apopoi's manga / #Isekai(91)

So simple but such an enjoyable read...mc is not a genius but she has common sense and wits and moral values...she tries to be better...she is normal and not strong like other MCs typically are but so strong in her own way and relatable in her thoughts...the kid is a joy to read...the joke in this story fits me..the ml is a bit dense and has trauma but he also tries..I love that about the characters in this story...the kid remembers his past life...he is so endearing..I love the trio of family tho the kid would be angry at that..love love love this On reaching Ch52, I have to say it has been steady and the pacing of the story is organic and natural. The way the duke loves Sophia, who was originally a maid of Luca's grandma, made me feel some type of way. Like that kind of story for a main couple is so common and is as natural as breathing at this point but seeing it from an outside perspective, man it has a lot of problems. If the second princess conspiracy is right and I think it is, the duke has always loved Sophia so he deliberately forced a marriage between him and Marianne using a contract stating that their marriage would only last till she gives birth to an heir. And knowing Sophia, she wouldn't leave a child of Marrianne's blood in a strange place so she would stay behind, that was the Duke's plan all along. The fact that she dies in the process of giving birth to Jonas seems to be an accident for now. Sophia viewed Marianne like a temple so she treated Jonas better than her own child ie the ML as we can see from the ml's flashback as well as in the manhwa itself. Her treating MC properly cuz of her eye colour and that she reminds her of the princess was also very interesting. A little nitpick of mine is the MC's attitude towards most things, like I thought she would be more careful cuz of the princess' warning but like that didn't affect her at all cuz of her over reliance on the novel and it's contents and also based on her own observation which the latter I think is pretty valid, the duke only cares about Sophia and is indifferent towards everything else including his son. Her like getting over or trying to get over her crush or feelings towards ml endeared me to her and it was an action worth applauding. But now that she is beginning to have hope again and her little gestures or blush when seeing ml makes me a bit angry not gonna lie. I mean that's extremely normal for a girl and a person overall, I mean it's personally not my taste. And I think she is too reckless and a bit of a dunce to not catch unto things quick enough and she is too timid as well, girlie u know u about to end up in trouble why just not refuse that shady man? I wish she would keep Luca's interest as her first priority rather than her own needs, man I hate saying that, but like this is pure foolishness her saying she is Luca's mom and thinking she can be in a relationship with his uncle is just straight up dumb and too idealistic imo. Of course she snaps out of it and thinks of the consequences but she is too flaky.

Love mc..she holds grudges and thinks before she speaks or does something yet is not too robotic..she can be quite emotional as well..I feel for her and some of her family members A quick update...I hate her elder brother the one with the blue hair, gosh he aggravates me..like I know a person like him in the real world..who shuts u down, puts u down, makes excuses, doesn't hear u out, doesn't apologise when proven wrong and all that jazz..I am starting to like the crown prince so much..his dynamic with our MC is so fun to watch and cracks me up..when he told his childhood story but our MC is a bit apathetic to it..he's like ' Why aren't u crying? Every soldier I have told this story to have shed a tear' with that shocked look on his face...PRICELESS!! Also..our MC reason for why she likes him, when being asked persistently by him after her blurting it out when they met cuz he was about to kill her, was his golden hair shining brilliantly under the light of the chandelier reminded her of gold. That was such a genius move..goddamn..his face tho..I actually read it again on 1st kiss website so I could read the comments in that episode..needless to say they were as impressed and found it as hilarious as me:)

Had a few laughs here and there..not my type of read tho..I prefer a more interesting plot..it feels very very predictable

How do I start? I don't like this at all..usually when there is an isekai element to it..you expect there to be a villainess type who faces head to head with a lady who is like a white lotus..acts pitiful.. very merciful...easily gets the love of male leads without any reason.. except she is the one like that..the body she possess is like the typical villainess being misunderstood and actually thinks!!..have a stoic face..I hate the mc..she is so annoying..dumb, clumsy, unnecessarily 'merciful', idealistic..she undoes everything the original girl has done..yet she cries and everything is solved..so many misunderstandings arise cuz of her not wanting to tell others of her plight..she has an illness but she knows how to cure it yet her friends don't know that..so they see her as an angel...blah blah blah

Hmm..This story is very confusing to me...I get what they are trying to do..I wish mc would be more careful around ml..she knows ml to some extent...ml spies on her yet mc thinks what she does is secret..she is smart when the plot needs her to be...other times she just exists

I know I've read it already yet I fail in remembering anything..that tells me everything..I have a pretty decent memory so it proves it did not stand out..so only one star seems plausible

Very very cliche from what I remember..not so consistent storytelling or character development..don't think I'll read it again..not my cup of tea

The most basic story so far...very messy..read 10+ chapters and I already know how everything is going to turn out...very cliche..quite idiotic interpretation of the villainess trope,rushed and pacing was weird, the motivation behind the characters are unclear Read is a strong word..just saw it here and there while my sis was reading it..nothing stood out to me but my sis was oddly interested in this to the point that she attempted to read the novel as well..and I saw heaps of praise from this so it is possible that it had a bad start then got progressively better.

Lottie is my spirit animal...she is so funny and witty...love the gags and parodies in the series...the one piece reference cracked me up as well as her winning the most ridiculous storytelling award for that story she made up..felt like a TV novela...It does not take itself too seriously which I love..The moment mc had the realisation that she is indeed in a living breathing world instead of a novel is done so splendidly(she almost died)...she had been cruising through her life in this world without taking things seriously so that was a great moment...I also love that the story points out the flaw in how the ML(s) fell for og mc when it doesn't make any logical sense..and how it points out the psychology of og mc who believes genuinely she deserves the love of everything and everyone without lifting a finger and trying to be the lead in other people's story..the side ml falling out of love for the og mc is such an iconic moment...I also love the ml...who wouldn't? (If u are tryna reread, start from ch117, that's from Arwin's POV and it's hella entertaining)
