The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass
Love love love this one!! all time classic!!! best in field otome isekai, truly a standout, my gold standard for the genre! that said i don't really like the Epilogue much orz. if it was a little shorter maybe it'd be better? I find Bliss REALLY annoying and right now i sorta... wish she would disappear lmao. I'm just not interested in kids! it's nice seeing Aria and Asher after the main plot but it's not even a REAL timeskip to when they're actually parents, so i'm not seeing a different side of them or anything. it feels... a bit contrived for me.
They Say I Was Born a King's Daughter
I'm trying to catch up with this one but it sure is painfully long isn't it... long way to go still before I'm up to date :/ Jinsu give me strength TwT
When the Villainess Loves
I really REALLY loved this one. the art is on another level gorgeous the character designs are out of the world the mc is extremely likeable and relatable but... nnnnhhhgghhh. Alas I had to drop it. See the thing is eventually they introduce the TRUE male lead (and they make it clear he is different from the other guys) and I just! do not like him. he isn't as good as the other guys we met up til that point. and it JUST kills this webtoon for me. romance isn't enjoyable if you don't like both partners and I just felt he was such a disappointment compared the guy i was rooting for (the knight).
The Young Lady is A Royal Chef
edit: you know what i need to mention this here, the beginning of this one fucking sucks. the original Senianna was in so much pain and was never once loved or treated kindly. and everyone blames her for it. they talk about the original like she was weak, like she deserved it, Lance literally calls her an "Egomaniac" who "Lashed out at everyone until nobody was left beside her" like fucking excuse me? she was depressed because she was being abused, she didn't lash out, she tried to kill herself. None of you selfish assholes were on her side to begin with. nobody ever tried to help her. it's all so victim blaming and it makes me feel so irrationally upset. i feel bad for the original Senianna. my heart aches for her. https://bato.to/chapter/1577323 thats not to say this entire thing is complete trash. i'll be honest you just sorta have to white knuckle through all this shit, but the family is so fucking cute later. they never still never apologize though. and uuhhh god i don't remember the plot point properly but... theres a whole thing later with the magic and the portals and the mcs teacher from back in Korea and like... the mc was the original and got replaced and that replacement was the one who was treated badly so it's all cool and justified or... fucking something it's been a long time since i read the chaps. i'll update this when i get there lmao. i still think what i said about the begining stands because even if thats all true you don't know that first read (and clearly i still dont know on the reread) so like... I still feel like it's to victim blaming about the whole thing. regardless of magic shenanigans I really like this series, I feel like the plot of progressing quickly enough that it never gets boring. I will say the new magic developments are... while not entirely out of place super unexpected? I thought this was going to be primarily about cooking and now there's this whole magic portal business. I'm excited to spent more time with the Prince (whom I presume must be the ML?). I feel like we still don't know him that well. im sad the artists changed... the original one was super unique and really stood out. the new artists is REALLY good don't gte me wrong, but it doesn't have the smame creative spark you know? anyway... i'm caught up with chapter (85~) and boy howdy! i hope Lily explodes i hate this bitch tch. also I miss Sienna's family it's been such a logn time since we spent time with her brothers... orz
Please Throw Me Away
Hexion my beloved <3<3<3 Wish the author would stop trying to write her family as sympathetic, I won't even feel sorry for those bastards as long as I live xoxo
