(ch12) (i'll edit my review if i realize there's romance in the future) BUT HOLY SHIT LMAOO okay. i didn't read this at first bc i thought it was gonna be like,,, lowkey weird, BUT THIS IS STRAIGHT UP A CRACK COMEDY LIKE WTF IS THIS TYPE OF HUMOR LOL. mc is straight up unhinged, and all the guys/MLs she run into are lowkey just friends. like her sudden fiance is seemingly purely platonic, and i literally can NOT predict what's happening next
read this a hot minute ago, completely forgot about it. but i LOVE actress sera. doesn't seem like a romance plot at all, and i'm all here for it. TL dropped it though, but i don't think the actual manhwa artist/writer did.
LOL I LOVE HER ATTITUDE TO SO MUCH!? also author just goes episodic "well, it iz what it is" and just has her do everything. like damn performing dental surgery to her realizing her pet cat was once king of the mountains, and she cut off his balls RIP
(ch17) the romance with MC here is so slapstick is it even romance. ALSO the cast feels like real siblings. like the bros aren't weirdly obsessed with their one female family member in a disgustingly possessive way. ALSO THE FRIENDS OR SUPPORTING CAST ARE FUCKING HILARIOUS RIP. also MC is terrifying i love her so much omg
ignore the ecchi tag- it's only for ch1. mc is a materialistic, nasty ass bitch with a demanding temper, and i love her. she's calculative and pragmatic, and will beat people up not for the victims, but because she simply hates their behaviorisms, but in turn she will actively help out those victims for the sake of her own hedonistic feelings. this story also has a lot of mentions of domestic abuse, misogyny, and women empowerment in the most violent form possible. reminds me of su luxia, tbh
(has a romantic interest) but i'm more curious in this due to the worldbuilding. not only is transmigration dealings are considered to be like an afterlife sales offer and has packages, deals, a bureau, but the world our MC deals with includes a LOT of very similar qualities to an adventure novel. like dungeon breaks, monsters, skill ranks, etc. so i really like this so far. also, MC's cast of characters is really cute. like i really like her dad, bianca, and brother.

Omg thank you so so sosososo much for this list!!! I found so many new titles to check out. Istg, girl protags in Shounen type stories or ANY other types of male dominated stories are just SUCH a breath of fresh air
Also, I have some recommendations for titles that could be added to this list ;))))))
Starting off with one of my favorites:
The Last Golden Child, this one is basically like a Shounen action-fantasy adventure story except the protagonist is a girl. She starts off weak but progressively gets stronger and there's absolutely no shortage of strong and powerful female characters in this one. Also, no romance at all. MC develops very nicely, tho I can't say she's the brightest of the bunch lol.
All in all, a solid 8/10 read, will make you cry multiple times.
Fray, also a grittier Shounen type story, but with no shortage of female characters. Like seriously, all the girls are badass as f**k, no matter which side they're on. MC is ruthless to her enemies and isn't afraid to get brutal. I highly recommend this one!
I Became A Legendary Archmage By Reading A Book, there's two protagonists in this, one girl and one boy. I haven't read far enough in to know for sure but it doesn't seem like there's gonna be any romance? Anyway, magical academy setting with lots of action and power ups, girl MC is neither sexualized nor exists only to make the boy MC shine. They work together very nicely in fact, plus their mentor is hilarious lol. All characters in this are very competent and cool.
Side Characters Deserve Love Too, I'm ngl this is on the exact same level of crack comedy as Touch My Little Brother And You're Dead!, protagonist is just unhinged for her favorite character in the story she's transmigrated in. Starts off working as a humble stable boy (she cross dresses A LOT), and slowly becomes a powerful swordmaster later on all to protect her fave from dying. I super recommend this one, it's a real treat to read!
Wow this got long lol
ty for the list i really hope u will add more soon
youre so funny also thank u for this list girlypop
awesome list
heyy! i really like this list and i found a bunch of really good mangas cuz of this list. Just wanted to point that the mc of 'Hen Na Le' is actually a dude. The mangaka just draws him like really pretty ig lol. There's a live action for this manga and it's mc is a dude. I haven't read the og novel but if you check the wiki it says that the mc is a dude. Just thought I'd let you knowヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~
omg wait i never noticed LOLLL that's so funny. thanks for lmk. for some reason the fact that i just NEVER picked up on the fact that MC was a dude is so hilarious to me, that im going to leave it in this list with an edit stating my mistake.
