I'm honestly not fond of the mindset of the MC. It's been 150 years since she died, acting as if anyone with the same blood is just as big a scumbag is just stupid, even if the author made it to be true. It makes the character VERY dislikable. It's nice that they put a spin on the reincarnation part and showed what I asume is either Fate or God itself, but so far (6 chapters) I don't really feel hooked to read more. It's a bit meh and I already feel like this is a VERY slow and eventless (or filled with annoying drama only) storyline. But we'll see I guess...

Okay, I'll make this quick and simple: -The Main character behaves ABSOLUTELY RANDOM. One time she's aware of how things will work, the next moment she's more dense than a concrete wall. And not only that, her reactions/thoughts/etc. sometimes make you feel like she has ZERO humanity, she feels more like an alien that HEARD about how humans act, tried it, but failed miserably... - Her flaws make her VERY annoying and it makes me honestly want to skip every sentence she speaks or thinks...which is obviously NOT good. - The base story is interesting at it's core, but the all over execution paired with the annoying MC just make it utterly uninteresting. It almost feels forced in some ways. - The male lead is handsome, but even the tragic story of him lacking emotions and having to get them back was screwed up by the author. For some weird reason they gave him an uncaring attitude towards it all, like he doesn't need them (despite it being VERY important for his future in many ways) but allwhile it feels like everything is being turned into ridicule almost. It just feels very off. All in all this story is just badly executed. The shitty translation work that noone checked for any corrections even in terms of pronouns for a character, really doesn't help it all. The art is okay, but unless you're a 12 year old with ZERO reading experience of quality works...you'd better avoid this. It's just not good. Even if it could have been, with some effort and rhyme or reason... 1 outta 10, but only because the artstyle is nice. There is nothing else worth looking at here, seriously. :/

Remarried Empress

To be honest, the story WAS interesting for some time but the longer you read the more aparent it becomes that the author has ZERO interest to get to the scene that was firt shown that caught our interest. On top of all that, the author has ZERO idea how politics work. Seriously, they have absolutely no clue how to write a political story. It's fine to take it easy and keep political seriousness to a minimum so you can foxus on the needless drama and 'love story', but this author made it clear that they THINk they know how to write political things, but they fail to realize they are terrible at it. Like a 14 year old horsegirl that thinks she could tame a mustang because she rode an old schoolhorse for a year without falling of... And it all just feels like drama after drama being added so the story gets longer and there's more to prevent the actual, original plotpoint from happening. After getting annoyed with the stalling I skiped up to chapter 75 and we're at a point were the empress is all sad n uncooperative to get divorced. This plot is dragging it's feet like a sled behind a dogteam. Please just get to the fucking point. Which I know will not happen anytime soon because the author doesn't know how to write a proper story. Mind you, stalling like this and filling the story with drama and political bs would be perfectly fine...IF YOU HAD ANY IDEA HOW TO WRITE POLICTICAL PLOTS. Which is not the case here. I can honestly not recommend this. It's disappointing and only the scanlator memes were something to look forward to after a while. Which is just plain sad. Don't get me wrong, the characters are fine, the MC is interesting, the villain(s) super dislikable and the love interest(s) have a charming personality. But it all falls apart since the plot is just so damn obnoxious. Again, if the political bs WAS well written, it would be a good read, but it simply is not. Easiest example for this: You can NOT punch an emperor and expect no consequences (the guy is NOT benevolent and understanding, he was just randomly made to be so in that one moment to fullfill the plot purpose...which is shitty writing 101). There are a lot of random, non-sensical things happening, but I could forgive that as amateurish writing if everything else was done well. But that's just not given here. I might potentially come back after it's finished to see if the bitch dies or something, because she's very dislikable indeed (tho nothing new, we've seen her type a dozen times), but I really have no need to bother with this more. It's badly written and the artwork looses a bit of quality in the longrun...which might just hint at how little effort is really put into this on all fronts. Not sure if this is from a website you need to pay to read chapters, but I could easily see that being a thing. Because this reeks of cash cow comic content tbh. Try it for yourself, if you have no idea how politics should work in such a setting you'll probably have a blast with it. For anyone else: Don't bother with this or at least don't say you weren't warned. :'D 1 outta 10 - But only for the early chapter (up to 40 or something like that, after that it's just frustrating and drags on and on and on...)

This is another work from someone that had a very rough plotline in mind but couldn't be bothered to string each happening together in a cohesive and smooth manner. It feels VERY half-assed in terms of getting from one plotpoint to the next, like they didn't care how they got to the next part, as long as we arrived there as quick as possible the creator said 'lets call it good'. WHich ended up in a very obnoxious read even as early as 4 chapters. The story is confusing to a degree and just annoying for many reasons. The art doesn't save it either so as long as you're not just looking for sex scenes to get your rocks off to...move to the next story. This is a waste of time. Unless, again, you are a 12 year old with zero experience as to wtf good writing and storytelling is, then you can totally love this... another 0 outta 10

Okay, the IDEA was great but the execution was VERY lacking. It felt way too comedy focused, the translation seem to be bad so some of the story is lost in there (little of what there is anyway) and it's just overall giving a lackluster feeling. It's a fun read or skim I guess but DEFINITELY not recommended if you're looking for a cohesive story with good storytelling in terms of romance. Take it more as a comedy with smut at random times, then you can have a blast I guess. But nothing else. 4 outta 10 - rating is so low because of the shitty storytelling and the WAY over-the-top expressions in the funny ha-ha moments...

The Real Daughter is Back

Ongoing | Rina/린아 | 2019 released

This is one of the shittiest copycat plots I've seen in ages. The author has many moments from the very start that make it feel like they can't follow their own story. Characters are way over the top toxic, the MC herself is a toxic bish that only seldom is likable and overall nobody can fucking think decently. It's not worth reading tbh. I tried, I really did, but it's only get worse as you progress. Which one should notice after the major fuck up in logic in chapter 28... Not even gonna bother re-checking for the end. Fully dropped due to all the faults which just make it a chore to read.
