Please spoil me a little here.
I just started reading this, I'm like at chapter 4 and pulled the emergency brakes when I read what is def not gonna be a love interest (sarcasm) say "she reminds me of *her".
I'm very jaded when it comes to a lot of romance reincarnation tropes so please tell me how hard this one is commiting to the theatrics instead of trying to be vaguely original or at least well written-
from what I’ve heard other people who read the novel say was that there is romance but it’s not the main focus of the story. currently at chapter 30, we had no interactions with that guy or other guys so far
but apparently there is so keep that in mind
thanks, I meant more so of like the usual reincarnation into another body tropes. Like, she's split between her old and new life, and struggling with the burden of her revenge against the people she learnt to love in this new life. How coincidentally everyone in her old life eventually meets her and thinks "damn wow, she's just like that woman" and so on. Whether that is done at all, and done well if yes.
ISTG what was this reincarnation shoujo where FL is this skinny kinda sickly white haired girl that's a complete stalker of a child ML, and she ends up dating his brother. The story updated not that long ago and it evolved into some very good greek inspired plot shenanigens. I cannot find the title but istg it's something like your usual "I became the ML's xyz". Release me from this pain, I beg.

THANK YOU, that's exactly it you're right
you're welcomeee, the story is soooo good
I need recommendations for good shoujo stories, idc if it's manwha, manga or whatever. Like I need the good stuff that actually does the cliches well, or at least is being subversive instead of the same cheap op Mary Sue type shit that starts off decent only to burn and crash straight towards hell the moment chapter 2 is done with.

hell yea x2
This story does its 9/5 and does a good job for being in the niche that it is but there's not much beyond that if you ask me. Put aside how clearly the manhwa had to trim a lot of fat and skip scenes from the novel (havent read it, its just that obvious).
It's a power fantasy, and pretends like it's trying to liberate FL while in reality she's in the palm of ML's hand basically the whole time. Like, we're not really trying to deal with the implications of that, and just indulging in the power fantasy of having this OP god-like Ken doll be down bad for her while outrizzing all her other men. It's a bit of a shame imo, but as I said it is what it is. It accomplishes what it's trying to achieve.
There are also some inconsistencies that come about from the manhwa rushing so much, especially at the end. The final happy end doesn't feel as satisfying bc of it and leaves some questions.
Like why was the demon set free to begin with? If both his halves were sealed, how come he was able to do the whole monster under the bed thing? What happened to the egg? Lowkey I was thinking FL would adopt the child, and do her best to raise them well as an act of absolution but also a final vengeance where she's responsible for the last remnant of her nemisis, and make them a good person despite how cursed their origins are.
There is also so little about ML's life and what he really went through, which doesn't help the op ken doll accusations lmao. Also, also don't understand how the green tea bitch was so convinced that her child would get 3 wishes too which she could just hijack or smth???
Anyway, you get the gist.
