Whole family falsely accused and executed by crazy Emperor. Rewind back and choose to become his maid when he was still hidden as Princess for their survival.
Smart MC (love that she cursed at ML before dying), cliché overbearing because mistreated ML (travesty as girl during childhood). Not my type ML (mean Tsundere) but I enjoy the approach of how MC cope between her grudge and the need to survive. Lots of people ship the 2nd maid (Tory) with Mc, me included xD (shame it's not Yuri )
Maou secretly wish for death. When she found human survivors, she "kidnapped" one on a whim to make him the knight who'll kill her.
OP FL with understandable trust issue. King duty became burden. Innocent ML but can mysteriously withstand her power. It's like a moody cat and her cute doggy. Love the concept! Hope he will manage to teach her happiness and give her the will to live (with him) and she'll come to understand that his care for her is genuine.
In heroes heaven, prince soul (during coma) received hellish training by all of them for thousands of years. Now he's finally back in his body and ready to get revenge!
Nonchalant OP MC hiding his strength. Was labeled "half-crazy with weird common sense" by a goddess xD. Basically a "how to mock those that fuck up with me" type of story. I like this kind of my-own-space MC. An enjoyable cliché well except ;)
Son of pro gamer and policewoman joined game to look for his missing dad. But people who joined are actually unconscious irl and have to complete the game.
Just started but quite interesting. Beginner, so not strong but smart MC. Harsh reality world but not heavy either. On the contrary it gives a kind of mystery, eerie and light vibe. Makes me very curious of where it'll go.
Monsters appeared while players of specific game all disappeared. Reappeared in batches after they died in game world and now protect humanity. The last and only to hit level max player finally's back on earth.
Basically he solo defeated Maou but it was an illusion so he returned with cheats as he technically completed the game but frustrated AF. Trouble maker (in a smart way?) and overbearing OP MC. Kinda plan to conquest earth (in order to properly face Maou). Neither bad nor good.
Poor duke daughter can see people aura. Was unexpectedly choosen to be 3rd Prince bride candidate but... His aura so bright it blinds her?!
That the 4 other candidates dote on MC and she couldn't look at ML was funny. Good instinct MC but ended up pushover. ML piss me off too much, cliché "teasing" Prince. Clearly the romance is the most unnatural part for me.
1st chapters were funny but then they had to trick/ force her to work for ML... and urrff. Anyway might drop
Maid pulled out the holy sword by accident, since then only trouble: Was spotted by the Prince when she tried to put it back ended up running away. Her sick brother awoken as Maou reincarnation?! And his subordinates are popping out every time his overtaken by dark emptions.
Love the plot, Dislike several characters (like the demon cat). Kuudere ML (I like him). I'll try to stay and see but this story favor is dropping for me... main reason? MC turned from funny independent to pushover.
The manager of the "library of the end" and an apprentice witch of the "village of the beginning" met one day though a mirror, starting an unusual friendship, helping the hero together while both being stuck where they are...
Love this. A story mixing both hope and melancholia. Mc (librarian) can't remember his past before the library. Happy brave witch. Both have a form of nostalgia so they can understand each other. Entertaining and intriguing! Wonder how they'll all grow.
Teacher was teleported in another world and have to leave there. With the help of her fairies friends, let's open an apothecary!
Baby face MC. C1 only. Seems classical cute and naive fairytale shojo for now
Farm boy reborn as the 13th Prince. Story of how he became the Emperor.
Straight face MC. Classical smart and stoic hero like attitude. C1.3 only seems the usual OP kid on the path to leadership for now.
Might become harem??
