I Was Born As The Demon Lord's Daughter
Whenever there's abuse and bullying my heart goes out to the person...especially when such a sweet girl is used as a punching bag and mental illness is so misconstrued. I mean from the beginning no one really gets to know her or cares, even if she did self-harm I'd understand why but those bruises are from her own aunt and cousin beating her...I knew the "pretty" people would end up being shallow...aggravating! But, in a way her new life has got to be better. I'm so sad that her new mom died so early...like why???...and seeing the sorrow of the demon lord was heartbreaking but the must have shared something special. I like that grandpa gave his granddaughter the gift to be with her new mom for a moment and it has a different vibe when it comes to fairies, angels, demons, and dragons!
The Reason Why Raeliana Ended up at the Duke's Mansion
I like that the plot has a detective mystery vibe, and I always laugh with the person who is the female protagonist but isn't suppose to be the main character in the story that they get reincarnated into has to figure out that she acutually is more than a side character or person in the background--that they've altered the very fabric of the story as they once knew it. The female protagonist really paid attention to key details about the novel she read and its characters and I love how she stands up for equality and kindness, and the part about clever, cautious, devious duke's becoming mushy lovers was ironic because she'll be the target of his affections at some point he already finds her interesting.
The Justice of Villainous Woman
I think it's interesting how before the female protagonist died she stood up to bullies and tried her best to live a life where she could be herself and be happy even if that wasn't what her family was about...I'm mean they were super sexist...but she didn't become bitter or mean to others...I definitely think her "ex-boyfriend" and "friend" needed slapping and some sort of reasoning for backstabbing someone that was kind and loyal. I do like her internal struggle in her new life to be cunning and devious over being nice to everyone since in a way even though her body's former owner was bratty she did realize that like her friend that betrayed her in her previous life the crown prince's fiancé is two-faced and devious. The female protagonist is quite clever and I think the crown prince is clever and observant as well, plus the system in this world has more to do with actual skill over birth order which is nice! The fifth prince seems really warm and fun to hang out with. It's also funny when the female protagonist is trying to expose spies and she channels the spirit of evil step mothers and sisters (lol). Also, her new parents are so kind! I like the breakdown of the nobility/royal structure from baron to emperor as well as the difference between a maid and a lady-in-waiting I got some good education on that front, and the importance of of trying at least to mend poor familiar bonds--it's a sad thing to see a big brother that doesn't adore his lil sister but given his sister's original temperment it makes some sense.
Beware of the Villainess!
I laughed so much reading this because it slips in so many references to popular television and other manga styles...I loved the buff or the glittery eyes that show-up. Perhaps the best thing is that this woman who was reincarnated from a life of constant stress and heart ache found even more when her soul was sent to the world of one of the books she read as a villainess---even when she tried to be nice or stand up for herself it didn't seem to make a differ nice as everyone ignored or wrote her off as crazy. When I saw the crown prince who has the fad of black hair and gold eyes I thought he'd be an interesting playa but he's just dumb...I can't help but like the assasin/magician brother and the werewolf, but the best part is she's demanding to be heard and she makes use of her past life and her body's attributes to have the best life possible. Nine is adorable though best idea giving him another chance at life, heroine seems so sweet like she should be, and the maid yuno she makes me laugh with her change in attitude after being offered more money. This is a surprising delight!
La Dolce Vita di Adelaide
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.
Death Is The Only Ending For The Villainess
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.
