dianxianini's manga / #Reincarnation(3)

3.5 stars This is probably one of the bestest historical bl fantasies Ive ever read. I love the world-building, the political scheming and most of the characters are interesting. I adore Levenoad Von Strahss—hes smart, cunning, beautiful, ethereal, powerful, elegant and him as the reincarnated Ray is also a fvkng badass. Despite his amazing strategic nature, I love how he also acknowledges his mistakes and owns up to them. He might be hard-headed at times but hes also a lowkey softie. El Jiskar Fascher is the kind of toxic ML I want to be served as a main course—I love how unhinged and obsessed and possessive he is—hes willing to even dug his heart out for his beloved Ray and turned into a madman when MC ran away damn I eat this shit. Hes down bad that he’s basically the real slave between them from the moment they first met as crown princes, it’s Ray who owned Jiskar and not the other way around. I just dont like the age gap and their smexy scenes are quite uncomfortable to read. How I wish Ray could have been a little older or the same age as Levenoad. The pacing at the later chapters seems a bit rush and I was actually hoping for an arc wherein theres gonna be confrontation between Ray and the people from his homeland though the story still managed to make the conclusion quite satisfying. This is a good and entertaining read.

Imagine your first life living in the entertainment industry and it was a mess and then you were given a second chance to reincarnate to your ‘supposed original body/life’. Basically MC’s failure in life was due to the fact that he’d been in the wrong body all this time. However, someone else has been living in his supposed real body so even though it is an intriguing concept, it is unfair too to the other person/soul. The characters’ visuals are good and I kinda like their group dynamic

I love this. I love Hikaru and Takao. They’re adorable and wholesome and their love story makes my heart melt. Takao is a whole green forest and hes loyal to a fault. Hikaru is just too adorable. I want more of their love story. Somehow, this reminds me of the book My Name is Memory by ann brashares
