sahlty's manga / #Strong Female Lead(121)

Love on a more realistic and mature note. A good story with very realistic depictions, not overly flowery and too fairytale like. FL and ML both have their own issues but they break down each other’s walls over time and form deep love and understanding. Can relate so much to the FL for wanting to be independent due to her past family/parental traumas. But that’s what makes this story so satisfying perhaps when finally she opens up herself to ML and confesses her feelings. Truly this story talks about acceptance, opening up, forgiveness and the struggles of love and relationships. Although there were no major drama occurring every few chapters, it was nice to see realistic interactions between the FL and ML. The slight angst came during the ML’s feelings of inferiority. It was great to see the FL stay by ML’s side. They eventually got married and seem to be very happy in their new comfort.

Isekai FL, died in a traffic accident and got reincarnated into a novel she read. FL inherits the body of what was supposed to be a supporting/villainess character being the First Prince’s wife but soon changes the plot of the original novel due to her choices. FL gets into an arranged marriage with the First Prince as the story goes since 12, eventually after 10 years of marriage/friendship/partnership they confess their love for each other. However, that’s not to say everything was according to plan. Really enjoyed how the FL is, she’s strong and capable, she’s not stupid or reckless and is incredibly smart. Needing to survive and act as a double agent spy for the empress who’s trying to kill the ML so he doesn’t inherit the throne. FL is truly a strong woman, even in the face of danger she’s ready. Her devotion and love for the ML really shows through all the things she’s done for him for the last decade. And ML is so adorable. Once he realised he had feelings for the FL he is such a puppy. Their interactions are sweet, intimate and hold so much connection and meaning between them for all the things they’ve been thru. This story is different as it feels more realistic and not theatrical in terms of the drama of the royal family and throne inheritance plot. FL and ML also don’t have needless drama or shit stirred between the and things usually get resolved very quickly. It’s great to see them have each other’s backs and have such trust.

Another shoujo isekai. FL was originally a normal girl who enjoys stanning biases, typical. One day truck-kun decides to rock her shit and she gets dropped into a novel called ‘Persona’ of which she stans the MC of the story. In the novel, she takes on the body of a supporting character but makes it her passion to stan the ML of the original novel who is currently a child. Misunderstandings happen and the ML’s father proposes marriage to the FL. All is good and well, lighthearted and cute moments until little things start to be suspicious. The originally thought good characters are slowly being revealed to have more sinister motives and FL finally realises that ‘Persona’ has a deeper meaning than just a title.

Truck-kun strikes again and yet again, FL is thrust into a novel where she is the villainess. FL fights to survive and is pretty foul mouthed and rude despite speaking to nobility and royalty. Realistically, it’s not possible since she would’ve been punished and can’t possible be acting out so much but my yknow, this is a story and isn’t real. Ok I think I’ve held on long enough, this story is truly boring as fuck and I can’t take it anymore. Gonna drop this cause of how simple and non-interesting it is.

Thought it was going to be a fun and light read about comic characters becoming sentient of their existence but honestly this story took me on such a ride. FL realises she’s been losing period of time and memory constantly. She meets the Dried Squid Fairy who is also sentient and he tells her more about the world and rules of the comic world she’s living in. From there the FL also finds out she’s just a supporting character of this world. FL becomes determined to live some way of her life her own way and seeks to find her true first love and she does find love in a supporting character that only goes by Number 13. As the story progresses, more characters become sentient and all try to make their own decisions instead of being powered by the storyline the author has crafted for them. FL tries her best to approach the nameless number 13 every time she’s able to and soon ML becomes sentient too, aware of his measly existence and laments over the loneliness of being a nameless extra. ML and FL get closer and fall in love, FL gives ML his own name - Haru, noting that every day she spent with him was all memories they created for themselves. All the sentient characters go through their own hell form unrequited love to suffering from a terminal illness that will soon claim their life like the case for FL. Alas, it comes time and FL’s fate in the story is to die from a failed heart transplant surgery. In her final moments, Haru finds her and she thanks him for everything. According to the Dried Squid Fairy, who is actually another one of the author’s characters which she reuses in different plots, conscious of all his past ‘lives’, once a character is killed off/dies, they wait in the darkness until they are called upon again. So, in the ending, FL dies, returns to wait in the darkness until the Creator calls upon her again. FL and ML finally reunite, carrying the memories of their time together from before, in a new story, new setting, new future.

Slave turned saviour princess of the kingdom and royal family. Only those with royal blood have eyes that change colour based in their mood and feelings, finally the princess of myth to save the royal family from an unbreakable curse is found.

FL is a modern woman, with a passion for sex that gets transmigrated into another world. Somehow, FL becomes a concubine of the Majesty (ML). Initially, she does not get the attention of the Majesty but during a chance encounter, she shows him a whole new world by kissing him and he takes an interest in her. They begin a raunchy relationship together, ML is exactly FL’s type and is surprisingly experienced/innocent in the ways of sex which only serves to intrigue FL more. Honestly just here for the smut.
