This series has a lot going for it even though it's only 29 chapters in atm. r4n55

  1. We get to know the MC before she transports into the game world. A lot of manwha don't give us enough time to know the MC's original life, leading to a disconnect. But here, I feel more for the MC because of how she was portrayed in her regular life. Moreover, we actually see MC playing the game she will eventually be...

AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE SEBASTIEN IS HOT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.[/b]Although he is gorgeous....

I love this story for all its darkness, struggles, and moral ambiance. Honestly, there were many times when I wondered if I would resort to doing some of the inhumane things mentioned because I actually felt like i understood the causes.

Furthermore, Ciel is the one who truly attracts me. He may be a boy...

Pandora Hearts is one of those darkly mysterious, exotic, but beautiful kind of manga that leaves the readers obsessed, like me.

There is also a bit of "horror" elements here and there that truly scared the heck out of me, and that was good too. :-)

In of art, it has a pretty typical "shoujo-esque" art style, and each volume cover is beautifully rendered in watercolor.While some may disagree...

Disclaimer: don't read this if you are looking for something action-packed and intense. Not a lot happens until like the 3rd arc. But I never knew royal slice-of-life could be so amusing and fun!

Seeing the MC grow up from a baby to full grown princess is such a journey. I'm totally invested in her. I love how this story is wholesome despite how dark/morbid our narrator can be. The contrast is...

This is a shounen manga that introduces young readers to a grey world parallel to our own. While it's true that a lot has been exaggerated and * simplified*, it reminds us that nothing is black-and-white. The only problem I have is that most of these rulers are pretty extreme, even if they have good intentions.

The author shows a mixture of good and bad, but never truly dives into politics...

10

I love how mature the main character is -- well duh she's like a 25 year old woman stuck in a teenager's body. Either way, it's so refreshing to see the way she resolves the various issues she has to deal with as a family grieving for their lost patriarch. Her interactions with her children are so precious, although I'm not totally sold on how fast the kids went from hating to loving her.

I also...

I really enjoyed this series until the academy arc kicked in. It just really slowed down and seemed less exciting whenever MC became a teenager along with elf princess.

8

This manwha nailed the humor and art. I am so amused watching the interactions between the two MC's and the side characters. While the twists were all kind of predictable, it was still interesting to see through to the end. Also, this is the first shoujo isekai series I've come across that actually has a long arc exploring the mystery behind why the MC got transported into the book world. Other...

10

I didn't expect much from the story because the first 3 chapters were so freaking confusing. But boy next thing i knew I was on the latest chapter scrambling to find more to read. So so so addictive.

So many twists. Who knew a princess story could be filled with so much vengeance and action? I'm still only on chapter 18 but it's incredible so far. This manwha fully overcame my prejudices towards...

8

chapter 27-29 got somewhat frustrating to read, but this is an otherwise adorable manga series!

7

Let's just say I find the love between the demon lord and our main character to be intoxicating, somewhat unhealthy, and strangely fitting given their respective situations. This is a compliment. 🙂

The demon lord, first off, is an seemingly all-powerful being with the curse of immortality. (He spends his time killing himself due to how boring/depressing life gets) Because of his immortal body...

7

This story is a complicated one. Much of it tugs on your heartstrings, making you want to cry. The guys are all very close with each other, and all are filled with brotherly love (no homo, although at times I wished it was a bit more gay).

Story is very long, with A LOT of characters involved. So better get the 07 Ghost Wiki open just in case you forget something. Beware spoilers, however.

I...

8

I pretty much read the whole series because of my love for Duzell the vampire king.

Everything's good and all, but I gave up reading around volume 13 because, frankly, everything is just way too confusing. Too many characters, too many strange names, civil war, and too many subplots for my mind to keep track of.... Plus, it's now obvious that the couple I ship will not be canon. I really really...

6

Cute.
ML and o.g. ML are cool.
The aunt FL is nice.
Good casual read.

9.5

I hope this comic series stays a close adaptation of the completed web novel. Unlike most MC's of this trope, our badass bish doesn't suddenly turn a new leaf upon rebirth. She doesn't suddenly go from the worst villain in history to a misunderstood, slandered saint. Nah, our girl was always kinda crazy and ruthless thanks to her loveless childhood. But this time, she learns to be a charming psych...

Omg..... lemme just gush about how hot the man guy is for a while... don't mind me.... I love the cover art btw.... 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
as many have already said, this series features great romance + fantasy elements. I Love It!

Update: Wow I was dumb and bloody thirsty. If you look past the pretty art, there's really not much world building and substance. Skip this one.

8

Hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

10

Wow I'm in love with the FL. She's surprisingly mature in various situations compared to other otome isekai female leads. For one, she realizes that even though she lives in a potentially preordained book world, the book characters she interact with are still people with their own free will and feelings. She doesn't try to force things to go in any particular direction because "destiny" or "fate."...

8

I enjoy this. It's really light hearted to follow this main character. She's funny.
the only problem is the world building. I'm confused with how exactly magic works in this world since there seem to be some odd elements to it.

---

I didn't read the original book series, but spoiled myself the book ending through wikipedia. 🙁 The ending is..... 🙁

The story and creatures of this world are rather interesting. I really liked Darren Shan's vampires--they are not all beautiful undead statues that sparkle in the sun.

EDIT: i love how there's only one comment/review for this series every year. LOL.

5

Humor is kind of one-note and mildly creepy.
There's no clear plot.
Art is on the better side of okay.

10

wow I think I had a smile on my face basically the whole time while binging this series... I love all the characters. They are a bit tropey, but in a fun and interesting way. I'm also a fan of our MC; she is pretty hilarious and smart. I really enjoy the author's sense of humor, and the English translation is well done. Not to mention the art is incredible~! The colors are so nicely done.

The only...

The young, malnourished Leslie was born to be a human sacrifice for her older sister in order to fully awaken the sister's black magic. Thus, despite being of noble blood, she was a living secret treated worse than a wild animal by her biological family. Supposedly Leslie must be burned in a black fire after she turns ten years old for the transfer of power to successfully go to her older sister...

6

Yes, this story is cute and I laughed a few times...However, this series turns into The MC Fan Club halfway through, and all the characters end up as comedic reverse harem tropes rather than actual people with thoughtfully developed personalities. Well, they didn't exactly have developed personality traits to begin with.... but even the little bit they were introduced with became lost. It just...

10

This manga is really fluffy, and the plot is probably blurred for many. But for some odd reason I fell in love with these cute little characters, especially Cooro. There was a sad undertone throughout the series that kept me absorbed in the manga, and at the end I cried because it was just so melancholy and cute at the same time.

Strangely enough, it was also pretty realistic in of character...

10

WOW I did not expect this manga to be so detailed! I'm LOVING this. Other's might find this boring, but wow I'm honestly completely shooketh.

** disclaimer: ** if you are looking for the typical otome-game-isekai-harem tropes in this series, you will be very disappointed. This series is ** nothing ** like any of the other manga series about aristocratic female leads. This series dives deeply into...

8

It's too early to give this webtoon a 10/10, but i've really been enjoying the various antics our main characters are up to (the maid, the villainess reborn, the dad, the fluffy werewolf, the book heroine). Everyone's hilarious and unexpected. Every chapter surprises me like a breath of fresh air.

The premise of having 4 terrible male leads is A+. I'm so over the toxic, unrealistic shoujo trope of...

10

The female lead (the blonde villainess) is a strategic genius! She's probably got the tea on every noble in the empire, and she knows how to get them to show their own ugliness in public! I'm loving the plot so far--it really weaves really well, and it's even cooler since the plot is essentially driven by the former villainess' subtle scheming. I LOVE THIS.

Can't wait to see more updates.

7

Kinda not cool how the ML pressured the FL and made her think that she had forced him when really it seemed like the other way around. Ignoring that, the rest of the story is good.

4

Not sure why but I found this series really boring. It felt overly mushy and there were too many annoying misunderstandings that only served to further angst. I literally only kept reading to find out who all the wings are.

5

The art is really good. Lots of hot characters to oogle. But the plot is so ... dumb.

4.8

The bar has to be on the floor for this series to it. Glaring lack of logic, embarrassingly one-note FL, overly convenient plot line... The humor falls flat. The romance is underwhelming and not convincing. The art is par for the course with nothing special to it.

7

If you don't pay too much attention to the corny medical details, this story has some upsides. Having such a capable, kind, lovely, and smart heroine is such a breath of fresh air. Having no cat fights between different ladies is another plus. The series doesn't just end when the main pairing finally kiss. For once, the female character is anything but a crybaby, and crucial plot points don't fall...

6

The author definitely got the big picture down when it comes to the plot, but I don't think he/she has the skills to pull off the juicy dialogues that make the individual arcs exciting. Instead, this story feels more like an outline, not very fleshed out. Plot seemed forced, and arc resolutions appeared out of thin air deus ex machina style. The storytelling skills were just not there. I was not...

10

Life was miserable for me that day.... and I really needed to somebody to cheer me up...but no one was there for me...

So instead, I decided to read this series. I felt a lot better when i finished. The story is short and it's really nothing spectacular considering its length...but it delivers its message to the audience effectively.

Most importantly, it cheered me up after a horrible day! 🙂
I...

6.5

I've definitely been guilty of sympathizing with the tragic villains before, so I am pleased to see a story like this one. The female MC is kinda annoying, and I don't get why he fell so quickly for her, but otherwise this is a guilty pleasure read...

Characters: 6/10 Honestly, the primary driving force of this series is the Aseph Randell, the charming villain dude. Everyone else is bland...

7

This is pretty funny so far. Looking forward to more

5

This is an angsty melodramatic historical fantasy with laughably awful side characters that are clearly created to be hated. It makes for a great hate read. The frustration and anger you will feel will keep you clicking "next." The art is also pretty good.

But, if you get into the plot, you realize logic flies out the window in this series. Character motivations are not consistent. World building...

7

It's an interesting take on otome-isekai stuff. Instead of having a normal modern person reincarnating into the villainess role of a otome game, this series subverts our expectations by having a commoner girl Blanche mistakenly believe that a otome-harem novel published by the MC Yulia is actually about Blanche getting high status dudes falling for her. Blanche thinks she's the heroine of Yulia's ...

This is a simple story following a girl trying to become a better person despite her family's continued negligence. She learns to appreciate the people that cherish her instead of focusing on appeasing those who refuse to care for her. Nothing revolutionary, but the art is nice and I dig the character interactions.

6.4

Art: 8.5/10. I love the cute dress designs. While they are obviously too cutesy to truly resemble aristocratic european fashion, I loved the colorful flare in this manga's fashion that helped cement the fantasy vibe. The character designs are also unique from each other, with good facial expressions from start to finish.

Plot: 5/10 Modern girl transmigrating into fantasy isekai world and ending...

Plot: 4/10 -- Cliched contractual marriage plot, bad plot holes, all-around disappointing story elements
Art: 4/10 -- Her spaghetti noodle hair always looks stringy and greasy. Does the bish not know of shampoo.
Characters: 3/10 -- Lucia whines about getting into a loveless contractual marriage.... even though ** she ** proposes it knowing ML has no capacity for love. Like bish what?

I dropped...

Had a good first chapter. Rest is boring.

9

The fashion in this manhwa isn't the best, but the dresses, settings, and characters are still very colorful and vibrant. It's pleasing to the eye and remains consistent the entire time.

Okay but wow for once the MC doesn't just suddenly make a harem of her own right off the bat despite trying to avoid the crown prince/duke/whatever. She is just a minor character with lowly noble status, but she...

UPDATE: it's been a month since I've last read this series, and I've already forgotten most of the chapters...

This series unfortunately doesn't have the writing prowess to back up the business-focused plot. A lot of the details regarding politics and ing are replaced with empty speech bubbles to indicate a conversation. That's lazy writing. I actually would've enjoyed seeing the...

7

The MC is a bit clueless when it comes to piecing information together, and lacks common sense when it comes to protecting her advantages. However, the general story is really cute and funny despite the number of times I wanted to give the MC a shake-down. I'd recommend this to fans of otome-isekai

7

I love the kids and how our MC lovingly teaches them to be better despite looking like a kid herself. And the concepts in this story are refreshing and charming. I'm in love with how adorable everything is! Even then, there's still a background of suspense and tension due to the inherent grim fate our MC faced in her previous life. Her caution is really interesting to read about too.

Update:
So...

9

Although it's not spectacular yet, this story has been solidly entertaining. I love that the female lead is for once not a former assassin or school girl. Instead, we dive into the fantasy world created by a genius mad scientist lady and see everything from her POV. Obviously, I think more emphasis could've been placed on the side characters, but either way this is a mostly drama-free, easy, fun...

9

This story seems like it would have some cool fantasy adventure elements to it--- I'm liking this! Only on chapter 13 so far, but I'm invested and intrigued by the plot. The art is gorgeous and full of color, and the dialogue is spunky. This manhwa seems promising.

My summary:

Adele the orphan is adopted into dukedom as a replacement for the duke's lost daughter. In her first life, she is...

---

Pro:

  • wow for once it's actually a harem for the female lead! Polyamory wins! Love it when FL doesn't need to choose!
  • the gatcha system is pretty entertaining

Cons:

  • boring art
  • shallow themes about "beauty" that are restrictive and myopic
  • not enough smexy time with the harem
---

Is this the otome isekai version of f*cking Rugrats

10

I think of this whenever someone asks for a twisted love story guilty pleasure read. The toxicity is seriously unmatched.

10

Only on chapter 45, but wow I'm so immersed in this story. The two main characters are both mysterious, gorgeous, and adorable. Both are obviously burdened by their dark pasts, and somehow found solace in each other. There are also quite a few twists in this story--in general, I'm just loving this!

The story dips into topics on immortality, witchcraft, repentance, prejudice, and so much more.

Art:...

7

Being reincarnated into another body and having people curse your previous life for the fifteen years you were granted to live again.... That's tough....

The story is pretty decent, although the pacing is a bit fast and parts of it don't flow too well. Nonetheless, the characters' emotions are depicted very well. I'm loving this.

8.5

Wow our main character is kind of a psychopath due to her horrible childhood, but it's so satisfying to see her outwit everyone out to get her since age 14. This series features some of the best petty revenge victories. To be honest, while there is romance, it really isn't the main theme and takes up maybe 1/3. The other 2/3 is dedicated to the MC learning to revamp her image and using slyness...

6.5

Lol in this story there are multiple characters who reincarnated after they died back in Japan. The result is comical and obviously misunderstandings ensue. This is an easy read with cute art, and I look forward to more scenes of

the MC x her servant .

The servant is such a yandere cinnamon roll

4

The thing with yandere-fetish is that the girl always believes she can tailor a person's behavior to suit her morality. But realistically, would a obsessive/violent/crazy dude actually listen? I doubt it. Human habits aren't changed at the drop of a dime, hence the need for years of therapy after traumatic events. Someone driven to the deep end can't come back so easily with a simple smile and a...

6.8

The art is pretty good and I like that the story explores PTSD (tho not as educationally as I hoped), but I'm not the biggest fan of the ship that seems to be sailing

the guard and the MC . It's just a bit bland. Also, I read the free translation, which made it harder to enjoy the series without cringing at the bad translation issues. It's not even humorously bad. It's incomprehensibly bad...

5

The premise holds so much potential. A pair of telepathic fraternal twins thrown into a very misogynistic, hierarchic world sounds like the beginnings of a very intriguing and dramatic story. I would imagine a lot of sibling angst and eventual cuteness overload. But instead, what we get is a generic "bad childhood turns good" story without any attempt to explore the overarching world this story is...

3

I see why it got cancelled... it's so boring!

2

does good, fully consensual smut even exist? At this point I'm about to assume the vast majority of the smut authors have a friggin rape fetish. :-(

2/10 for the art. Otherwise, 0/10.

I gotta say I'm not super impressed with the fashion choices, which is like half the reason people read aristocratic isekai in the first place. For someone who is the future queen, Serena's clothes are too shabby/ugly/drab/boring. Overall, the dresses are poorly drawn and crudely designed. The attention to detail just isn't there. Mia looks terrible artistically speaking. All the...
