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 so far...the way she's handling the situation she is in...the way she treats her daughters...she is so selfless considering her real age before she was isekai'd which is more than I can say for other MC's who turns into a child although they are old enough to know better....this is the opposite situation where she is a widowed mother of two and one stepdaughter...people mistake her as a young lady in late teens or early twenties cuz she looks young, is so beautiful... translation could be better...haven't caught up yet tho...read some chapters of the novel before in Wattpad and some websites

The Villainess is a Marionette

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.

Liked it... decent story..wished it was more consistent in quality...I saw spoilers in the comments and it's a common plot...love the execution tho ..mc is interesting at times...I question her actions sometimes...the characters are so dumb which makes the mc a genius even though she has some common sense and some wits as well as future knowledge tho that doesn't count as her being a genius as she just have the knowledge of her past life...anyway she is smarter than most MCs so kudos to her...the conflicts are so dumb and exaggerated...she is so so childish at time and petty as well...the latter I don't mind...yeah.. that's it

Untouchable Lady

Ongoing | Kin,Minsoong,Yongdusik | 2021 released

Love how the MC doesn't put up with shit...Violence is the answer and she knows it..Took her nine lives to figure it out but hey she is a slow learner but she learns!! Hate her dad... despise her brother...how is an adopted spoiled brat worth this wonderful being that is the mc...the ml seems to be a good match...mc no longer gives second chances...you fuck up you done...the story is okay..but the frustration building up from other MCs is giving me a newfound appreciation and respect towards her...All hail this Goddess!!

A decent read...she is sick...coughs blood...barely have any strength...mystery ml...she wakes up as an insignificant character in a book she once read...loved by her dad so plus for that...we need more loving family...too much family abuse in this genre...a good read...a few laughs here and there....it doesn't take itself too seriously but serious tones are there at times...inner monologues are funny...

Mc is cardboard or typical MCs...nothing worth writing home about...ml is also bland for me personally...mc is dense, op, and downright stupid unless the plot needs her to have common sense here and there...the story presents her to be this cold and unflinching person who can make tough choices yet it fails in doing that....so fucking boring...the art isn't to my taste...so shiny...sparkles everywhere...flowers blooming in the background...so fucking over this...

A Way To Protect The Lovable You

Ongoing | Hound,Kim ji-ee,Han Yujeong | 2021 released

Another case of an abusive family...her mom is a terrible human being...her brother is worse for just standing still and doing nothing to help her...physical abuse, mental abuse and all sorts of other abuse going on...I couldn't finish it tho as it felt a bit too much? No I've definitely read worse...but it rubs me the wrong way...so no read anymore maybe sometime in the future.. Update : So I picked it up again.. although the lore isn't that heavy or strict.. basically it has a soft magic system..but I don't mind it..it is lighthearted and pleasant to read..although my previous assumption was wrong..turns out mc doesn't have a brother, it was just my memory playing tricks on me..it was one of the wings of Josephina who later became the second wing of Leticia our MC so there's that..one thing I appreciate about this manhwa is that miscommunications and misunderstandings are solved and it doesn't rely only on those two to create tension or drama and anything like that..I like it:)
