I Became the Wife of the Male Lead
8.5/10 I’m not much for author-gets-trucked-into-their-own-universe plots so I guess I’m biased here. But the ML is wonderful tho.
Plot: author gets isekaied into her own basic shojo fantasy plot, only she had casually made it an angst fest and she now must witness the trauma of her characters. Interesting premise!! Decent execution! Honestly idk how they managed to make child soldiers a point of commentary but SURE! Have at it.
My only gripe is FL is too OP. Means most of the stakes don’t feel threatening and all conflict scenes seem a little bit trivial.
Also Abel is my favorite character. Love a man who holds his daughter and stomps on a dick like a worm on a wet sidewalk. Squish.
Daisy(Lisabel)
8/10 for quality but 10/10 for enjoyment. Summary: daisy lives the abuse timeline, is murdered, goes back in time to before shit really hit the fan, and turns it all around through strategic butterfly effects.
ML is another guy named Killian. Why is every other ML named Killin??
I love FL. She is so competent. And I love their relationship. They communicate pretty well and have a great friendship where they’re bother gloriously in denial of feelings.
I’m not sure where all of FL’s character development came from tbh. She just woke up, shook off 8 years of abuse, and proceeded to girlboss just close enough to the sun to cook her enemies. Like, I love that for her. I also don’t know where it came from? But eh I don’t care really this is a good escapism time.
Also highkey I ship the murder butler and the fashion twink
Lady to Queen
Solidly 7.5/10. A good time. Would be better if the ML was even slightly desirable. Alas, he is less interesting than a rotting plum, and less delicious too.
FL lives the timeline where her sister marries the monarch, wants to find love, but he has a mistress and the mistress has a bunch of sway over him and she ruins FL’s family and mistress also frames sister for treason and the whole family dies yada yada. FL goes back in time to before sister was going to meet the monarch (I legit can’t remember if he’s king or emperor. I think emperor. Whatever) and FL goes in sisters place bc she has no illusion about this being a loveless marriage and she already knows to watch out for The Mistress. FL is a girl boss. I love watcher her succeed and scheme and succeed. ML is pretty uncompelling, though. He’s not even hot. He’s just some horny boi who wants to keep his dink wet. Honestly I’m just writing this comment to insult the ML. Why won’t the FL just have an affair with her beautiful and loyal lady knight? This is beyond science.
