MEIK0TO's manga / #Historical(21)

The anime for this was amazing and made me come searching for the manga. I initially had low expectations but I was astonished when I watched the anime. This is no less than a masterpiece! I will judge it based on what I saw on the anime. The characters are beautifully written and have intricate personality traits. Their endurance, hope, and determination to live despite the situation is truly inspiring. It really makes you feel as if you were apart of a family that is trying to survive during world war 2. The moment that Suzu lost her right hand and Harumi died, it was as if everything was taken away from her. Like her ability to draw, cook rice, and wash clothes. But at the end, the author gives you hope by bringing back a character similar to Harumi and that simplistic action makes the whole story feel complete once again. This one definitely pulled on my heartstrings.

Really boring isekai manwha. The female lead is really bland and stupid. The male lead is really dumb and stubborn. The art is passable but the female lead’s appearance looks so generic, like she’s a Disney princess. Storyline is boring as shit. I don’t know why I expected something better.

Super uninteresting Isekai manwha. I’ll be blunt, I hate Dahlia’s brother. I understand that he grew up in an environment without love but his personality is just not it. Rather, it’s stupid to see him pretending to get pissed off every time Dahlia tries to do something. I know that he actually likes being around Dahlia so can’t he just stop being a douchebag? I like the trope “I hate everyone but you” but not in a case where they are siblings. I think that Dahlia is weak. And she acts like a child even though she was an adult in her previous life. She’s got this weird super power that she was blessed with? I don’t really like when the main character is granted with a power that solves everything instantly. The male lead’s first appearance was quite bleh. They met in a tree… really? So far, the storyline and plot are boring as shit. However, the art is good and appealing so I hope that it will turn out better.

Gosh. The male lead’s personality is beyond horrible, it makes me want to drop this story every time he opens his mouth. The story is extremely lacking in terms of plot. The female lead is strong and just wants to live a normal life with her child but all of a sudden, the male lead comes along and fucks all of that up. I highly doubt that he’ll ever be able to redeem himself. This story is so shit.

A girl isekai’d into a villainess named Juvelian whom stabbed herself in the chest after being told to die in her last moments. Turns out, the father who she thought despised her, actually loved her. It seems as if he doesn’t know how to express himself and he’s incapable of making a proper conversation with his daughter. There are several misunderstandings between the female lead, her father, and the prince (her lover). The lack of communication almost makes this story dislikeable. Fucking hate the prince, isn’t he supposed to be some ruthless mercenary/warlord? Shame he fell in love with Juvelian at first sight. Juvelian who was previously a despicable noble, is now named an ‘angel’ after the protagonist isekai’d into her. Really boring isekai Shoujo manwha. The plot is nothing captivating and the characters are so, so annoying. There is not much happening in terms of conflict, just a bunch of bullshit happening here and there. It’s unfortunate because the art is pretty. Ugh, so disappointing.

I could go on a gigantic rant about how much I hate this story, but I’ll spare you the time. I hate the female lead. The story is dumb and included a whole lot of baseless romance. I got so much second-hand embarrassment and I was just skimming through the chapters without even reading the dialogue. Bullshit plot that I don’t care about. That’s all there is to it.

This is surprisingly exceptional. Although it has a typical plot of a Korean who ended up being a victim to Truck-kun, the main character still manages to serve her purpose as a villainess. In MC’s previous life, she was quite gullible and frankly.. an NPC, so I’m quite glad that she has isekai’d into her new villainess life, as Lady Deborah. The story is already predictable from the get-go: MC will get revenge on her enemies, start new businesses ideas that she stole from the novel, and then fall in love with one of the male leads. But, there are only 20 chapters, I look forward to what the author has in store. I was a bit surprised at the world-building system as there is magic-use among characters (Wizards, mages). It’s rather rudimentary. Like, you can turn energy into a sphere by measuring the circumference of a circle.. So in other words, the use of magic is built around Math. And Deborah happens to excel at Math, because she was an engineering major in her past life. You know, I applaud there being any world-building system at all, even if it’s a lazy one that the author created in two seconds. It’s annoying seeing everything turn up in Deborah’s favor. She IS a bitter villainess with many enemies yet somehow she is able to get everything she wants? It would’ve turned out more interesting if the heroine, Mia Binoche, got the pink diamond instead. I want to SEE Deborah struggling to stay alive and fighting for herself. “The Evil Villainess” is a very diluted term in the Shoujo community. The only one I consider an “Evil Villainess” is Medea from Your Throne. Cunning, powerful, and unmoving. Deborah certainly isn’t that. Whenever Deborah is meeting someone who is defying her, I want them to be scared for their life. Like truly afraid. It’s not enough for her to put up this cold and rude personality. Sometimes I hate isekai because of that, because you can’t make a strong villainess as they’ll just use their knowledge from the novel. It ends up being cliche and results in some dumb romance trope. I’m quite interested in Mia Binoche, the supposed reincarnation of a Saintess, but there seems to be more to her. I think Mia is going to become a problem for Deborah. You know, cause Heroine and Villainess don’t go well together. I tagged this as drama, so I hope the drama won’t disappoint. Lastly, I want to praise the art. It’s important to make intricate and individualistic characters. Deborah’s design is truly beautiful. Red eyes and lavender hair. Hopefully, the translations keep up with the consistency.

I've wasted my time reading 66 chapters.. for nothing. This story is just a mess. I heard that in the novel, the narrative is told from Luca's perspective, yet all I hear is Judith speaking. The characters are insubstantial, Ruediger and Judith’s relationship doesn't have any chemistry. In the novel, Luca is supposed to be the MC, so why is 90% of the story about the distasteful romance between the two main leads? Let me demonstrate a conversation that Judith and Rudiger would have. "Are.. YOU SAYING.. THAT.. you LIKE me?" - Judith "Yes. I respect you, woman. Tell me the type of ideal man you want, I shall transform into him." - Ruediger, Chapter 51 ..This is how they talk, I'm serious. All I see is this back and forth romance sprinkled with many misunderstandings, that ends up going nowhere! Both of their personalities are horrible. Judith is selectively oblivious, whilst Ruediger.. is just oblivious. The author clearly didn't think this through as, politically, Judith would be considered Ruediger's sister-in-law. How ridiculous, the author probably came across this plot-hole and decided to patch it up with Ruediger's ignorance. He said "Would that be a problem?" Yes, you fucking moron, she's your sister and you like her romantically. I seriously spent 3-4 chapters alone reading about Judith and Ruediger's conversation talking about their stupid ass feelings, that ended up not even being resolved. There is an excessive amount of politics that I didn't care for aswell. Story telling: Horrible. Since Judith was a victim of Truck-Kun in her past life, she has all of the knowledge from the novel she isekai'd to (all of what is going to happen to Luca.) So essentially, every event that is going to happen to Luca is foretold by Judith. So when that assassin came out of nowhere and tried to attack them; was I surprised? No! When Isabella tried to frame Luca, when Franz was scheming behind Royton. Was I surprised? No, I was bored. Simply because Judith told us all about it before it even happened. I like a touch of spontaneity in a story. Like plot twists, betrayals, or a shocking turn of events. All I did was yawn and scroll, and probably both during the romance parts. Adding to that, the story itself isn't even interesting! I have a theory that Luca might also be a regressor (I haven't read spoilers). Hence why he is so knowledgeable compared to the original novel where he made many mistakes. And that would be the ONLY reason why I would forgive the author for making a fucking 10 year old a child Albert Einstein. No child is mature enough at that age, he's reading thick chapter books and playing poker! If my theory isn't correct then this story is just poorly-written. Was he really the MC in the novel? At this point, his character only serves to be a third-wheel in Judith and Ruediger's relationship. I might wait for the story to be complete, but so far, I'm not impressed.
