Beware of the Brothers!
FL is adopted by ducal couple since she looks like their deceased daughter. Brothers bully her, but she endures until ready to marry. Goes back in time though. Is annoyed since can't leave house and has to quarrel with children but grows closer to them. Parents die anyway though Aunt comes to house and bullies FL. FL doesn't trust brothers, but they eventually find out and help her. Brother struggles to keep family under control as siblings stay with friend's family for a few years. Then the reunite and navigate noble society. ML has fiancee, who loves prince and eventually gets with him. Engagement broken and he confesses to FL. Slow romance. Worried about reactions and brothers find out Random noble lady hates FL and troubles her numerous times. Tries to kill her duringhhunt and is caught. Arrested for life Suddenly evil aunt and uncle show up again and free girl to make her attack ML, who pretends to be hurt I really like the story and did so ever since first reading it. But I feel like it's a bit too quick and episodic sometimes. Scenes suddenly end or switch and important events happen far too quickly (like death of parents and time skip) Interesting family dynamic. Brothers are all interesting in their own way and conflict with parents is important too. Trauma seems to make all of them neglect or abuse each other. Not an excuse though. I find that the parents really messed up, and I personally wouldn't forgive a brother for pushing me outside in the snow either Also don't know why FL just let aunt beat her. She could easily have avoided that issue instead of enduring it for no reason. She also doesn't communicate when her brother's fiancee and the prince fall in love (brother doesn't love fiancee, so she could break off engagement and be happy) The story has some jarring plot twists, including that they inserted communication orbs into the story and never used them again. Also don't know why the siblings couldn't meet during time skip. Seems odd. Antagonists have no agency and are comically evil. Don't know why ML (who allegedly kills do quickly) can't just deal with them before they cause issues I knew who the ML was before but still wasn't fond of beginning of romance. It happened too quickly without any changing signs. Also feels odd since ML suddenly started saying super possessive stuff. Don't like that the other brother likes her too and that all family members seem to adore her and have no other connections in life Feel like the regression part was unnecessary. The story mainly progressed as it originally did anyway. The last story points felt odd, a bit too boring and simple. The enemies were weak and the plot twist about FL being noble (apparently added in manwha) was never hinted at. Overall strong beginning but quite weak end 11/05/23
30 Day Fiancée
FL almost dies and Goddess sends her to other world instead. She falls onto Duke, who summons women to pretend to be his fiancee for short time to avoid marriage with her. He wants to secure his son's position with that (but Son turns out to be his brother's). FL has to learn etiquette quickly to convince everyone that she is truly a noble lady. Clishe start. Could have interesting point with ML having child, but the author didn't pull through with that. FL seems to do her best while also being pushed into a situation where she doesn't have any choices. I like her. ML is whipped for her almost immediately. Love the princess, the antagonist. Her plot with the mage and her relationship to the duke's Son are super interesting. Especially since the duke's Son seems to be a bit obsessed with her, saying things like that he wants to lock her in. Far more interesting than MC. Story had a lot of potential with the antagonists and business plots. Cancelled at 50 chapters though 07/06/23
Would You Like a Cup of Tea?
FL reincarnated into novel as side character that will die due to war. Can read memories of people and objects by touch. Walks around with childhood friend, who has a crush on her, and meets heroine (woman that will start war) amf brother of emperor. Later has to testify for emperor since she was present during Party where lady handed out drug. She tries to prevent war. Somehow her heart always races around brother of emperor though, and he acts like he knows her. Emperor does too. I actually guess that her childhood friend might be the emperor somehow (don't think that matches the dialogue with the emperor who dropped the "interesting" line. But he is sus). All three men have some sort of secret. I like the childhood friend most though Childhood friend isn't the emperor. He is mad sus though. I feel like the necklace somehow influences FL's ability to read past I actually like the story. It's a bit different with some interesting twists. Can't really see through anyone or guess plottwists yet. The art is very pretty. The characters are funny, especially the FL and her sisters The ending wasn't really rushed, but it felt like it could have been longer. The romance with the childhood friend was so sudden, even for me who liked him the most. Her relationship with the emperor and his brother went nowhere. No one mentioned why those two were so interested in her or why her heart beat fast around the prince. I thought there would be some backstory here. Also would have liked to see the motivations for the original heroine, who wanted a war but never said why. The commander of the enemy nation that loves her sister didn't really have enough screen time either Super interesting world building, but not much was done with it. Could have used 15 more chapters to go into some detail. Story had quite interesting bits despite obvious clishe of barely important reincarnation and power and everyone being Obsessed with her. The art is pretty. I enjoyed it a lot for some reason. 12/07/23
This Is An Obvious Fraudulent Marriage Webtoon
FL is from fallen kingdom that now belongs to empire. Has to marry Noble to keep status as countess. Visits information guild to find suitable contact husband for one year. Man she talks with is helper of emperor though, gets interested and just offers himself as candidate. She finds out he is known murderer and is scared. He is already obsessed though. FL takes a while to trust him and they eventually confess to one another. Hints that they knew each other in previous life. He was created by God to seal gods, and she is some sort of star. One of gods appears as lady in waiting and other one tries to kill ML Her cousin (whom she was supposed to marry but rejected) comes back and wants her. She rejects. Side story about King who always loved his head maid and started rebellion to save her from his brother Feels like the reincarnation part was unnecessary. It doesn't play a role at all Changed my mind. The whole god storyline was more important than anything else. It was interesting too. I dragged out the reading a lot, but I found the magic and reincarnation interesting. Only thing that bothers me is that everyone seems to adore FL for no reason. I normally don't mind but it's really extrem here. Also feel like couple was a bit too awkward about their first time. But they are very cute otherwise. Definitely great ML even if he is a bit insane Loved the side couples, especially how the emperor and the lady in waiting were resolved. He let her return to her nation and gave back her power before asking for new chance. They chose to start again Didn't like that they became rulers since that seems like responsibilty isn't what they want. Their children are very cute and I am elated that ML didn't get jealous but dotes on them. 31/08/2023
The Tyrant's First Love
Amnesiac Maid is mistreated by noble family and is only friends with son of them. Emperor that is known as warmonger that keeps inspecting women's eyes shows up. He saves her and has her brought to palace. She leaves at night and runs into him. He bites her and drinks blood. The second and third part of the story are so much better and less like typical romance. They show their background story and how they met when she was immortal and ML was sent as foreign prince. She was suffering under immortality and then made ML immortal when he was attacked. Third part has a revolt and betrayal by important side characters. Open end with FL waiting for ML to wake up. The betrayal actually hurt. Both male side characters showed their bad traits, but i still wanted to believe in them. Their selfishness hurt a lot. The other side characters have some serious problems though. The latter half is super angsty. Liked it a lot. Didn't guess what would happen to the end. Like that FL didn't forgive betrayal and the way she used her powers to order invaders to leave. 06/10/23

Agatha
FL is princess but let's her husband take over rule. She is ignorant as he keeps doing things behind her back. Eventually meets noble girl she grows to like, only for her to be imprisoned. FL investigates and finds out that church is spinning intrigue with drug. Her husband supports it. He is obsessed with her and wants to keep her safe, but his father wants her dead. ML is mercenary who protects FL on her journey. He starts out cold and ends up liking her. He wants revenge on her husband Enemies are church which was infiltrated6by cult people who want to use drug and kill people for goddess with king's father on top. FL gathers political strength to fight against them. Very slow and in depth. I was unsure for the first seven chapters, but then the story picked up. All characters are believable. No cartoonishly evil antagonists aside from very minor ones. Like twist of husband being evil but not wanting to kill FL. He actually loves her but goes too far when wanting to protect her. I worry about the preview of her being executed for killing husband since he definitely deserves it. Wasn't into the cult plot line at first, but I love the execution. All characters are important and each one feels fleshed out. Only their help makes the victories possible. You really want the FL to succeed. The ending is perfect. Rounded with no loose strings. Satisfying and heartwrenching at the same time. I adore it. The best political manwha I read 12/01/24
