Suddenly Became a Princess One Day
P: When I opened my eyes I had become a princess! But out of all characters in this romance novel, why is it the princess who has the fate of dying to her own blood-related dad, the emperor! O: So good. I don't know whether to ship her with Ijekiel or Lucas. The former is nice, but kinda suspicious because his dad (Whitey) is super dodgy/calculative. Also I question Jeanette, she seems genuinely nice, but I can't bring myself to like her. C46 - So sad how Claude forgot about Athanasia after helping her :( It really hurts... Especially how he can't recognise all his efforts to cater and treasure Anasthasia. His reaction when he saw the portrait of him and her. In the past he clearly didn't plan on having a portrait done of himself. It seems that Athy really helped soften Claude. My heart breaks for both Claude and Athy. Blackie is so cute! Omfg didn't expect those blue lotuses to be tentacle monsters x.x So sad how Claude feels pain/uncomfortable whenever he sees/thinks about Athy :( Poor Athy, she didn't do anything to deserve this. C69 OML Lucas is back!! Holy sh*t apparently Claude is dying, and doesn't just have insomnia. I feel like the black Claude is using Jeanette to curse him. C70 OMG Athy is in her 3rd life?! Conjecture:(1st hanged as Athy, 2nd live in modern life and overdose on pills, 3rd reversed time into 1st life again)
Koushaku Reijou no Tashinami
P: CrystalAris: This girl died and ended up in another story as a 'villain' but she's not really villainous she's more lady like and with her knowledge of our modern day society she plans to improve her Fief. O: This is awesome. The art is nice. Sometimes it can get boring, but it's interesting to learn about taxes and stuff. Yuri and Ed and their friends are disgusting af. They're so oblivious and spoilt. Ed literally is shit, he can't argue for his life, so he just screams to try and make up for this incompetency. Yuri is so oblivious, and doesn't consider the harms of what she is doing. I'm glad how Bern changed after seeing what Iris has done for the Azuta conglomerate. The thoughts from the translating team are very fun and relatable to read. I can't believe that Dean is the 1st prince. It's a bit annoying/unsettling that most stuff seems to go well for Iris (she's like a Mary Sue)- she just takes ideas/products from Earth and implements them into this world. How does she even have all this knowledge to do so e.g. making chocolate? She's basically the equivalent of male MC's in fantasy novels. However, after the huge inconvenience with the church, this is no longer the case. It's so satisfying to see the Pope and the 2nd queen Ellia get rekt so hard. The cover doesn't do this manga justice imo.
I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!
P: Violette, a proud and beautiful daughter of a duke, commits a crime out of jealousy towards her half-sister. Convicted, Violet faces her own heart with sincerity in a prison cell and regrets her sin. Then time rewinds to a turning point—to her first meeting with Maryjun one year ago. Violette makes a decision. She will not make mistakes this time. Without committing a crime and bothering anyone, she will live an ordinary, plain and inconspicuous life...! However, incidents contrary to Violette's expectations occur one after another...?! O: Satisfying art. Seems interesting. I can't really bring myself to ship Violette and Claudia together. Yulan x Violette ftw. Seems a bit cliche, but I'm still interested. Violette's father is such a piece of shit, not even bothering to care about his 1st daughter Violette, discriminating against her. Damn Vio looks so fine I wouldn't mind if she was actually a guy... -C11.1 Wait... WHAT Yulan also came back from the past?!?! -C11.2
Houseki no Kuni
P: In the distant future, a new life form called Houseki (gems) are born. The 28 Houseki must fight against the moon dwellers who want to attack them and turn them into decorations, thus each gem is assigned a role such as a fighter or a medic. Though she hopes to fight the moon dwellers, Phos is a gem who is given no assignment until the gems' master Adamantine asks her to edit a natural history magazine. O: This is amazing. So underrated. Started reading this years ago. This is kinda depressing, I feel so bad for Phos. She just wants to help, but the gems with Adamant don't understand. She keeps losing more and more of her original bright self, and seems to be turning into a monster. C78 - :( this is when Phos becomes a monster.. C84 - what has Phos become... C93 - omfg she doesn't even recognise her past self??? TT C94 - wtf is Master really gone?! C95 - WTF WHAT ABOUT PHOS AND THEIR HAPPINESS!!! C98 - omg is this how it all ends.. it feels a bit underwhelming tbh I didn't know what to expect. Ngl I lost interest later, but this was overall a good read.
Horimiya
P: Hori is your average teenage girl... she has a side she wants no one else to ever find about. Then there's her classmate Miyamura, your generic glasses-wearing boy in school and a totally different person outside. When the two meet unexpectedly, they discover each others' secrets and develop an unexpected friendship. O: This is so cute and funny. I wish there was more of a relationship development with Hori and Miyamura, but it's still a nice read. I started reading this ages ago. Not much plot anymore tbh. Was a great read at first, but dragged on for too long...
DICE: the cube that changes everything
P: About a world with dice. You can get dice from doing missions, and use them to increase your stats. It sounds all fun and games, but is actually quite dark and serious. O: I don't particularly like anyone, and I feel like this has been dragged out for too long, but it's a very entertaining read. It's the kind of book that you just eat popcorn and watch the drama unfold in front of you. The ending was eh.... glad to see it finished tho.
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun
P: Sakura Chiyo confesses to her crush, Nozaki-kun, but he mistakes her as a fan! Unable to convey her feelings, what happens when he invites her to his house? Find out in this hilarious series! O: This is absolute gold. I read this a few years ago on another website, but now read it here.
Mousou Telepathy
P: Nakano-san is a high school girl who can look into people's minds. Because of that, she finds out that the mind of the popular Toda-kun is full of wild fantasies about her! O: I started reading this ages ago, but decided to start reading it on here. This is so funny
The Villiainess Is Adored by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom
P: Tiararose was supposed to be disengaged and exiled from the country. “This was the Otome game I had played!” She realized on the day before the story’s ending??……. Shall I wait for the judgment? But, I did not do anything too cruel……. Thinking so, the ending continues. But, during the judgement??something that was not possible in the game happened. The neighboring crown prince courted the villainous daughter Tiararose. O: Again a bit cliche, but none-the-less still a good read. So cute and nice art! The original otome game MC Akira is such a bitch. Is she another person who reincarnated into this world and previously knew about how this was a game? She mentioned once about how things aren't going according to the game. Yeah she is. She fangirled over Aqua in C11, and for a second I thought she was friendly, but NO. She planned on putting Tiara into a coma using lightning power like WTF?! Tiararose doesn't deserve to be called a villainess. It's not her fault that she's protective of her fiancé Hartknight and lectures Akira for her impudence. She didn't do anything especially bad towards Akira in the past to warrant being banished by Hartknight. Thank god Aquasteed came in and saved the day. Aquasteed and Tiararose are so adorable together, it really warms my heart whenever they are around each other :') It's nice to see how Hartknight realised that he erred, but I don't really want to see him again. I especially don't want to see that bitch Akira again, but I KNOW for certain she will come and ruin their relationship. Let her go - Passenger, really suits Hartknight, only realising he loves her after rejecting her -_- Aqua is such a sweet guy ;-; Ok later on Akari wasn't too bad, she cheered Tiara on to win against the sequel's heroine.
