The Baby Raising A Devil

Description

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

Three regressions, 4th life.

Although she was prophesied and raised as the child of fate, she was sacrificed when the real child of fate appears.

‘This country is no good, let’s defect!’

Leblaine chooses to be adopted to earn money until defecting. There was nothing wrong this far, but the place she chose was a family full of villains. She tried to trick those bad guys in order to live comfortably before defecting…

“My daughter is the cutest in the world.”

“Give her the building. She can use it as her bathroom.”

“It’s okay, Leblaine told me not hit you, but she didn’t say not to kill you?”

“Who made my sister cry!”

‘…they’re spiralling out of control, what should I do?’

***

“You can’t hit or kill people just because you don’t like them.”

My family was quiet even though I purposely looked sad.

‘Then there’s nothing I can do!’

I looked back at my family with a sharp gaze and said solemnly.

“I’m going to sleep without a blanket.”

“I’m wrong, kid!”

“I’m sorry!”

“I won’t kill anyone!”

Good.

This is my first time reading a shoujo, bg novel, and it's worth it! For me atleast. It's such a good read after a lot of transmigrating bl novels.

I love doting family members setting the most, of course I want it to be overplayed.

The interaction between the two brothers and Blaine was cute, atleast up until C35. The first 2 chapters I read, was quite rough, so I changed the translations and it got better. Please keep up the good work.

I'm still in the chapter before she met the eldest... more>> but the interaction is so cuteee up until C35. Will come back again after a few updates.

Minor spoilers!

Spoiler

actually anxious of what will happen to blaine if they found out that she's 'supposedly' the fake child of destiny. I hope that M girl who is the true child of destiny is not bad tho. *Wanting them to be friends.*

[collapse]

Do read, it's satisfying. (Not sure you'll like it tho, but up until c35 the book is *chefs kiss*) <<less

I can't help it hahahaha no matter how much of a cliche it might be, I still love MC-winning-over-powerful-family stories. Very very cute, no foreseeable romance so far but lots of potential!

Spoiler

The only thing I don't get is why she didn't take advantage of her ability as the ONLY PERSON able to read the ancient language (before the "real" child of fate shows up) to make a name for herself, even if it's still weaker than the real child. In any case it would definitely be better than the things she had to go through.

Even in this current life, after her ability to read it is revealed there's still hardly anything that happens?? No scholars looking for her, interest from the Imperial family, more people believing in her position. All it was used for was to expose a cheating merchant lol.

.

It's a well written story in terms of character development, backstories, world building and ability to evoke a myriad of emotions from its readers. I did not mind a lesser focus on any romantic subplots because there's a whole lot of family fluff that kept me sated.

This one I may want to go back and reread after some time, but the characters (yes, not just one) definitely left a memorable mark for me. <<less

*sobs on the floor*

This was just supposed to be a cheesy shoujo novel, what's with all the angst and plot twists!? Watch out for fluff covered knivessssss

A slow start with kinda silly fluff but so worth it for the journey. For people complaining about the MC acting like a kid: y'all that's a literal plot point. 'The MC acts like a kid so I don't like this story': I point at laugh at you while Leblaine becomes the best villainess MC ever.

couple off cheesy points here and there, not every... more>> single moment is perfect but compared to the overall story, my criticism is a drop in the ocean of this novel. <<less

No need to say more

IT IS THE BEST CHILDCARE NOVEL EVERRRRR

It's been years but I hope there's an artist who's willing to pick this up and adapt it to manhwa 😭 Bcs this story is hella good with sooo many suprising plot twist and unexpected story. There are one or two plot holes that Idk if it's the author or the translator mistake point but it's okay since the overall story is still the best

And finally I'M GLAD this story got a happy ending which is still giving you a... more>> surprise (I read it on kakaopage) I don't wanna to spoil it but anyway ch360 will give you a happy smile while reading it aaaaa

Those who hadn't read it, you better read it NOW I assure you won't be dissapointed okay now go click that chapter link now and have a good journey 🥰

P.s prepare some packs of tissue to help you deal with your river of tears when you're into it 🥹 <<less

So... I like the story. It reminds me of ToCF. Leblaine and Cale are cut from the same clothe. Hahahaha

I like its premise.

It has a refreshing world building.

... more>> The characters and their interactions are cute.

But...

The translation quality just is not it for me... I am grateful for the time and effort of the translator but... it makes the story, as I go on, stilted... I am curious about the ending... I know I'm not even halfway through the novel but I have to drop it. The terminologies within the story changes halfway through and there isn't much consistency... The names also gets confusing as we progress and... I'm sorry. I have to drop this.

Kudos to the translation team/translator for the effort. <<less

Story-wise this is probably one of my favorite transmigration stories with the main theme being about family, you can tell the author put a lot of details in how the MC uses information from her previous lives to her advantage in her current life.

Leblaine is a great MC, she's smart and won't show mercy to those who deserve it but she isn't perfect as she has trauma over the abuse she suffered in her previous lives, which makes it easy to sympathize with her.

Although I really like this story there... more>> is one major flaw that made me eventually drop the story which is the translation, it's probably one of the worst translated stories I've read and is similar to MTL. There are a lot of grammar errors that make the novel difficult to read which takes out a lot of my enjoyment and immersion. <<less

This is my first time writing a review because this novel is REALLY my favorite and I think people who likes to read something with a family trope will love it too. The translation isn’t really that good at first but it’s getting better and I've also finished this novel just rereading it all I can say is NONE OF THE NOVELS I’VE READ CAN COMPARE TO THIS! I’m a really really picky reader and I lose my interest very quickly but this novel, even if I reread for the... more>> fifth time, still feels new. To those people saying why she acts and talks like a child and things of course she will. She’s a 4 year old kid who has a short tongue do you really expect her to pull a calliope and give life advices? And fyi her plan was to ESCAPE it’s not that she didn’t have any plan but she didn’t want to continue it because once again she hoped and wanted to trust that her new family will take care of her, love her and cherish her like no one ever did in her past lives. In my opinion and from what I read, Leblaine is just a girl who wanted to be loved by her family but was sacrificed, abused to death and starved to death. Another fyi is their family is a VILLAIN. VILLAIN. Of course they’ll do bad things they literally have criminals as employees make it make sense smh also the novel gets better throughout the story so :D <<less

I read it at the very end.

--And it was so worth it.

If you like protective families, easy to understand yet interesting plot, and smart but cute MC, then this is the novel for you.

Give it a read if you want a good way to kill time. :)
Spoiler

The MC has gone through a lot in her three lives. And she somehow found a way in the most appalling choice, and those choices in her past life made her calculative yet not cold. Her family is cute to read, but the romance is pretty much non-existent, which is good for a change.

It was good. There's fluff at the start but somehow it got complicated and thrilling later on. The female MC has a great major character development as she became more Dubbled or maybe worse than the Dubbled; I don't know if that was a good thing. But with the complicated plot, the story seems to be really planned and not just full of nonsense.

I also love the major and big character development for her father and brothers. They might be the typical tyrants but they have diverse characters on the... more>> story, so it's good. I wish we could have more family fluff AND FINISH THE REVENGE PLS I AM HAVING ANXIETY WITH IT I WANT LEBLAINE TO BE REALLY HAPPY. THANK YOU. <<less

It's initiallly pretty good, I didn't find things complicated, their relatioship was cute and all. But I started having a serious issue: the "similing like a villain" phrase just turned me off so many times. The author kept mentioning this at every turn, and tried to force this vision of "oh, I'm a villain, with a villain family and criminal servants", if it's briefly mentioned than okay, cute, but if it is over and over again it gives a headache.

Also, why is the CP the ML??? If she wants to make their House independent, it does not make any sense!! Also, I don't really knoe if the idea was later dropped, and if it was, I'm even more disappointed. And, I didn't feel them at all! Like, there's no chemistry, no relationship progression. Also, why the hell did she have to become a child again?? God damn it man, really unnecessery and does not add to the plot one bit.

[collapse]

I'm also pretty unsatisfied with the brothers development, they don't change anything, it looks like they don't even have a life besides adoring Leblaine. No personal relationships, no opinions of their own, nothing!!

Anyway the beginning was good, but as it goes, it's boring. And
Spoiler

I really loved that the Duke actually loved their mother very much, and that despite loving Leblaine as his own child, he never forgot his daughter. And I would like to read Riset and the Duke's story!!

The translation for this novel on Woopreads is, honestly, pretty bad. Kudos to the translator for translating it at all, but a lot of comprehension is lost due to bad grammar. It got better for a bit while the TL had an editor/proofreader, but it seems they left. Despite the bad translation, though, the story was so good I could overlook it.

[collapse]

That is because it feels so satisfying to read, that I don't care much about the faults of the novel - or notice them at all! The main character is cunning and a bit greedy, even - watching her amass more and more power feels super satisfying!

The character interactions are intriguing, funny and heartwarming; I've been told I had a dumb smile on my face while reading this novel!

While the plot and story, imho, are very attention gripping, the prose itself is nothing special and is rather barebones. The worldbuilding also feels a bit underdeveloped, or rather, "hollow" - aside from fleshing out partial details surrounding the "political intrigue", the world feels pretty... I dunno. Barren. The focus is very much placed onto the people of the world first and foremost (which isn't a bad thing!).

In summary: If you want to read something where the tension keeps building and building, and where there's the satisfying taste of just desserts, served together with evil family fluffiness, this one is for you. <<less

This is a really good not too deep of a story. There is political intrigue, but it's well thought out and laid out. The author does attempt to give you clues to figure out what the MC is up to when they don't spell it out. I had also found the MC's demeanor and personality, quite enjoyable! She's meticulous and in the beginning, you can tell just how frightened she is to get close to anyone. Most of all, I really, really enjoy what they did with an adult mind... more>> being restarted in a child's body multiple times.

Most stories, just have a straight adult mind in a child's body. She doesn't. She has her adult mind, but she has to struggle to overcome her child mentality (brain not fully developed). The more strength and power she uses, the less grip she has over her mental state. There are several times in the story where she overuses her divine power, then she starts to panic somewhat as she can't control her childish impulses. This is a new concept for me and I quite enjoyed how the story plays off of it. Because she can't help herself when she's in that state, she can't think clearly, she's swayed by her emotions more easily and she's more prone to remembering the past. I'd always been slightly annoyed at stories that play off of the adult in a child's body because it never makes sense why they act the way they do. This story managed to provide reasoning for that issue. Something I found quite enjoyable and refreshing for an idea. <<less

The translation is very good and the story is just good enough to pass time.

The story is supposed to be a family pampering an adopted daughter but it doesn't seem like an equal exchange of love. It's more like the parent and sons became her loyal servants who she can scold and order around instead of being a happy heartwarming family.

As I read further, I began to want to change the rating to a 2. I found this novel because of the manga promo and was really looking forward to reading it. However, the writing/translation gets on my nerve. It improves somewhat later, but at the beginning, the story jumps and sometimes, I don't understand what is going on. There's not much description and you can't always tell who's talking and when MC's talking vs. When she's thinking.

From what she told about her previous lives, I feel really bad for... more>> her. Never got any love and had to watch Mina, the real child of destiny, get all the love she craved.

As I read on further, I become more and more irked by MC's personality and how everyone's just pleasing and basically idolizing her. I get it, she kind of saved your lives from the scary duke, but if you really think about it, it was also because of her trying to meddle that the situation ended up like that or actually, it's not really her who saved you, but because she spoke last, she's the savior. Everyone just basically adores her and gives her everything. It's getting a little unreal. <<less

This story its quite refreshing. Our little MC is not just a damsell in distress and not a full OP character. She just a girl, who lived 3 horrible lifes and died miserably. But she use her knowledge in this life to progress and I love how the Duke&brothers&whole household just showering her the love and adoration what LeBlaine deserved long ago.

Cute, tragic, romantic, familial, fantastical, it's got it all! Every named character has a role, and the ones named early on come back, which is always nice to see!

Mostly good, with a few minor complaints:

... more>>
Spoiler

1) It wasn't explained, but I guess the FL's regressions caused the entire world to regress? (But that wouldn't really be called regressing would it? Just turning back time?) The villainess remembered the first life (and ONLY the first life, notice), but only up until FL's life, which is fine, but I was hoping that it was an "uh oh, this had negative consequences" sorta thing that created a parallel universe each regression, but nah. FL's power turned back the clock for EVERYONE

2) I'm pretty tired of women being pit against each other and one is an obvious foil when one is NOT the main antagonist, or on nearly the same level (FL has the experience of three lifetimes, while the villainess is literally a high schooler with the faintest memories of only the good times from the first life -- sort of a hollow victory when FL wins over her) ; it feels like a cop-out as it would've been too difficult or long to write them as allies. We also don't hear about the villainess after she's sent back either

3) FL got a little too Mary Sue at the end with how everythong was pretty much centered around her (the main villain and then the happy ending for all) and all those proposals, and as much as I'm a sucker for a happy ending, the happy ending for all kind of felt like all the prevoous stakes and sacrifices were for naught, lessening the emotional impact of it all

[collapse]

Overall, mostly good, just a little hollow by the end of it; could've been executed a bit more cleanly

I personally rate it around 4.1~4.3, so it's 4 stars from me <<less

Well written. Good flow. Immaculate balance of familial love, tragic story, and revenge with a sprinkle of romance.

I really liked this whole novel because the author definitely solved every plotholes and didn’t drag the whole story, rather I think the author solved each problems one by one as to keep the readers engaged with the story rather than just concluding it in the last arc. On the other side, every problems that occured are actually connected to each strings and I like how the story was turning... more>> out. <<less
