EMPOWERED WOMEN

The art is actually impeccable? The effort went into this manhwa is wild.
Haven't gotten too far in this yet, but MC is a badass and clever woman. We can tell she is calculating in order to remove herself from danger and gain power.

Honestly, this novel is kinda stereotypical but the art is so gorgeous.
: haven't gotten too far, but seems like this will be slow burn

MC is not empowered in the sense of political power and independence. She is very much stuck with her abusive family and their influence. However, she empowers herself by standing up even if she faces the consequences. She values her pride more than her safety and life. Interesting MC and interesting story.

: pretty romantic early on. ngl she needs a man to stand on her own so i would rec something else if you're not into that

Really enjoyed this story. The story portrays certain emotions and feelings really well for the reader. I felt the pain the MC and ML during their philosophical thoughts. I feel like the subtle symbolism really added to the story. MC personality is also really, really unique. Would read.

: becomes romance early on, but really enjoyed it. She's strong, but she's not super? independent (so move on if that's not your thing)

pretty cute, updates are really slow so after reading this I will probably read the novel. Pretty typical for MC to want to be a 'villain'. However, I love how she sees the consequences of nobility and life and tries to fix it. She isn't looking at the world with rose-tinted glasses, she sees brutal reality and necessary evil.
: most likely slow burn

National fighting champion dies saving a girl committing suicide. Soul is transferred(?) to the girl. Funny as hell and action packed. Looking forward to where the story is going in the future.

: No romance as of yet. There are a lot of people interested in MC as a girl, but I doubt actual romance will happen.

This girl is so strong literally everybody is terrified of her. She's the top of the men's fighting club and all the fighting dudes look up to her. Love this story, the romance between her and her childhood friend is really cute. All the side characters are really fleshed out as well.
Update: Wow! They actually finished! That's nuts

: Romance starts really early on and is the focus of the story. However, side stories are present. Romance also seems really natural.

For some reason I held off reading this story for a long time? I was actually kind of surprised that I enjoyed this story when I read it. Basically MC was wronged in both lives and after travelling to the past is determined to become a matriarch. The side characters have very fleshed out personalities and make this reading more enjoyable.

: ml is obvious, but I doubt romance will actually happen for a while though because MC will probably be young for SOOO many chapters

MC disguises herself as a man and becomes an expert swordsman. MC also becomes emperor's right hand man. Girl is strong af. Also surprised to see representations of LGBT relationships in this straight historical romance novel.
Was kinda annoyed how it became a fantasy to just romance, but oh well

: Not really romance in the beginning, but then A LOT of romance afterward. It goes from badass action and little romance to almost all romance, constant pining, and a n g s t.

Honestly just a chillax story. No deep plot, you just read about a girl running her cafe with special customers such as beastmen. Nice vibes all around. MC is definitely strong: she leaves everything behind including her bad past while forming bonds with strong spirits.

: basically beastmen love interests and eye candy for almost all chapters.

Pretty standard otome isekai plot. Title describes everything: "As A Result Of Breaking An Otome Game, The Villainess Young Lady Becomes A Cheat!". Included this as MC is magically strong.

: Some comments said this was incest? Thankfully it isn't. Capture targets are interested in her (platonic or romantic idk), but I'm pretty sure she is only interested in a side character.
