Miko's manga / #Duke‘s Daughter(135)

Read: Ch.85 Pretty cute and fluffy story, but lots of typical drama, which is easily solved. Cringey sometimes, but still entertaining. Just the ending was over-the-top with ML‘s proposal, I almost puked.

Read: Ch.13 It‘s entertaining, but very simple and full of clichés. Everyone is falling for MC way too quick, and their reasoning doesn‘t have any depth to it. Most of the time, MC just says two sentences, which somtimes only scratch the problem’s surface, but all are just falling for her instantly. I love reading reverse harems, but the MC has to work a bit more for the capture targets to fall for her, not just say a few random sentences. There‘s also a weird and too fast pacing to the story, like there are missing panels or events at some point. One also has to get used to the art: It‘s pretty, but it looks like there are only sketches. The mangaka draws lots of incomplete lines, which makes it seems like a sketch most of the time. But the art gets better in the later chapters with less lines and they look clean and complete.

Read: Ch.3 Simple, but entertaining so far: MC gets reincarnated as the duke‘s daughter, who‘s terminally ill just like her twin sister. MC‘s sister is in love with the first prince, but will later be forced to marry the second prince to keep him in check. In order to save her sister (and herself), she wants to marry the second prince herself and find the cure somewhere, where only royalty can enter.

Read: Ch.69 Meh, it was an entertaining and an enjoyable read, but the rating is way tol high for this: Some character features are just not adding up and making this pretty annoying sometimes. They‘re making so many illogical decisions, just really stupid behaviour. MC isn’t the best, but ML is just so unlikable. Prodigy my ass, you haven‘t done shit so far, he‘s just making me mad. ML is supposed to be the strongest mage and duke right in the capital, but he can‘t even do one lil thing against the royal family? Even letting the princess slap MC and still escorting that bitch. I knew right away that the princess is gonna betray them later on, so how did they not see that coming? Then there‘s MC, who‘s supposed to be like a strong-willed thug and a former bodyguard, but is so weak and can‘t defend herself against those imperial guards? I get that she‘s not gonna be on par with them, but she‘s still supposed to be strong, so why is she acting like a damsel-in-distress? It doesn‘t make any sense. And finally, ML being immune to spells and just pretending to be in love with that maid in order to protect MC from the emperor? Oh, come on, that‘s complete bs. Just kill that maid or continue to act lovey-dovey with that maid in front of MC. It‘d be so satisfying for MC to leave him afterwards, but unfortunately, that‘s not gonna happen.

Read: Ch.6 Meh, MC is weak, stupid and easy, while ML is a cold jerk. But then they truly like each other. I just don‘t get some scenes, there‘s no moral and then it‘s brushed over so quickly as if nothing has happened at all.

Read: Ch.9 Pretty good, but simple: MC is very strong and calculative. Thanks to her magical ability she travels back in time in order to take revenge for her and her mother by making her father, his new mistress and half-sister suffer til death. They poisoned MC‘s mother, married MC off several times for money and killed her in the end. All her past husbands loved MC, but she doesn‘t know it from her third and last husband yet. He‘s probably gonna be ML, the eight prince.

Read: Ch.36 Blonde girl is the villainess and OGwriter of the novel.

Read: Ch.25 MC is pretending to be „ugly“ with the help of make-up and bad fashion, in order to escape imprisonment of the three OGMLs. She forcibly enters an arranged marriage with ML, who is considered „ugly“ due to his freckles.

Read: Ch.30 MC gets reincarnated into a novel as the villainess with a tragic ending. In order to avoid that, she tries to keep her distance to ML aka emperor, but gets drunk and has a one-night-stand with him. ML has been in love with her since childhood, and is no tyrant, since he didn‘t kill his father nor his younger brother, who‘s also still alive and wants to take the crown away from ML.

Read: Ch.45 Season 1: Ch.1-42 Really funny and entertaining so far with a strong MC: She gets isekaied as a bullied and overworked empress, so she wants a divorce from the current cheating emperor. MC gets support from her ducal family after clearing up some misunderstandings and meets the missing first prince as her new escort knight and pretend lover, who‘s been in love with her since childhood.
