Lady Baby

This makes no sense at all. Lippe was acting like a lady when she was a a fuckin baby. Apparently her family are clueless motherfuckers, she literally taught her older brothers how to do math. All the characters are bland and have no personality, everyone just swoons over Lippe for no reason. Like she ain’t even that cute. I’m tired of this baby trope and there are so many unnecessary events. All she does is sing, how about getting revenge for your family during your previous life? You’d think that Lippe would’ve had tons of remorse and grudges but it seems like the author totally forgot about it after writing the arc where Lippe grows up.

Suddenly Became a Princess One Day

The art is like eye-candy and this is the first manwha that I read. I don’t really find the plot interesting but it does have some surprising events. The arc where Athy’s father forgot his memories was a little unexpected. I like how Athy was left to fend for herself and was put under a stressful situation instead of being a privileged and rich little princess. In the recent chapters, Athy has to choose between Ijekiel and Lucas. I feel like Athy has been misleading Ijekiel even though she doesn’t have feelings for him. We all know that Lucas is endgame so that was a little unnecessary. I find it all a little boring and obnoxious. I do empathize with Athy’s sad backstory, I love the tear-inducing and tragic past that Athy had to endure. But the story was all over the place, and it ended up being a happy ending.

Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess

This is certainly one of the better Shoujo manwhas. The art is pretty good too. It has a regular isekai plot but I like how Penelope is treated badly in her noble family instead of growing up as a rich and privileged princess that owns everything. I think that she deserves the title ‘strong female lead’, well I also think that everyone around her are simply assholes but she has survived a great deal of life-threatening events. I also love how the author includes MC’s abusive family and relates it to the noble family in the otome game and how she feels about them. It’s interesting so far, I hope the author doesn’t do anything that fucks it up.

I Raised the Beast Well

Well, this has a slightly different plot compared to other Shoujo manwha. Apparently, FLis the god that the ancient animals worship or some shit. It’s pretty interesting and ML is one of the most powerful ancient animals(?). I find it a little weird that ML is always in cat form, I can’t take him seriously because of it. Our FL is a little.. meh? She doesn’t really have much character or striking personality traits. I think that the art is pretty so I hope that the story impresses me once completed.

The Lady and the Beast

My first thought: Dafuq? Why is ML a wolf? I expected it because of the title but doesn’t the male lead being a furry creep you out? Anyway, this is a little different. We have a strong FL. So far, I like her dominant personality and her skills in swordsmanship. However, her tragic backstory isn’t really sad to me at all. The way the author portrays about how FL lost everything was a little too rushed. She gets harassed by a king and then decides to get revenge by saving the king’s brother and killing the king. Soon after, she gets heartbroken by the king’s brother and dies alone. She reincarnates, LOOKING EXACTLY the same. I find that a little ridiculous. She marries the duke of Atalenta who is cursed to be a wolf. And umm, from what I’ve read so far, the plot is just the FL helping the ML turn back to a human by giving him kisses? FL is a comedic tho, “it’s not getting hard” IM DEAD

Under the Oak Tree

Wow, it’s horrible. There really was no base plot in the beginning. ML comes to take FL from her abusive home and then they make love for the rest of the time… and that’s it. FL is always fucking anxious and whiny but never does anything to improve the situation. At first, I thought that her anxiousness was cute and in someway, relatable. But now it’s fucking obnoxious and in every chapter, she’s complaining or worried about how she’s not good enough for ML. There’s also never enough communication between the two of them and it’s clear that ML really doesn’t understand the trauma that FL went through. There’s no plot and all of the characters are very dull. I hate how there are no conflicts, the servants of the new castle should not be as welcoming as they are to our FL. And now all their relationship problems are ‘resolved’ with smut and unconditional love. And the smut scenes aren’t even good. It’s stupid af. The art is nice, I just wish there was more to the story.

I Raised Cinderella Preciously

It’s not a very impressive story. FL isekai’d into the cinderella and the glass shoe Disney story and now lives as the mother of cinderella. Apparently, their family is broke asf and meets a rich dude on the street and the rich dude falls in love with Mildred. I got bored of the romance quickly as well. The fact that ML and FL met ‘coincidentally’ on the market street sounds ridiculous. It’s a very slow paced and mellow story. There are no conflicts other than the fact that FL is broke as a joke. There are many unnecessary events that were created simply to pad time. Slightly disappointing. I was disheartened by the bad translations and how the pages were out of order at the beginning, however it got better so I hope it won’t affect new readers as it did for me. In recent chapters, the quality of the chapters has also greatly downgraded. Wtf happened?

I've Become A Crow

Not bad so far. The author utilizes perspective really well. I would’ve preferred it if it was reincarnation but it turned out to be an Isekai. The pacing is going at 50mph but not in a bad way? The author manages to create a compelling relationship between the male lead and the female lead in just the span of a few chapters. We’re probably going to have an arc where the male lead gets revenge and then jump right into romance with the female lead. But we’ll have to see as the story goes on, I hope it turns out well. The art is super impressive and the quality is consistent throughout chapters. I was a little hesitant to read this because the idea that the female lead is a crow was very strange to me. But within the first chapter, I was proven wrong. The crow is drawn very well with accurate anatomy. I really like it. I love how the female lead and the male lead grow closer despite her being a crow. I don’t see much depth in the male lead’s personality even though he often mentions his tragic past. I like the female lead so far, but sometimes she just swoons over the male lead and constantly praises him for being so handsome and I can’t understand why she is doing so. Hopefully she doesn’t drool over the male lead like other female protagonists. Cough. Libertia. Cough. Well, I can’t expect much since there are only 6 chapters.. I know it’s unavoidable but I don’t want the female lead to turn into a human. I love their relationship as a ‘master and familiar’. I have high hopes so the author better not fuck it up.

The Lady Wants to Rest

I don’t like the trope where the main character has either lived since the beginning of human society or has reincarnated numerous times. Every time I see a story like this, it’s very poorly executed just like this one. 54 lives is WAAAY too excessive for one person. After living 54 lives, the female lead decides to be ‘lazy’ for the rest of it. Because of this, she has absolutely no ambition which I find boring. Besides, there’s no possible way that you could do ‘nothing’ in your life unless you’re a dumbass. You will experience things no matter how many lives you have lived, it’s inevitable. And realistically, if she actually had lived that many lives, I'm sure she would be suffering from crippling depression. I mean, I can’t even get through one life let alone 54. So this entire manwha was very poorly-written. As expected, she’s good at doing everything no matter the difficulty. I don’t like stories where the main character is good at everything, it makes the story very lack-luster. I predict that it’s probably going to speed into romance with the male lead. It’s unfortunate because the art is very pretty.

The Villainess is a Marionette

Seems like this was dropped? I’m not sure. Over six months without an update. It’s unfortunate. First of all, the art is absolutely radiant, dazzling, and toe-curling. The details are almost remarkable, so I have to praise the artist for that one. The female lead is extremely cunning and I was surprised at how well she played in the role of a princess. She was very manipulative and meticulously planned everything, loved that. The male lead on the other hand, it seems as if he doesn’t know how to express himself. His appearance is a copy and paste of every other male lead in the manwha world. The character designs lack creativity. The storyline lacks tension, it doesn’t really leave me on the edge of my seat despite the multiple conflicts. Initially, I liked the idea of how the female lead isekai’d into this world but it turns out that the author is now stating that she was the original owner that has reincarnated. So that was a bit disappointing. I hope it turns out well and the updates come sooner or I might just read the novel.
