory alone. Also their race dies if they have a child with any other race. So, somehow, when she died, the woman and her child were forgotten completely. That child is the emperor's youngest daughter. She lived like a wild animal, with a snake, cat, and dragon for friends. Also, a winter spirit had watched over her all along. She was blessed with jewel eyes that allow her to see the colors of people's emotions and also see the future to some extent such as black splotches on someone's arm when they are about to be injured there. There are 3 other jewel eye types and those kids were all used and abused for their abilities. When the emperor's other kids stumble upon her, as does a knight, the emperor approaches her and feels immediate fondness for her and knows she is his daughter. She, like a stray cat, does not warm up quickly to him or anyone else. Right now, I am at the end of season 2 where her demon friend joins her as she leaves/is kidnapped by the moon god who wants to destroy all of humanity. Okay now we've time jumped. And I'm really reallllllly worried that all these hints are that the spirit who raised her, literally from infancy, is the love interest. I hope not. But they are hinting at it. Spoiler alert: he is. I hate it. So tempted to drop it. This story is cute and wholesome for the most part. I like how the author did not make her immediately trust her family and still has her dealing with the struggles of relying on others due to her childhood trauma. The art is only okay. Still, I found myself looking forward to more chapters so 4.8/5 ️

Wait for "better quality" chapters FL is a 23 year old girl whose family lived for her brothers and ignored her. She lives vicariously through the main character of a novel about being adopted into a villain family that and being loved by all. FL I'd isekai'd but not as the main character. Instead, she is the unfortunate side character who gets kicked out of the villain family for being a fraud and being a lizard beast. However, her being adorable gets the dad interested in her. He usually plays with people until he loses interest, so she tolerates it when he says she is his daughter. She plans to tolerate it, take the money and run to a nice orphanage. But then she reveals and uses some of the knowledge she knows from the book which makes him really like her. Then the real main character shows up, our FL's maid frames her for a theft scheme, she transforms into a lizard, and gets her tail stomped off by the crowd. Then she somehow ends up at the orphanage in lizard form and a boy makes her his pet. She just brought that boy to his parents who were looking for him all along. She also came across another male lead who is supposed to be a head priest in the future, but is Loco and calls her master and says he is her dog. Oh yeah, other boy is the magic tower head in future. Anyhow, daddy guy is going mad looking for her and Richard boy won't let her leave his side. The story is cute, art it decent. I like this so far. 4.8/5️

This is the one where the FL was friends with a goddess who loved a villain and is punishing FL for her own failed love by taking over her body and making her a stranger to prove her own lover won't recognize her. FL is is isekai'd into the body of the sister of the FL of a novel and the child wife of the cursed child prince. Her father hated that she was from a specific family so he abused her and then sent her to marry the prince in place of his more favored daughter. FL actually liked the prince character and wants to help prevent his trauma l, but according to the novel it's her sister who breaks the curse. In fact, in the novel, the day she woke up in the body of the wife was the day that character died, which was supposed to cause super trauma to ML. Anyways she and sis get along, the emperorngrows to like her, ML loves her but she treats him like a child (which makes her "love" for him a bit weird IMO). Turns out that FL was the one with the light power to cure prince but it passed on to her sister when she died hence the novel. Also turns out she is a reincarnation of some former girl who was friends with the goddess of Light. Goddess of light gave her powers to fucked up prince who used them to kill that girls husband because he was in love with her. Goddess knew all along that he was in love with other girl but kept letting him keep girl hostage and keep her power because she thought he'd love her one day. Eventually she took power back but then that evil guy locks her away, stabs her, burns her, and sacrifices a city's worth of people to try and get the power to kill her. The curse the ML had on his body was a remnant of her pleas for salvation and a message of that man's wrong doings. Except the emperor kept killing all his kids when they got it until the messages no longer implicated him and manipulated everyone to believe that the girls dead husband had been alive and the Goddess cursed the lands because of him and blab blah. Anyways, FL goes inside cursed door and saves the Goddess but the Goddess wants to kill the ML, but FL offers herself up instead. The Goddess puts her in her burned body, with no ability to speak or write, and sends her 7 years in the future with only 100 days to live whilst coughing up blood etc. ML finds her and though he was unsure at first he recognizes her as his wife. Goddess still doesn't get that he recognized her and didn't forget her, but also FL overhears that there are plans in the works to marry ML to her sister as was supposed to be the original works plans? Or maybe Richard was ML in the novel (piece of shit guy). They can barely keep the story straight themselves.anywho, that's about where I am now. She's back at the castle about to go see the emperor in the goddesses burned body and prince is positive she's actually his wife. The art is just okay, the story was cute but also sometimes off-putting. I love isekai stories, and I even don't mind when an adult is in the mind of a child, but to have that being pointed out the her husband is literally a child and way younger than her and stuff, only for her to claim to love him like a wife would, definitely feels weird and groomer like. I think author-nim must've realized that, hence the 7 year shift in time to age them all up, but even still, doesn't change the fact Boi wad super groomed. I dunno. It was not terrible and I'll keep reading. So maybe 4.5/5️

Completed 4.8/5

FL is put into the body of the villainess by the demon king with one task-have a happy marriage with the one the original body's owner loved. Except, she only has a limited amount of time...and stamina...and health in general. Walking more than a certain amount of steps per day will cause her to vomit blood and collapse. Yet, she has a mission. I really like the concept of this comic. The premise is hilarious. I do find it weird that she feels that the previous girl would have felt in that moment, when you consider that the body is quite literally dead...I like the chemistry between the leads. So far so good. Completed 4.6/5️

FL is considered cursed according to her father. He abused her growing up and then when she finally found a semi nice guy his caveat to ML to marry her was to never treat her kindly. So he neglects her. They have a kid. She's so afraid of the "curse" she supposedly has that.when the baby cries when she tries to touch him she would not try again. So the ML takes the baby away and FL is left alone by herself and dies of Tuberculosis alone while ML marries the woman he was originally engaged to. Apparently son went crazy and joined bad guys and somehow time turned back to when FL was about to have their child. So she decides to do everything for him this time around. ML also remembers the past and wants to treat her better amd avoid their sons fate, but he also knows he doesn't deserve shit and so doesn't push it. Anyways, the story was sort of clunky from the get go, the art is okay but I am 60+ chapters in and really not enjoying it anymore. So yeah. This will be a DNF so I can find something I enjoy. I'll give it a 3/5 ️because I'm sure it is someone else's cup of tea. Disappointed because the cover looked promising.

When the Duke is supposedly killed in war, he is named a traitor by the empire and his title and vacation home thing were the only things left. The servants were kicked out or killed and same for the knights. FLs sister, the count's legit child, was engaged to the duke before he went off to war because she liked his face (he signed off on it without even knowing or caring what she looked like). But when he is believed dead and a traitor, her family decides to send FL to that abandoned villa instead if their legitimate daughter. She goes happily to get out of the abusive household. The villa is run down, but she finds a way that makes it work until one day a bloodied, near dead man bangs on the door. It's the Duke, alive but barely, and so she nurses him back to health. While he's recovering they bond and he grows to like her. She's very very autism-coded IMO, and doesn't really see him or anyone as more than a friend. After he recovers, she helps him get into the capital and castle so he can reveal evidence that he is not a traitor and what truly happened (the empress tried to have him killed because she didn't think he deserved that much power). FL plans to disappear, because she thinks he'll discover that he was fooled with illegitimate daughter instead of her sister, and thinks he'll hate her and take in her sis instead. Her sister, kidnapped her from the party, strip the duke's mothers dress off of her, has a knight dislocated her shoulder, and then has them tie her up and send her to do manual labor on their family's estate. All so she can get with the Duke and also get that pretty dress...because she is delulu. Duke's old knight comes to see him and doesn't understand why he'd want illegitimate girl, but his persistence and telling her if she didn't want FL as duchess she could leave the duchy, she helped him. He rescues her, and takes her to the Duchy mansion to recover. The servants are wary of her at first, but quickly fall in love with her. When Duke leaves to find rumored dragon, noble knights return to the duchy, and immediately refuse to greet FL properly. So the servants punish them for weeks. Which they think is on the orders of FL, but she is oblivious. She makes them juice after they had been starved and the old commander guy asks what mind games she's trying to play which is how they realized she was not behind the servants actions. Then some memorial ceremony for the dead knights happens and it rains, which is a bad omen, but FL covers Graves with her body, earning even old knight guys respect. Anyways they all like her not. ML couldn't find the dragon, so he comes back and suddenly random bad luck keeps happening to FL. At first he just fussed over her, but then her realized it's more than bad luck and thinks she is cursed. So, when they get invited back to the capital, the go because a fortune teller is supposed to be there. Fortune teller is there and wants FLs face for some reason? Idk. But he tells them in a rush that the bad luck is happening because they are together. To get it to stop they have to separate. But then they split up and ML finds out from prince that the empress has been poisoning the emperor all this time and is going to try and kill him soon. Then ML and FL run into fortune teller again (btw he's a dragon and barely hides it), and he says if they continue to stay together FL will die. That some time.magoc happened or something and ML was supposed to die that day he was betrayed and never meet FL and FL was supposed to die alone in the run down villa, but now the magic is trying to set things right by killing her. Which only gets proven further when the dragon ML had been trying to find comes straight to the capital, and also then empress tried to have FL killed too. Even after they thought dragon was subdued, it escaped and went straight for FL, proving to ML that she will truly die if he stays close. The other dragon guy helps save FL and makes a deal to "borrow her face", and her knight person awakens swordmaster status to protect her and kills the knight the empress sends to kill her. The empress then tried to have FL arrested saying she tried killing the empress. But Duke and crown prince reveal she has been poisoning the emperor and bring awake emperor out in. A wheelchair and she knows she lost. Then, when everything settle, FL goes to talk to ML and he ignores her. When they go back to the mansion he locks himself in the office and won't talk to her. She even tried sleeping in front of his office to catch him when he leaves but no luck. And that's where I left off. At first I didn't get the FL's personality. She's quite expressionless and deadpan. Then I realized she has a bit of the tism characteristics and I related to her more. I think the art is okay. The story is pretty good. Translations were shoddy toward the last few chapters I read, and there was an entire chapter just missing. Altogether though 4.95/5️
