The Duchess of the Attic

Ongoing | mori,aoi fuyuko; hayashi maki | 2000 released

Our poor fl marries an idiot and irons out the issues in his territory as best as she can while he's drinking tea with his childhood friend. Really hope this is continued, I can't wait to see FL clean up the Duke's mansion and attitude, as well as showing these other bastards who's the real boss.

The Villainess is a Marionette

Ongoing | Han Yi Rim,Mangle | 2021 released

97/ This is a power fantasy and not a bad one either. With that said, I think it's a bit overrated. The art is carrying hard here, and while the story has it's moments the plotpoints are sometimes poorly executed or translated. Stuff gets so lost in the sauce. Like it's so hard to understand how the hell FLs magic powers even work, why she bothered with that magic knowing it could nuke her lifespan, etc. I personally just do not like the magic system or its existence here, I found it utterly useless for the overall story. FL barely gains anything useful out of it in hindsight at the cost of years off her own life.

I Became the Hero's Mom

Ongoing | Go Eun Chae,엉쓰 | 2020 released

A downright cringy stan reincarnates in another world, the world of her favorite novel containing her beloved 2D bias. You think you know how this is gonna go. But you don't. I would volunteer to read this twice in a row ngl. The story starts off with FL being a simpleton, slowly unveiling the unseen mysteries behind the novel she read, classic right? But despite following some cliches it incorporates greek mythology and overall commits hard not only to its lore but the characters too. It had this gradual descent into some serious world-ending level plot that barely any shoujo manhwa manages to pull off gracefully.
