Female lead (Jade) is pretty superficial and hypocritical. I can't stand how quick to assume and shallow she is. I just can't see him with her. No way in Hell does she deserve him. Read up to Chap 16, but won't be continuing Edit: So I went right back and read the whole thing after the comment section egged me on. It was good. And Jade, she was still selfish, and there were things I didn't like about the power balance in that relationship, but she does mellow down. And she makes Willow (Liu Yun) so happy. Liu Jun was also an incredibly annoying character, but was tolerable later on. Wish we could have seen more from Billy and Mr. Yun. They are adorable ^.^ Also, Jade, tbh, is a great character in many ways. She's competent, self sufficient, strong, smart, resourceful. It's just her initial attitude towards Yun that really threw me off. Rating changed from 3 to 4

Torao drinks a strange drink from the vending machine and gets turned into a woman. While he's struggling to find a way to change back, he falls into a strange sex friends relationship with his former rival. He's not a woman, ffs! I hate the mangaka for referring to him as such. This is just ridiculously bad. And all the side characters showing up and trying to assault him every other chapter are the epitome of annoying and predictable. That girl who planned that attack does NOT deserve to be forgiven. All the shitty attempted rapists need to be reported right the fuck now! Only reading because I want to know if he changes back. 4

Yoo Haa and Lee Sak are both people with difficult personalities, forced together by circumstances beyond their control. Can they make it work? It was good and all. Demo, nanka unsatisfying? Both characters were hard to like, but their pasts and trauma made it easier to understand why they were like that. And I truly did wish them well. But the end was still so vague and unsatisfying. I guess it was too unstable. And I also didn't particularly want Joon Young to get infected. I just, didn't like this one that much. 4

This so beautiful and so heartbreaking. It's excellent. 5

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

It was just frustrating. 3.8

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.

I'm glad we're past the whole wolf transformation issue. Hope it picks up the pace a bit more. Ch 36

A little slow, but not too bad. Characters are likable enough, including the support characters and the OG FL (I'm so glad they didn't go the cliché route of Evgenia being a bitch to Canaria). Ch 65
