I Saved The Cursed Duke

Ongoing | yoo noshina | 2019 released

Good shit. FL is op in certain areas, but clueless in others, as this sort of semi divine being. ML is generally a really nice and reasonable dude. You could say the plot hasn't unraveled yet so my opinions are limited. So far the romance has been cute and the FL slowly discovering the intricacies of human life interesting.

Happy Ending for the Time-Limited Villainess

Ongoing | Harasyo, 류호,Salmon | 2020 released

Cool premise, nice ml, cute secondary love interests. With only 8 chapters that's about as good as it gets. EDIT: More chapters out now, bumped the rating. At first it's cute and funny, but with the introduction of a well thought out plot it's become even better. For one, Clea actually matters past providing a body for FL to inhabit despite truly being dead. EDIT 2: back to 4, just because it feels like it hasn't been progressing much on the romantic front. They keep teasing it but without the commitment.

Anyone Can Become a Villainess

Ongoing | Jeongdeun, cognac, Realease 2021 | 2019 released

I can't remember this very well so it couldn't have been that good.

Return of the Female Knight

Ongoing | Lee Halin,Jiya | 2000 released

Um... Same thing as the previous one? Can't really remember much outside the basics. Slightly more potential since FL is completely devoted to ML (not in a romantic way *sigh*) from the start.

Follow The Bread Crumbs

Ongoing | Gyuni,Soreumidang | 2019 released

I'll see if it's a 5 star when we get to the part from the start that shows the kids grown up. So far I'm really liking it though.

Higeki no Genkyou tonaru Saikyou Gedou Rasubosu Joou wa Tami no Tame ni Tsukushimasu

Ongoing | Tenichi,Matsuura bunko | 2019 released

I like that she can handle herself, but even as she changes the plot she still somehow thinks it's going to end the same way and that she has to run away??? Girl if you're not a villainess then nobody is going to kill you. A bit more romance would be appreciated as well.

The Prince was my Lover who Threw me Away in my Previous Life~

Ongoing | Kogomori nue,Niiyama saho,Haneko | 2000 released

Where's the romance at bro? The plot twist about her past was cool but otherwise it's pretty mediocre.

Potion Tanomi de Ikinobimasu!

Ongoing | FUNA | 2000 released

read up to the end of chapter 23, dropped for Kaoru being a massive hypocrite. Maybe I'd be able to put up with it if she had a nice ML or something but it's just a bunch of dumb kids and an annoying woman. It was nice when it was just her finding smart ways to deal with some issues, not all of which were dependant on her powers. Her abilities were also vague enough that there was some inventiveness to be had. She starts off as a pacifist but when one of the kids tries to sacrifice herself to poison a well (which was her way of stopping an invasion without genocide) she goes ham and kills all witnesses. Then later on when she's in the middle of a massive battle she gets surrounded and doesn't want to hurt anyone again because there's more of them??? So the annoying woman gets stabbed and again Kaoru goes ham killing the guy that did it and anyone that gets in the way. It's like she can't decide if she wants to be a good person or not...

Seijo no Hazu ga, Douyara Nottoraremashita

Ongoing | Yoshitaka hana,Jisama | 2019 released

Better than the one that got an anime. They don't try to make the other bitch out to be some poor victim of circumstance while they're living the high life without giving a fuck about anyone else. ML is a pretty interesting character. Priest is the perfect supporting role, I expect to see an old man in every isekai from now on. All of them have useful abilities, including the cat, so it doesn't feel like any of them are dragging mc down. The plot is interesting as well. I'm on the verge of giving this 5 stars.

Win Over The Dragon Emperor This Time Around, Noble Girl!

Ongoing | Nagase sarasa,Fuji mitoya,Yuzu anko | 2020 released

The ML is super cute but so far that's all it has going for it.
