apopoi's manga / #Isekai(91)

A very typical story it seems. But I like the reason stated in the comments on why the ML didn't love the owner of the fl's body: he just didn't like her. It wasn't miscommunication or misunderstanding. He just didn't have any feelings towards her as far as anything is concerned. Sometimes things are that simple, not everything need some grand reason. Also there is something concerning the ml and his father? I really don't feel like reading this rn..I'm having a burnout from reading typical cliche stories. I might as well just read TCF but I'm planning on binging it and also, I'm currently having the CBSE board exam so it would be bad if I got too invested. Update (6/9/23) : I like this much more than I expected. The fl was a bit more childish than I expected but she is a decent MC nonetheless. Rudrick as a child was sweetness overload, especially him with long hair he looked as pretty as a girl (enough to be the MC's secretary first love). And when it was later revealed that he grew his hair out because his mom would comb his hair for him? Gah! I died. The second ML is so sweet and charming, he is so adorable. I also like that Rudrick didn't change too much though he was certainly traumatized. When he asked for Dahlia in that room and forgot about that handkerchief, I thought the story would go in a completely different direction. Thankfully it didn't. His father is a douchebag, he knew that his wife didn't poison his mistress but slapped her in front of all the servants and punished her to set an example for an 'insider' (he revealed all this to Rudrick). Also I have an issue with how Dahlia's family can be so cold to the plight faced by Rudrick's family. Considering how his family has so many problems, seeing Dahlia's family be so happy should've been so difficult. Her mother being his mom's bestie is so..how to word this? inconsiderate? naive? Like she should have helped her out, maybe she was so caught up in her little family bubble that she couldn't see how her bff was suffering. The way she looked so shocked and cried seeing the state she was in made me mad. I have one more question, at what age did Dahlia die in her past life? She seem to have unrealistic expectation of love. I assume she has never dated?

I get what the writer is trying to do but it just isn't working out for me. It's the same case as 'Beware of the Villainess', they are trying to make the FL be the bad bitch, calls out people's bs etc typa girl but it just gets repetitive since that's all they are. They try to make them relatable but they can still make the MC interesting tho. Can't we just get both instead of one or the other? The MC comes off selfish, entitled and uncaring towards her little brother. They could make her more complex, like her love for him slowly turning into hatred and really digging deep into the complicated emotional distress she is feeling as she keeps resetting for the 23rd time. The manhwa presents it as her trying her best initially then becoming unfeeling or numb over time but imo she never really tried. The first time she possessed this lady, even while knowing the owner of this body's brother is getting raped, she just sits by the sidelines and lets the novel take it's inevitable plot towards her brother committing suicide. Then the other times when she says she is doing her best, she just puts him in her line of sight thinking that everything will be fine. The later timelines, she completely ignores her brother and focuses on her pursuit of magical knowledge. In her 22nd life, as soon as she gets the gist with the sword and what not, you would expect her to spring into action yet she relaxes drinking tea then fires her maid (that poisoned her brother in one of the timeline). She also proceeds to call out her cousin the rapist on his behaviour thereby unhinging him that led to him killing her brother. Like what went in this dumb bitch's head? Like why would u unnerve this motherfucker who has been the cause of your little brother's trauma and expect him to just take it. No! He's going to retaliate and someone as powerless as him isn't going to take it out on you but your powerless brother, the only one beneath him. Man I am so frustrated with this hoe.. It's insane. Btw I read upto ch3 properly then read the first two panels or so of Ch4 then I dropped it. Also them constantly breaking the fourth wall gets on my nerves. This isn't the kind of story where that type of antics is natural, at least set it up for that type of humor. The story has been pretty serious so far so calling out the readers out of the blue isn't a good idea. Also I am left confused thinking if they are actually having this convo or that's just the author being silly.

This is so cliche. It's the typical chosen one with a very loving and protective family type of isekai. The translation ruins the experience for me, and the story isn't even that good to boot. I wish it has a bit more, it's so tropey and in the same vein with every other manhwa. I suspect that 'Who made me a Princess?' started this craze because of its immense popularity. I need to start some other series so I can't waste my time on this. I have finished like 11 chapters so far but I didn't finish the 11th chapter cuz my Wi-Fi didn't support it. I wish the MC would give it a try. I know we got exposition on why she is skeptical about this whole thing but it feels very inorganic in a way. 'The Ordinary Lady' I think..? did a much better job at that. Also we all know who the ML will be, it's that black haired demon child right? I like Oscar.. He's so adorable. I was surprised that they were half-siblings since that wasn't very common. And also the Emperor got remarried so the MC's mom is the one whom he truly loves and the Duchess is one whom he married out of necessity and the mom of Oscar. The Duchess is very strict and orders her bro to be stricter with Oscar as well, he followed what he said. Speaking of that.. I was surprised by the switch up on how he treated the princess and his nephew. I like how protective Mabel got over her big bro, maybe she sees him as a child so that's why. Also another gripe I have with this manhwa is that I can't take it seriously.. It just be saying stuff and there doesn't seem to be any real consequences like I get the whole priest thing cuz of the you know.. Problems it would cause to be at odds with the Holy Land but it just makes the Emperor look like a fraud. Also the priests being corrupt and actually being the 'villain' per se is so tired. Just quit it if you can't commit to it. 'The stepmother's marchen' and 'How to get my husband on my side' does a phenomenal job at this if you wanna see a good execution of that sub-plot. 'Saving my Sweetheart' is also worth a mention.

This is a hot mess. It seems everyone has come to a consensus that this ended on CH6 so I will naturally join in on that camp. It was cliche but it was fun. Everything went downhill after that, the MC is a lot more persistent and resilient than I gave him credit for. I kinda wish he wasn't that naive tho. I thought that the alphas would remain green flags but alas.. If this was the real world, this would fall into the category of love bombing. The fact that this is the creation of his fujoshi sister makes me side eye everything. I don't feel betrayed by this, let's make things clear.. But it's a bit of a shame that the author went this route when the road we've taken until now was already solid.

It's alright. Just not my type. I like Kylo, his character design and his personality but that's where my compliments end. The art style is so typical, and this girl reminds me of like three other MCs from similar stories like this. Why is her hair so long and her dress so flashy? I do like the competition between the black and the white knights but show the other knights as well, will you? There are two others, one with the mage and one with a bunch of talented people. Spencer doesn't seem to like anyone romantically, not Hazel nor the saint.. I hate that the player dude is starting to like the MC. The plotline where the former Duke and late Empress were each other's first love was intriguing.. I love how much the Emperor spoils the MC because of how much she resembles her mom and Spencer's mom suffering because his dad couldn't let go of his first love and married her only because she looked like his first love. I know this whole thing is about otaku culture and seeing her bias but this is just too much. I don't like how she acts around him and of course he misunderstands her since all she does is get lost in her daydream and she just acts without thinking. This fangirl doesn't live in reality. And the whole seeing herself in Kylo therefore her obsession is so tired.. Leave it be!

This feels very all over the place. It's clear as day that Irene still has feelings for Ciel and she knows it, but her new found self respect won't allow her to act on it. Considering the ML did a 180 after his first life. I don't get the God or the system.. I don't know why they gave the fake priestess the ability to go back etc etc.. She gets such a helping hand especially with the phone and all. Ciel gives me mixed feelings.. Obviously he is pining for Irene but the way he does so and his complete lack of tact makes me shake my head. The bonding is the oldest trick in the book. I don't get how people are still confused on who she will end up with. I hate that this somehow feels like a reverse harem almost.. Like the way the younger brother and the physical esper already likes her.. It makes me feel iffy. The crown prince seems pretty bent on the fake priestess tho so that's funny. The ahegao in this is top tier

I like the MC. She's reasonable and has a personality as well. The ML although not having much depth to him outside the stereotypical 'prince who had a horrible childhood' trope is pleasant to read as well. The deal with the grandson of the bookstore, the magical book and the og fl is fascinating to say the least. The Crown Prince's aide/cousin is such an inflexible character that it makes me laugh. He is oddly cute in a way. The third prince is a young boy, the second prince is dumb as hell, the first prince is a slimy motherfucker. There's not much option besides the ml. It's very intriguing that the ML doesn't trust his aide.. I would imagine he's the only one he trusts currently but that isn't the case. The comparison made the MC of the church being akin to a cult rings true to me.

I love love looove this!! Obsessed actually! I love the bear Karlan, I live for his demure self. He's so huggable and comfortable and soft.. All things good. In contrast we have Ilya with her sharp tongue, business acumen and loveliness. I love them together. I hate that the ex fiance resembles my Cale saur much, that I can't hate him fully.. Ugh.. My Cale!! I love Ilya's family.. The daddy being a pudgy man with a deep appreciation for art and getting along so well with Karlan is chef's kiss. The mom is more strict and rigid but I love her temperament. The older brother is of course a siscon, him and his glasses will be the death of me I swear! I don't want to talk about Karlan's family.. I hate his mom, dad and elder brother. Even getting the spoilers that the mom treats him that way because of the brother's intervention doesn't ease the blow one bit. What a horrible human being.. He's a child. Even if you think he stole your jewellery or put a dead bird in your drawers, you should fucking talk to him. U have my boy a complex. He thinks he's ugly! He feels guilty over the most minor things and his insecurities are eating him up.. Ugh I hate them..

It's cute. Love the Emi and Remi thing. The fact that Remi is acting like Emi and that attracts everyone to her makes me feel strange. That's not her true self but I get it. Like Angel is legit in love with Emi. The way she acts perfectly captures Emi to a T. She's doing good in her own way. I feel the way that they portrayed the Star girl was a bit lazy, like sleeping around, only liking jewelry and spending so much on her wardrobe, her being dumb and crazy about men.. Most of it screams misogyny to me especially after reading the spoilers that she was raped and SA'd.

This was a read.. Hmm.. I don't know how to feel about it. I like both the leads, at first I thought Satan was just manipulating Hilda but he actually genuinely likes her. He even quit killing for her! Then girly went and tried to murder that rapist.. I mean the last blow had to be from Satan but bringing a shovel and hitting him to death in his sleep was wild. I also like how she's so calm and almost eerie like in some moments.. When she commended him for poisoning the tea, when she defended him against the inspector and even slapped his cigarette off saying the young master had asthma.. She is to die for! I like duality! I was actually very surprised by how humanlike the ML was.. He cares for his mother, is hurt when she ignores him, is there to meet her.. That attachment shocked me.. He actually thinks of her as his mother. Also he loves gardening.. Flowers, plants..
