Sussy Balls's manga / #Strong Female Lead(109)

I really love the FL, but I’m a bit on the fence with the ML.. sometimes he can be sweet but sometimes the author has to draw the creepiest panels of him staring at the FL like he’s straight out of a horror movie. I will say that it seems the FL is trying to change him into a better person who’s a little less psychotic so let’s see where this goes!

Never have I seen so many different plot lines converged into one. We have reincarnation into a novel, super powers, and found family. Despite the ML being a walking red flag and the other characters being pretty one dimensional, the world is intriguing enough for me to continue reading.

really cute and mixes angst and fluff well. I HATE the Fl's mother. Edit: I just reread this and unfortunately I’ve decided to lower to 3 stars. It had a very promising beginning, but this is relatively fast burn, so the main leads’ relationship fell flat real quick because they essentially got together at chapter 10. Honestly, the side couple (Noelle and Arwin) were a more interesting pair. The antagonist also got real annoying quickly— rather than being intimidating or daunting, the stakes felt relatively low because Josephina was just so one dimensionally evil and stupidly reckless. I powered through until chapter 90 before I skimmed through the rest. I know there was a main antagonist besides Josephine that was the mastermind, but I honestly couldn’t be bothered to read the rest. That being said, this manhwa still has more depth than a lot of other ones.

The story is slightly subversive but mostly a typical isekai manhwa. Yet somehow I’m hooked to the story! I think it’s partially due to there actually being high stakes rather than the villainess being a petty heroine. Although there is the typical “perfect” two-faced heroine and annoying one-dimensial sub villains, the story is compelling enough for me to continue reading and rooting for the FL and ML’s happiness.

Wow, that was a roller coaster… This was such an interesting read. Although parts of it were slow and made me almost want to stop reading, the ending trial really grabbed my attention again. The plot twist was also somewhat unexpected and the ending was so satisfying. I wasn’t super into the development of Doha and Yeon’s romance since it just seemed like something that just happened in their youth without any real explanation. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the conflicts and tension they went through in the story. Really solid and I would love to see more stories like this.

It was okay. Interesting concept, but execution was just meh

The more I read this, the more messed up it became. Even though I know Penelope is treating this like a game, I found it rather disturbing how she used Eckle throughout the story and dehumanized him. As psycho as he turned out at the end, he’s 17 and she’s mentally 20-ish, so there’s this implicit power dynamic she’s enforcing on him. Not to mention she just kept him as a slave instead of freeing him?? Yeah, he said he didn’t want to be freed but why did she listen to him.. I just don’t understand why freeing him would not have given her favorability.. She is truly villainous I guess. The plot itself was pretty interesting, especially with how it actually operated as a game rather than real life (which could explain why she treats characters as tools rather than people). The reason why this is 2 stars instead of the usual 3 stars is because the FL is slowly becoming unlikeable because of how hot and cold she treats the characters. She gets upset that people treat her unfairly but doesn’t give the same consideration to others. Rather than kindness, most of her actions feel most beneficial for her survival. While selfishness isn’t a bad thing (especially when you’re stuck in a hard mode otome game), double standards are. Her genuineness often gets lost in her manipulation. I think my final straw was her treatment of Eckles throughout the story.

Dropped :/ After rereading this it actually wasn’t as good as I remember… Super cliché and the FL is so OP for no reason

Skimmed this and immediately got bored and skipped to the end for funzies! The ending turned out to be lackluster as well
