Meridian's manga / #Strong Female Lead(21)

MC gives me Beware of the Villainess vibes. A total badass with a sword and so blunt that there are constant hilarious situations. I loved the development of MC's and ML's relationship, too! The flip from ML being a shy cinnamon roll to nearly a full-blown yandere was also one of the funniest plot twists I've ever seen. The story's even better because the side characters are memorable, their motivations and personalities are all well-developed so they're super memorable/interesting. ★★★★★

Absolutely amazing MC, she's a strong, brute-force her way through everything with high emotional intelligence kind of protagonist and I'm here for it. Also, her relationship with the ML is so enjoyable, I've never seen a more puppy-like male lead. We love to see MC calling out the og MLs for being cringey, toxic, and giving them what they deserve!

I ADORE the MC, who is just learning her actual personality after being basically a fighting doll her entire previous life. Great character continuity throughout, the author gives us a really good understanding of her logic and why she does anything. Also, she's a badass. Like, really cool and makes me fangirl. Aside from that, you never really have to debate who the ML is, only one person really makes sense given her personality and everyone is aware of their position. No one's left super upset or pining over the MC. Well, other than the actual ML.

So so good! All the characters feel so well-developed that I would love to see more of them. MC is so complete as a character, too. She does eventually get powerful but it all starts with her having good battle sense along with being smart and careful. Those and her empathy are what actually set her apart. ML and her also have the most wholesome relationship every, they're the freaking cutest together. 5/5 stars
