This would be so much better if it didn't insist on using and abusing the "surprise, the villain is actually beloved by many" trope.
The brother's dialogue must be mistranslated or smth. There is one pov of his where he's being way too incesty with his affection - at least I hope it is a mistranslation. The conspiracy guy too is over the top, like why does everything have to boil down to the bare bones that is Isabelle being so lovable, actually, but nobody tells her.
It just invalidates the og Isabelle, yk what I mean? The manga established well how much of a loss it is, the tragedy of too little too late and what not, but at the same time is getting caught up in the trope and overstaying its welcome.
This does have a good twist or two though, and I enjoyed the yearning. I hope they do something interesting with the crown prince.
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
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
