Maha's manga / #summoned(69)

It took me four times to completely read this, each attempt with a large time frame in between. I don’t know why that is, but I will say that I was able to reread about 60ish chapters over four times without finding myself tired of this story. I do find that the emperor’s obsession with the FL was a little concerning in parts, but with his history I can see where it stems from and he also seems to outgrow it. I also very much enjoy the chapters that came after the empress dowager, it gave way to showing that court life is always filled with enemies. Overall a good read, though some may find it similar to other isekai stories with one of the main themes being court life. A pro tip for this one is to also break up the chapters because there are so many, even when you are used to binge reading everything straight. This will help readers to not drop it midway!

This whole story just lacks common sense? Is it just me? For one, I actually really like that she continues to deny his request for marriage and I find it really refreshing to see a character in a new world with her roots showing. But the thing is, those two things are the only thing I find enjoyable about this story. It’s super unrealistic that a nobleman would help out a strange woman as much as he did and there’s absolutely no reason for the king to like her (that we know of) as much as he does. I will continue to read as this story doesn’t have enough chapters to make a truly fair judgement on this but I have little hope for it to redeem itself.

I really enjoyed this collection of villainess one shots. There are a few I didn’t like, but then there were some I really liked. I think it’s a good collection of stories and had good dynamics over all. Would for sure recommend to anyone who enjoys the isekai genre!

A very... interesting(?) intro to a manga that isn’t necessarily a mature read. It’s got a unique start so I give it that but there isn’t much to go off of because of the lacking chapters so we will have to see where this takes us. Though I will have to say that most people’s first reaction to a new situation isn’t really to sleep with someone, but we’ll let that pass for now at least. No grammar/translation/editing errors that I noticed either so that’s nice as well.

I lost the last few brain cells I had reading this.
