STRONG MC

MC is the only daughter and inheritor of a ducal house....until the day when another girl shows up, claiming she is the true heir, and the MC a fake. Eventually, the MC is executed, only to wake up a few years in the past.

MC can be a bit dumb and naive at times, but overall I like where this is going, and it gets better the further I read. MC also has a few schemes of her own. Looking forward to reading more!

MC suddenly finds herself in the body of an otome game hard-mode MC, who was the villain of that game’s easy mode. The only problem is, our MC never cleared any of the hard-mode routes without dying....

Better than I expected. If you read this, get to chapter 7 before you decide. MC is quite clever, aside from her occasional dumb mistake for the sake of the plot. It’s fast paced, and not too fluffy on the romance, for now. Excited to see where this goes!

MC is the prince of a fallen kingdom, destined to become a plaything for the countries in power. Then one day, he makes a desperate plea to the empress of the north....

Basically, a typical romance story, but with the gender roles reversed. The magic is fairly subtle, and the MC’s narrative has a quiet yet humorous feel. The storytelling is quite clever, and the plot is fairly fast-paced. For anyone interested in a proper ‘strong female lead’, I highly recommend at least trying it? Enjoy!

MC is the younger sister to the empress, but the emperor loves his mistress instead. Ultimately, the mistress wins and their entire family is executed. That is, until the MC wakes up years in the past and takes her sister’s place as empress....

Clever, capable MC. I don’t like how she gets into minor ‘cat fights’ sometimes, but otherwise a good story with minimal romance (yet). Translations aren’t always clear, but many thanks to the translators for trying! (They get better too.) Enjoy!

Villainess MC is the daughter of a Marquesse - the emperor’s lover. She spends her whole life manipulating events until her brother succeeds the emperor’s throne, only to find herself betrayed and on trial for many horrible crimes - acts not too different from those she actually committed. Then she returns to the past.

Wow. Much, much better than I anticipated. MC is clever, careful, and brilliant at plotting things. Minor romance and very well-laid out plot, this is excellent. Happy reading!

MC is the princess of a conquered kingdom....living as a maid. Then one day she gains extraordinary skill in cooking, seamstressing, etc. - anything she needs. Only, her newfound abilities start attracting the powerful prince regent’s attention....

This was cute and fast paced for a slow-burn romance-style story. MC remains a maid for a while, making the story more interesting. It reads like a fairytale: things just happen - without good reason - but it gets better as it progresses. Enjoy!

A forgotten princess, the MC has prophetic dreams that let her change her future, only....they’re very few of them, and they last....for years. Then she has one about an arranged marriage to an old, abusive noble.

Funny, interesting, good story, and some nice slice-of-life scenes, but the characters’ actions aren’t always justified, and the MC is supposed to be more world-wise than she sometimes acts. A bit too fluffy, and significantly more 18+ than necessary for me? Anyway, happy reading!

MC, caught in a life-long rivalry with another nobleman’s daughter, discovers a book that talks about the prince’s closely held secret. Only, in the book, the prince eventually marries that very rival?!

A really clever setup, but not executed very well? The author creates brilliant openings for some unusual dialogue, but then still makes the lines cliché instead. The characters (particularly the MC) sometimes act really stupid, too. But still, give it a try if it sounds interesting to you!

MC is a CS game engineer (something like VRMMO). Only, on the day she launches her new product, she enters the world she designed herself....and becomes trapped?! So she decides to make the best of living in the world she created....

Clever and funny, with good plot and a smart MC. It’s a lighthearted read, but it just keeps getting more interesting, and I wanna figure out the world-secrets! Also a strong and relatable female MC. Definitely recommend!

MC is a powerful magician, sent to high school for the first time to look after a bullied young lord. Only, he’s never been one for following conventional rules....

Really good. This is one of my favorite classics. MC is strong and intelligent, but also gets into some crazy scenarios. The plot is well-laid out, interesting, and a really funny read (but also serious when it needs to be). Enjoy!
