Good:
* great setting and lore. A goddess that believes in emotional love and a dragon god who believes in logic/reason is a cool concept.
* silly comedy with fun lead characters. I love how badass and active FL is. And the ML has some good character development towards the end of the season.
* wholesome romance (except for the age-gap thing, which is weird, but anime gotta anime).

Bad:
* predictable plot with lots of plot conveniences. there's not tension at all.
* Garbage animation and production.

Overall
Despite the low budget, I was able to enjoy the show. If you don't like the main characters though, you should just ... drop it early on.

Plot
FL could see ghosts and everyone she told this to thought she was just being a attention whore or crazy. She gets isekai-ed by truck-kun, and still sees ghosts, but she keeps this a secret because the empire has a strict policy of burning sorcerers (witches) since a 1000 years. Her younger sister easily attracts evil spirits, so, FL is now determined to protect her at any costs. In present, she discovers an assassination plot via ghosts and decides to help the prince in exchange for the prince granting protection to her family, in case their family ever gets blamed for witchcraft.

Review
Good:
* Absolutely stunning ... Art. Probably the most beautiful OI and the quality is consistent until now (108 chapters). The character designs are H O T (every single character) and can even distract you from the story itself sometimes.
* The plot is unique, and has a lot of mysteries going on at the same time. You have to pay attention as the series uses the "unreliable narrator" trope, or you will easily miss many clues that are sprinkled throughout.
* The characters are smart, and have a personality. Most named characters have their own feelings, motivations and goals.

Bad:
* At the end of the day, the story comes down to blessings/curses by powerful entities like gods, so, it feels like everyone is a puppet with no agency.
* There's a decent amount of angst. And the romance is just boring. There's little chemistry other than the two leads being pretty and the "childhood love" trope.

Overall
It is definitely a strong series, and worth giving a try. If nothing else, you can appreciate the beautiful art.

A generic childcare series, that hides its lack of creativity with bland meta humor.

Plot
FL (a RoFan addict) dies in an accident and is invited by a supernatural entity to be reincarnated into RoFan (Otome Isekai genre ) story with a handsome dad, handsome brothers and a special power. She's born as the daughter of the duke, who was raised at her maternal uncle's home and is abused by said uncle (and his daughter) for child labor. Duke returns from war in second chapter, takes back his child (FL) and we enter the "heal the trauma" phase of childcare story.

Review
To be honest, this is ... one of those series which start with a great hook and turn into the run-of-the-mill filler after barely 2 chapters. It's like food that smells delightful, but tastes like plain rice.

First, lets talk about the setting. The angel/devil that makes a reincarnation contract with our FL is kinda mysterious. FL doesn't know the future, as this is a new story. She is granted a special "system", which grants her quests that reward points on success. Then, she can redeem the points to use the powers of any heroine from any RoFan novel that she read. But we never see anything interesting done with that idea. It only exists for the author to use it as a plot device to move the story forward (eg: solo leveling). I can only assume that the angel/devil is writing a new story, and uses our FL as heroine. And whenever the story gets boring, he will give FL quests to make the story more spicy/interesting.

Second, we have our FL. She was supposed to be a RoFan addict, but fails to even recognize the most basic tropes. It feels insulting because she only uses her knowledge for the same jokes that we already have seen in memes (how all main characters are cold dukes of the north with black hair and red eyes etc..). We are stuck in an awkward place, where FL wants to be seen as a badass who uses her knowledge/power, but she is also somehow still an innocent child with a tragic past (for all of 4 years btw). She just comes off as an incompetent character.

Third, lets talk about the abuse. Because it makes no goddamn sense. The duke has to go to war and leaves the child with his wife's brother. So, this guy, not only pockets child support and gives FL's expensive gifts sent by duke to his daughter instead, but also makes 3-year old FL work as a maid to "earn" her food. He verbally abuses her, telling her that she's a child born out of affair (of his sister ffs), she's abandoned by duke for being unable to use magic etc.. So, all of this leads to one question. Why? only ymir knows. Because I cannot understand his endgame plan. He was a villain, just for the sake of giving our FL a "tragic" backstory, so that the future childcare manhwa can heal all that trauma.

All of this is not to say that it is garbage. There's some decent comedy and lots of fluffy childcare vibes. The art is great with lots of meme-ish panels. But, at the end of the day, it all just feels like the same generic filler with not actual characters/plot. We get teased with plenty of mysteries like the war, the magic, the brothers, the mother, the identity of duke's bloodline, the mysterious angel/devil at the beginning etc.., but for 25 chapters, we barely make any progress on any of those plot threads. I'm fine with reading fluffy childcare manhwa, but it's all the teasing of those other plot-threads, which makes me think that we will see "more", but all we get is more filler fluff.

Overall
There's nothing new here. If you like childcare, you will find plenty of fluff. Even if the story *seems* to be more than that, keep your expectations in check or you will end up disappointed like me.

cute child-care + heavy romance + decent comedy.

Plot
FL transmigrates into a random extra character, who is on the verge of bankruptcy due to her overspending habits. OGML is a missing child, and his duke uncle (ML) announces reward for whoever finds the missing OGML. FL uses her novel knowledge to find OGML and use the reward money to pay off her debt. This starts a childcare plot with OGML and romance with the duke.

Review
Good:
* Beautiful art. I especially love the cute and innocent expressions of OGML.
* lots of comedy. early parts are carried by FL's over-emotional family and later parts are carried by duke's ... desperation for FL.
* heavy focus on clean romance. There's no weird age-gap relationships or animal husbandry or toxic ML shit. This is 100% pure and goofy romance.
* warm and fluffy vibes. Our bunny-like OGML is really adorable and melts anyone's heart. And most main characters like FL's parents or duke are also very caring and love our FL/OGML a lot.

Bad:
* For a heavy romance like this, it is annoying to see ML make up nonsense instead of straight up confessing to FL. It feels a little dishonest to propose a contract marriage while hiding his feelings.
* Just like many otome isekai stories, there's no point in making FL an otherworld soul. Just give her future knowledge by regression.

Overall
The manhwa is basically perfect for its target audience by giving them what they want (cute fluffy vibes + romance). It focuses on its strengths and doesn't rely on angst or tragic past (eg: abuse, orphan, terminal illness etc..). It is very light-hearted and easy to recommend.

fluffy childcare vibes + murder mysteries + the usual OI tropes.

Good:
* gorgeous art. All (both male and female) characters are hot. Marianne (duke's sister) is great in both looks AND personality.
* Simple, but cool plot seamlessly mixes mysteries and fluffy childcare plot. There's some sparse comedy too. The setting of a secret "serial killer hunter" magician duke is pretty intriguing.
* lots of cute moments, where the child is cuddled/spoiled/fawned over by daddy, brother, aunt and butler characters.
* A quality villain who feels threatening. TBH, all characters are great and have an air of mystery about their past.

Bad
* Murder mystery writing is ... kinda garbage. MC magically (literally) gets information to solve the puzzle, while others think she's some genius (NOT in a funny way like tearmoon/overlord/eminence in shadow).
* annoying trope of MC overthinking and worrying that she will be thrown out if she's not useful, despite the family repeatedly telling her explicitly that they love her.
* general OI nonsense: making MC's past and current life tragic like being terminally ill or an orphan for pity points, making the duke/brother/everyone obsessed with MC for no reason, MC hiding her memories of past life from her family thinking nobody would believe her etc..

Overall
If you can look past certain overused tropes, the series is quite good (by relative OI standards). It has a unique setting and already setup seeds for interesting future plots (eg: the workings of the church). But, after season 1 (40 chapters), the author had to take a 2-year+ hiatus for cancer treatment, so, there's very few chapters released (only 50 at this moment). If you can't deal with weekly cliffhangers, I recommend binging one season at a time.

Some good parts, but the reset of the series is mid.

Plot
10 years old FL is married to 20 years old ML by her father. She isolates herself in her room and just spends money on luxurious items. Eventually, she hears rumors about ML having a mistress and decides to have an affair herself. When ML, along with her father and brother, dies at war, she is kicked out by ML's brother for the affair. After living for a while as beggar, she prays to gods for second chance at life, so that she can not repeat the same mistakes. And she regresses back.

Review
Good:
1. The princess ... is hot and would be really cool as a main character.
2. The antagonist is a real sadist, but he doesn't get many moments to shine.
3. The side characters like the maid or commanders are fun and kinda carry the series during the boring parts. I also love the side ships a lot.
4. Some great comedy moments. I especially loved the greedy priest who's just trying to aim for promotion.
5. Good art (although it's a little plain).

Bad:
1. The main couple are frustrating due to their constant misunderstandings and lack of communication. . It is also weird that her powerful father would marry her off to a lower noble like ML. And the age gap is just eww.
2. Despite getting a second chance at life, FL still seems childish. She keeps worrying about things, but does nothing. Her entire plan is to gather funds by.. selling laces and designer candles. She could have saved so many lives, just by sharing information with her husband or father, but she prefers just panicking internally.
3. The story is way way longer than it needs to be. lots of space is wasted on angst filled misunderstandings.

Overall
A lot of the series (especially main romance track) is generic OI trash. But the side characters and art are good enough that you can continue read at least the main story. Keep your expectations low.

Plot
Bullies uses MC's phone to lure and rape MC's childhood friend/crush. When MC arrives to stab the bullies with knife, the demon of lust appears and offers him a contract to take "proper revenge". MC will get teleportation skill and help from demon, to mindbreak and NTR the bullies, just like they raped his childhood friend.

Review
Good:
* edgy story of revenge. demon plans a strategy using psychological techniques and MC executes that strategy. He does question his methods at times, but fortunately, he remembers the past and just commits to his mission.
* We do have lots of [short] erotic scenes. They are kinda fucked up ... and dark at times, but also happy (?) like a regular harem at other times (stockholm syndrome?).
* The demon girl is written as this bright and bubbly cousin which contrasts hard against the dark setting. She basically hard carries this manga.
* perfect title. NTRevenge describes this series perfectly, and you know exactly what you are getting into.

Bad:
* Garbage Art: the manga looked like a rough draft/sketch of outlines and almost no shading. Erotica with bad art are just sad.
* Slow pacing and Irrelevant filler: The investigation of kidnapping by cops is distracting and drags the pacing. There's also a lot of scenes which try to show how the girls are competing with each other for MC, but IMO, they just don't belong in a dark story like this.

Overall
It is very hard to recommend an erotica with bad art. Still, if you are here for NTR + revenge, then you are at the right place. Every story has its target audience and this is an average / good-enough series for that audience.

Plot
FL is the child of a commoner prostitute (single mother). When the count marries this prostitute, FL is adopted as the count's daughter. But the count's legitimate daughter hates FL (and her mother) for being commoners. She uses rumors and manipulates FL into becoming a villainess, eventually leading to FL and her mother's death. FL regresses back in time, and using her newfound time travel powers, she will have her revenge on the stepsister (and her supporters).

Review

The good things:
* FL is morally a gray character. She is super [fake] nice to people, who will gain power in the nearby future, so that ... she can use them for her revenge.
* The story commits to the core aspect of revenge until the climax. It takes a long time, but by god, FL enacts her revenge step by step, meticulously, with utmost care until the evil sister breaks down.
* I love how ML and FL help each other in their revenge. Even in romance, the characters are united by hatred.
* Great art and character designs. I don't know why, but I love FL's braided hairstyle. Her maid also gets a huge towards the end.

The bad things:
* Mielle (stepsister) is a child, who was taught by people around her to hate FL. She just doesn't make a compelling villain, as all she does is hate and be a dumbass.
* The conflict between commoners and nobles was completely ruined, when it was revealed that FL has royal blood. In fact, the whole "royal blood grants power" is just such an middle finger to commoners vs nobles narrative. There is a meme about "poo people" and this series is basically an example of that.
* This story grants time travel powers (upto 5 minutes) to FL for having royal blood . It just makes FL feel like a hack/cheat, who gets everything handed to her on a silver platter.
* Second ML is an absolute ass with zero personality. I was really hoping for him to do something, but he stays pitiful until the end.
* The revenge ends at 107, but we have a looooong epilogue of 20 chapters which just pisses me off even more, because we are shown that problems must be fixed by time travel powers and god granted miracles to those of royal blood.

Overall
Even with all the faults, I was happy to read this because I love a badass protagonist who commits to her goal of revenge.

This is a very easy series to review. The plot is a generic otome-isekai story, but we get to see it unravel from the perspective of the yandere ML.

Good:
1. short runtime: With less than 40 chapters, it is easy to binge.
2. heavy usage of tropes: This allows the series to skip a lot of routine filler and let the readers fill the gaps with their imagination. readers must familiarize themselves with the OI genre before picking up this series.
3. lots of fluff: As we read the story from ML's point of view, we get to see our fluffy FL doing cute things all ... the time. Our FL claims to be a villainess, but is more or less a clumsy tsundere.
4. Good art: One complaint would be that most female character designs looked the same as each other.
5. yandere ML: I really appreciated his PoV and loved watching his frozen heart slowly melt due to FL's warm affection. I also loved how smart and balanced he was throughout the entire series.
6. wholesome families: Almost every character had a loving family and while all of them were great parents/siblings, I want to specially call out FL's dad for being the best father (even with all her flaws and quirks).

Bad
1. TSTL FL: Too stupid to live FL can be very annoying, as everyone around her rallies into fan clubs to love her or protect her. Even after completely changing the OG plot, she keeps trying to get the ML and OGFL to fall in love, while refusing to explain *why* she is so desperate to get them together.
2. incoherent OGFL: She seems to be isekai-ed, but is dumber than FL, which is an impossible feat. It was very weird, because she hallucinates things that never happened and just simply seems to lack a coherent and functioning brain. I am genuinely concerned that she hit her head and is mentally challenged.
3. lack of any tension: There's barely 2 antagonists (OGFL and one side character). Both of them are stupid, so when our "genius" ML takes them down with boring plans, all I felt was emptiness. It just feels like a tiger acting mighty, while stomping an ant.
4. generic plot: While the yandere ML's PoV is a good hook, the core story is still generic with no creativity from the author.

Overall
The series is easy to recommend due to its short length, but please remember that this is targeted at experienced readers who are already families with OI genre's tropes. If you don't like the main "hook" (yandere ML PoV), there's not much else to find here. I personally loved the fluff, even if I felt sorry for the brain-damaged OGFL. The first chapter is a good intro and should be enough to know whether you will like this series.

This is a mid generic childcare manhwa. The pretty art is probably the only good thing about the series.

FL is the typical innocent/pure woman who will win over everyone with her love and kindness. ML is a simp for his wife. The child will also become a simp for his mom's attention. None of the characters have any depth or charm. The story tries to make you pity the ML or child because they have been waiting for FL's love for so long, but sadly, I couldn't care at all.

FL lost some of her memories, and only remembers parts like how she ignored ... the duke (husband) or how her family abused her. The mysterious past and her reasons to not accept the duke's love could be interesting, but dear god, after 24 chapters, all we get are shallow "cute moments". I cannot spoil the story for you, because there's no story. It is just an empty shell.
