Synopsis

Many reincarnated women end up living the dream as one of the younger characters from a novel—but not Mildred Vans, the newly widowed 37-year-old mother of three. She appears to be none other than the wicked stepmother from the famous Cinderella tale, an irredeemable and despised villain. With no servants to speak of and a shoestring budget, all Mildred wishes is for her three daughters—Iris, Lily, and the future princess Ashley—to marry well and live comfortably.

As the fateful ball approaches, Mildred plans to ensure her adorable Ashley meets the prince and to find adequate husbands for her strong-willed Iris and creative Lily. By chance, Mildred encounters Daniel Wilford, a mysterious young baron oddly fond of Mildred and kind to her daughters. Although Mildred is decidedly done with romance and preoccupied with her children, Daniel never fails to extend a helping hand, patiently waiting for the day she will be ready to love again.

Preliminary (96/? eps)

Oh lord, so far, with 96 chapters in, this made me cry/tear up at least 3 times (do note that i was listening to golden hour - Fujii Kaze remix on loop as I was reading this manhwa) - you could almost think of it as a handbook for how to evenly give attention to your kids as a stepmom.

The art is pretty. I would rate it around 8/10. One thing that I might nitpick is the fact that they give "bigger" noses to the stepsisters to make it seem as if they are "unattractive". But I guess it's hard to make a character ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (115/? eps)

A wholesome romance drama.

Plot
MC gets isekai-ed into the stepmother of Cinderella. Her husband (Cinderella's father) had taken a large amount of money to do business and went missing for two years. Now, she recently got a letter that they have found the husband's, making her a widow. So, she is left with little money and three young daughters who are just becoming adults (and need to be married off). So, our MC decides to prepare her daughters for the noble society, so that they can find suitable partners and live happily. The story follows these 4 women and their romance endeavors.

Review
Alright. first things ... first. I really love art in fairy tale manhwa like these. Its full of flowers and cute designs with vibrant colors. The costumes are also pretty af. You got to appreciate the art to enjoy series like these.

Now, the setting of cinderella is mostly just bait. Both the stepmother and "evil" sisters of Cinderella are whitewashed as good people. MC starts going into monologues about how the stepmother was only evil because she was secretly suffering and all.. But I honestly couldn't care less about that. Because, this is a completely different story and Cinderella part is just a tiny "hook" just like how most Isekai have hooks. eg: born as "slime", "vendimg machine", "sword", "strongest exorcist", "assassin" etc...

The strength of this series is its super wholesome vibe between the family members. Its always filled with positive vibes and you start wanting to root for them. The series is at its best, when they are doing something together like playing a game, figuring out costumes for their next party, cooking etc..

The characters are also really likeable. Everyone has their own thing going on, and you can see the character development progress many times. They are also not perfect, and deal with their own inferiority complexes. But, fortunately, the characters become stronger with time. Compared to the first chapter when they had no idea how to interact with nobility, they are much better now at dealing with all kinds problems.

The series also has plenty of problems too..
1. It gets a little too preachy at times. The MC is always lecturing the kids (or someone else) like a know-it-all. There's a scene where she even preaches to royalty, and it later works out in her favor. Its like she lost all her braincells and stopped considering how wrong things could have gone if she were to anger the royalty (or their supporting nobles). stupid MC bitch saved by plot armor/conveniences as usual.
2. The male lead is weak af. The man has not done a single thing to distinguish himself as a character. Its all just simping for our FMC and acting all mysterious like every other manhwa MC.

Overall
The main reason for my high rating is the wholesome vibes and art. There's also some decent comedy with chibi reactions. But I would definitely not consider this as a series for everyone. It will get boring after a while because of the slower pacing, and MC's preaching gets more and more annoying. I think the series takes 22 chapters for its first arc, so that's a good checkpoint to stop and decide if you want to continue or not.

7/10
Eu gostei muito no começo. O protagonista masculino é ótimo, um anjo, um amor. E eu amo todo esse desenvolvimento familiar que a protagonista tem com as filhas delas. O romance é MUITO lento e a protagonista é um pouco sonsa (mas quem não é nesse mundo de manhwa, né?), mas o que mais me irrita é esse plot INSIGNIFICANTE de obra de arte que tem e não acaba NUNCA. Simplesmente é a maior chatice inventada pelo autor desse manhwa que nos sonhos dele acha que tá fazendo algo interessante, mas que na verdade, é EXTREMAMENTE CHATO E DESNECESSÁRIO. Duvido que alguém realmente leia as ...
