Athanasia was born as her mother breathed her last. She lived and died unloved and forgotten, replaced by a another child whom her father seemed to adore, despite her not being his blood (unlike Athy). This was the tragic story of princess Athanasia, a side character in a novel about Jeanette, a chimera borne of dark magic, but nevertheless a lovely main character who was sweet and loved by all. But when an orphan from the modern world gets reincarnated as Athy and gets a second chance at life, will she be able to change her fate? I love Athy. Excellent character, really. Resilient and strong in a way that's no immediately in your face. And I love the twist about reincarnation, how all three lives were hers. It's just such an excellent plot, the characters were amazing, even the side characters, from Lillian, to Felix, to Jeanette. This was just so fun to read! Definitely not something to re-read, though. I feel like it's a one-off experience, and you definitely won't get the same feelings when you know what will happen next. In any case, one the best reincarnation shoujos of all time. 5/5 Note: Ch 125 is the end. Don't know why it's marked incomplete.

The plot's very interesting, the MC is fun to read about too. The harem situation, less so. Edit: Turns out, the plot is much darker and more convoluted than depicted in the first 40 or so chapters. Can't wait to see what's really going on. The psychotic ex crown prince and his mum are less scary than the psychotic og FL and the magician, though. The king's pretty messed up too, wtf. Also, what's with these visions?? They don't really seem to be from the og plot. What *was* Raylene trying to achieve, I'm SO curious. Really wonder how this will go. Also, please don't make Harvey a love, interest, come on. That's just gross. Ch 63

1: Super cringe 2: Damn good. Though I don't think the exhile order will hold, as the "villainess" inferred. 4.8 3: This is just. Ugh. SO cute. Sadist prince, indeed. 4.8 4: Unexpected! And a little funny, too! Im glad there was no big transformation, it wouldn't have suited the story. 4.5 5: Not bad, but justice was not served. 4 6: ML really went about that the wrong way... 4.2 7: Valid points were made. The ending, though, they're so mature, unbothered by petty squabbles. 4.65 8: It was going so well, but the end was so dramatic and ridiculous, the rating took a nose-dive. 3.99 9: Ha! I knew it! Good job, little sis. Would rate this higher, but once again, the repurcussions are just ridiculous to the extreme. Prince gets sent to train as a butler? In what fucking world, come on! Make these believable, please! 3.99 10: Dull. Forgettable. Dislikable MC. 3.4 11: Would have been good, but without the climax, it falls flat. 3.8 12: Literally, just one conversation that mostly happened in FL's head. But still. Both leads were good people and overall, the story was fine, just nothing amazing. 4.4 13: Okay, actually surprised! So they were both reborn. If only the story telling had been better! 4.2 14: Not too shabby. Would have liked to have seen their jealous faces, though. 4 15: Continuation of Ch 4. It's very gross that the son had those thoughts, tbh. 16: The one with the dragon. Okay, this one's just so ridiculous, I couldn't see that coming, even after reading all these, I have to give it 4.7 17: Not a love story, per say, but the FL is wonderful and smart and even the ML seems like a nice guy. 4.3 18: He doesn't deserve her at all! 3.99 19: Bruh. So extreme! 3.9 20: Weird. So weird. 3.99 21: Average and boring. 4 22: Just makes no sense. 3.5 23: The childhood friend could just have spoken to the Prince, instead of doing all this. He was, even if a little bit, banking on them breaking up, as his thoughts implied. His heart was somewhat in the right place, though. And the Prince could just have asked her, even though he did it out of love. Communication is key, you guys. Good intentions are never enough. 4.5 24: Women supporting women, ftw T.T 4.75 25: Just die once? They think it's somehow okay to do that? WTF?? 3.99 26: The FL's smart but the King's kinda not worthy of holding his title if he falls for that. All that talk of waging war leaves a sour taste. 4 27: Continuation of Ch 4, again. This was a great continuation, unlike the last one. Ugh. 28: Interesting. Might have been a good story as a long plot. As it is, it's just okay. 4.4 29: I begrudgingly have to give it up for ML. Sadist, he may be. But oblivious and foolish, he is not. 4.7 30: It's good and I'm happy for them, but the climax is kinda too rushed for me to rate this high. Should have given it a couple more pages. It's not even clear what's what, right now. 4 31: She's right, it *is* a funny story. But, well, not bad. Definitely different. 4.2 32: The FL's so, so, so, um. Challenged. Which was kind of the point. But the story itself and the entire plot is. Er. The same, also. 3.8 33: Continuation of Ch 4, yet again. I don't like what people are insinuating, it's disgusting slander. FL is strong though, so strong. 34: Ahahaha! This SO silly! The shipper is being shipped!! Ah, but the poor prince! She's so oblivious!! 4.2 35: I think everyone's allowed to be the tiny amount of selfish you were, Lilly. You deserve this happiness. It's okay, just be happy. 4.55 36: Accidental repeat. 37: Accidental repeat. 38: Accidental repeat. 39: Accidental repeat.

It's dark but good. I might attempt this again when I feel like reading something dark. Ch 12

One of the BEST isekai shoujo I have ever read! Ever! But also, it is kind of difficult to get through. Trauma, abuse, violence and eating disorders. Suicide too. A story that discusses all of this in extensive detail, so beware. Ruby, though, I really, really, really want her to just, be happy. I wish it SO much. If only it can be so. Honestly, it's hard to read the happy little pockets in between all the shit. Because you know something horrifying is on the horizon. Kind of like reading about Alabaster, Innon, Syan and Coru in Meov. Spice around 59? Ch 65

Interesting. And I love the FL. Ariel's so resourceful and so sweet, too. But I really must say, the way she was treated by people in general and especially her father, as well as how the fifth prince is treated by his family, it really sours the story, in a major way. Hope both of them can overcome that and live their best lives. I really hope they don't leave the prince hanging and find him someone who will love him well. If he's just going to be a pitiful second lead after all that crap, that's just too sad. Anyway, the original FL from the novel seems SOOOO sus. Uber sus. The plot thickens!!! Ch 63

Ch18.2 Even after the climax is over, it's sstill pretty interesting and I want to see the conclusion to the current arc

It's not that it's not good. It's absolutely brilliant. But all of them are insane. Certifiably. Either psychopaths or sociopaths or something else along the lines. It's just kind of hard to read. But I will, because I would like to see Sang heal. Dropping for now but I'll definitely take another crack at this later. Ch 26

Ch15.1 Amazing story about an adorable geology genius who becomes an important figure in her country, loved and respected by all, especially her fiancé, trying to disguise itself as a villainess isekai. But you won't fool me. 5 Edit: This is legitimately one of the best plot developments and solutions I have seen in this genre. I simply cannot wait for the rest of it. This is SO good!

One of the best FL ever!!! Competent, strong and kind. I love, love, love her! ML is also a fucking gem, honestly. I love this story. But most of all, I am so invested in Fiona's relationship with her adoptive father. ~Ahh. She might as well be his child, they're so alike! I love thisss!!! Edit: I still love it, but I wish she wasn't amassing a harem of men. For example, that mercenary would be such a good match for the saintess. Instead, it looks like he too, will become part of the harem. That's pretty disappointing. Ch 70
