TheChilliest's manga / #Romance(120)

The beauty of this is you actually seethe cicumstaces the female protagonist came out of... how she wasn't good enough for her mother because she reminded her of not reaching high enough and knew how talented she is. I can't imagine only living to make your ungrateful brother's life better when no one appreciates your sacrifice as well as the great loss of innocence it took to get her brother on the throne. The only ones to treat her with respect and kindness were the grand duke and the sainted and she did them dirty, but not a day went by that she didn't know how terrible it was to make good people suffer for her family's survival. The female protagonist is clever and wishes to give back to the duke for his kindness by using her skills in his favor the second time around...I like the chance for some level of redemption and justice for the female protagonist!

So we have a case of reincarnation and transportation to another world here...I've never seen that one. It's also funny how go with the flow the female protagonist is, but I did think it was a little wasteful about the food going to waste after barely eating it. Anyways, the banter among the characters is nice and the whole marriage idea to get rid of some form of dilemma also takes a different turn with all parties being so willing. I feel bad for the celebrity who got transported though since she literally has no family in the new world and has to resort to similar schemes as before...but then again it would have worked more in her favor to be seen as a sainted at heart even without abilities so that she'd gain allies. The quote, "It takes a brave person to marry a handsome person" and the female protagonist proposing to be a "trophy wife" stays with me.

I'm pretty entertained by the possibility of being transported to your favorite novel just to feel helpless since if you reveal all you know to quickly you're suspicious or thought to be insane...but in this case being launched in the prequel part of 20 years before the story begins its quite interesting. But, it seems the female protagonist will have to get quite inventive if she's going to save the emperor (Erudian) of the biggest neighboring kingdom who also happens to be a villain and her favorite character. I wonder though if it's possible to let the emperor's son be born and just counter some of the darkness with kindness/love (too much sailor moon I guess)...hmmm. Anyway her attempts at wooing the emperor should be funny especially since she was reduced to the pitiful "aren't I pretty" pick-up line! I like Yeni's older sister and brother in law and her niece (Bizney whose the novel is named after) should be adorable as well! Ah the dark side does have kindness...the silver haired, red eyed emperor will be still my beating heart. Also, how the f male protagonist cares for her new family is awesome since it seems she was in foster care before.

I really like otome related stories, but this is quite interesting as I haven't seen an otome where you can play as the heroine or the villainess and experience the world through their eyes--that's genius! I mean most of the time villains/villainess' are written off as evil and deserving of the most foul things...but the question is is anyone born evil truly? Are there misunderstandings or an environment that only leave a person bitter and full of hatred? I mean the female protagonist played the heroine route first thinking it similar to her own as they both are thrown into a new family, but one major difference: people started off wanting/willing to like the heroine while no one gave her a chance. When she played the villainess route it's hard because naturally no one likes someone who all blame is placed on and every little mistake could mount into death, it makes sense that she threw tantrums since no one bothered to listen to her anyway. The female protagonist finds much more in common with the villainess who barely had anyone in her corner early childhood and wished her happiness with all the other characters. I like how addicted she got playing even when she didn't understand the appeal at first! I mean so what she's adopted? But, I get that the brothers and the duke are suffering from the loss of the original daughter of their house. I know he's life-threatening, and can be quite terrifying but I like Kallisto...on the villainess' route there is an understanding that he strikes first lethally before questioning because assasins are often after him and the only one who really supported him was his mom. It's not surprising that the female protagonist died so many times when she was targeting him, but I wonder didn't she learn anything substantial that she could have used when she played the heroine route...I like when he said, "the crazy bitch from the dukedom loves the crazy bastard from the royal family that's interesting..." I was like that does make for a good story! I hope she gives him a "killer confession".... Also, even though the female protagonist views her brothers as similiar to the ones from her old life, they can be quite cute and protective when given the opportunity. I like all the love interests/main leads and the unique spin this story takes on ontomes.

When I first read this I was exited about the mafia aspect because mostly when I've seen mafia/gang it describes the leader as ruthless but then there's no fight scenes or actual fear that the person is dangerous and you should flee for the hills. I for one like the mafia leader to have a moral code of no rape or undue abuse of women or children, if the woman can defend herself and has the intent to kill then defend yourself that's okay. I also like when it's increasingly difficult to gain trust or affection from the mafia leader due to rival gangs always gunning for your life, men/woman wanting to spend time with you to gain power, favors, or make you indebted to them. I'd have a thick wall of caution and I like that Mr. Yu has an inner circle of people he'd consider friends, I was surprised to see a woman among them because he seemed to have intense resentment toward women as he takes their first times and ditches them and oh boy even going so far as to tell the women that if they get pregnant to not expect any child-support from him or to even recognize the child as his own...I mean the abortion money was new to me definitely. He keeps himself detached even to the point where he could watch a person drown for awhile without flenching...I dared to wonder if he allowed himself to care/love a woman what would he be risking? The female protagonist I give serious props for being praised for her high intellect and not easily giving her first time away even when she truly loved her boyfriend...they made an agreement to have sex on her 18th birthday but I guess he couldn't wait patiently and gave in. I mean her boyfriend did recognize her abilities and seemed to cherish her to some extent since she was the only one he called "girlfriend." I also liked Mr.Yu's original disposition how he has a different manner of speaking and walk that he usually covers for, I think I'd wreck his mental/emotional defenses and learn how to swim with martial arts.

My oh my Alexander looks like a Greek god! But I really think something is wrong with many of the people's brains in this story which is both entertaining and aggravating at the same time. I mean I love that Clare has the internal qualities of what makes a real princess: kind, brave, humble, plus she's a true survivor. She studied hard in her past life and became a veterinarian with and extensive knowledge of herb then when she was reborn she was a slave who is also studious and eager to help others but also biologically royalty. She has skills in treating the sick and she's not full of herself. It's depressing that princesses or beautiful women are seen as those with long hair and frilly dresses who don't know how to work. I mean a slave can't do this, her offspring can't be seen as royals because she's not blonde and blue eyed (genetics doesn't work like that--probably saved her though), she's a boy or a teenager (I get it she's lively and fun to watch)...these things irked me and man are slaves not human they can't learn to read and write what if a slave teaches herself how to...is it that unbelievable! I'm thinking that Alexandro's dad also doesn't understand sexuality...if he's gay then it wouldn't have mattered how he was raised. I'm tired of of his dad's meddling as well so he can think his son is gay if he wants, and he and his wife made it so that their son had a sense of justice where he despises political corruption but also noble women who seem to hide their true intentions. I like that howl means a lot to him but you think he'd want to figure out what happened (black stallion is definitely his spirit animal). I know it will take all the slow people awhile to understand but Clare was different while her everyone was being killed in the palace where no one cared about her she bravely came out of hiding to stand up for her servants, I know a quick head chopping was suppose to be a merciful death...but if anyone had bothered to look into her past they would have seen her abilities and wouldn't want to kill her. Anyhow, everyone wake up and smell the aromatherapy bath sometime before we're all old...she should be treasured, especially after to death threats, and I want to see real time lovey dovey scenes between Clare and Alexander. I rant and rave because I hate/love the story and I grow impatient. Also I must add that Alejandro is sexy and doesn't know it or care, because how can he not know the effect his beauty has on others...I mean these body shots gave me heart attacks.

What I love about this is the female protagonist had a passion for medieval times...the knights, kings/queens, the appreciation of nature and art, but wasn't too keen on the dirt and unsanitary environment (me either) so after being successful in science and taking part in anything medieval in the 21st century she descided to delve into virtual reality and create her own medieval world and characters. I really like the fact that the world is of her own making, and its kinda ironic that th game creator gets stuck not only in her own world but actually wanted to switch to a noble because being a slave was too much effort...even though she wrote the slavery into her world. I like the idea of working my way up but I get wanting to skip to a comfortable setting. Anyway I laugh everytime she calls the male protagonist her baby even though in some sense he is as well as the other characters, then she goes and call the yundere like prince her baby but he doesn't get the same treatment. I mean I get it he kills all of the lovely Duke's (Edward) people while he's gone and always covets new things that don't belong to him, but wasn't that how he was created to be? Whose really at fault here? The weird thing is how she creates work out machines for the knights I just think those are too close to modern times, but the washer isn't that bad. Also even the Duke's little fiancé is interesting...I never would have thought she wore wigs.
