lost_talez's manga / #Otome game(18)

ch10 lol middle aged man transmigrate into villainess of otome game. art is kinda ugly and MC kinda looks like a guy crossdressing / has its funny points but otherwise it's meh

ch11.3 (for some reason ch11.2 and 11.3 are the same chapters) ahhh seems super interesting, i really like our deadpan MC who calmly analysed her situation and levelled up till lvl 99. <3 ML is a another student (not part of the capture targets) who has experience in battle/training knights and even tho she's lvl 99 he still tried to protect her kyaaa so cute mc got baited into joining a competition cause she wants the prize (amulet to increase dark magic) and she wins of course, the sword battle by shattering her opponent's sword with her fist, the magic battle by summoning a black hole and scaring everyone including the judges.

ch13

ch5

ch12

ch6

ch16.5 really interesting, unlike how the summary makes it out, its not comedy or fluffy MC schemes to get her engagement broken off so she can become a commoner to obtain freedom, this is also motivated by her trauma from her past life where she was basically a puppet to her perfect brother, she goes into hiding to escape him but when she unexpectedly bumps into him, she runs away and gets hit by a truck. MC now works in a bakery, learning how to bake, she is visited by prince's brother who is clearly interested in her but she thinks he is just pitying her for being falsely accused. Her adopted brother also visits her, he has a twisted personality, she managed to block his flag "i think of you as a pet" by stuffing bread in his mouth lol. Her "friend" also visits her and they exchange info - she finds out that ppl actually thought she had ulterior motives for being demoted as commoner. She is also visited by neighbouring country prince and his attendant because Liliana (current fiance of prince) had revealed that MC gave the "prophecy" that saved their kingdom from war - he invites her to join hands with him to start a war with her country and get revenge against her ex fiance. She withholds her answer via offering them bread, the prince is somehow derailed and decided to be her friend instead. Liliana is the noble woman who visits the church regularly, and connects with one of the nuns (nana) there who is friends with MC. MC's boss at the bakery gives her time off for a week, coinciding with lily's collapse, MC is suspicious tht someone is pulling strings, from the enemy prince, she learns about the mysterious "L" who prophesied about a baby being born 16yrs ago and is powerful enough to destroy a kingdom. I like MC, especially how she sticks to her goal - being a commoner, doesn't let ppl sway her, she's also got a good smiling poker face, she's clearly traumatised, and i hope she gets over her trauma and is able to live happily instead of constantly being on her toes. She's determined not to live as a puppet to the extent she would rather die than to go back to being a noble - which is not healthy thoughts, but I like her very much, she's protecting her independence in the only way she knows how.
