60 - 4+ - Interesting strong yet balanced character As someone who dabbles in homemade stuff, i’m not too chocked by her « revolutionary «  ideas, yet as our society is far from perfect, bringing all its system as a positive reform seems a bit sad. i’m not here to question economy, tax system or sanitation choices, suffice to say there’s a lot of good , but better can be done, as 2008 crisis demonstrated. Rethinking our system is certainly a heavy process. Maybe i’d love to see creative writers doing it, challenging a few points to imagine new alternatives I deeply believe science and fiction are intricately linked, different forms of imagination brings about changes I saw a french movie called « demain «  / tomorrow (?), with so much to tell about making the world a better place, challenging our system in real life, in positive ways that works, and this title, just like a few books about travel’r Of worlds or time, made me deeply regret , the knowledge of this kind of movie is not wildly known and used, to let us envision over ways That being said it is still a nice read

It was good after twenty some, what to say after ninety ! It keeps its balance, it’s entertaining, the characters are good, and the story never disappointing. You’re left in the unknown about people intentions, and you enjoy the MC dancing on her toes It could be deeper but wouldn’t it be heavy? I’d think the only weak part is the romance that is somewhat not very involved in terms,of emotions Both characters refrain themselves, but as a result …so de we https://sawateam.info/release/

11 - Not original except for a blood thirsty princess, but that’s refreshing enough and it also pretty https://www.novelupdates.com/series/may-i-ask-for-one-final-thing/

C139.5 - cute and refreshing, very fun too, it’s a bit like dessert, but it’s a book ! What’s not to love :) The firt season is just so good, but the second is rather slow though, wait for lots of chapters to read on :/

Survive as the Hero's Wife

Ongoing | nokki (녹끼),abin (아빈) | 2000 released

C87 - What a surprise, the characters are rich and multidimentionnal, there’s no real stupid vilain, and everyone has their reasons. It’s also surprisingly deep at places and the female characters are really not pale compared to the male (so rare !). Appart from few silly episodes, the plot is having good measure of mystery and tension, it’s certainly doesn’t feel very deep, but it’s enough to feel satisfied, the character developpement and interactions being way enough to fill the pages. If that was not enough, it’s also truly a feast for the eyes

68 - i love a number of female characters - it’s still a world of « princes », directed by male, in an unfair hierarchical system - but there is a number of female characters with guts and brain I absolutely adore the initial idea of the story, the writer in a book that discovers a world bigger than what she knows and characters with more depth, vilain that are not bad, and so on But it all lack depth It’s go quite a few huge plot hole, like her talking about her origins without real care for consequences Or the butler falling for her out of nowhere The character development and interactions are so superficial i cannot help being disappointed It certainly has room to grow, but, it somewhat feels like an overgrown synopsis needing both annoverview and some deep digging to make a wonderful story - it’s « under achieved « ?

77- From 4 to 2 after som 50+ episodes Smart and sassy girl becomes manipulative and greedy, is how i feel I don’t like the second half of the drama plot wise, because everyone appart from her is a, idiot Then I absolutely dread how the duke is so confusing as a characters. He’s suddenly weak and indecisive, which makes no snese. Either hec’s traumatized and he won’t spend 50 chapters blushing, or he’s over it Lastly it becomes a reasfor her to be manipulative even about him and his feelings and it feels dirty While i understand that’s there could be some good intentions telling the reader that a guy should not take a girl for granted, the say it happens shown little respect - snd for once, yes doing so she actually really act like susan or a « fox » - there’s nos sincerity, it’s not only én écts, she also involved éll their surrounds paying not respects for his image at all, and never minding his circumstances : As you have a mouth to talk you cén express your inner feel with sincerity, shouldn’t it be a better way ? Ifnot wasn’t enough, displays of affection are valued with each once,of gold : so far, showing off money a,d spending crazily is the way to goto « show the world », or should we believe this is humorous ? A display of ego, meeting a display of money - no smart, no heart How savagely disappointing

-95 . A 4.5 Despite the idiotic tittle and the dreadful sum of revenge + reincarnator with knowledge from the modern world, it works ! The pace is mostly good, the characters are not deep but not completely shabby, and the story moves on, the discarded bad guys are gone, new ones - not as brainless - appears So it’s kind of like a dungeon crawler where the hero is a girl that goes for revenge through climbing the social ladder of high society, with a little bit a spy flavor, and a coating of romance No character is too wonderful, i could do without the archetypal « boys band » MLs, or the sad fashion for men (suits or uniforms), the cooking or « make up « discoveries are dreadfully ignorant from the past achievements too , but it’s ok I find the twist of a word where reincarnators are recognised as special entities pretty fun too, The cell phone with a search engine could be absolutely op, but it’s used in moderation Lastly the returning vilain are such a pain !!!

177 - 4.5 - A bit silly in the beginning, it actually grow some wit, and has a lot to say about society politics hierarchy and values, it keeps entertaining after 100 chapters, and leaves you hanging with suspense quite often It would be hard to say about the « plot », because so far, we’re hoping from one mission to the next, while slowly building a harem ( ?) So far there’s nothing in matters of romance, but lot of humorous episodes due to the MC terrible views on pretty men (objects of fantasy, like women are usually depicted in shonen) So there’s a harem, but it’s ok : Because they all have a role to play, it’s not a collection of pleasure or breeding toys - they are much more than that She’s a strong, hard working and smart character, even if so far the most we see from her is pretty static (sitting and drinking tea) It’s entertaining fun, witty, Not entirely light, and yes, rather original The art can be really subpar C164 +166 - credit currency theory and practice
