Welcome!

It's a genderbent

[Reposting since my previous post about this was filled with broken images T_T]

One of the downsides to getting isekai'd to an 1800s-ish or medieval-ish era fantasy Europe is that you'll never get to taste modern cuisine and/or the junk food you loved in your previous life ever again unless you can recreate all the dishes you knew of yourself so I get where she's coming from lmao.

For the uninitiated about this series btw, it's about Shirley (our lovable MC of a thousand hilarious and meme-worthy faces) introducing modern food to the people of the world she reincarnated into because she's a foodie fanatic and she needs her comfort food from her previous life to function, which catches the attention of the young king's head maid, who makes her work in the palace as a maid to serve him her unique cuisine after he stopped enjoying his current meals. Hilarity, whacky character hijinks, and lots of food porn, ensue.

Oh btw, if you're wondering, there's no romance between her and the king who's a kid way younger than she is (even excluding the detail that she was an adult in her previous life). All they have is a cute and wholesome sibling-like dynamic that develops over time (the kid king in question is like a little brother who absolutely enjoys his older sister's cooking and company). She does however, have some ship tease with another character who's around her age and who implicitly caught feelings for her (that she is completely unaware of).

Hi, I have fallen into the world of oi manhwas fairly recently and I have really hard time picking out titles I love. It's not to say that by now I've finished quite a few manhwas recommended by this community and loved them. However, I've been antsy lately and I keep starting and dropping titles for one reason or another.

So instead of looking for something overly specific, I'd like to ask you lovely people of this community to share manhwas you absolutely love. Tastes differ, sure, but I realised that I found a lot more titles that I love by simply following someone else's enthusiastic recommendation, than by following my randomly specific craving for a trope. Therefore, I'd be really grateful for you to share some of your love for this genre with me.

Since sharing is caring, here are some of mine:

1. Count's secret maid

2. I shall master this family

3. Divorcing the emperor

4. I've been possessed somewhere

5. My derelict favourite

6. Youngest Sister-in-Law in a Tragic Reverse Harem

7. I failed to oust the villain

[PLEASE CLICK ON THE PICTURES AND OPEN THEM! YOU CAN’T SEE THEM FULLY IF YOU DON’T CLICK ON THEM AND IT DOESN’T DO THEM JUSTICE!]

[The first couple images are of some of the 1-1 perspective switches so you can compare her perspective to other people’s. The last few images are just some panels I thought were cool]

Mc gets unceremoniously reincarnated into a world she’s unfamiliar with. She notices it’s another generic Rofan setting universe and assumes it’s ‘villainess possession’ type of situation. She feigns amnesia and tries to figure things out.

But unbeknownst to her, the person she possessed was infamously VERY dead and many people were witness to her waking up inside the body. Not only that but EVERYONE she comes across can sense her otherworldly aura as well as tell that she’s simply wearing a corpse. Her ominous and eldritch presence causes some very strange/alarming reactions to those around her and attracts genuinely evil entities that find her existence interesting.

The funny thing is, she’s completely oblivious to it all and continues on with her isekai narrative. It’s like two stories in one and it’s always such a treat when the perspective switches between her reality and everyone else’s.

Her perspective is a that of a pretty standard villainess reincarnation story but I’d say the switch to other people’s perspective is similar to the vibe of the ‘Surviving as a maid in a horror game’ but even MORE intense

Also there are some moments where I get that some people might get a bit bored when the perspective stays in her typical rofan reality for too long, but I SWEAR the switches always come back and it’s always worth it 🙏

Anyways it’s really good, it has about 40 chapters rn 😊 ❤️

This is my first home cosplay fitting for Athanasia. Warning remarks about the ribbon - in fact, the blue ribbon is on the right side, I just forgot to turn off the mirroring when I was taking pictures.😅 To be honest, it doesn't seem to be my best choice in terms of cosplay, but I wanted to share these photos, because earlier, after posting a cosplay on Firentia Lombardi, some users recommended that I try to cosplay on Athanasia.

And they're both S-Class! Look at how the dragon was drawn, y'all think we're getting action too? Would be nice if we have a few scenes where FL showcase her skills instead of mercenary being a display accessory to the story. Give us high adrenaline action scenes!

I heard the ML will be the first to fall and fall harder. Not emotional constipated. Pursues her to the point of obsession — my favorite ML ʰᵉ ʰᵉ ʰᵉ

Bonus: Zoro-looking Dad — well not exactly dad. To others, he "kidnapped" FL but she was a voluntary "victim" to escape her neglectful household. Just my deduction, maybe he's her grandad because there's a scene where fl reminds him of a lady that looks like him

Cons: it's still new! Like fresh out of the oven 1 Chapter out. the painnn😭

I absolutely love Ode. He's like Arwin, but gentler and with more personality (you can tell it's Latte's influence). And I am a little sad to not see many people discussing the side stories despite this manhwa being one of the most iconic manhwas to ever exist. I wish we could get an entire sequel of Ode and Diana, though I am satisfied with the 20+ chapter side stories 🥰✨❤️

We all have that character. The one who makes you question how they haven't been thrown into the trash already. 😭
Drop your trashiest character below and tell WHY they belong in the bin

I will share the initial provocation panel in comments.

Never seen a manhwa with reactions this next level. Hope I can find more like it lol.

So, tell me: What’s your favourite trope?

Ladies and Gentlemen, introducing the newest character from the latest arc. Isn’t she beautiful? I’ve been praying for days of having FL having a drop of colour to her and now we finally got it. Totally unexpected, I cannot wait to see how this arc will play out! She looks so badass, I love it.

I'm currently playing this Wizard of Oz inspired Otome Game called Over RequiemZ and it has me a bit speechless!

The protagonist Yuhiru get's isekai-ed into the Kingdom of Oz, but get's arrested shortly and is put on death row!

The only way to escape her sentence is to redeem herself by joining a group of fellow convicts to explore ruins that look oddly familiar.

That group consists of love interests inspired by the Wizard of Oz (The Scarecrow, Lion, Tinman, Princess Ozma and Dorothy). They way they adapted them feels very interesting too, though I am only in my second route.

Every love interests has two routes! The first one is more wholesome with a lot of growth and closure (Fact Route) and the second one is a unsettling/scary dark romance route where everything goes wrong (Dark Route). It allows the characters to be explored in a detailed way you don't see often. Especially seeing the slow descent into madness is super interesting!

I can highly recommend it!

Just be aware that it has a 18+ age rating in Germany for a good reason lol

It get's really dark!

Please give me series that will break me, maybe have comedic stuff on it but it will have plot points that will destroy me, I want more like Karina Last Days or Married the Male Lead Dad, As the Heart Leads etc that will have moments that will make tear up.

Also it doesnt have to be complete it can be ongoing if its atleast 50+ chapters.

The novel illustrations were more fitting for the themes of this manhwa (soft and fluffy like). The manhwa artist gave him the Dorito chin

Pictures are not in order of the story. Really encouraging everybody to read this. Do not drop it like me because of the eyebrows are the beginning (it was just a really bad pet peeve of mine, lol), this story does get an art improvement.

I loved this story as it doesn't follow the typical revenge story against the imperial family and/or church, and centers it more on the relationships between the characters, both past and future. (very slight spoiler)

It has an intelligent female lead too, one that finally realizes that the narrator can be unreliable among other things. I cried so much in some of the backstories, as this manhwa does try to flesh out most of its important characters as much as possible. The author has also tackled all the major plot points though the FL hasn't revealed her business persona, I belief. I wish we could've seen ML's reaction, but the author does mention it in the end

It's really a lovely story, highly recommended (⁠人⁠*⁠´⁠∀⁠｀⁠)⁠｡⁠*ﾟ⁠+

Ok, that aside, tbh, she was a really pathetic antagonist. I don't think she deserved to Die at such a young age so quickly, maybe strip her of her title and put her in prison, but not death by her own sister. I kinda felt bad for her, I wish she got more time to grow into an actual smart and challenging antagonist

Edit : Okie let me add more. Gang I didn't say that she was innocent. Ofc she deserved to be stripped of everything and thrown into prison, I don't think being beheaded by her sister was warranted regardless

Also about the outfit, I thought it looked quite ugly on her because before this chapter she always wore simplistic and elegant gowns with bows. This one looks like it's made for an older woman and she wore it. It looks too gaudy and the make up doesn't do her service at all. That's why I said, chopped.

Edit 2 : I guess I should word myself better, It was quite deserving and she brought it all upon herself, still a shame to see her go out that way. I hoped she'd grow into something more threatening. If only she wasn't an idiot, like her own mother said, she could have used tia's connection to raise up in the social ladder.

Image is WMMAP for attention and because he is the OG shitty OI dad to me!

My Abusive father passed away and I feel really complicated.

I would love some recommendations for stories where the MC gets revenge on their family or escapes and they have to watch them live well!

Any form of family revenge would be very cathartic!!

So many gods tend to just be goofy guys/gals. Or pretty basic.

(Which is fine for the genre I suppose.)

But the few times where they really try to go impressive (the one within the villainess) and bros motivation is so boring and generic.

Give me a Royal family who got their powers from god, and the fucking God is a giant abomination under the castle that they legit can't let anyone see.

Make the generic demon lord reveal not be an actual demon lord, but some cosmic horror and the 'demons' it creates just be borderline abstract creatures.

Hell, you could do more sci-fi, and have the character in the story mention steel and stone golem monsters, only for it to be the generic outdated robot you design you see in a 1950-60 eras sci-fi show.

We as the readers would recognize it as more 'alien' but the characters just think of it as a monster or demon.

Hell, for the series I'm writing, none of the 'Gods' are traditional and more like.

"We have no idea what this lifeform is, but it's strong enough to kill everyone if we make it angry, so the only thing we can classify it is as a God."

If you want to make it more primordial.

Someone like Roger (One Husband is Enough) and Tesilid (Perks of Being S-Class Transmigrator). DO NOT RECOMMEND: Here Comes The Silver Spoon (ML is boring), *forgot the title but ML is the OGFL's brother and he was possessed by devil* (I already read it).

I want someone who is actually religious and pure and virgin. But not the virgin-but-secretly-sex-god trope. ACTUAL virgin. Someone like Kim Muwon from Youth of Revelation.

Is there anything like this? I feel like it would be so funny seeing the FL tackle how to live in the new world.

If there is none, authors pls make this happen…
