i mean it'll give you whiplash but its still worth a read
Definitely worth it
not really, the main character basically bounces around with some weird trauma in her past life that has nothing to do with the suppoused main theme of the webtoon, mixing stuff like mafia and the underground world with a super light tone so it can be used as convenient drama for the main character. The MC does not accomplish anything, everything is given to her and her lve interest's personality is just to be her bf, he doesn't have any atributes of his own. The art becomes lazier and lazier to a point were they photoshopped an iphone in someone's hand. Everybody is nasty to the mc without a valid reason than to be a bad guy and create drama. Is as generic as it gets, if you have time to kill go ahead, but if you are expectic a good story then read something like "I'm Not An Evil Antagonist Actress" is way better and more entretaining.
"I'm Not An Evil Antagonist Actress" has a shitty male lead that fits the role of "typical, cold, sadistic boyfriend" seen in many mangas. He has the personality of the abusive dude in A Queen's Return, but instead of being the obvious antagonist, he's supposed to be fawned over. The female lead there is not as determined and not as dominant as the female lead here. Yeah, she sometimes stands up to him, but she only does that using her "Villainess Mask" - something that she wants to get rid of. The FL here stands up to the ML all the time, to the point of having him wrapped around her finger, and she sees her imperious, dominant personality as a good part of herself. The FL in I'm Not An Evil Antagonist Actress does not see her dominant mask as a good thing, and her inner dialogue is reminiscent of the "'strong' female character who wants to be a cute, stereotypical, weak girl" trope. The MC in A Queen's return *does* accomplish many things. She wins many roles and achievements because of her ability in song and dance- nothing is given to her because "she simply exists". Her love interest has a personality - he's a sociable, charismatic, and is like a excitable puppy. He just isn't an arrogant asshole like the guy in "I'm Not An Evil Antagonist Actress".
@Iconicpies The advice I'll give is that you should take a read yourself, and make a judgement by your own conviction, as everyone has different opinions on everything. Everything is subjective, and so to tell if something is worth it or not, you should take a read yourself. If you like reading about (actually)strong female leads, this one is perfect for you.
The FL died after spending most of her life suffering to reincarnate and suffer again. The ML is not great but compared to her obsessive abusive ex the man is gold. Every other female character in the book hates her for breathing air. There is also a lot of unnecessary drama. However, it’s pretty entertaining. I can also appreciate the FL’s trauma and PTSD no being glossed over. Although, with the ML some things are kind of overlooked, but that might be due to his actions looking damn near innocent next to her ex’s. Which is promblematic within itself maybe? But understandable.
If it worth reading depends. I’m gonna take a break from it because the amount of suffering the author puts the MC through is ridiculous. What was the point in reincarnating? It’s becomes frustrating. “I’m Not An Evil Antagonist Actress” has more emotional payoff. I also prefer the ML there, too. While he’s no angel, I can appreciate the way the author builds his relationship up with the FL to a point where they’re comfortable around eachother and have a supportive relationship. Personally, I really like My Apprentice: Game over Again, Master Drifting Away Again, or Cheating Men Must Die. All have Female MC’s, but while they contain romance it’s not the focus.
Omg I love Cheating Men Must Die! Do you know more titles similar to that?
“Cheating Men Must Die” is pretty unique because while there are other system manhua, none of them portray a MC that is mainly there to solve issues and move on. Usually they take on their life there. Except for one (that I know of), but it a BL. It’s called, Supporting Actor’s Survival Game.
I read 20 chaps and it's a heavy read so I dropped
Worth to read or nah?
