just_m3h's manga / #Strong Female Lead(134)

The characters are lovely. But the sex is so so.

The plot is utterly fascinating. But the length leaves much to be desired. It feels like this will probably still be going 10 years from now. Because we've reached the 90s with so much left to be resolved. Ch 96

A truly unique, excellent take on the isekai-shoujo genre. Melissa is such an awesome fucking lead, oh my God. I am obsessed with her. And I couldn't ask for a better love interest than Nine for the perfection that is Melissa. Goddamn. I am genuinely so jealous of her for bagging such a kind, loyal, supportive husband. He's definitely a lot like the second mls I always root for but never get picked. This is such a rare wish-fulfillment manga, honestly! I love the people around her too. Damn. From Yuri, to Yona, to Cartena, to even Jake, eventually. I'm glad she sorted the so called male leads right out. No nonsense, no sir! But, ohhh. When she said "am I not special?" with that unholy, confident smile of hers, goodness. She got me good. She's just such a good lead, fr!! 5 Ch122. Main llot over, mostly giving background stories and pasts of other major characters, atp. Still super interesting, though.

I mean, it's such a big fuck you to those self-righteous arseholes, you kinda *have* to give this a thumbs up. 4.7

I don't think this is actually done... Most of them, except the fl were incredibly annoying. 4 Ch3

It was good. But there were definitely issues. The way they pretty heavy-handedly changed Lillielle's personality to make her the villain at the end was a bit much. And the fact that their father was an abusive arsehole to the end. Highlighting Lillielle's hypocrisy and shamelessness is good, but some of her points about equality and capitalism and the greed of the aristocracy are absolutely valid. So it was hard for me to truly enjoy this for what it was. I am glad, though, that Eliza got tk be happy, and the duke, too 4.3

This must be one of the best MCs I have ever read in a do-over/ reincarnation manga. Not just the best female MC, but best, all around. And that's saying something because women are almost ALWAYS poorly written. This is simply amazing, I'm scoring it 5, right now. Even though waiting for the next 100-200 or so chapters will be torture. Ch 11

Interesting plot, so far. MC's great Ch 82

When Juvelia who was (allegedly) left to languish for a crime she never comitted chooses suicide as the only option left to her, she has no idea how wrong she was about everyone around her. Will being given a second chance show her how much she was loved and protected by her people? As far as "villainess" stories go, this one's very, very good. I love Juvel, she's smart, resourceful and strong, even though she didn't go through any of the major image rehabilitation montages other female leads in similar stories do. Her ex is a legit psychopath, though. Wow. I cannot wait for him and the cowardly emperor to get taken down, for good, even. And also for all the various misunderstandings between Juvel, her dad and the crown prince to get sorted out. Seriously! There are too many!! Edit: It's good that some secrets have been revealed, but there is still so much to sort out. I am s anxious!! Edit: Most personal misunderstandings now cleared. Just waiting for the broader mysteries around Goddess Circe, Fafnil (Fenrir?) and the history of the Floyens, now. And of course, the rebellion. Ch 112
