Sugar ❀'s manga / #strong female lead(72)

P: Leslie’s life was always used for the betterment of her sister, Eli. After a failed attempt by her family (Sperado) to extract the dark magic within Leslie to transfer to Eli, Leslie knocks on the door of the monster Duchess and pleads for the Duchess to adopt her?! O: SO AMAZING!! Honestly so funny and cute. The Salvatore family and Leslie are so adorable, they're all amazing. So unfortunate how Leslie had to endure a hard childhood and as a result had to mature, and can't easily behave as a child... Really feel for her. So good how she met this new family though. Ahhh this really soothes me. I really hate the Sperado family, such selfish peps. Every time I see this manhwa update I'm quite happy ^^ Bruh this translation is so sht... Dropped around the part where Leslie was volunteering for the church for this competition ~C70. Can't be bothered to reread this. I really liked this at first, but it got boring later on and the translation quality was bad. In hindsight characters and plot were pretty shallow. 5-->3

P: Shuri at age 16, becomes the wife of a marquess. However, not for long, and the marquess dies, leaving her to deal with the four children: Jeremy (blonde), Elias (red), Rachel and Leon. They don't like her, and torment her. They are on bad terms with her. 7 years later, when she tries attending Jeremy's wedding, despite being told not to come, she runs into an accident (gets attacked by bandits) and dies. She ends up reincarnating to 7 years ago, just after the marquess dies and has a funeral. She decides to change her mindset and her actions. As a result, the children are more understanding and appreciative of her, and build a better relationship than before. Jeremy softens after witnessing her mourning Johanne (husband), Elias and Rachel soften after she confronts and banishes Valentino and Lucretia from stepping into the household. She learned from her mistakes from her past life. O: It's so sad how the children didn't appreciate/understand Shuri in her past life. It's nice to see them warm up to her in this second life, due to her changes from personal experience. For example Jeremy protecting Shuri and reprimanding the others is heartwarming to see. It's a shame that people judge her harshly. She's doing her best! I find it a bit weird how she is literally only 2 years older than the eldest son. I find it such a shame that Lucretia was a bitch. I was hoping she was actually a nice person, but no. Very interested for more. Shuli (Shuri) is so wholesome ;-; Low-key ship Jeremy and the crown prince in C27. C59 - fuck the cardinal guy - that POS.

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)

P: When I opened my eyes I had become the duchess. But something isn’t right. I went as far as becoming a character but I’m just a duchess in name that gets mistreated by the maids and ignored by her husband. What a crappy life! Gosh, I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ll just quietly enjoy my tea, was what I thought. “Can you prepare tea for me again next time?” Something’s gone wrong with my cold husband! O: This is very interesting! It's so disgusting to see how they previously treated Chloe. But tbh the orig Chloe wasn't good - timid af and doesn't take the blame for her mistakes. C31 Damn, Alphonse's past was saddening. The body proportions are kinda bothering me - Chloe's torso is way too skinny. Again I don't really like this Mary Sue bs... f/102

P: Who wouldn't be upset if they had a boss who treated them cruelly and unfairly? That is the life of Eom Boran, Henzel Company secretary under the leadership of Kwon Sehu. Unable to forget, Boran decided to vent her frustration by writing children's picture books. In the book, Boran drew Mr. Kwon, 'Huse', as a child who likes to bully his friends. Boran thought Mr. Kwon would never find out about the book, but fate said something else. What will happen to Boran? Can Boran hide the truth about the book from Mr. Kwon? O: This is so cute and funny. It's interesting how Harry (Mr Kwon) likes Viola (Boran) more openly after she celebrated his sister's birthday (Will's (Woobin's) mum) Viola looks so gorgeous at work. It's nice to see Harry being really considerate of Viola and respecting her wishes. I like their relationship development!

P: KyoZaNa✿: She woke up in a coffin, in body of Lin Han who’s forced to disguise as male by mom, which caused her tragic loving Prince An Ding who turned him(her) down and also accidentally caused her drown to death..!? How she’ll deal with this ancient weird life! O: It's good, but not 5 stars. So much shit is going on. Idk who to ship tbh. Shen Qiu cares for Han, but I can't fully bring myself to like him. An Ding is hot, but, I don't think he likes her, he's just curious as to what relationship she has to do with the West Turks. Only after he mentally turned into a 6 year old he displays love towards her. It is cute but kinda bothers me... This happened for way too long. Han looks amazing as a female. I wonder what the red-haired guard has to do w/ the West Turks... Can't believe Han's mum was such a schemer, like damn. So funny how she shipped An Ding and Shen Qiu together xD Probably going to put on hold.. I don't find myself that interested atm. F/ c89

P: The day I lost my boyfriend to my best friend, I fell into the Han River by mistake. And when I woke up, I became a famous duke's daughter named Chartiana Altizer Cailon - who's known as the villain!? "I've already chosen my empress, and you're just pawn." "I will be the empress of the Empire." My fate was also determined the moment I was appointed as the next empress candidate by Regina. Regina has two candidates, Irene, who is the lover of the Crown Prince and me, Chartiana. To protect my beloved family from the court's evil schemes, I cannot help but become the evil villain and win the position of Empress. To be happy with the people I love, I became the antagonist. O: This is amazing. Obviously there are plotholes e.g. Satiana (Chartiana) not bringing the emergency bracelet on her trip intentionally even though the West isn't totally safe, how Satiana didn't suspect the 2 short-haired ladies in waiting to be spies (even though it's very obvious that they're insignificant background characters). It's awesome to see Satiana kick Irene's ass. Lol, good thing she isn't that smart. It's nice to see the crown prince's (Leofred) gradual change of attitude towards her. It's interesting how he blushed sometimes when he was with her, e.g. when they met each other in the library. Does he actually secretly like her? I think I remember him asking Kayledin about his experience at the party. I wonder if Kayledin (Cailedin) is in love with her? So many questions. Love the MC. She's sick. She clearly can stand up for herself and scheme, and she's also smart and beautiful. Didn't expect Leofred to be so... forward in C82. C84-86 were very interesting, how we could see Leofred's perspective and thoughts. 5 --> 4 Kinda lost interest later, partially because of the shit translation quality.

P: Reinhardt: Raeliana knew she was going to die young the second time after being transferred to another world (novel world). Now she is trying to escape from her own death by getting involved with the Duke who is a scheming person. She provides informations from original novel and make a deal with the Duke. A thrilling love story between side character and actual male protagonist in the novel?? O: This is very intriguing. I like the slow love development between Noal and Raeliana. Seems a bit odd how the red-haired girl was brushed off. So funny how the pope considers himself the grandfather of Raeliana. He looks nice as an adult. Nice art. I wonder what's the deal with Beatrice (blonde). What is she planning? Why was she seen with the red-haired lady? I like Noah x Raeliana, but I also don't mind too much Justin x Raeliana, although it most likely won't be a thing. OH SHIT Beatrice is probably another transmigrator, wanting things to go along to the original plot line. Or Beatrice could be the previous Raeliana... Raeliana is truly a strong female lead! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ She seriously OWNS that title. C108 Raeliana confesses to Noah about how she was from another world. I love how Raeliana takes charge, she never fails to impress me. Raeliana and Noah have such an awesome relationship. C141 - I can't believe how Raeliana just shot Beatrice just because the black mage said that it was fated that either one of them would die. What a badass. C155 - fk... my heart hurts for Justin ;-; Ahhhh can't believe this has finally finished... it's been a long ride!

P: Song Ji Hyeon is a surgeon, as well as a genius doctor appointed as the youngest lecturer at Seoul University. She carries memories of a previous life as Elise De Clorence who lived as a wicked woman. Suddenly an unexpected accident occurs and when she wakes up, she's back in her previous life?! Will Elise be able to correct her past mistakes?" O: This is pretty good. Omfg the emperor (Linden's dad) is such a big shit. He doesn't think that Elise will amount to anything if she becomes a doctor, and is basically forcing her to be with Linden. It's a bit annoying how Elise keeps questioning Linden's actions as he didn't like her in his past life. Obviously, she doesn't realise that it's because she has changed so much from her past self. Ofc he's going to act differently towards her. Who would like a self-absorbed arrogant prick? OMG can I talk about how hot Linden is, like DAMN he's ripped. So funny how tons of people saved his pics. I don't quite like the artstyle, but sometimes it is nice. C137 - WTF DID HE JUMP OFF?! I didn't like him but wtf...

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.
