Even Monsters Like Fairytales

• Genres: Shoujo / Fantasy / Romance / Villainess Fantasy Romance Villainess

it has such a basic villainess plot but there is something so mystical about the combination of the pacing, the focus on stories, the cross-hatching, the composition, the environments… it has such a dark and whimsical mood about it, like a traditionally violent fairy tale! i wish i discovered a bit later so i didn’t have to make do with like 5 chapters lol im so curious about how it’s going to develop

2/5

pros/
+ main chara is so pretty and her powers are cool
+ everyones powers are like pretty fun in a shounen kinda way

cons/
+ the tone is so weird like it feels so crazy that theres so much shounen-esque violence in a lords and ladies setting LMAO like i feel like if u wanted to give ur charas cool powers… the setting should match?
+ political schemes and sibling rivalry was a little silly and the romance didnt have chemistry lols

ongoing. romance fantasy, drama, regression

oriana has gone back in time after dying together with her lover, but her love doesn’t remember her in this new life. my favorite thing about this manga is how it conveys oriana’s turmoil - she reaches to the moon, wanting him to comfort her, knowing that version of him is gone forever. seeing his face every day anyways. meanwhile, he realizes that she’s trying to save a different version of him, that she’s pining after his ghost. my fav angst! 8/10

4/5

pros/
+ a girl travels back in time after dying mysteriously with her lover. in this new life, her love doesn’t remember her even as she desperately devotes her life to preventing his death
+ lov the space and composition of some of these illustrations!! so gorgeously conveys this sense of loneliness
+ what a complicated relationship.. the male lead realizing that she pines for his ghost, his former self. it’s so painful and awesome

cons/
+ why is it only 8 chapters long. pain

4/5

pros/
+ a typical regression story where mc goes back in time, but it has a lot of tension bc mc is an unreliable narrator who kept ignorant in her first life
+ i really like the politics of this one and the mc’s backstory was such a well-earned twist
+ male lead is so tortured and #real and i like their dynamic… his devotion to her in the back half is very earned
+ im just impressed that its so full of regression cliches but honestly it works

cons/
+ pacing can b a lil weird lol

reirin is a sickly girl who is beloved by all in the court. fueled by jealousy, her rival, keigetsu, switches their bodies through magic! such a fresh take on the villainess genre! it has such a lighthearted and funny tone, yet it still tackles the interesting theme of what women are pushed to do when they are under the scrutiny of the court. a tale of friendships within the viciousness of court and the mc’s endless gratitude for life!! 10/10

5/5

pros/
+ “the competition between women within these walls pushes them to the edge of their composure.” i love the nuanced portrayal of complicated relationships within women when they are pitted against each other!!
+ what a refreshing take on the villainess genre - the sickly heroine is actually grateful to the villainess for swapping their bodies bc she gets to feel healthy for once lol
+ genuinely so cute and so funny
+ the politics are interesting!!

cons/
+ too short!!!

3/5

pros/
+ main chara is genuinely evil LMAO i love her schemes and her charisma and that she bonds w male lead through being evil
+ schemes were fun and plot was easy 2 understand without it being boring

cons/
+ some vaguely racist tropes used… like only the brown character is able to use such brutal magic. it’s not framed as bad but i find it questionable
+ nsfw scenes are a lil gratuitous LMAO like they barely serve the plot and are also not very sensual. like wats the point

a lot of info in the first chapter… like she’s an actress, she’s kind, she can see ghosts, and she’s been having constant dreams of a woman dying brutally. it’ll b interesting to see how the story juggles all of these elements. premise somewhat reminds me of secret lady!

1/5

pros/
+ the bantering dynamic between the leads is sometimes funny i guess

cons/
+ i’m shocked that this has a 9.7 as of reading… the main plot point is that the leads are together bc they balance each other’s…….. pheromones
+ i’m not even anti-furry but cmon its just silly. and their bantering about a carnivore vs a herbivore is so tired like zootopia did it better
+ ml wishes he had as much charisma as nick wilde LOL he’s so bland im sorry
+ plot is forgettable!

3/5

pros/

+ the mystery aspect behind the game mechanics is interesting!
+ main chara is such a sweetie lol i like how composed she is even w the shittiest hand of cards ever

cons/
+ the family abuse felt a lil crazy like what do u mean ur maid beats u… Woah

3/5

pros/
+ a cute mother/daughter relationship where the main chara uses her previous life’s sewing skills to dote on her daughter! such a cute premise
+ fashion is genuinely cute and thought out
+ male lead feels like a real chara and has a lot of reasons why he has Classic Black-Haired Lead Stoic Syndrome

cons/

+ no real themes, which surprised me since it is so obviously based off snow white

2/5

pros/

+ i really like the translation lol? they speak very formally and eloquently
+ the art is solid!!

cons/

+ weird cousin vibe
+ the plot is just silly and convoluted LOL
