Preliminary (47/? chp)

The s-class lady is a transmigration/otome isekai manhwa that adds a new element into the mix. The Main character, Kim Yi-Young or Renee, was previously stuck in a different world one of hunters and a tower which she cleared after regressing 58 times. Sadly though, our female Yoo Joonghyuk was screwed over by the final boss of the previous world and thus did not return to her original world but instead transmigrated (again) into a villainess scenario. The story follows her exploits as she completes the system's quests. Unlike most other villainess stories there is actually a slight focus on action. Renee kept quite a ... bit of her previously gained powers and is also still contracted to 3 powerful constellations. This allows for quite interesting character dynamics as none of the male leads are really capable of wooing Renee in the traditional ways usually seen in these stories. This is quite a refreshing take on the genre and is really fun to read. Sadly the male leads and other side characters are nothing to write home about. Nothing is really done to break the mold in this regard, besides the characters being quite literal cooky cutter tropes (shitty dad, shitty brother, not as shitty brother, puppy ml, crown prince ml etc etc) they are also not really all that interesting. The story does nothing to really make you care for any of them. This is further amplified by the lacking direction.

The greats of this genre are good because time is spent to develop relationships with characters only to add some new element into the mix to disrupt the flow. This disruption only works because the reader has become invested. In this manhwa the focus on plot/action usually takes the front stage and while the otome isekei aspects are interwoven in this, it still feels like an afterthought. As a result neither aspect is developed to a satisfactory level. While charming, the combination of characters, genres and themes feel more like a way to fill out a checklist than a way to make a compelling story, especially considering the pace that the story seems to be going. Granted, it is possible some sort of plottwist is coming, but so far this doesn't seem to be the case so far.

The art of this manhwa is honestly incredible. Done by the artist behind 'beware the villainess', which is already acclaimed for its art, this manhwa only improves upon it. The characters are uniquely designed, gorgeously drawn and the art is very consistent. The action is second to none and honestly stands up to some of the best action manhwa. It really is worth reading just for the art, it really feels like a big budget production.

Overall I think this series is good, not great. Very above average on all levels but nothing, besides the art, to standout in any meaningful way. It is trying to do too much in a short amount of time and the character writing is also not quite there, but it is being held together very competently and is quite fun to read as a result.

Preliminary (48/? chp)

Forced to love someone in order to get home... No, this is not a horror or dystopian film, this is a romance manhwa!

Revived in the world of a book, the protagonist must defeat the tower. With knowledge of the story and the ability to be revived at the starting point, she finally beats the tower after her 58th attempt! After living through 57 times of her friends getting killed and people cheating on her, she is extremely jaded and only likes the three deities that have been with her as contractors for most of her lives. So when FINALLY the final reward is handed out ... and she's supposed to be sent back to her world, there's a bug and instead she ends up in a romance novel... will she ever get home?

In my brief summary, I have tried very hard to concentrate on the positive aspects of the manhwa. The three deities are witty commentators, and the harsh, direct manner of the protagonist doesn't seem to fit this world at all. After all, while she fulfilled quest after quest for over 500 years by defeating monsters, the current ones now revolve around romance! So she has to find ways and means of coping with her battle-influenced nature and character traits in this very unsuitable setting. For example, instead of throwing romantic glances, she prefers to knock out the male protagonists and is thus admired for her strength.

Unfortunately, the manhwa soon takes a route that I don't like at all. As I said, it was fun to see the protagonist completing the quests and ‘seducing’ others, even though she has absolutely NO desire for any human relationship and really just wants to go home to her dog. However, this fun ends very quickly when our S-class hunter also starts to fall in love with the characters. Instead of funny situations in which she has to somehow become popular with rolled eyes, we get the classic ‘damn I love you, don't love you. Damn I like you, I DON'T LIKE YOU!'. An endless back and forth about what her feelings are, who she likes or doesn't like and whether she might not want to go home after all develops, which might still be tolerable (even if I would have complained about it).
It became really critical for me when her quests were no longer ‘improve your social standing’ or ‘make the prince fall in love with you’, but ‘fall in love with character X’. Not only is the mission just stupid, love shouldn't and can't be forced like that, but any chance of there being any funny scenes like the one mentioned earlier disappeared. A ‘damn I love you, don't love you. I fucking like you, I DON'T LIKE YOU!’ after the other until I was completely fed up.

The story had potential, but for me it killed itself.
