Ikemen Sengoku - Tenkabito no Onna ni Naru Ki wa Nai ka
Empress in Turbulent Days Webtoon
Alright some of the plot is good, but how can such a stupid person get 2 reincarnations I asked myself. I mean she got reincarnated at the worst possible time but I liked that she was the empress and think it would actually be better to start off with the near death scene. The beginning is so rough I mean I like some of the female protagonist's jokes and child-like is fun but she has no concern for where she is or who she is it's so frustrating and I've gotten use to drawing from the body's memories and trying to figure out where you are but geez she was able to sleep so care-free when her family in that world was being wiped out...I did like what she said before dying as the empress and the last kiss, but then she gets reincarnated as the younger version of the empress even further back in time? That's different but we could have started with when the couple first meets because I got to know her better...she's quick tempered but has a sense of justice and can cook really well.
Sand and Song of the Seas
Oh boy I was reminded of Ouke no Monsho because of the special interest in a young girl with blue eyes, blonde hair, and love of ancient Egypt, except that the protagonist in Ouke had more of an extensive knowledge of Egypt that wasn't focused on just one pharaoh and her reaction was way more believable...Ivy is whining about going back so much in the beginning that she doesn't even realize she's in the past and I wondered why no one thought her clothes were strange? I mean she claimed to like Ramses II but then she didn't think what that time period would be like and she finds out that Sese is her favorite pharaoh and she pushes him away like nobody's business...I even felt a little bad for him although it must have shocked him to be rejected for the first time by a woman. Also, I like Xian he should find himself someone else who understands him and loves him like his sister, but Ivy like so many other protagonists should just realize that they've changed the timeline already for good and bad so just enjoy ancient times already! It's hilarious that she's so worried about her impact on history when she brought a gun, pepper spray and some other future inventions in a backpack...like couldn't that mess with the past as well? All I know is I like romanticized ancient times even when things don't make sense, but the original Nephatari is really amazing...she understands that you carve out your own destiny/love and if you already changed things drastically why not make them the way you want them?
