Beatrice
Ch 61 She is so accepting of her slavery which makes me horribly uncomfortable. Luckily, it makes the Duke even MORE uncomfortable. As the story goes on, I think is more the trauma of her life being sold to a noble that makes her prefer living as a sub-human. ML wants her to ask him for freedom, and she wouldn't even consider that. It's not possible for her, and where would she go?
Daughter of the Emperor
DOn't like artwork, really slow in the beginning. But skipped to later chapters and I like that she is grown up. Not gonna get invested,
The Abandoned Empress
c 126 I skipped to the ending. Overall, the best part was the relationship with her father and friends. This story gets a high score for making FRUSTRATED along with the MC who is just trying not to repeat her tragic first life, but everyone, except for her dad and two friends, seems to be conspiring against her (including God). She's still gonna have to maybe marry the bitch-ass cheating POS Prince and the selfish, clueless isekaied FL is still going to come. BUT THEN, the story gives you a plot twist to explain the horrible actions of the Prince and the FL. God actually did care about her, giving her the name Pioneer to help her create her own path. Loses a star bc this story gave two-second MLs-childhood friends, who I just loved so much. And she just treats them as friends the whole time, breaking their hearts. This is the first time I really believe the 2nd MLs were WAY BETTER than the ML who loves her. I felt like the author also didn't know how to deal with them and both relationships left me unsatisfied. The Green-haired (my fave because he seems to believe her when she writes about her "dream), goes kinda insane and eventually decides to betray his political faction in order to get her. Looking back, that wasn't a terrible idea, but it was so out of character and making him a yandere was unnecessary. I was SO INVESTED in him during her childhood when he declared himself her knight. Red-haired ML (a Gryffindor), stayed at her side up to the engagement, her not knowing/acknowledging his feelings, and just had to end that chapter of their relationship. I cried, the setting is the sun setting and her realizing his "goodbye" sounds like "goodbye forever." I wish the author didn't make it a harem and just kept him around as a brother - he can fall in love with one of friends? Also, Prince is first life had sex with her, made her miscarry, killed her father, and killed her. The reason was evil Duke was poisoning him and needed to get rid of her first. He dies too. But really, he never liked her for petty-ass reasons I still can't comprehend. He was jealous his father spoke about her and her accomplishments so much. Her mother, who he admired, loved her in a way no one loved him. Just some bs that eventually leads to disrespecting the fck out of her pre-potion. They make her Queen rather than Emperess bc he has a "holy name," which means she can take the throne. Then when FL comes he makes FL Emperess and she has to do all the work, lonely as fck as FL starts to see her as an eyesore when she decides to fall for the ML. ML eventually has sex with her bc of sexual frustration, of course, ML and FL get together right after when she is pregnant. I hope the potion started around there. The most memorable moment is when she first wakes up and she runs outside screaming for her Papa. I cried. They never had a good relationship, but he loved her enough to try and kill Emperor ML to take her home when she was suffering. He just never expressed it bc of grief for her mom and not knowing how to speak with her. Duke is just my favorite dad. And when she tells him the "dream," he believes in her, doing what he can to disqualify her from the engagement and make her family head. She gets super sick, in a coma, which it seems she did before. During it the ML visits her (who ran away to fief to avoid him) and reads her letters to green hair where she details her traumatic "dream." He scoffs, never believes it is true but uses it to explain her hesitance around him which is useful. Great outfits!

103 - usually you fell bad for the ML when the FL friendzones him. But Senni has never had a friend before and she is SO proud and happy that she finally has one- I don't even want this t get romantic. - im kinda cconfused about what is happening politically rn. I liked when we lived in the countryside Family treated her like shit in the beginning, but ch 77-78, we learn that she was actually replaced by some kind of malevolent spirit and her family instincuatlly rejected her. The father realized she is not the same and when she told him, he believed her
