Revenge novel. The translation can be, depending on who’s doing it, shoddy.And it gets a little too melodramatic for me.

Gentler Mc. Romance Spin-off/sequel for Apocalypse arrival. Way weaker in terms of quality. I only recommend reading it after AA as it’s not a pertinent... more>>

Not only the MC but pretty much all the cast of secondary characters is cool and fun in this lighthearted slice-of-life. It reads like a... more>>

The way the MC so thoroughly scolds the scummy Ml in her mind while playing the aggrieved party is hilarious. And he can hear her thoughts. She just doesn’t know though. I genuinely cackled through the first 10-20 chapters, then the romance starts…. and sinks the novel faster than a torpedo could.... more>>

Mc is a full of sass, knows-what-she-wants,  independent woman who wholeheartedly pursues her man and the ML, while stony at first, is also wholeheartedly here for it :) It ended up being a very sweet, funny and straightforward romance novel and managed to warm my very cold heart.... more>>

One of my faves. Zero fluff or lightheartedness here. Harem tag. As the novel progresses, you start to realize that all the characters land in different shades of morally grey areas. Nothing is truly black or white in this novel. There are no heroes. Or kind folks. MC included. ... more>>

    You should try reading:

    1. Scream Queen- It's more of a dark comedy(?) than horror where MC is a real queen B who bullies the ghosts clear.pngI love her so much, she slays!!

    2. Step Down, Let me Come- Kingdom building novel where MC is 'capturing' aides wherever she goes (it's a shounen except MC is a girl through and through, though none of her aides believe it) I wouldn't too if I were them cause she's that chaoticclear.png

      …BE doesn’t equate to a bad ending imo.

      I say BE but it’s simply a question of optics. 

      I’m a romantic at heart, so while our MC is winning all the way through, and while also not wishing for her to end up with the emperor, it doesn’t negate the fact that ultimately, I kinda hoped better for her. However unrealistic that may be in an imperial romance(?) novel.

      If you’re here for the entertainment value instead, you’ll think differently than I do.
