Meridian's manga / #Fantasy(123)

SUCH a relatable MC, throwing money into the faces of her adversaries and antagonizing the cringey male leads of the og story. The end pairing is to die for, 10/10 for the two of them. Also, it's freaking hilarious nonstop laughter in the art and dialogue. A little slow in the middle but not for long.

First chapters are a little frustrating because of how naive the MC is, but it smooths itself out and gets super cute after the beginning (although annoying it does set up her character well for later). The art is gorgeous and the main relationship is teasing and adorable. Our MC also doesn't wait for anything, if she feels something she acts on it, if she wants it she at least tries her best.

For something that's in the title, she barely uses her phone. It gets some action, a few inventions, but feels massively underplayed in the story compared to what it could be. Also, romance is a subplot that tries to act like more than it is. It's cute but just feels really left in the background. It's more of a historical drama revenge plot, which for that was pretty ok. Not amazing but not terrible. The relationships with the other guys were super cute, it would've been a majorly redeeming aspect if it wasn't only shown in a few chapters.

There's a lot of things to like about this one, the family members are adorable, MC's powers are super interesting and cute, the ending was super satisfying. Even with all that, I can't get over how much I don't like the MC herself. She's presented as having these genius level magic powers that make her incredibly strong, but it rarely comes up until the end. Most of the time she's throwing herself head first into trouble and then crying as a damsel in distress until her family can come save her. For most of the story instead of her helping it would've saved everyone time and trouble if she had just stayed home. Yeah, she's a kid with trauma. That doesn't make it any better to read her shout that she's gonna be helpful for once and end up just sitting somewhere crying.

Adorable relationship between the ML and MC, and without a bunch of extra misunderstandings (though there were a couple) it progressed at a pretty fast pace, which was refreshing. It was just a really feel-good, interesting read. The ending was slightly anticlimactic but I also understand why it happened that way considering this is a zero-angst kind of read. Great for relaxing and enjoying some cuteness!

Honestly super unique compared to a lot of stories with similar settings. The slow switch from his magic personality loving her to his actual personality was sooo satisfying and cute. I don't think I could ever get tired of this couple. The backstory that led up to their love was so complicated that I got a little lost but intriguing all the same, I adored it in the end!

The. Art. Gets. Better. It gets unimaginably better even if it takes a bit. Also, it was just super interesting all around, it was great to see all the surgeries and medical things happening. There's nothing better than a story that actually implements the advantages of previous lives instead of tossing them aside and forgetting about them. It really dragged after the war arc, but mostly redeemed itself by the end. Perfect finale and overall really satisfying read.

Amazing. Beautiful art, story, consistent character, interesting action/plot, antihero MC. One of my favorite reads, although the ending was a bit of a cop out.

Absolutely hysterical. The art was incredible for comedy and I loved the interactions between the MC and ML! Interesting twist at the end that I actually didn't see coming. The only thing was at the point where I felt like some of the chapters were blurring together and probably could've been shortened into a condensed plot, it suddenly ended. It sharply turned into everything resolving itself within a couple of chapters mixed with flashbacks that appeared out of nowhere and made me feel like I was on a trip. I had a terrible time trying to understand those last few chapters and then it was over.

I love the character development and role reversal as they grow into themselves. The abuse at the beginning was hard to read and gave Killing Stalking vibes but watching them both heal from their trauma made it worth it. Also, it was interesting to see the point of view of the abuser and realize that if he hadn't been traumatized himself he could have had a loving relationship with MC. You still hate him and he's a sick bastard but you feel pity for what could have been.
