Sleeps In Sunbeams's manga / #Reincarnation(47)

Retired mercenary Araki Kyosuke (42yo) returns to Japan to settle down for a quiet life. That was until he saved Lune Mimasaka, the corporate heir to a hugely successful business and current target of a ruthless business rival. When Lune and Kyousuke meet they are both swamped by the memories of themselves in a past life as husband and wife. Their current selves are swept by the memories of a love that will defy the ages.

Story is finished. Being transported to another world is a nightmare for 40yo doctor, Chikayuki Shinra. Sure, he is back in his highschool body, but he was captured by the beastmen who inhabit this world and collared as a sex slave, subject to horrific abuse. That was until he was rescued by a pair of powerful yet gentle beastmen, Gail (from Bear Clan) and Douglas (Lion Clan). Under their care, Chika began to heal in spirit as well as body. There was joy and purpose to be found by Chika in the arms of these possessive giants and their story is something to read and reread.

This story is fully completed here and available on WEBTOON if you wanted to support the author. I really loved reading this story about the tsundere Grand Duke and his sweet and endearing intruder Princess. This author has a lovely talent for creating FLs that are very likeable and warm, and couples that learn to communicate and understand each other well. What would you do if you were reborn as a character from your favourite romance novel? For Peony, an avid fan of “The Song of Askar”, the answer is simple: Marry her favourite character of course! Reincarnated as the Princess of Garten, Peony is determined to marry Richt, the second male lead of “The Song of Askar” and former Prince of the Fairspren Empire, who was banished to inhospitable land after the novels happy ending (which didn’t end so well for him). Amidst trials and tribulations, can Peony and Richt make the most of their second chance of life and love?

Completed story: Eve has been reincarnated 4 times. In each of her lives, she had never made it past her 25th birthday and arrived before Yeoram, God of the Underworld with time still owed on her life. This time she has had enough, and demands to migrate into a new body that met her requirements rather than going through another childhood. So now she is Lady Lukina Evetha Rodlyn, beloved daughter of Duke Rodlyn, engaged to the second prince of the nation, and life should be good. Except someone had murdered the body she was now residing in, her fiancé was a little too close to her best friend, the third prince may not be the trustworthy childhood friend she thought, and on top of all that, she had to work on herself. This is just the start of what could be the life where she can finally fall in love and be happy, or just another fast track to the underworld.

Completed story. This isekai was an absolute hoot. The transmigrated heroine, Latte, was adorable. She was a FL that shone for her inner monologue, her antics and knack for facing danger, her crazy and dark side that emerged in the right situations, and her kindness that balanced things out. She really was the dorky heroine described in the title. I liked the three fish and especially the one who fell for her. An excellent story by this author. So many fun and funny moments.

I really enjoyed this reincarnation story. The FL accidentally drowned after her boyfriend and best friend got together and her soul was transferred to a different world to inhabit the body of Chartiana Altizer Cailon, beloved and spoiled daughter of a duke and upcoming contender to become the nations new Empress. Before that could happen though she would have to compete for the role for bride of the Crown Prince against the Prince’s own lover, the very much liked Irena, daughter of a count. And so began a new life of political machinations that had her own new and loved family at stake. But Chartiana was no pushover. She was a strong FL in a wonderfully feminine way where she had to outhink, strategise, and play to her strengths in a society where different factions all had their own agendas. And amidst all this was the crown prince who was increasingly drawn to her humour, confidence, and caring warmth.

Life’s not easy for a child of Heaven and Hell! Given a second chance to live, Jo Ara was happy to trade her dire past for a world of fantasy and magic. The only catch is she was reborn as Irene Neros Parjunel, the beloved newborn child of the southern demon king! With the god of the underworld and her deceased mother watching over her, she sets out to discover her place in this world. Throw in a snarky angel godmother and a stubborn demon godfather, and it’s the perfect setting for mischief and chaos. Will Irene succeed in helping her father battle the threats that plague him? And after making plenty of friends along the way, can she finally experience true love, too? I really enjoyed the story. If anyone ever deserved to be loved and beautiful, it was Irene. And the relationship between father and daughter was absolutely wonderful. Note: The translation was not always the best here. I read on Tappas after buying the official version and was glad I did. They don’t compare well, especially in the beginning and end (the parts where I compared). Spoiler alerts: As for the romances, in this version the ending is different to the novel. Which is kind of sad in a way because Ren had been so lonely for so long, and he chose to stay and uphold his promise to Rin and clearly he loved her, choosing to not follow Erin. But when Rei was trapped in the dream, it was his deepest hope to marry Rin and raise a family with her while (in this version) Ren dreamt of acceptance from his old team and leading his friends. Given that we had this insight into the characters hearts, having the dragon and the princess end up together really made the most sense and was very satisfying.

Completed story This was a very well crafted story and I loved seeing the development of strength and will of the Princess as Athanasia grew up in the shadow of such a cold and deadly father. Because no matter her determination, she was also vulnerable and sweet and it’s a real skill to write a FL who has that kind of feminine strength that we see here. The story was interesting with a good balance between darker, disturbing themes and the softer and humorous moments. Definitely worth its high rating.

Story Completed A rare gem in the villainess stories, in this one the FL, Aria, lives up to the title. After meeting her violent and tragic death, having been tortured and losing everything, Aria is ready to let go. That was until her step sister Mielle revealed that every bit of suffering that she had endured since her prostitute mother married Mielle’s father had been at her whim. The horrifying revelations and the clarity led Aria to resist her death with all her will. But some things can’t be stopped. Yet, when an hourglass appeared before her, Aria found herself returning to the past with all her knowledge and hatred intact. And she set forth to be the villainess in truth. And maybe this is where this story differs from so many where someone without having experienced the factors that shape a villainess in a transmigration type novel become the villainess but become kind. Aria had undergone such horrible trauma that as the reader you cheered her on in her plots. So if you are looking for a real villainess story where you still like them and wish them well, this is the one to read.

This was a lovely story. Carnelia (FL) was isekai’d into the role of the villainess who would be executed at the hands of her husband. However, she was nothing like the character from the story and set about to survive by becoming friends with the prince she was forced to wed when they were both 12. And that friendship was what set this story up for a wonderful foundation for a plot of political machinations for the emperors throne and ofc love. I loved the MCs, their strong bonds of friendship turned love are amongst my favourite tropes. The supporting characters were such eye candy and the art overall was impeccable. There were sweetly funny moments like the Prince perpetually having his nose buried in a “How To” book and Carnelia having to fix that. Definitely a story to reread.
