This is a story where you might need to overlook the art some in the first season (first 73 chapters). It's often too faintly-defined and so it can be difficult seeing, but it shows the needed improvement towards the second season.

This is a comedy-heavy story. While there is a proper story to be told and various plots ready and utilized from the get-go, the comedy takes a strong focus and carries the story along so fluidly you're amazed you've read as much as you had. At the very least, the dialogue is always easy to read.

In any case, FL a young woman ... whose first life was an editor. She was a perfectionist and good at anything she set her mind to, so when her sister asked for her professional opinion on her story, she got on her sister's bad side. Her sister's story became popular and, contrary to her sister's opinion, FL read it. FL then was isekai'd into the very character her sister wrote to take her anger out on her: the future tyrant's half-sister, an otherworldly blacksmith commoner, gifted with immense beauty, and fated to die a lonely death.

FL realized it instantly. And after coming to terms with it, she then raised her new younger sibling – the future tyrant – to be a decent person. The two possess an incredibly realistic sibling bond and only a fool would overlook how much they love the other. And so, when time came for the story to begin, FL was brought to the castle as planned because her brother wouldn’t suffer the royal life alone.

Now as an unofficial princess, FL begins raising her brother as a future king – read: not a tyrant – with various hurdles she barely realizes she’s overcome. She even lands a lover whom her brother has idolized even back when he thought he was a commoner, earning her yet another venue to help reign the boy in.

The story is still unfolding and the cast is ever lively and well-developed. The world is well established and FL knows what she wants, on top of what others want. Even if they say nothing.

tldr; quirky "slice of life"-esque manhwa with a reincarnated MC, but her reincarnation isn't pushed down our throats 24/7

Compared to the usual style of manhwas, its art is quirky - but if you are willing to not mind it as much, this one is pretty fun to read. I just finished reading up till the end of its Season 3 (Chapter 139), and the plot is finally moving, there is finally going to be something that might keep us on the edge of our seats.

Overall, the manga has a very "slice of life" feel to it. And yes, it does have the reincarnation thing ... going on, but the fact that she WAS indeed "isekai"-ed into this world isn't brought up as often, which is a nice change compared to how other manhwas usually go.

One thing I've noticed recently about these recent manhwas that have been coming out is that - although their chapter numbers are fairly high, usually there isn't a lot that happens in a single chapter, so if you feel overwhelmed by the number of chapters, you can almost divide that number by two, and that is the amount of content you'd usually expect from a Japanese manga. So for example, in my case, I have gone over the content of roughly 69.5 chapters. However, one advantage to keeping things slow like this is that you can get a lot of screenshots of funny scenes, and in this particular manhwa, you can expect yourself wanting to take a screenshot at least once per chapter.

Another thing that I noticed about this manhwa is that this one doesn't heavily focus on love and romance. In fact, if you expect to get some smut from this, you would be heavily disappointed. And even in the romance department, things move very slowly.
