Elli_Wate's manga / #Royalty/Nobility(29)

This was such a long book. I started reading the book a while ago and then I stopped and then I restarted it and then I stopped and I finally finally finished it. I kind of liked the book at the beginning. It was a little confusing, but once we got the stride, I was like I like this book. I remember not liking it around the part where Alan started acting a little raggedy so I had stopped. I wanted to stop both of the former times around that part. But this time I pushed through and I finished the book. I was a little disappointed with some of the plots. I felt like they were just kind of thrown together and some of the people weren’t as important as they were made to seem. That or some of the people were important and then they just like disappeared all of a sudden so, yeah. But as far as the ending, it was kind of drawn out. Which is weird to say because the plot towards the end was so confusing. Granted I was kind of skipping some parts, but it was just like descriptive scenery things that really didn’t need to be read. It was when they started introducing all of these new aristocrats and all of the stuff I just started getting confused and I was like who is this and who’s that and I was like I don’t even know who is involved anymore. The point of the matter is is that it really could’ve ended, but it was also so thrown together. I think that the writers genuinely stopped understanding what was going on. They were drawing out so much. The writers got confused and I was like me too. So yeah, but it was a cute little book. As far as the leading couple- I am going to say that the leading lady and the leading man kept having the same conversation about her wanting to get married or her wanting to be the heir of her household, and that was annoying. But other than that, I liked most of the characters and I don’t think I would read it again, but I’m happy that I finished it.

I ended up reading this twice because I thought I hadn’t read the first time but yes I had or I thought I hadn’t finished it the first time. So it’s basically about this girl who gets into an arrange marriage with the prince/Duke of the country and her dad had arrange the marriage for her, but the leading man hates her because he hates her dad. so in an effort to get rid of her, he tries to divorce her, and because she won’t divorce him, he starts cutting off her food and money supplies very much, so an active war. To help out her made who is the only person left in her palace or her wing or whatever, she decides to sign the divorce as long as she can have an affair until the divorce is finalized. The man is like fine. You can sleep with somebody. She’s like cool. So she signs the papers they get the money. She’s super happy because she wants to experience somewhat of an affair of love before she gets again because she’s from or whatever women are sold as property and she knows that her dad‘s gonna sell her as soon as she gets back to, her house. So before her next marriage, where she may not be so lucky, she ends up sleeping with his gigolo and having a grand old time come to find out the gigolo is her husband who just wears a mask. So she doesn’t know that it’s him, but he obviously knows that it’s her and he’s having a grand old time seeing her reactions and stuff and she’s like I don’t care who it is as long as I get to sleep with them if they’ve got what I need then I’m gonna go where I need to get it. But for some reason, it’s starting to feel very possessive and is like Anna. You should only sleep with the one Cho or whatever. She moves out of the house and end up going to a smaller house or something like that is having the time of her life with her gigolo/husband and she finds out that it’s her husband. So then she sleeps with him one last time reveals that she knew that it was him and then she just disappears . Oh also, she had gotten sick in between that time and her dad had came to get her because the divorce was finalized but because she was so sick he was like this is so annoying. She’s gonna die whatever I’ll get her body when she dies and that’ll be that. But she doesn’t end up dying, obviously of course, and she runs away Because now she is no longer married to the man and she doesn’t wanna go back home. She stays at the second leading man’s house. And then at the second man’s sister wedding, the man comes and proposes to her and end up getting married again and having a baby. I mean, it wasn’t really good, but I really did like how the lean man was really down bad for her. I mean, that was just so adorable. However, he was kind of trash. Also, the art style I hated it. I don’t know why, but I just did. And I really did not like the second man he was like probably one of the worst parts of the entire book but yeah. But I did like the leaning man guard or something like that. He was super cute him and his wife I loved them and I like the leading ladies, but yeah. I don’t know. It was very much so a mid book.

This was a really cute book. I will give a description so it was like basically she was in South Korea and then she transmigrated into a book that she had read while waiting for her college entrance exam acceptance letter and then she finds out that she’s going to be killed by her fiancé so she decides to change her fate because she knows how the book goes. She ends up getting into a contract relationship with the leading man of the book who is the Duke and they just fall in love. It’s very cliché and everything, but I still liked it and I like the ending. They had a little girl and yeah, that was it.

I finally finished it. When I say finally, I mean this took so long. The book kind of actually ended at chapter 120 or something like that but they had little side stories for the next like 30 chapters. But I finally finished it and I am so happy. The book was OK. I started it before, but it was still being written so I started and stopped a couple of times before actually even finishing it. It’s basically a revenge story. ~ One thing that I didn’t quite understand is how she had so much power and yet she never really used it. I just felt like she should’ve used her power in fighting situations a lot more than showed because it seemed that she was actually a lot more weak willed than she was, and she was just pretending to be strong. Or like they were trying to create her to be a strong female character, but I never believed it. ~ Either way her family was kind of trash and I was actually a little bit sad that her mom ended up dying although her mom was trying to kill her. Her mom kind of turned it around and was trying to help her in the end but she still ended up dying. I was like, but I mean she wasn’t really trying to help her. She was more so helping herself. ~ But I felt like they paced it very oddly. The whole thing with the Empress dowager I guessed it immediately and I was like OK let’s just see how this plays out. But honestly, I felt that led up to this whole big crescendo this climax that really was anti-climactic. So the whole thing is basically like she hast to become the Arabella so that she can stop this disease from spreading and that literally starts at I want to say the Arabella plot starts at the beginning of the book, it’s like right when she makes her contract with the Duke to become her daughter after almost dying with her bio family. ~ But they never express her feelings about being a contract kid or even going to them addressing the contract after it’s made. I was thinking that we were going to have a little bit more along the lines of “your our real daughter and we care about you. We don’t want the contract anymore. We just want you” kind of conversations. But instead, they kind of just welcomed her and she had one or two other fleeting moments where she was like well I’m just a contract kid and then they never addressed it. She was like I’m just part of the family And I’m like whatever. ~ And we also had a moment where she was like “I’m scared of fire” and all of this and they kind of tried to bring it back with stones but I was like no she’s not afraid of fire stones that was the whole point of the stone was that there was no fire in the house so she wasn’t afraid of fire stones but OK. ~ Another thing they didn’t addressed was the whole situation with the Duke being betrayed. We don’t know how she got betrayed and how she got this scar on her face. I thought they were gonna explain it in the extras, but they never did she just got betrayed that’s it. that’s what they said and I was like OK whatever I don’t really care but I thought they would’ve explained it instead they explained how the parents met and how the dad got his scar but OK. So anyways back to the plot, it was kind of like how she was introduced to the family. The oldest brother took her and the younger brother was a little bit more weary of her and took some time to warm up then she goes and has all of these little side tests that go into how she becomes the Arabella and of course she becomes Arabella and now we’re just literally filling in time so that we can get to the point where she hast to fulfill her duties. ~ At this time we realize that or at least I did that they needed to create romance and I was like I’m not feeling it. I really felt that the guy liking her just came out of nowhere. I know it was supposed to be like oh you know I’ve like her for so long. I’ve been her friend for so long and this and the third, but it really came out of nowhere and he was over here like ‘she reminds me of my little brother’. Like they were fine, but I was like she could’ve had somebody else or he could’ve been with somebody else and I really wouldn’t have cared.~ To the climax, so the whole thing with the temple was actually a pretty good fight scene except like she got tricked by them two kids, and I was like how you get tricked but go off. And then it just didn’t make a lot of sense with the fights. The fight scene was in different places because the duke was fighting the Empress, the dad was fighting her old dad, she was also fighting her dad and plus the assassins and then her brother was fighting the assassins and was helping the Duke, the other brother was helping Duke and then I don’t know why but all of a sudden now they’re attacking the Duke’s house and the leading man kind of sort of arrested his daddy and then he was everywhere. That whole situation was just so confusing annd annoying because it was like built up to be like this huge fight. ~ And I want to say mostly it’s because the dumb king. The king was like oh my gosh my son is my son even if he’s my half brother blah blah blah and I’m like who cares that boy is not your son. You may have thought he was your son all these years but he’s not your biological son OK and he is your stepmother’s son who she’s trying to make the king and he’s cool with that so he was gonna stage coup and like no offense, but you knew that your brother (LM’s dad) also had betrayed you. You’re stupid. He was just letting anybody and everybody get away with everything and then the book wants to be like oh yeah he didn’t let anybody off in the end. Like no. Mr. teddy bear was just trying to look hard, but he was really reeling. He was not a good king and he really did a disservice to the people of that kingdom. I felt that they deserved better. He was way too nice and way too weak willed as well. ~ So anyways, we end with her sucking up the virus or the plague or whatever and then we go into the side stories and I’m like you know what as a matter of fact I couldn’t care less about this dumb book anymore, it was around the time where she went to the temple that I was like yeah I don’t wanna read this anymore and I just like kept reading and it was I had to push. I had to push, but yeah So I don’t think I would ever read this again. It was the first time and that’ll be good enough for me.

Was super cute. The moon goddess helped the two consummate their marriage. They were super adorable but I wish there was more of the story

So this book basically starts out with the leading lady who is a knight. She ends up ending a war that’s been taking place for like I wanna say like 37 years or something like that. So there’s all of these rumors surrounding her as the captain of the 12th order and everybody thinks she’s a man. But she ends up meeting the crown prince on the way to the palace because the emperor is like “I wanna meet the captain of the 12th order”. So he has an immediate attraction to her but he’s like your classic playboy prince who’s rude, obnoxious, really full of himself, and is not a good person. So he realizes that she’s super super loyal. Her loyalty goes beyond what he thinks and he really notices that after he takes her to the ball. So at the ball everybody’s like oh my gosh she’s so pretty. I wanna dance with her blah blah blah and he ends up sleeping with her that night out of jealousy and possessiveness. The next day his brother is like oh she can’t really be a knight or the captain of the 12th order and he raises his sword at her and she doesn’t pull her sword out. So the crown prince ends up taking the hit for her (even though she was gonna avoid it) and he gets upset. This is when they have their first of many of the same fights. He was like “oh if he would asked you to do something risqué you would’ve listened to him anyways?” and so then he asked her to do something risqué and she listened to him because of her loyalty. And then he’s like I don’t wanna see you anymore. So she starts avoiding him because he asked her to. And this is when she meets her adoptive parents and swiftly moves out of his palace into her adoptive parents’ home. Then he realizes that he needs to be near her. After sleeping with her the one time he’s never been able to sleep the same. So come to find out he would work really hard and then on the brink of almost exhaustion he would sleep with a girl and then he would be able to go to sleep because he had really bad insomnia. But after being with her, he didn’t have to work really hard or sleep with anybody, he could just go to sleep. His insomnia was cured by her but only if he’s near her or sees her or something like that. So he goes crazy and is destroying rooms and threatening people and all of the stuff just because she’s avoiding her and he can’t see her. Then in a stroke of genius, he realizes that he’s in love with her so he starts to treat her like — I don’t know — a human being and nice. So he starts dressing up nice and trying to appease her so that she will want to stay with him. But in her mind she’s like oh he’s just the Playboy (which he is) and at some point his affection is gonna run out and he’s gonna go onto the next girl. But either way they have this ongoing annoying misunderstanding where he’s like “oh she’ll never wanna be with me for me. She’s just doing this out of loyalty because I’m the crown prince. She could have anybody she wanted and she wouldn’t choose me. I’m just not good enough for her” blah blah blah. And she has a similar type of thing where she’s like “He’s gonna get tired of me at some point and go to somebody else so she’s like I don’t wanna give him my love and then be devastated”. Then come find out his younger brother ends up trying to stage a coup so they go to war. The brother and a lot of people think that the crown prince is actually the emperor’s brother son when he is actually the emperor son so he does have his right to the throne. She ends up pregnant (more like he purposefully got her pregnant). They finish the war but she ends up dying by the trashcan dumpster second leading man, and then the Crown prince tries to take his own life, but they stop him and she ends up coming back to life… whatever. They get married they have a baby that’s the end of the story. And all of the stuff in the middle is a literally them just dealing with their relationship and then just random people fighting. The only good thing about this book was the emperor and her adoptive parents like when I tell you they made the book. I also did like the dressmaker and the princess. Overall, the book was more of a tedious read and I’m just glad that I’m done. I don’t think I would read it again. Side note: I know that the LL is supposed to be a really good knight but it’s not really believable. Like she’s so small and skinny but she can run as fast as a horse and she’s stronger than most of the other knights... I’m not believing it but that’s OK.

This one was interesting to say the least. The premise is that this girl falls into a book and she falls into the body of villainess after writing the book. And she wants to live so she tries to have a relationship with the second leading man so that they can both survive the ending of the book. But the second leading man ends up standing her up on her wedding day and she ends up, marrying the leading man and the second leading man ends up, marrying the leading lady. So all of this culminates into the second lead man trying to get back with her and the leading lady kind of like hating her for it, and all of these little squabbles between the leading man and the second leading man. Come to find out, the girl didn’t fall into a book. This is actually her life and a different version of her life. So she had past lives before because some wacko Star tried to get close to the Moon but ended up killing all the other Stars except one and the Moon in the process. And so, the good Star who didn’t die makes our girl into a semblance of the Moon. So in her past lives the wacko Star tried to get her. She ends up coming back into this world into another version of her life passes, and she marries the lead man who is actually the guy who’s been her husband in all her past lives. They defeat the leading lady who is supposed to be a saint, but she’s not even a real person and all this stuff. Honestly, around the time they started talking about demonic shadows and what not, I got so confused. It just really wasn’t making a lot of sense and too many people started popping up and I couldn’t care less so I started skipping around that. But they defeated the wacko Star and the crazy saint and her trashcan brother and ended up having twins so that’s it.

So basically the story is about the leading lady and how she was betrayed by her supposed, best friend and then her family was ruined, but on her deathbed, she ends up making a wish and going back in time and saying that if she could do it all over again, she’s not gonna let her best friend ruin her life. So it’s literally just her getting revenge on her best friend and I honestly thought it was really satisfying. I also kinda like that there was this one chapter, I think it was chapter 171, that we really see why the villain did everything that she did. Honestly, I kind of felt like we could’ve seen it earlier, but I wasn’t upset when it came up. It wasn’t like, I think the villainess’ revenge manga where she actually ends up being like really trash as a person. It’s more like she uses her villainess activities just for the leading lady and like 2 to 3 other people basically and then she actually was like oh no I could save the country. So she does kinda use people but it’s also kinda for their own good. But she ends up also meeting the first Prince and they fell in love and they get engaged at the end. So yeah, she saved her family, she got a new man m, more friends. She got her family maids on her side, the people at the clinic, and literally everybody in high society loves her. The whole country calls her the angel of the Empire. She makes friends with the saintess, and her man is a hero. She basically lived happily ever after and there was a lot of twist I was like the rebelling who some of the bad guys are. I primarily thought it wasn’t that good but I actually really enjoyed it.

so this story is basically about a writer ends up in her own book. She is transmigrated into the book as the character Evangeline. Evangeline is a villainess side character who gets beheaded after attempting to kill the female lead Lashera. So after waking up as Evangeline, she decides to become friends with the female lead and tries to stop from getting adopted by this marquis. In the original book Eva gets adopted by the marquis and is abused until she becomes the ninth concubine to the emperor. But because Eva is now the main character of story Lashera ends up getting adopted by the marquis. Now that the writer/Eva thinks that Lashera’s fate has been swapped with her own. She decides to start living as the protagonist. She gets entangled with the Whitaker family, a dual family that originally adopted Lashera and starts living there as an apprentice alchemist. That’s when she is visited by the god who created the world that she’s in. So she finds out that she wasn’t actually dragged into her own story, That god was supposed to create a world and he didn’t have enough time so he plagiarized her work. Now he wants her to become Evangeline and make sure that she has a happy ending because she was his favorite character. So basically some time passes and wins over the family and the now leading man, Kai, who is the Dukes son and was originally the second lead. In doing so she gains some unwanted attention from the princess who wants to marry Kai and the prince, Kristian, who was the leading man. Eventually Kristian wants to marry Eva after she becomes widely known for her abilities that the god gave her. To in order to marry her and stop her from getting engaged to Kai, he sends his ex bestie off to war. Kai is away for five years but comes back the day eva has her coming of age ceremony and finds out that she is the female saint. They keep it hush-hush because the female saint is supposed to be the partner of the next emperor. Then Lashera ends up, pretending to be the female saint and she ends up, married to the emperor thinking that eventually she will marry Kristian. Then we find out that Eva is actually the long lost sister of the emperor of a different kingdom. That different kingdom experienced a coup that resulted in the death of Kai‘s mother. So she is related to the people who his mom. But either way they work through their problems very quickly. He confesses he likes her. She likes him. Then Lashera is found out to be a fake saint. But she blames it on the princess so that she can shield Kristian. He uses this as an opportunity to punish his sister and gain favor with the people, but the emperor embarrasses him in front of the people. To get revenge on his father Kristian ends up, killing him, and trying to become the new emperor. But his mom, the empress. tells Kai that he’s the reason that the princess was committing crimes and that he needs to stop Christian from becoming the next emperor. So they tell the people and they riot and then they revel that eva is the female saint. Kai kills Kristian. Then we have some unnecessary drama with eva and the god and then it ends with Kai and Eva becoming the emperor and empress. The end.

This was a mess. It’s basically about this girl who goes back in time to get revenge on her family for treating her bad. But then there’s a plot twist because not only has she gone back in time but the emperor who she is using for her revenge also went back in time. But not only him, her cousin did too. So now we’ve just got all of these people who went back in time and are trying to one up the other. the cousin is kind of trying to make sure that the emperor‘s brother become the new emperor, but also not really because he doesn’t even like the emperor‘s brother. But he also doesn’t like the emperor either so. And then the leading lady and the leading man are trying to navigate how to survive and also trap the brother and all of his little followers so that they don’t end up dying. But quite honestly, I started getting confused toward the end and I skipped like chapters 55 to probably 59 so yeah. I did not care at some point. But it was a happy ending. I mean as happy as it could be. Mostly everybody died except the core group. And then the leading lady and the leading man got married the end.
