apopoi's manga / #strong female lead(142)

Well isn't this the most stinking adorable shit ever!?! I like everyone, I wish the dad would be more honest but he's a tsundere so I get it. I like all the brothers too. I like the mom but I wish she was more present. I was pleasantly surprised by her having an actual responsibility rather than just a title. I like that they are so in love. I wish the MC trusted the mage a bit more since she loves her so much. I like the shadow/secretary man too. I like his ruthless and gentle side. I like that the MC's past life ties in with this life.. Like the fact that she had a chronic illness so that's why she is so eerily calm about death and wants to treasure each moment spent with her family. How she gives importance to little things and finds joy in it, like running without feeling pain etc.

I like it. I like the subject it deals with. PTSD from war. I like the MC, she is akin to a pacifier and she seems to have a good head on her shoulder though she can be dense. She knows something is amiss but chooses to ignore it since she can't do anything about it. The deal with Halt, the Emperor's lover having a strong divine power, the deal with the eighth batallion and the spells used for their 'training' etc. I like that the ML hasn't completely lost it. I feel like we can delve into the whole PTSD thing a lot deeper but I digress. I just knew there was something fishy about that man and viola there he is with that second prince talking about some sketchy thing. I hope we can get to the bottom of this as soon as possible. Also CH 26&27 are the same.. Please fix it.

This was a nice change. I get what they were going for with the art style but I feel like it hinders the reading experience. Especially the MC why does she look so awkward.. It's the hairstyle, the dress she wears, the colors and her body proportions. Like it's so weird.. She is one powerful being. So essentially she is like an omnipotent being, it's nice that this isn't inside a novel or reincarnation for a change. Her soul is split into two, one in modern Korea as someone who can see the future and the other in this world where she's a mage. She feels responsible for the people in this world because their suffering is a product of a novel she wrote on a whim. Her friend is very irresponsible but I don't blame her, I'm sure she's happy with her hubby and her new daughter. The three princes and the competition for the throne per usual is filled with drama engulfing the whole empire into their mess. Why does the Emperor favor the First Prince so much? Is he the only biological child of the woman he loves? Did she pass away? The third Prince's illegitimate child and Claude look so alike I started questioning everything but it's just the art style. Too many blondes. The curse is also interesting. The MC is a lot more emotional than I expected when I first read this. I thought she would be more cold, mature, wise and be like more put together. The ML is a nice choice. I was genuinely surprised that he had manners and didn't have a scowl on his face. Of course that's because she's a mage and her reputation but nevertheless. Her position in the Mage Tower is also very high. Out of her disciples, the green haired one is my fav..the other two are so so. It reminded me of 'Charlotte and the Five Disciples', how they are so dependent on their Master. I guess that's it for now.

I would rate this a 2.5 if I could. I know that the MC is a demon but I had a shocked Pikachu face when he acted like one. I wish he didn't kill Campbell, I was very fond of him. I keep forgetting the body he possess is a girl as well. The translation can be better but it's still understandable. Edwin is such an annoying brat and he's only the son of a Baron. The pedophile fat Priest made me uncomfortable everytime he was on screen and the fact that even while knowing his true nature, he still gets protected.. Ugh ew.. The corruption in the Church. I know it's a real thing as well especially towards boys so it was too real for me. Wait.. Does that mean the MC killed all the commoners, the Baron, the knight, Edwin, the Baroness, Campbell and all the servants and maids? Wow talk about being ruthless.. The maids looked out for him so much too. That's actually so unfortunate. Currently at Ch20.

This is saurr good. I love how the MC can stay so strong in such an impossibly hard situation. One thing I'll commend this on is the realistic way that the princess is strong, it's not in the realm of absurdity but in the way her situation allows her to. She practices the things she hears people say when she's sure everyone is asleep.. She can't speak clearly and has trouble constructing sentences. She doesn't have any manners since she wasn't taught, her hands shake when trying to use cutlaries to eat her food since she uses her bare hands. She tiptoes around everyone. She doesn't have common sense and doesn't get embarrassed when she's naked or talking about consummating their marriage. The tyrant is also an interesting case, it seems the incident a few or so years ago made him the way he is. Of course the incident is shrouded in mystery and only the king and the princess and that one guy knows about it. The ML is a green forest. I love how he doesn't take out his anger on the princess and how responsible he is, how patient he is and the way he is so gentle towards her. He also told his mother right away when he found out about his father cheating on her. About the couple, the father is a brute who has no political sense and neglects his duties so the ML has to shoulder everything himself. Not to mention how he cheats on his wife and made his knight(?) take in his mistress as his second wife so he can meet her regularly. Their marriage had always been purely business but after the ML's younger sister died, they became estranged. About the younger sister Rosie, it seems she's the reason why the Mother is so taken with the princess. She's seeing Rosie in the princess since they have the same coloured eyes and since Rosie died as a child, the princess' behavior mirrors that so she feels protective over her. I hate the two maids to the core, can't they die already?

This is actually really cute. So many things happening all at once but it's not overwhelming.. At least for me. I like the MC's attitude and I like how instantly the ML is taken with her. I love how straightforward this is, it gets to the point and doesn't beat around the bush. So many things happening already at just twenty chapters. It's interesting the way Rian view his twin Riarte. I do think the way the Duke blames only Riarte is irrational and not nuanced enough, since they are twins. Like why blame only one of them if you are so keen on blaming someone in the first place? Just because she wasn't awakened. The thing with her being the reincarnator of the first head was unexpected. The way the Spirit King kept on calling Rian a fake was amusing but it somehow didn't sit well with me. The way the three elder brothers are so useless is comical, they don't even consider Riarte as a family except for that third brother who is a pussy btw.. I don't know if it's because of the translation but Riarte said that he was born in the same year as her.. That confuses me.. Like was he born in like Jan or Feb and the twins on October or Nov? The way the second bitch of a brother just told Rian to break her ankles so she couldn't leave even after she came of age made me do a double take. Ugh.. I seriously can't stand them. The first brother talking about how even if the Rian wasn't the one to be contracted to the Spirit king, the Duke position was still his since he had no desire for it. Like get real.. Also the way Rian treats the third brother made me hum in approval. That man deserves no respect. Why is the crown prince so threatened by the Birche family to go through the lengths of placing a curse on the ML? Also regarding the corrupted Spirit king, the spirit king that the MC is contracted to was the one who split them into half so he couldn't leave the place to follow her as the seal would be undone.. That was also surprising. Is it because he's corrupted that the dust thingy from it is harmful to humans? Making them faint and what not..

I actually really like this. It's not the best but it's nice to read. I like the MC so that's a bonus for me. I like how she is so patient with the Empress and puts her duty above everything else. I also like how she argues with people using cold hard facts, maybe it has to do with how she was raised in Dumanis. I also like her dynamic with the crown prince strangely enough, it's way too fast but it doesn't grate on my nerves. The Duchess and the former Empress sisterhood was also very interesting to see, I like that the Duchess cares more about her than her brother, cuz it would be hard to be close to someone who is the heir. I don't like her logic that the crown prince should have been aborted but I get where she's coming from. Especially when she shut the Emperor up when she asked him if it were the current Empress would he have made the same decision? Also love the crown princess and how she treasures the MC, it's a complicated situation for sure but the fact that for knights their duty is their life so it makes sense. What doesn't make any sense is the way I worded it haha... The spirit princess was super cute as well. She is an ice breaker for sure. I wish we saw the Empress' children much earlier but I'm glad we can see them now. I felt so proud when the empress said she wanted to get a divorce and stood her ground. The way the Emperor just kept on telling her to endure and not overreact made me want to rip all my hair out. Endure, tolerate it, be the bigger person yada yada. I wonder if the Viscount/count will get together with the Empress.. Although he is sketchy and collaborated with the Duchess, his priority is still her so..

This is superb. I like Goto, I like Kotaro, I like Asagiri, I like Kotoko. That panel where she looks at her sister and friends playing outside with envy while she's indoors surrounded by musical instruments..and in contrast she now has a full blown smile on her face as she plays it.. Gah! My heart. I like the second couple.. Though Asagiri irked me a lot at first, seeing those markings/brandings all over her body gave me such a shock. I hate perverts..sick men in power bored with life finding pleasure in tormenting others with their sick needs and fantasies. Kotoko is a strong woman, I admire her tenacity and as a woman or girl (she's only sixteen) she thinks marriage is the only way she can be of use and not be a burden to her family. Her step mother and sister are the typical evil stereotypes..it's not surprising that the step mother was the one who orchestrated the kidnapping and ordered for her to be raped so she would lose her chastity and be unfit for marriage. I liked the first chapter where Kotoko puts her sister in her place.. And when she said what do you have going for you except your appearance? Stellar!! We know Goto is a hitman but he isn't half bad, sure he lacks emotions but he's learning.. He knows how to read the mood. I like his and Kotaro's budding bromance. What more? That fat lady obsessed with love.. When I saw her ominous smile, I thought she would be a lot more evil but I'm glad it didn't take that route. Of course there is a lot of talk no jutsu going on but this is a manga so I expect that going in. This is a flashback so I'm wondering if the female lead was cured of her illness or something.. Whose POV is this? It said I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have.. So Kotoko?

I fucking love this. This is great. I love the MC, I love the brother and I love the ML. This is so wholesome. I like that she makes do with what she has and is so normal, no trying to be cool or too curt. She's a normal average citizen of a society. No quirkiness or anything. I like the puppy ML, how he becomes talkative when he's drunk etc. I like his brother too, the complete opposite of him.. Organised, responsible, very put together.. I like how everyone adores the MC. Also the way this author writes the female characters..Chef's kiss mwah.. The CEO is a woman.. The team leader is a woman(I thought she was a man at first)..and no underlying message that just because a woman has a job, she's a bad person/sister/wife and has bad personality etc.. Nice female representation..

This is nice. It lacks depth but reading this for a quick fix certainly makes it a desirable read. I like the MC.. It goes by a bit too fast, the emotional beats of the story, the plot, the turning into a slim and beautiful lady etc etc. I like that the character has a blunt personality so there is no miscommunication and she thinks with her head. I would like to know more about her life as Juliet and the adversities she faced as the top A list star of a country and possibly the world. Her eldest brother just by his description annoys me already. Because of him, because of his enabling of the evil step grandma's abuse.. The MC had to suffer in silent for so long. I hope that this doesn't get swept under the rug and is properly addressed. The thing with the crown prince is cool.. I guess? Also I like that they still haven't met even though this is chap 21. I would have lost interest if the story kept panning to him from the get go. He isn't the main star, our MC is and it should remain that way. The thing with her dad.. He was probably poisoned. I like this new trend of taking a dig at absent and toxic fathers who only care for their wife and forget about their children. Also how does the grandma know about Wishlet. There are some mysteries here and there that I want to get to the bottom of. The aunt and uncle.. I won't even waste my breath on them. Just pea sized villains.
