Isekai
Wow I've read way too many of these..
This Time I Will Definitely Be Happy
5/10. Literally fine. the audience for this one may have been on the young side though. I'd guess ~13 year olds would like it? Drawn in traditional style.
7/10, would be 8 if the main character had a bit more character growth. It's got cute, traditional art, very high quality. The pet in this story is absolutely one of the most adorable things I've ever seen. Everything is fine, very classic, and makes 70% sense (which is pretty high). The main character is very vanilla, very white lotus. She's nice to everyone and everyone likes her. She solves her problems quickly, faces adversity from clearly very evil people, and overall does very boring things, but cutely.
9/10, its art is really beautiful. Athy stays as a child for quite a while, but I think it is overall one of the best-paced mangas I've ever encountered. The characters are a bit overly angsty, and a bit overpowered, but the conflict feels very real and interesting. There aren't derpy miscommunications driving the plot, which is super good. There's a lot that's still kind of shrouded in mystery, but not the kind of mystery where it feels like there are just holes everywhere. It's a classic!!
6/10, It caught my attention for quite a while, but got boring fairly quickly. I honestly don't really remember too much about it. I'm a little bit mad that she stayed short lmfao.
7/10, It's a classic! I'd recommend this one, but it's more on the court-intrigue side than I'd normally prefer.
5/10 The OG isekai. Elise is a way-fucking overpowered doctor. I don't think she fails at doing a single thing during the whole manga. It's a good one for beginners, and if you're just looking for an OP girl doctor doing amazing shit, this is the one for you.
5/10 It's kind of similar to Elise. Although the MC is quite a bit more flimsy than Elise, for some reason the two series remind me of each other. But also, the main conflict doesn't make a ton of sense, TBH.
6/10 Similar to the above, except the main character is not as OP. The whole series is court intrigue.
7/10 I liked this one. The main characters actually had a decent amount of chemistry/slow burn (iirc, I actually read this a long time ago). There ended up being a plot. I think the art is better than Elise/AE/What it takes
7/10 I like the art, and the plot is ok, but the romance still has miscommunication. It is very cute to watch the male lead blush though XDDD. He's whipped af.
6/10 The concept was interesting, the art was fine, but I remember not really being enamored with the specifics of the plot.
2/10. Please let it end... Please... The smartphone concept was so good, but then the characters were incredibly stupid, and the villainess was actually the worst. The art started out fine and got worse and worse.
2/10. An OG, but omg. The misogyny is unbearable. In fact, I think everyone is just unbearable... There's a central plot, I think, but... idk.
3/10. The main character is a big crybaby. The male lead is a crazy psycho. They tried to tie the plot up well (and it ALMOST worked), but still. CrybabyXPsycho.
5/10. The art is cute, but I don't feel like there was any plot. It was like, one of those "Overpowered Dad" isekai.
7/10. This one is so OG that she's not even a villainess, lmfao. I think it's pretty good, but I can't remember it that well.
5/10. I (not-so)-secretly like this one... lmfao. It's where an ancient person comes to modern times. She's a bit too OP and it kind of makes no sense, but eh XD. Feels good to see how she puts douchey women in their place lmfao.
6/10. The Antagonist somehow stopped being a major part of this series. It started out kind of interesting? But the court intrigue got kind of stupid. They depict women as being like infinitely catty, which is blegh.
4/10. It's a crazy chinese one. I feel like that's enough info lmfao.
4/10. Weak main character. Was otherwise completely typical.
6/10. I can't remember much that happened in it, but I do feel like it was pretty good.
6/10. Traditional art. OP main character trying to live a normal life. Romance is kinda meh.
6/10. Kinda precious. Also a bit slice of life. I don't think there was much of a plot.
9/10. Yes. So good. Although, honestly she faces a bit too many hardships. She gets through them well. The art is very traditional.
10/10. YES. Omg I'm kind of dying. Hehe. the romance is cute. The MC has no powers except for her cuteness, but nevertheless, the constant flirting is amazing hahahahahaaaa. I think I appreciate that the main character is actually trying to seduce the dude and succeeding, as opposed to trying to push the dude away and managing to seduce him.
7/10. But only because its art is good. The main character is always always mad (which makes sense because somehow her life is always bad). It gets kind of annoying, though.
8/10. It's good and creative. Not a lot of it has come out yet, but worth keeping an eye on.
10/10 ok, I don't like the clothing that much, but HOLY SHIT, an ACTUAL PLOT WTF? I'm like, crying for these people h0ly. It's like pure angst/plot with all the fluff cut out. omfg. Send help, I'm actually dying.
9/10: What can I say? I'm a suckerrr for this type of story. Pretty art, cute side characters, way to OP FL.
10/10 Actually the best shit I've ever read. between a ML that is literally a dog dog and a FL that is OP as shiiit, a cunning as heeelll princess, this story makes every other otome isekai seem like a cheap knockoff.
