tbh this is more enjoyable if you straight up ignore a lot of the story's premise lol.
I also would like to see it without the reincarnation plot device, it really adds nothing. I'd argue it even worsens the story since the reincarnated FL doesn't know much more than the original anyway...
idk if its just a poorly executed trope but this is nonsensical to me. the whole premise is that a girl (the 'original') has been so emotionally neglected and ridiculed for 18(?)+ years, to the point where it became a personality disorder.
but then comes Reincarnated FL and the father...
lmao what even is this anymore. how do u fall asleep on a bench like that
and totally agree with @bugonia, this felt so...contrived? it was weird and out of nowhere
this guy's ONE character trait is being a douchebag, so i guess he is just COMPELLED to bully complete strangers... but also he...
was there a reason Ria doesn't seem to see game notifications anymore/was it ever brought up? its been so long i don't remember
also Ettsen says Yuriel has changed, so I'm guessing that this Yuriel isn't the "original" either, and is maybe even the evil princess who switched bodies bc she was...
so relieved that this isn't yuri (between the sisters). lol at the nasty dudes in the comments crying about their incest/wlw fetish, fuckin gross.
the only romance I'd want is one between the mercenary and a lady she promises to protect as a mercenary escort. supremely unlikely but what IF
I wish her hair wasn't like...uhh...overgrown mullet...? lmao
other than that is very cute. hope he drops the tsundere act soon, we need more men who fawn over their ladies 😖
god they're cute 😭 Koiwai is a whole ass mood, the gay anxiety's so real
in response to the comments: yeah josei is a demographic, not genre. so while the target reader may be 18+ yr old women, that doesn't necessarily mean the main character will be an 18+ yr old woman. definitely seen a lot...
@HappyBanana I'm definitely not the only commenter who picked up some hints of yaoi. also why i said undertones.
idk if its just meant to be eye candy for the reader, but the way the 'aged up' parts are framed come off as a little sus even if its unintentional.
also I looked up the artist, they...
why is it just glossing over the fact that she was poisoned?? as in, premeditated murder? of an EMPRESS??
is it trying to say that he murdered her? or that no one gives a shit enough to investigate? or did the author just need an easy death scene and not bother to make it make sense
why doesn't she just stay at home then?? clearly the duke doesnt want her there and no one would care if she was gone. and f*ck the ledger lol, if he can't even manage his own house then let the idiot's bank bleed dry
i agree that her personality's done a 180 way too fast. i get that she was sheltered but this is a bit much...she wasn't an idiot. if anything she should be even more wary of people being two faced, considering that kind of person literally already killed her
also side note, why isn't anyone...
i find it hilarious that this first chapter is so universally agreed upon to be dogshit that it is duly noted in the title to be skipped
the editors of this anthology really uh...started off with a bang
