The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass

Ongoing | 산소비 | 2019 released

The title 'villainess' is totally earned..there is no irony to that title..she is vengeful, selfish, unapologetic, manipulative and a bit of a seductress as well. So like the title says she reverses time by using the hourglass which appeared before her in her moment of death being used by her step sis..She on the execution hall regretted her actions of malice towards her step sis but turned out she has been dancing on top of her palm for the longest time so in this life she vows to destroy her and everything she cares for..her mom who died under mysterious cause in her lastlife seems to be the doing of Mielle(step-sis)as well, she was a commoner born to a prostitute mother so she is looked down upon by society..she is incredibly beautiful and gorgeous as well taking after her mother so many men vied for her affection..but as later revealed to us by her, she says they only liked her for her looks and did not want anything serious..She has golden hair shining brightly and radiantly in contrast to Mielle's platinum and straight hair, so while MC was in the face kind of beauty, Mielle was more of a subdued beauty it seems like...also ml is not as smart as other ml's in this kind of manhwa but I love that although some comments call him an idiot..I think he is quite smart..also there seems to be some kind of a connection between her and ml in her lastlife as well as now..Oscar the fiancee of Mielle was a target for MC so she tried to steal him by acting pitiful and fragile..I mean it worked and the way they treat her in their household is a testament to it...he falls in love with her but is powerless against his sister who is ml's fiancee and a powerful person who thinks Mielle is an useful tool to accomplish their needs..she also thinks mc has dirty blood..I feel for Oscar truly..mc knows the future so she is able to know the trends of the market and help out with her step-father's business which she later finds out that she was never credited for, she grows angry and doesn't want to provide any more input..also the fact that he keeps trying to match her up with what they presumed to be a merchant who frequents their house angers her..he does it so openly as well so her mom is also not pleased with it...MC is also quite emotional and imperfect which I love..but the fact that she uses the hourglass so recklessly irks me so much even tho she seems to understand it's consequences..that's it for my review

A villainess forced to be a villainess..time seems to be reversed..the true villain will make her a villain. Truthfully after finishing this manhwa because of my persistence, I can say it is a bit below average in terms of storytelling, art, plot, originality, characters and chemistry as well as the magic system. The plot is messy as heck and all over the place. Our MC is actually a God? I guess our author had many ideas she wanted to fulfill in a single manhwa, so many plot holes as well as cringey lines and repetitive and stale interaction. Also about intimacy between characters, I can't feel it, I know they are saying the lines and looking at eachother with longing and lust and desperation and all but the art doesn't showcase it and there is no hint of emotions on their faces. If there wasn't a word right beside it stating their emotional state, I genuinely won't know..like our ml smirks all the time so I didn't even know he was grinning and he always had that blank look in his eyes so I couldn't feel the longing and love he felt for our MC...What I do know is when he is in yandere mode, there are a bit to of a darker background so there's that. Our MC is a huge disappointment..like girly what is up with u for goodness sake..her logic and reasoning skills as well as her boss moments were hard to sit through..but I did it..72 chapters in and it is over!!

Cheerful Countess Sisters

Ongoing | 랍스타,자미신 | 2000 released

Love the sister duo..they are strong in totally different ways..love the variety in their physical appearance..I mean they are half-sisters but I love that the other is the traditional European beauty with pale skin, blonde hair and demure face while the other is more modern with tan skin, nice body, and strong features. A good read..so wholesome;)

I won't call her a strong MC or a pushover either..I didn't read a ton..maybe the first ten chapters or so but I got a decent idea on how it's going to go and I don't like it..A bit of a TMI, I read this a while back with my sis so it is getting a bit mixed up..but our MC and og fl are in a novel which Ginger (MC) discovers by reading a book..so she had no prior knowledge about this fantasy world that they are in..I mean magic and so are like a common occurrence for them so..Anyway the content revolves around the ML who was locked up in a tower (male Rapunzel?) cuz of something and upon release firmly and diplomatically places himself on the Emperor's seat tho it was his by default..the most impressive thing was that he was able to keep the nobles in check and make the peasants satisfied as well..the secret to all that success was..he a mindreader baby..and he gets attracted to og fl as hers is the only mind he cannot read..the secret behind it is the necklace she wears that is a family heirloom I think and to noone's surprise our MC is the villainess!!..so what does our MC do with this information? Well...she decides to steal the necklace ofcourse..she doesn't succeed cuz PLOT!.and also cuz she isn't the sharpest tool in the bunch...I mean that precious information was used for something so trivial and petty..ugh..maybe I should be the villainess..anyway she goes to the party in celebration of the ml and ofcourse she falls head over heels for him..it was kind of a given honestly..and also in the novel it mentioned that she fell for him at first sight so fate or something seems to be at play here...She doesn't have the necklace so her mind is being read and she thinks back to her childhood embarassment that comes from her name 'Ginger' and ml chuckles a bit and she goes red..when dancing time started, ml had to dance with og fl and since MC knows the future via the book..She screams in her mind 'Crown prince I know your secret and....secret revealed ' ya know..then ml goes in search of MC and then I..dropped it
