Yuki Nijino's manga / #Historical(398)

Ch. 22 Pls don't become like madam Giselle i beg. This is too good. The art is amazing too. I like the way their eyes are drawn. Remind me to reread from the start cuz it's such a good read. - Abused and neglected daughter of count(?) meets slave father brought back. Also WTF I just saw spoilers that said they'll have a misunderstanding and break up and she'll marry that Psycho????? Fuck me in the arse man wth. Guess I'll not continue this until it's done huh (that is if i can help myself). Also apparently this is inspired by another story and in that story the ml dies??? Didn't fact check this so take this with a heap of salt. Point is it's so believable that I'm scared. Sigh. Just when i thought i found something good.

Ch. 1 oneshot. Read for smut. It's pretty good(the smut i mean,)

Ch. 9.5 So cute. - Traumatized dude gets a cutie to play pretend lover with

Ch. 20 Abused princess's country conquered by crown prince of another and she is hired as a maid.

Ch. 52 Commoner Alchemist x cursed noble. . It's cute~ the uke is so adorbs, and pitiful, he cries at everything it's so endearing. But he's also strong and not a doormat which is so High rating (9.5) but I'll let it marinate for now.

Ch. 37 Skipped around reading this cuz she's so embarrassing God save me. It gets better but the beginning was painful. - Avid rofan reader transmigrates into a rofan.

Ch. 42 Really like this ngl. The bullying at the start was a bit painful to get through but it was all worth it i love her character development. - Spoiled ojou sama x yandere(?) commoner.

Finished : damn that was the best thing ever holy this made me feel things, my heart wrenched at so many points it's kinda a record; teared up at some parts. So well written, the characters, the plot, the back stories, just everything. Something that i thought of mid way was that I don't think I've even seen an abused fl in a story like this (romance fantasy) where she didn't either regress, reincarnation, or transmigrate. Correct me if I'm wrong though. For now i just can't think of any. Anyways what else to say about this, i already praised everything about this. I love the fl and the ml and their chemistry, their very multi dimensional characters and i really enjoyed their relationship progression. Also the tinges of regret, hurt feelings, ANGST, ugh it was so good, i had to stop and take a moment to breathe every time it made me feel. Regarding the plot what's there to say other than it was really good (lack of vocabulary showing). Even though almost the entire 70+ chapters happened within the span of a few days, weeks if I'm being generous, it didn't feel like it was dragging at all. Honestly, at one point i self reflected and admired my ability to not get bored of this lol. Unline many others I've been reading that bored me half to death that i had to drag myself to get through; i guess this is how it's supposed to feel when you are enthralled by a story. I'll miss this. Also the mystery aspect of this kept me on my toes too, really a subversion of expectations (aka plot twist lol), it was so intriguing I actually stopped myself from looking at spoilers this time even though i usually jump at them first thing (usually i do that cuz I'm bored or anxious about a story) The pacing of this was really good too with jow they slowly but surely reveal everything and let you mull on it. Anyways point is, it's really good. (Btw while reading this i was totally connecting it to Ratiorine cuz this setting totally fits them as well as their personalities and dynamic. Like with aventurine as the prisoner (with sad backstory and angst) and ratio as the commander (but he wouldn't be a commander but you get my point). The brainrot was real while reading this i swear.) - Rosén Walker was jailed for murdering her husband at the age of 17. Having crushed the pride of the Imperial Army with two jailbreaks, she is captured again a year later and is sentenced to life imprisonment. On a boat going to Monte Island, where only the vilest prisoners were gathered, another jailbreak is planned… “What is your crime?” “… I’m innocent.” “Only a handful of prisoners would honestly admit that they have committed a crime.” Ian Kerner, a blunt and upright ideologist, who is in charge of her deportation, doesn’t give any leeway. “Don’t say anything useless, just answer what you are asked.” Rosén, the Empire’s best jailbreaker, and Ian Connor, a young war hero who is loved by the entire empire. Their story unfolds on the ship heading to the worst prison on earth! Now, you shall be the judge. Is Rosén Walker a liar? Or is she not?

Skimmed for smut but somehow the end was kinda romantic lol.

Ch. 8 Another one where there’s no reincarnation, regression, or transmigration shenanigans. - Abused lady proposes a plan to the duke(?) for a contract marriage to avoid being sold off to the crown prince.
