Rei-san's manga / #Slice of Life(452)

i really liked the childhood friend, i could see how sincere and loving he was towards the heroine from the very beginning in chapter 1 when he was only 6 years old<3 can't wait to see the divorce between the heroine and her husband true comments: 1- I really hope she sticks up for herself because right now I'm so annoyed that she's just being silent when people whisper about her or calls her a slut to her face, like tf. If that was me, I'd slap them across the face! I'm looking forward when he realises how wrong he is, hope he falls to the floor begging for forgiveness. 2- This is so damn frustrating!!!! 3- i’d fucking murder him. Let me join you ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~ you apparently have at least 35 people ready to help... 36 now let me join (╬╹◡╹)凸 raw novel link: https://ncode.syosetu.com/n9587ek/ spoilers: 1- Apparently the mean husband guy is gonna fall for the FL (and will eventually back her up) but ultimately, they're not going to end up together. She thinks of him as a brother, seven wasted years with that husband before the peaceful divorce. She's going to end up with the childhood friend guy mentioned in ch 1. 2- NOVEL SPOILERS, much better than you think! So it's revealed that the "angel" isn't even the mistress but just a girl that Hubert sees as a little sister (which is why he was so ANGRY when Opal mistook her for a mistress, but seriously wtf did he expect). Opal even dryly mentions that no sane legal wife would put up with a non-blood related girl buzzing around the husband with the support of the "ride or DIE for our OTP" servants & when Hubert has to remarry after the divorce, his fiancee is immediately like "get rid of her NOW". Hubert goes to Opal for advice on how to deal with this "overly headstrong" fiancee, but Opal's just like "why should I care, we have no relations with each other -sips tea-" Hubert: but we were married for 7 years. Opal: and now we're not. so again, why should I care about YOUR issues? PRE-DIVORCE: So Opal exiles herself to the attic to keep away from the obnoxious household staff (& Hubert) only to find during her readings that there is serious embezzlement going on in the duchy's finances. Hubert, being a colossal naive entitled only child, wholeheartedly believed in his staff & didn't check ANYTHING they sent him. Turns out one of them has serious gambling issues - even when Opal brings this up to Hubert (with evidence), he's just like "you're an evil villainous whore, you probably made all that up to steal from my finances & take it over, how dare you accuse my loyal servant!!!" Opal's just like "fuck this" & books it back to her parents' place, lays down what happened & they basically devise a simple plan to take over the duchy's finances in one blow so that Opal will now hold the power (since she can't divorce him - it'll just worsen her already horrible rep). So Opal has a document forged & smuggled over saying that all the moneys AND properties now belong to her. And Hubert signs it. Opal: "Btw if you kill me or if I die, it'll all just go to charity instead~". Hubert throws a tantrum but he's beaten down by her logic (& also because she has all the power) & he finally calms down enough that he starts working hard for 7 years until he's able to buy back all his territory from her piece by piece. He confesses to her that he fell in love with her & wants to marry her for real, but she rejects him. I think he said something sappy about their first dance at their wedding but all Opal could remember was the fact that he accused her of being a whore right afterwards. And she says that to him.:blob_patpat: POST-DIVORCE: So Hubert's been bumped up to a B- rank in terms of male leads & that's mostly because he actually denies the rumors still floating in high society of her being a whore & actually tried to do something about them - making clear what the reason of their divorce was for (aka it wasn't because she cheated on him). .....But later he gets jelly of her closeness with BFF & insinuates that she cheated on him & Opal's just like "why are you so disappointing....BFF's been out of the country for YEARS even before I married you." BFF's the exiled prince of a neighboring country (hiding out as a baron's son) so he went back to reclaim his homeland & also to be a worthy man of Opal (but rip, she got married before that could happen - he's still putting down civil unrest & antagonistic factions even 7 years later). He respects Opal 100%, but sadly his friends don't. They immediately believe the rumors of her being a whore & make comments to her why she's acting like she's not experienced with "those types of things" when she makes an offhand comment at a party they're all at. Opal straight up tells them (politely) to fuck off & that she doesn't care if they don't like her, she'll stay out of their way & vice versa. BFF shows up & he's pretty disappointed in his friends, especially since they were acquainted with her a bit before the party started. She might have dumped wine on them, I forget if she did. Anyway, later she heads to the foreign country with BFF to support him but gets kidnapped by an anti-BFF faction & they lock her in an attic for now, saying that they'll spread rumors (since she a slut) that she ran off with another man in order to shake BFF's conviction. Opal: how dumb do you think he is Bad guys: it doesn't matter if he believes it or not, other people will And that's where the raws end I think? With her stuck in the attic for now. Bonus with the maid who bullied Opal the most - she ends up being kicked out of Hubert's household for getting pregnant (Opal: ..... *even more disappointed in Hubert*). Hubert talks about it like it's all the maid's fault & Opal's just like *men never take responsibility for their actions.....he could at least tracked down the father & not just kicked her out immediately.....:facepalm:*. Turns out she was swindled by a nobleman's son who promised to make her his wife (he did this with a lot of women). Opal is running a women's shelter & is trying to push forward women's rights (since she knows what it's like to suffer from misogyny after being denounced a slut for defending herself against a would-be rapist), tracks down the maid & offers to take her & her bastard baby in to one of the shelters. Out of guilt (& some small bits of pride), the maid keeps refusing to impose on Opal until Opal's just like "listen I don't care about YOU, I care about your kid. You gonna let an innocent baby starve because of your incompetence?". Opal gets testimonies from the maid & other women while BFF is gathering other evidence (nobleman's son was connected to some major bandit attacks along a highway so this is 2 birds with 1 stone). Together they destroy him in public, have him arrested for both charges & Opal finally gets the maid to realize that her child's father was 100% lying the whole time. Maid finally accepts to be taken into the women's shelter & thanks Opal repeatedly

was surprised at first with who the actual seme was, then surprised too when i found how much the girlfriend of uke was fucked up :) does she even know what does sketchbook and paintings mean to it's artist?! she dare steel her boyfriend works, get credit for it AND mock his works to his face!!ヽ(`Д´)ﾉ(╯°Д °)╯╧╧ true comments: 1- The black haired guy and the ex are both whores. Tf man, the white haired guy should have told him to p off instead of going to bed with him. OMG... I am ANNOYED!

true comments: 1- Haha, the king's numerous reactions are hilarious, lol. 2- Alllright- this looks promising Very much agreed

i kinda liked chapter 2 ( since it's different in the end )/ 3 / 4. the extras to all the stories were adorable though

true comments: 1- A character who doesn't become a mindless murderer. i'm glad he didn't change after he killed that goblin. I've read way too many stories where they kill something, and all of a sudden their hesitation or thoughts on killing go out the window and they start mindlessly killing things, including humans (bandits, and such). I like it when characters actually think of the consequences, and maintain their ideals even reaffirming them after they've faced reality. I hope he doesn't suddenly go 180 when he grows up, and ends like all of the isekai characters, actually enjoying killing 2- why are all the girls so mad annoying though? Honestly, he should just take the chef and move out. right, that ain't peaceful to me. girls ain't that annoying in real life Tbh, I hate them all??? Like maybe the mom is okay cause she's his mom, but like even the maids???? They literally just take all his dreams and crush them??? I second this lol he can survive with Bartolo hah

unlike most readers who liked the story i didn't. i honestly felt it was blank plain canvas with pretty art but no feelings. i mean yeah it had a nice atmosphere with a happy ending but it was just boring i reeeeeeally didn't like or trust the seme too. he was creepily nice and always had a smile on his face. i kinda wanted a story with the bar owner mama ;)

aside from how the characters were breathtakingly beautiful as porcelain dolls i really adore everything about this manga<<333333333333333333 novel link: https://www.novelupdates.com/series/observation-record-of-a-self-proclaimed-villainess-fiance/

this is actually pretty interesting, it pointed to a lot of problems in a kinda realistic ways if monsters were to exist. my favorites monsters were definitely: the dragon family and especially the judge daughter <3 ( 1st ) the vampire family ( 2nd ) medusa ( 3rd )
