female leads who get shit done

— after herself and her family previously died at the hands of the crown prince, larriete finding herself given a second chance works hard to save her and her family from facing the same fate as before, and learns some new information about her past death along the way.

- actually haven't read yet but heard such good things I thought I'd add it to this list as well, slow burn though so I assume shit gets down a lil well slower then the other stories here.

— stuck inside the body of a villainess in a game she played, penelope has to work hard with well with a system in order to not only survive but free herself from this dangerous fictional world.

- also haven't read yet but very very good reviews and I've skimmed chapters, definitely belongs on this list, fl is insanely dedicated and interesting.

— after finding herself possessing the body of a young neglected and outcatsed girl pave closieux decides she will enact revenge against those she once protected for the sake of the young betrayed guinadella.

‐ very unique of the author to allow both pave and guinadella to control the body and seeing everything happening without controlling it.

— after finding herself in the body of a doomed villainess jung yuna works hard to change her fate and live a successful life, however she isn't the only one from her world that have found themself in the novel.

- this girl works.. alot. she's never not doing something or planning something, and the ml isn't any different either, she's very cut throat along with the ml.

— after possessing the body of a neglected noble wife from a story, tareia goes straight to work in divorcing her cheating husband and avoiding her initial downfall and suffering, however her ex-husband's neglect has turned into obessesion.

- speedy divorce and smart fl, I'm interested in seeing how the rest of the story goes as everything seems to be alot more delicate then the way fl assumes.

— returning to the past with a chance to resolve and get revenge on her cheating husband and family who stole her lively hood ariana makes a daring decision to change husband's and take back her music.

- it's a bit of a cliche and I'm not entirely fond of the characters, but fl is fairly brutal and straight forward with her revenge which is amusing.

— after brutally dying despite devoting her life to her boss our lead finds herself in the past and in the body of a relative of her murderous boss, this time aerin will make sure she doesn't die in vain and survives this harsh family.

- fl is very capable and although in a tough spot she's quick to acquire what she needs and sets up a fair survival plan, her past life was super useful as she worked for the guy trying to impend her downfall so she has the upperhand.

— after dying multiple times at the hands of a young boy that her family had wronged, lila struggles to figure out a proper solution to her situation, finally after many deaths she finds she'll try to gain the boys favor and raise him well so she can escape death.

- time loop situations like this always interest me but this story does it much better then others by giving us the perspective of the ml as well, fl is very very determined and so is ml.

— after waking up and finding herself in the body of a villainess from a novel she once read, lady charlize is desperate to survive the novel's events, but after deviating from the plot and moving to the countryside she finds herself pulled back in when she stumbles upon the male leads nephew.

- she wants to avoid the plot like any other female lead and unlike others she actually managed to leave noble society behind and get away at first, I hope she keeps her original ideals.
