The Goal is to Become a Gold Spoon so I need to be Completely Invulnerable
Dropped at around 120. The arc is so forced. Im fine with the endgame accomplished, dont give af about the politics anymore coz its so incohesive There's vagueness in whether Rian remembers her past life and just realized she is currently in a novel (which in itself should be a mystery especially since she's not just sent there, rather it was said like a reincarnation because she remembers her past life, not that she is possessing her current body. but anyway, she's focused on staying alive so nevermind that) sometimes the author forget details like Rian already knowing Ken's identity. There are also moments when I'm disappointed but then some moments where I am pleasantly surprised. It's not so exciting, but it's not boring as well. It gives enough intrigue because everyone doesnt just fall in love needlessly PS. the crown prince's narrowmindedness and unreasonable methods will be his downfall. he is as stupid as the emperor—more and more i'm just annoyed by this blond and the airheadedness of her brother. the "tension" is making me impatient
The Emperor Reverses Time
Having been a part of an arranged marriage, crowned too early, and called an "incompetent" emperor—having a too perfect wife irked him. He neglected his wife, so much that he was indifferent of the poison that killed her right in front of him. However, her diary, which contained the abuse erasing the Empress' individuality and turning her into a doll, made him swallow his pride and fall into an abyss of regret. Determined to pay the debt he owed towards his pitiful empress, he waged his soul to turn back time and make sure to make her happy.
The Duchess with an Empty Soul
paused at 83 since translations are... unbearable. STORY WISE: the more complicated it becomes, the less urgency and clarity there are. Unlike Yvona's initially clear and linear attempts to make sure Gaspar and Tristan do not get what they want while preparing for war, she becomes complacent. it begins to focus more on "how men see women and what women can't do" —while also giving us a vague update on how their relationship is progressing. @107... She just let the damn bastard walk away, tf? I saw alot of official translations and had my hope in this, but the more i read the more foolish i feel still reading it when i already reviewed it as lacking urgency when I left it. And more so now that theu do the worst strategies just to increase unnecessary tension and mystery. Ugh dropped
The Stereotypical Life of a Reincarnated Lady
Valerie is traumatized by his magic teacher's prophecy despite wanting to be someone special as a reincarnated person. Hence, she became lethargic as she avoid standing out. However, as a cliche romance unfold between an isekai woman and a powerful man, she becomes entangled with them thru an unexpected engagement with the powerful man. Contrary to her misunderstandings, the truth behind the woman wasn't as stereotypical as she thought. Her constant misunderstanding stresses her, but ultimately realizes that she can't keep jumping into conclusions despite her fears.
Tensei Kizoku no Isekai Boukenroku ~Jichou wo Shiranai Kamigami no Shito~
Interesting MC who is a little dense, but is very proactive and humble. Takes magic and responsibility seriously, but is unable to refuse his sister which trapped him into a sudden polygamous engagement with 3 girls. Despite being OP, he is confronted with a heavy responsibility to take on the world's biggest threat on top of all the complexities of an aristocrat.

Beware of the Villainess!
Holy Guardian Tiger
damn, im glad it ended in a positive and hopeful note. but just thinking of how many more times Sera will have to go against a powerful pull from the novel's protagonist... my heart will just keep breaking. (esp since the protagonist is ominous)
Isekai de Café o Kaiten Shimashita.
erased a long rant that was fuelled by frustration ch29—it has a nice build up (often absurd but it's a diff world anyway). Risa reminds me of myself in terms of giving advice yet being unable to keep it. I'm disappointed that her friends and family are passive towards her just when she needed major help. (i get that they want to support her choices, but most of the time it was their coaxing and carelessness that got her into trouble anyway)
