Leveling My Husband to the Max
Dropped. It's not amazing but probably not a terrible story? The translation is unreadable. Ch 17
In This Life, I Will Raise You Well, Your Majesty!
This is such a wise and strong FL. Not exactly the easily lovable type, but definitely redeemable given that this is a do-over (absolutely not, otherwise) Edit: Ahh. Political Intrigue is such a tedious genre. And in this one, not only do we have the pettiest of petty plots, but the well-planned 3D chess style maneuvering, as well. Still, I do enjoy it, and I especially love reading about how she approaches and solves the issues that are thrown her way. Asensio would make a fine emperor, no doubt, but I do think she'd make a great empress too. Though, of course, Elissa has absolute no desire for such a position and I wouldn't wish it on her. I hope we can continue to see a lot more of that bonding time between Consort Elissa, Leon and Asensio. And I can't help but hope she'll be free from the clutches of that awful emperor some day. I'm rooting for the knight, but being the obsessive princess's fiance, I diubt it'll go anywhere. Ch 102
A Way To Protect The Lovable You
Incredible and incredibly hopeful. Let's see. Ch 67
The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass
This story is complete. I think, perhaps, the fact that Aria, while softening over time, remained stubborn, ruthless, and a bit selfish, really made this standout a bit more than some stories where the reincarnated character does a complete 180 (although, there are many of those that I also love). Asher too, is not a typical ML, unexpectedly ruthless when push comes to shove, but marshmallow sweet, otherwise. I wouldn't normally like either character all that much, but the way they are presented here, I really do love them, especially Aria. I really enjoyed her realising how the people she had seen as means to her ends had become precious to her. I also really, really loved how Aria was so overwhelmed and happy to be recognised for her intellect and talent, for the first time in her life. I also love her relationship with her mom. I like how the loose ends were wrapped up, and I really do feel justice was truly and fully served, which is rare. I didn't think the latter chapters with the kids was necessary, and I do prefer that their memories got erased, even though the explanation was a tad wonky. I wish their wedding chapters were more detailed and longer, but other than that, zero complaints. 5/5
Actually, I was the Real One
The story's interesting, but sooo slow. Cosette is a bitch, but not smart enough to thwart Keira, so far. She's got the backing of a powerful demon, though so it's definitely going to get bad for Keira in the latter chapters. I think Keira is incredibly ignorant and naive, for the most part. I can even fogive her arrogance and disdain for her servants and knights in the first life, because she's just so clueless. She's not really the type to be able to get her revenge on someone with such a solid plan. But she's getting a lot of help and Cosette is strangely... incompetent? Anyway, the story's not too bad, overall, but I would prefer to read after it's been completed. Ch 84
I Swear I Won’t Bother You Again!
