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.

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.

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.

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.

Father, I don't Want this Marriage

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 like this.The story has a really intricate plot and storyline, it’s hard to summarize when there are over 500 chapters in the novel. The characters are absolutely captivating, I’m obviously referring to Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk. Normally, I don’t like it when the main characters have reincarnated numerous times but this is different. The author really shows how Yoo Joonghyuk’s mental health deteriorated throughout his regressions, his character is honestly admirable. I also love Kim Dokja’s character. I was doubtful about him because I was unsure if he would be able to fit into the new supernatural world setting, but he played his character perfectly. There are a collection of unique obstacles that KDJ had to face and I was really rooting for him. But I also like the fact that he lost several battles because it’d be a downside if he won too much. I’m glad that they made YJH overpowered instead of KDJ. I liked how KDJ earned his abilities instead of having everything handed to him. The side characters also play an important role in the story rather than KDJ taking on everything by himself. The art is alright and the fighting scenes are exceptional. I hear people crying and saying that there is angst in this story but I don’t see it, I think it’s more about action. I relate to Kim Dokja as a fellow reader. Us readers get to see the exact feelings, emotions, and thoughts of all the characters in the story. This goes for Kim Dokja too, except he’s actually in the novel. I didn’t mark this as Isekai because it’s more like the novel came into real life, not him transferring into the novel. So that’s really unique and I honestly like the idea more than Isekai. I never knew that I liked the apocalypse-trope so this is a new experience. Overall, very interesting.

I like the idea of a person who isekai’d into the world they created instead of a normal isekai, it’s different and gives a unique twist to the story. However, the plot is dull and there are no real conflicts that happen. There are over 60 chapters and there’s little to no progress between the male lead and the female lead. Instead, the author decided to create another male lead in an attempt to make the story more interesting. The author piles on a bunch of little conflicts that ends up being resolved in no time whilst the female lead doesn’t even achieve anything from those conflicts. The art is so beautiful, but the story disappoints.

Isn’t Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Ongoing | | 2019 released

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 Will Change The Genre

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.
