(tl;dr at the end)
if you like childcare rofan manhwas, this is for you. it's basically one of the perfect examples of a good childcare manhwa. you've got a good plot, good characters, and a good family. it's a typical "i was reincarnated as a child!" setting, but i think it personally handles the job pretty well and makes it unique from other childcare manhwas.
first of all, i really like eileen as a character. she's a nice FL who tries to get along with the people around her while being self conscious, which i think it's realistic. it isn't hard for some people to forget about
...
their goals, and i think eileen is one of those people. she's willing to get along with her family, and the original FL. her feelings towards her grandfather are also quite reasonable. it's understandable that she's afraid of him based off how he acts towards her but also her first encounter with him. at the same time, she's also a lovable FL that everyone in the etam duchy loves. in other words, eileen is basically a normal childcare manhwa FL with some unique and extra elements to her as a character.
for the friends she makes, i think they're also pretty realistic. it's understandable how they feel and it feels like you're able to see why they act a certain way and how they express their feelings and emotions towards others and eileen.
the setting is pretty nice, it's quite a common manhwa setting but i really like it. i feel like it suits the manhwa really well and i definitely like the way the setting is used in the story.
also, i think the character development is handled really well. you can see it slowly developing and forming, and it seems really natural in the setting.
tl;dr: nice characters, nice FL, nice setting, good character development

i'm so glad i'm slowly forgetting what happened in this manga — it was a piece of trash and doesn't even deserve to be in my brain. there's better yandere stories to read out there, and i definitely had to turn off my head for this one.
the story literally went somewhere. first chapter started normal with the usual regression etc, but then in less than 10 chapters it gets weird. maybe even 5, i don't remember. one thing could be happening in the manga, and suddenly something else is happening. overall, the plot is all over the place. if you read it in japanese and
...
you're not even fluent at all, you wouldn't even need the panels to conclude that it had a horrible storyline.
the characters? in my opinion, i found them trash. there was nothing important to them, i've read so many villainess-yandere mangas, and yet this is probably one of the worst ones i've read. it's not even normal or average or generic, it's below that. there isn't anything unique about the characters, and it honestly felt like you went through a ton of different mangas and took a character from each. they're all so different and random if i'm going to be honest, except the female and male lead (kind of)
overall, just don't read this and go for another villainess-yandere manga. if you really can't find anything, go ahead and read this and see how horrible it is. turn off your head and don't have a high expectation for it, and you're good.

Absolutely beautiful. That's the only way I could ever describe a manhwa like this.
TL;DR: I've never read something like this. A rollercoaster of emotions and characters that ensure you continue to read. A truly talented writer that never fails to amaze readers like us. If you don't like the first few chapters, try and give it a shot! I hope it'll end up appealing to you in the end.
For such great art and a deceiving cover, it's not like this at all. Both of our main characters have trauma and severely suffer from it. So many misunderstandings that aren't little, but big. It's full of
...
drama but romance as well, and I love the psychological theme as well. It truly isn't your average reincarnation manhwa with a happy ending - it's more than that. From uncovering secrets to befriending your enemy, and gradually falling in love with them, this manhwa is a rollercoaster of emotions. I've never read something so depressing yet heartwarming, the writer's talent is truly amazing!
Both of our main characters are smart in their very own way. Laliette using her past life's memories to solve the missing pieces in her current life is interesting. Despite Rupert not being a reincarnator, he has his own talent. The secrets he hides from his own "family" and the emotions he hides to the point where he doesn't even know what he's feeling himself. It's truly amazing.
Overall, I've never read something so interesting, depressing, and heartwarming. I've cried, felt disappointed, and over the moon through simple romantic interactions. If you love isekai manhwas, that include romance, and a slight psychological theme, this is for you! Even if it doesn't appeal to you at first, try atleast 20-40 chapters (or the 1st season), it's definitely worth it.

An absolute masterpiece, would definitely recommend!
In her 7th time loop, things are finally changing. After dying in various ways to prevent her death (which unfortunately failed), she's back at her 7th time loop, and is engaged to her enemy and killer, Arnold Hein, known to be a ruthless man.
Each volume focuses on one different story, so you'll see a new character (or a few) appearing in the story! You also get to see more of both Rishe and Arnold's emotions, but you also get to see them forming a closer bond with each other. A balance between romance and fantasy!
Of course, each story has it's
...
own way of telling the story. In rofans, it usually involves supernatural elements, being reborn, etc. and this one includes our main character getting reborn of course, but it's different! It's much more slow paced but still as exciting. As someone who enjoys a fast pace every now and then, this was also enjoyable! Seeing them form a closer bond and seeing more of Arnold's emotions (volume 4 is currently at 4/10 of his emotions, according to the author) being revealed to the readers and Rishe is good enough for someone like me.
You should read it if: you love a bit of fantasy and romance, you enjoy seeing a closer bond being formed between 2 characters, you like slow paced romance plots, strong female characters, etc!
If you do read this, I hope you like it! It's one of my favourite light novels and mangas, and definitely worth trying to read!

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!
I really like this manhwa! At first, when I first saw this being released on webtoon, I wasn't planning on reading it. But now, I'm glad I did!
Ariadne is a strong FL who plans on living her life as an independant woman. Having the upper hand due to travelling back in time, she is able to change the fate that she was intended to have. She manages to get on the ML's side (Alfonso), who falls in love with her and aims to make her queen. Although she didn't intend to fall in love with anyone in her new life, she opens
...
up to him later on in the story. The plot is not rushed at all and balances the theme of drama and romance.
Cesare, our FL's previous fianceé, is a wicked man after Ariadne. After noticing that he would be able to use her to obtain the throne, he pursues her. This may have worked the first time, but this won't trick our smart FL for the second time. Despite sending extravagant gifts to Ariadne, she continues to reject him and his proposal. An awful man who is simply after power, the 1st and 2nd time.
Alfonso, our ML, is interested in our FL. He is the current prince and is a kind man. He met Ariadne in the first few chapters, where he realises that a young woman had been offering her meals to a younger child. This is where Alfonso falls for Ari at first sight. Alfonso is a great ML who refuses to rush the relationship between him and Ariadne, in order to stay on good terms, whilst still being in love with her. He has looked out for her multiple times and has reassured our FL multiple times. He's a great prince, and definitely a better person than Cesare!
Our FL's stepsiblings are evil—except Arabella! She slowly opens up to Ariadne after she attempts to change Arabella's fate. Giving the opportunities that she had not once received, she soon realises that Ariadne isn't the person she thought she was. She was someone who looked out for her, even if it would cause chaos in the De Mare residence.
Our two other stepsiblings can't even be properly expressed in words. They're absolutely evil and don't even deserve to live under the same roof as Ari. Both are simply after power, living the life as evil supporting characters.
Before I continue to talk more and more about I'm The Queen In This Life to the point where I retell the whole story, I'll be ending my review here! Overall, this manhwa is a great read for those who love drama and romance. Thank you to webtoon for putting it on the front page schedule!!

It's a good manhwa, but some things bother me. Overall, it's a great read so far! TL;DR at the end. (Contains spoilers)
I saw another reader point this out in the comment section of this manhwa, where they said that she continuously goes through the same things, etc. and is saved by the male lead, Iske, in the end. This is true, but it has made the characters in the manhwa realise many things, as as include opportunities for a romantic moment and a dilemma.
Secondly, she trips way too often. I know it's normal to stumble or be clumsy now and then, but the author uses
...
this way too often. There are multiple illustrations of her tripping often, which would probably be over ten times (no exaggeration at all). I feel like the writer could've used something else to build a closer bond between the FL and the ML, but I can tell that these moments were only meant to slightly contribute to their relationship and intend for them to build their way up.
Our antagonist, Freya, is quite interesting. She is an antagonist who will hide herself from others. Usually, in romance manhwas, the antagonist will reveal herself quite early into the plot. However, this one was different. I'm pretty pleased with how the author created Freya as well as her personality, it's different from other manhwas that I've read.
Adding on to the dark side of the story, the author does not forget to include the De Borgia family. We see a chapter now and then including Cesare, Rudbeckia's elder brother. This reminds us of a number of events that will happen in the later chapters that will involve him, just like a warning. I would say the author's writing techniques are quite average, but this gives a nice addition to the story.
I would recommend this manhwa to anyone who enjoys a romantic plot! It includes a historical setting and sweet romantic moments, with a sprinkle of magic. A bit of everything for the readers!
TL;DR - The plot is quite repetitive at times, but slowly gets better. Would recommend it for romance lovers!

You're welcome to call me cringe, but, I like vtubers.
I'm not here to share my love for vtubing and how much I love the livers from companies like nijisanji, hololive, vshojo, etc.
I didn't watch any of Kizuna's streams, although, I don't like the idea of using the model in the anime. Vtuber models are amazing, although I don't believe it's fitting for an anime. You'll see popular vtubers like gawr gura, mori calliope and Ironmouse using their models at virtual concerts and during their streams, but not during their music videos. Due to her being one of the first vtubers, this would've been different. Although,
...
it's now 2023. Couldn't they have at least decided to make her 2D for once? You'll see that in all of her song covers, she uses her model. It's as if they hardly had any money to spend on the anime itself and decided to use her model and act as if she was streaming.
The plot itself is strange, considering how Kizuna retired from her live-streaming activities and is no longer active. In some way, she has 'disappeared', but this is a horrible way to represent it. Kizuna's actor has changed over the years and there have been arguments about it, surely it would've been normal? Many know that Kizuna is no longer active as she used to be back in 2017, so why would they make an anime regarding her "disappearance" whether it was fictional or not? "Hello world 2022, the last live" already said enough as it was. There's no need to make a whole anime with the plot all about it. I think the reason why she "disappeared" is self-explanatory as it is.
Anyways, as someone who watches vtubers herself, this has been the worst way to represent kizuna's story and could've been better.

To those who are looking to not be spoiled, I suggest not reading the manga just yet, as the manga is almost the same as the anime !!
Personally, I prefer the manga over the anime. Although they are almost the same, I find the manga more enjoyable.
In the manga, you can see each character's expressions way more profound than you do in the anime. Aqua is a great example for explaining this, due to him being one of the main characters. You're able to see his expressions and see his true intentions. I've seen a lot of people believing that (character) is __ or ___
...
but in fact, they're not. The anime can be seen as misleading in some episodes, as well as making it seem like Aqua likes Ai (many will know that Gorou was in love with Sarina) in the episode where Akane acts like Ai.
This review is a bit messy, although I do hope that you do enjoy both (or either) the anime and manga!
