I’m Only a Stepmother, but My Daughter is Just so Cute!

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I managed to get myself thrown into a story as a stepmother so jealous of her daughter that she tried to kill the girl with a poisoned apple.

I’d love it if I could shower my cute and lovely Blanche with all sorts of affection, but–

“Hilarious. Since when did you like Blanche so much?”

This god-damned husband keeps getting in my way!

“I am Blanche’s parent as well. I demand an apology for being so suspicious of me.”

“And if I don’t?”

“I’ll visit your bedroom tonight, your majesty.”

“…..”

“I even managed to get some really sexy panties just for you.”

With a big smile on my face, I struck him with a critical hit.

“I could show it to you right now if you’d like?”

The look on his face was truly something to behold.

I lifted my chin, and looked down on him victoriously.

It's like another type of Lucia but in here we won't see a s*x crazed black haired, red eyed Duke.. But a black haired king that's living his life with just fulfilling his duties without having to enjoy life and emotions.

Also MC is not the gentle type who only knows how to be a damsel in distress, she's a fighter (not literally a fighter) that's full of life and character.

Add on to our cute and fluffy Blanche that's our MC's new type of obsession (might turn into a Numba one... more>> fan of Blanche and possible yandere<3)

All and honestly, this novel looks similar to Lucia but minus the smut!! Yes this it!! Totally worth the read!! <<less

A reincarnation story of a middle-aged woman who died and reincarnated into the story of Snow White as the evil step-mother Abigail, and is now smitten by how cute her step-daughter Blanche is. To everyone, it would appear that Abigail has turned over a new leaf.

As of chapter 3, this story has shown us a fair amount of fluff with how Abigail is absolutely taken by how cute her step daughter Blanche is and will most probably be doting on her a lot in the future.

The husband Sabelian naturally does... more>> not like Abigail. However to my surprise, he also does not seem to have a lot of love for his cute daughter. But this is nothing Abigail wouldn't fix, right?

As of chapter 3, coupled with the synopsis, we can infer that the direction this story appears to be heading seems to be one where the Abigail dotes on Blanche and (most likely) will gain her affection. The people around her such as the servants will likely follow suit and change their opinion of her. And finally the husband will probably join in on the fluff. But I digress.

Only 3 chapters so far but seems promising. Definitely worth a try. <<less

If you’re concerned about the “Reverse R*pe” tag so far, I’m just here to relieve your mind with some context:
Spoiler

The book’s female lead does NOT r*pe the male lead, and the ML does NOT r*pe the FL. S*xual assault that happened in the past is discussed in book 1, and it’s disturbing, but it didn’t happen between the FL/ML, and neither of them is the r*pist.

Loving the story so far.

The female lead (FL) : Not desperate for male lead's love. She's quite independent, smart, and strong-willed. She won't allow others step on her, but she's also not ruthless unless you mess with her step-daughter then you're dead lol

The male lead (ML) : While cold, he's still loyal to his wife and would never give other women another glance. A lot of his actions are justified given that the original FL was always scheming and arrogant and the non-loving environment he grew up in.

However, what I... more>> like most about this story is the setting and plot that makes sense. A lot of things that happen in this story are justified and nothing happens for no reason. After the FL transmigrated into the original woman's body, things didn't magically change for her. The ML didn't just fall for her and until now some are still doubtful of the FL's drastic change which makes so much sense. The FL is smart, but she's not ruthless and scheming. Her thoughts are realistic and understandable. She knows when to push for her decisions and when to yield. She's also not one to stand and be slandered by others. She will fight back and everyone includes the ML will be scared of her lol <<less

I love this novel, its such an interesting take on classic fairytale, it is very funny how the evil step-mother Abigail (the reincarnated one) is not quite evil but just misunderstood, if you liked Suddenly Became a Princess One Day, Daughter of the Emperor, or I am a child of this house, then this story is defiantly for you. And I have to admit the translation is pretty good so far there doesn't seem to be a grammar or spelling mistakes and it is easy to follow and read.

Review that is completely biased from day one here.

I'm simple-minded when it comes to novels. If I like it, I like it. This is one of those novels that is just absolutely adorable. Our Abby-G is a designer transported into a body of the villain, but she could be said to be the complete opposite of the "Evil Queen" in all of our snow white stories. This is one of those stories that doesn't focus on the romance and drama between the two adults, but instead focuses more on the... more>> interactions between cute Blanche and Abigail. I, for one, appreciate this more compared to the other Joseis that I have read.

Spoiler

I absolutely love the new mirror. His interactions with Abigail are hilarious and he is absolutely adorable as well in his own way.

This novel is honestly an amazing romance story. Rather than falling into the trap of being pure fluff like so many others of the same genre, Stepmother manages to weave in other subplots (such as a slight mu*der Mystery at the start), which only enhance the reading experience.

The characters are all charming and unique, and they leave such an impression on you that you can't help but remember them. All I can say is that this is a novel I would 100% recommend to others, and one that I will... more>> likely find myself re-reading for years to come. <<less

Ah I always love family love novel. This story is more focused on Abigail gushing over how cute Blanche is. BUT UNFORTUNATELY. Before the MC got reincarnated into Abigail's body, Abigail had been torturing Blanche and everyone so they become very veery wary because Abigail suddenly turned into a better person.

If you enjoy reading daughter of the emperor, you should give this novel a chance!

Making a review in reflection to Skite's review.

This story is a twist on the classic Snow White, with the girl 'Snow White, ' a child and the evil stepmother is a reincarnator. Like the typical "I ended up in this situation from the real world, " the FL uses her knowledge (designer) and thankfully has the memories of the previous host, to change her fate and the perception of the previous host.

The ML in response to Skite'a review

... more>>
Spoiler

Is royalty. They didn't have therapy back then and even the FL says and mentions many times how backwards the time period is. It's virtually impossible for a man of royalty to confine in anyone about being s*xual assault and manipulated by his mother at 13-14. In fact, they would think it's normal and for him to "suck it up." Or worse, see it as a weakness and assassinate him or use his brother, Raven instead. The man was assaulted as a child, forced to take care of a child as a result of it, and had to become a ruler all at 15 with no room to breath or act like a teenager. Yes he would be messed up, cold towards his child, and suffering from ptsd and trauma. It takes a lot of guts and courage for a man during that time period to admit to someone, that he had a bad impression towards nonetheless, that he was assaulted.

[collapse]

No seriously the ML not showing worse behaviour is shocking and I'm quite confused on the review victim blaming him on top of that, saying that he was "gaslighting, " everyone (including the FL) by not saying the spoiler. And did we read the same story? ML didn't blame anything
Spoiler

of a lack of a heir/etc on the previous host. The nobles did. In fact he said he wanted no other wife and refuse to cheat on her when it was implied that it was the FL fault. This is when he was suspicious on top of that. So he had no reason to trust her or not get another wife that he could easy manipulate. He even said himself that if the FL wanted to cheat and get a kid, go ahead. He was tr*shy at first because he ignored the previous host and acted like a cold jerk to everyone but it was explain why.

[collapse]

The previous host wasn't a good woman. She was obsessed with the ML, abused his daughter, and in general was s*upid. Abusing the maids was the host doing, full stop. It's obvious the ML has problems but the previous host did not care at all nor see it. The previous host did not see the forest for the trees and was obsessed with this man
Spoiler

to the point that she relived his trauma.

[collapse]
That's why the FL is trying to fix a lot of this because of the fault of the previous host.

And I don't see how the FL doting on the daughter is creepy. Like I'm guessing that people (including the reviewer) never had kids or seen doting parents. It can be overbearing depending on the person but the girl has gotten little to no attention from the previous host. No situation did the girl look uncomfortable.

"dressing her up like a doll can't be healthy for the child and might give her a disorder of some sort." Again, she likes the attention and the outfits, there is nothing wrong with her mother doting on her and doing girly things. There is no discomfort. You're reading too hard on this and personalising it.
Spoiler

Even during the drunk on nutmeg part, was the girl scared? No. Was she disgusted? No. She was concerned about the stepmother.

[collapse]

Yes the story isn't perfect but it's fun, it's funny, and refreshing. It had a focus on a FL and a kid trying to fix a relationship. The romance is a back seat compared to exploring characters. Yes the FL is a bit overbearing and weird but she keeps the girl's interest and her father in mind. It's not for everyone, no story is, but I can't stand a review that's 100% bias and wrong.

This is the Middle Ages, not 2021. <<less

Honestly, after reading Lucia (which I LOVED) i've been at a loss since I haven't found anything on the same level as it. This is work is a lot like Lucia but there are enough differences that I don't feel as if I'm reading the same book again. Needless to say, I'm loving it so far. If you are a fan of Lucia and are struggling to find another book similar to it in terms of writing and storytelling, this book is doing an amazing job of it so far.... more>> Highly recommend this book to everyone, not just fans of Lucia. <<less

Honestly speaking, this novel just screams "written by a preteen" to me, a lot of aspects are exaggerated, fanciful, and truthfully more than a bit cringe-y. This MC is borderline pe*ophile / lolicon. The emotional & romantic developments are inexplicable and feel very forced.

That said, this is definitely a story targeted to the masses, so maybe that's why a lot of people seem to be enjoying it, maybe???? Reading the ratings that all seem sky-high, I really do not understand. Seriously, I have no idea how such a truthfully-quite-tr*shy... more>> story is rated so high??? I've done a lot of reviews, but I've never felt such a discrepancy... That said, I confess that when I first read this story to about c7, I also rated it at 5 lmao. I really do like the idea of the story (I'm childish I can't help it..) but the way it's written makes me feel like I want to barf. <<less

ML is one of those shitty guys with many, many personal issues, who, rather than acknowledging and fixing them, choses to make other people think they're the broken ones, not him. In this case, the ML does not work on his problems

... more>>
Spoiler

He is seriously afraid of women, and hates them. Both his own mother, and his first queen, Blanche's mother, were mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive to him, and has left him unable to love, handle physical touch from a grown woman, or trust women. He was forced to marry at 14, and his wife sexually abused and r*ped him frequently in order to become pregnant.

[collapse]
and instead chose to gaslight and emotionally torture his second wife, who became a twisted, desperate, wretched, and mean person, since he convinced her there was something wrong with her that made it so he could never love her, and allowed her to pay the price and bear the blame for his various hang ups getting in the way of his duties and obligations.
Spoiler

Like, he let everyone believe she was the reason they never consummated the relationship. Because she was so horrible. Rather than because he has s*xual trauma or wasn't interested. As such, most everyone treated her terribly, from the nobility down to the maids, and she was in an extremely precarious and pressurized position. She was literally suicidal from his treatment, and the isolation caused by it. She had made multiple attempts to kill herself for attention. She eventually went insane trying to get him to love her and succeeded in killing herself, allowing our MC to appear and inhabit her body.

So, to reiterate: this man drove someone to su*cide. He treated someone so badly for so long, that he caused their death. And we're supposed to think he's cute.

[collapse]

Enter our MC, who transmigrates into the second queen's body. As luck would have it, in her previous life, MC was an ugly woman. Since she was dowdy, she has zero expectation that the super-hottie ML would give her the time of day. Indeed, she would be uncomfortable with it if he did. He is so far out of her previous league, she does not view him as even a possible potential s*xual or romantic partner.

She is also used to being treated like crap and ignored by the beautiful and powerful people, unlike the body's original owner, a model-gorgeous princess who knew what was her due and expected it. Instead, she likes to hide behind her stepdaughter, the princess Blanche. She's like a grown up who sits at the kiddy table on purpose at Thanksgiving dinner, or hangs out with the cat in the corner at a party.

This combination of treating herself as if she were the human and s*xual equivalent of beige wallpaper, and putting up with the ML's dismissive behavior as if it were natural to be treated that way, seems to do the magic trick to get past the ML's defenses and let the healing begin.

As for the stepdaughter-stepmom relationship, I know it's supposed to be cute, but I find MC's obsession creepy, like those 50 year old women consumed by a much too young tween idol. And while MC does several positive things for her stepdaughter, her focus on Blanche's looks and dressing her up like a doll can't be healthy for the child and might give her a disorder of some sort. It was enjoyable until I saw the dysfunction, and now I can't unsee it. <<less

Definitely a read for those that want a villainess who was thrust into this situation being herself while able to handle/understand it. Her journey to build a relationship with her stepdaughter and treasure her is fun and cute to read while being firm with those that disagree with her like the nanny and the father.

Also, it's being officially licensed so those that want to help support it should head to the Kickstarter as it has great deals to get official translations to put on our mobile devices. Link will be... more>> after the latest chapter listed as it will be the last one. <<less

I have read better with this premise...

The set ups and plot devices are, competent, although a bit underwhelming, the "setting" is "Snow White" but with a reincarnator on the step moms body (yes, the witch)

It takes that premise and disregards it completely.

But here, well, it tries to put into a logical step by step of "how" the original "Snow White" came to be... (it is implied that the setting is BEFORE the original snow white story begins) while at the same time disregarding that setting completely and just add... more>> a bit of nods here and there that point at the setting of the original (like how Blanche likes apples for example).

It's interesting but not that exiting, and even repetitive and at times a bit dull since all the MC does is fawn over "Blanche" (snow white)

In the end, I feel like all this is wasted potential, It feels like the author read the original Snow White as a kid, forgot about most of the important plot points and decided to write her own story, basically a fan fiction that doesn't remember the original work.

But if you disregard the supposed setting that is done purely for aesthetic purposes, it's not a bad story, it's heartwarming although it lacks in characterization, the plot dragging the story forward is just a pretense to make the characters interact which isn't bad in itself, you can completely disregard all that and keep on reading, the reincarnator doesn't even use the knowledge of the story because it's irrelevant to her timeframe, and even if it was relevant the setting is completely not what the original Snow White was.

So, you're here for one thing and one thing only, the "mother" figure repairing past mistakes and trying to bring a nice life to her daughter.

Which is a nice story in itself, I just feel like it got a bit bogged down by the ORIGINAL story, "Snow White" isn't by any means a badly written story, so using it as a pretext for this setting feels wrong, because this story can't compare, at all, to the original Snow White, not in setting or plot points or (in the case of the motion picture) characterizations.

So I would advice to read it with the mindset that this is not "Snow White", think of it as it's own thing that uses a bit of the aesthetics, and you'll enjoy it more. <<less
