lilithespark's manga / #strong female lead(258)

this is pretty good! very light and calming read. i ofc love the food elements. all the side characters are generally charming (e.g. vil and aria). i just want more!! 16.2

Kind of mid. I like the farming aspects ig? Schan (likely ML) has a tragic backstory yada yada. It follows the same template as I’ve seen a lot of other isekai. the art is also mid (personally don’t like how the eyes are drawn a lot of the time). the mc’s personality is just too simple for me

cliché premise, but i love the ml here. he’s goofy AND hot. it’s refreshing how even tho they’re a contract couple, they don’t act overly stringent. a nice twist on a familiar plot 30

Okay, whoever dropped this because of the “bad” art… I feel bad for you because it really wasn’t that bad? The characters just had realistic proportions. Plus, the recent chapters look so good! If you’re feeling hesitant to read this because of the art, please don’t. Anyway, this story is definitely frustrating at times with the MC’s indecisive character (and the leads getting interrupted at pivotal moments), but I’d say this story’s redeeming quality is the ML and the other supporting characters. The ML is SO freaking refreshing. He’s not afraid to admit he’s done wrong, he doesn’t let the MC go, and he’s so, so honest. The drama is kinda cliché at times, but again, the supporting characters make up for it. Characters I thought were potential love rivals actually (crown prince and hyme) aren’t but still support the MC and her own romance. The storytelling has above average execution! The leads are so cute; they’re head over heels for each other.

Actually really good! It’s very enjoyable watching the baby MC being so resourceful and cute. Her character is pretty realistic! I like that you can really tell she has the mentality of an adult woman in a child’s body. She’s very guarded, which makes sense. I love the art, especially the way the artist draws Charente (i’m not a simp i swear). this manhwa is a good execution of the neglected illegitimate child trope. there is obvious character development, and not everything is black and white. the characters are complex. the mc, for example, has done a lot of bad things but is trying to make up for it in her own way, same goes for her uncle and grandpa. the world setting also feels unique with the ruins and ancient artifacts. my only qualm is the slow pacing. 81 eps and she’s only five years old? huh..

if you don’t let the blood-boiling, capricious emperor ML get to you, it’s not the worst manhwa. the ML is unreasonably possessive of the MC just because she magically became more bold. the MC is a tsundere, but i like that she’s actually kind on the inside. the original saintess fl (an antagonist) is pretty typical, innocent on the outside but cunning on the inside. the characters aren’t particularly developed. i don’t feel any attachment to them. personally, i’m just reading to see what happens. it’s a mildly pleasant read in that aspect. the ml has the tiniest hint of character growth

At first, the romance is very slow, but I think the payoff is pretty good. I like that the MC is a businesswoman! She’s capable, and seeing her plans in action is satisfying. This has its clichés, but I like the execution. There is no miscommunication. The leads stand as firm equals, and they express their true feelings toward each other, unbound by their initial contract! Refreshing story, and the art is so beautiful ^^ I like how this isn’t purely romance and how’s there are primary slice of life elements.

the drama in this story gives me high blood pressure, but it’s addicting. the mc’s trauma, eating disorder, and domestic abuse is well depicted and handled. The art is gorgeous, but the plot is so fracking slow… Still, I want more!! like girl spends 102 chapters in this facade which is understandable given her trauma but frustrating as a reader. i love the romance! i love how it’s expressed in not just grand gestures but even the more mundane actions like washing each other’s hair…. this is a super good story with a complex plot! the characters are fairly dynamic, and it allows one to really feel their emotions.

It’s interesting! It’s been a long time since I’ve read a couple with as twisted and dark of a relationship as this one. Are they toxic? Are they healthy? Does the ML (Magnus) love the MC (Ilyna)? Does he want revenge? I love the complex plot full of dichotomies. I like how all sides of their relationships are displayed. The MC and ML are multifaceted with no clear “villain.” The angst and the toxicity is so addicting…

This is really good. A major part of that is the ART. It’s so fricking scrumptious. They make Ceres look so handsome im done. Anyway, I like how the MC is a priestess, who didn’t transmigrate, reincarnate, or do anything like that. I like her complex character! She’s mature but also has her vulnerable moments.The ML’s past is interesting as well. I like their casual and close dynamic with each other and how the ML is so clingy hehe
