Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

It was something that happened while I was waiting for the day of the primary school entrance exam. I realised that I had become one of the characters of a shoujo manga that I loved reading in my old life, ‘You Are My Dolce’.

The role I was assigned was a character who bullied the commoner protagonist and tried to get in the way of her love with a rich boy nicknamed Emperor; a typical villainess rich girl, Kisshouin Reika.

At the end of the story, Reika suffered the Emperor’s retribution and even her family fell into ruin. With the villain gone, the protagonist and the Emperor overcame their trials and became a couple. And they lived happily ever after.

Wait, that’s terrible for meee! The manga ended there, but I have to continue living my life after my family is ruined!

The protagonist can enjoy her romance or love or whatever on her own. I’ll erase my presence so that I don’t anger the Emperor.

Eh-? The story isn’t progressing well because there’s no villain, you say? But I’m busy saving up money and studying so that I can live well after the collapse.

This is honestly a good one. Despite the lack of romance it's hilarious and an enjoyable read. That's why it pains me so to find out that the last update was on 2017, and I can't find it's MTL. I mean, we're going to the good part, so why?

Kudos to the translator, I love the added pics, the comments, the background snippets— admirable! That's all from me.

There is literally no pacing, the first few chapters are okay, but you'll reach a mark where you just can't finish it because it has become so tedious. There was hardly any development throughout the novel (even though there are 300+ chapters).

A realistic otome style story. Though the progress is slow, it is an interesting read and hilarious at places. The difference from the normal otome style stories is apparent and it is handled well.

This is a really cute story with a really soft hearted FL. It's a story about her daily life since she enters primary school up to high school (for now so I really wish the hiatus ends to know what will happen next). As you read this you get swept away by the various emotions of the FL which is really nice.

Romance wise ... more>>
Spoiler

the FL still hasn't had any boyfriend which is really sad since she keeps on advising other people when she should start looking at her own romance and not just dream about it. Personally I am shipping her with Enjou as he seems like the only possible choice and he seems to care about her. Well we don't see it clearly but there are some small things he does for her and you can see it the most in chapters from other characters' POVs. The only problem is that for some reason she always thinks that he is scheming something so she always tries to keep her distance from him. I mean I understand that she does that for the Emperor Kaburagi since she knows he is destined to end up with the main heroine of the manga and thinks that he will cause her family's fall but why lump Enjou toooo T_T

Ah I have to add that Enjou is the only character that I can't read at all, I wonder what he really thinks so if there is a POV I'd like to read it would be his

This is an entertaining read so far. However, there's one important aspect that bums me out. The MC is too unambitious, she has no goals or anything. This is pretty funny and a great time killer, but this problem became so obvious now that the high school arc is about to end. It's supposed to be a different story, and now it ended up as the OG story only on the MC's perspective. It barely revolve around the MC, the narrative is mostly similar to a diary or a memo... more>> log that you could just skim without missing any important details. <<less

Kenkyo Kenjitsu is a comedy first and foremost and its fantastic in how the comedy is written and paced. Barely an ounce of drama to be found, definitely no melodrama or angst. Not really a romcom mind you - the romance is limited to say the least - but you'll definitely fall in love with Reika-sama!

(There are 2 translations. The one listed on the site is much better imo, but the other one is fairly well ahead, make of it what you will)

Nice and funny slice of life story. Really good for light reading.

The MC is a funny airhead (also many characters are too), so don't think too much about common sense reading this.

The story timeline progress in a nice pace. Quite nice plot. World building is a bit vague since it's using an alternate Japan, and so some doesn't make sense. But since it's supposed to be fun, light-hearted reading, this is already perfect.

This is the only weird thing that quite disturbs me:

Every year there would be new Pivoine members, while the Zui'ran regulation for entering the primary school was "within 1 hour of commuting". Well, how many wealthy & influential Pivoine-worthy family that have a child every year that live within one hour distance anyway?? How could they have enough member?

Well, once again, since this is supposed to be just a fun story, it's still passable excuse saying this is a rich city they lived in. bwahaha....

And don't expect a romance story. Until now the MC still hasn't any hint of romance, even though she is helping other people in their romance.

So, last night I was able to catch up, and let me tell you I was drearing it but couldn't stop. Super series. Super translator (they even add pictures of the foods and places AND they even explain shortly and optionally at the beginning of chapter some folklore or explain the puns lest easy to translate at the end), basically luxury staff. I recall that one time I browsed this page but didn't start the novel because the premise seemed repetitive. NOPE. I enjoyed it, the pace, the comedy, the... more>> romance, the school drama, the protagonist and every other character. The only thing I had troubles with was with keeping up with every name and character. Well, fantastich. I even have already read fanfiction of it xD maybe I'll read a second round soon. 100% recommended <<less

This novel is brilliant. It is funny and some times heart warming. I really really want Reika and Enjo to end up together. Anyway, the translation is perfect and I even enjoy the pictures that show what foods the characters are talking about!

I love this novel! I could not stop until I was caught up with the current 227 chapters xD

Its a very fun enjoyable read! I stayed up many a night unable to stop myself from reading more and more until very early in the mornings x-x' From reading the other reviews it seems you will either really really love it or you wont (though it seems most love it~). I'd say its worth a try to see if your in the really really love it category too. If you dont... more>> like it after the first few chapters id say maybe its not for you. <<less

THIS IS THE second Japanese web novel I’ve read after the duke’s daughter and what introduced me and made me love about ‘villainess Noble’ girls. Reika-sama is this one character where you’ll never get tired off, even the POVs of the other characters and their own view of things towards Reika’s antics and other characters misunderstanding of our Rococo-Queen. This novel is that novel you’ll never get tired of reading. AND THE TRANSLATOR!! Seriously, Este (-sama) is such a hard working translator. He goes beyond translating and gives us like... more>> a quick explanation of things mentioned in the novel, it’s just plain torture to see the food or the sweets they eat and well he does plays some prank here and there.
Spoiler

still can’t get over with that chapter with the doll ?

well amidst the crazy and fun antics of Reika-sama, the hilarious misunderstandings around her. There are still those subtle hints of mystery and THE CHARACTER GROWTH of each and everyone here is amazing and you just can’t help but love the characters and the way the story progresses. <<less

This story is so good!! The MC is interesting she is basically an ordinary girl who sometimes have to act like an ojou-sama and she have her own funny antics, and I love how she keeps own despairing over her love life well lack of it precisely. But seriously the author need to write about MC love story soon, because I'm dying to know who she is going to end up with. The other characters are also interesting and I really like it when the author wrote other characters... more>> point of view. I love how the MC who are supposed to be the villainess are actually friends with the original heroine!!

The translator are doing a very good job at translating this story, especially when they actually put the picture of food and other stuff that is mentioned on the story. Sadly tho the original author stop updating at chapter 299 don't know if the story is going to update anymore. <<less

I can't really explain why I like this story so much but I can't stop reading it! The MC transmigrated and is supposed to be a jealous villain character. Watching her try to avoid the mean girl route is hilarious and the relationships she makes gives me a good feeling. And I keep rooting for her to have her own romance! If you want to read something funny and light to pass the time this is it. :)

Not sure how I feel about this so far. I would definitely enjoy it as a light read to speed through, but if I think more deeply the main character Reika just rubs me the wrong way. Although she doesn’t remember all her memories, she comes off to me as a 5 year old, despite her having at least some memory of being a teenager. Obviously there would be some childish tendencies due to being just Reika in the beginning, but come on, she’s got the mindset of a teenager... more>> now! Even if she has to act as a child to others because of her physical age, at least her own thoughts would be normal.. Right? Not at all. She is scared of Emperor, who is only I believe 8. She was around 20 at death, that is like saying a high school graduate is scared of a 3rd grader. I don’t know if it is just me, but Japanese novels just give me the vibe of every protaganist being a kid (if anyone knows a book where they actually act their age, please let me know) Every time I recall her being reborn, I just want to quit reading, but since I am only chapter 17, I’ll give it a chance. <<less

If this, and Otoburi, another similar LN with the same premise, is an indication of what shoujo-based reincarnation stories are, then sign me up for more. At least in comparison to all the ones about shounen protags...

This one is a slightly comedic take on the reincarnation genre, this time as the rich ojousama as*hole antagonist of a shoujo-manga. Of course the commoner reincarnate doesn't want to get the Bad End of the original character she now inhabits, so she tries to use some of that great power some people have:... more>> common sense. Like Otoburi, there seem to be divergence from the original "backstory" of the story-within-story shoujo manga that the reincarnate-MC is incarnated into, but we haven't yet even seen the original-Heroine, so who knows how much has changed? As it is, this is mostly a progression-of-life story of the MC's new life, and how she copes with trying to keep things as steady as she can without tripping any landmines that will trigger a Bad End someday down the line. <<less

I absolutely love this novel. The MC’s inner thoughts are hilarious and her interactions with the other characters are funny too. I love how she nicknames other characters in her head and sometimes categorizes them into villages. Overall, I highly recommend reading this novel if you want a good laugh and something easy-going.

I want more, the story is so mellow and nice and the heart really pulls you in when you think about the students who are bully and then were cared kindly by Reiko-oneesama. She cares about everyone and I understand her concerns with Baka and that smile prince since they are amazing but at the same time sort of pitiful, except Creepy Smiles he can handle himself a little too well. But over all I soooo want to know very badly what Reiko is from someone else POV espically from... more>> Enjou's, Baka, and the Students. <<less

I read this novel due to the gap made when a rococo queen character has a grilled squid in her hands (in the novel image). And I was indeed not dissapointed with this novel. Pure comedy! Sacrifice love MC for the sake of comedy! The story is very light, no plotting and scheming and more of eating lol.

I have already read it more than 200chapters. This novel is good. It don’t have much going on but each chapter has it funny or its moment. In the long run, its story is pregressing, albeit very little pace, it’s still progressing into an interesting story.

This series problem however, lies in its repettitive story line sometimes

MC tend to eat a lot. So in the end she had to gone to a diet. Them this story is repeat itself later. It’s not a bad thing to do in a novel. You can even call it to be that novel gimmick. However, when that gimmick tend to eat up a lot of chapter around 10chapter or more each time that make you bored rather quickly.

Another thing I want to point out is that if you want to do a diet gimmick like 10chapters. Please just don’t build up the moment for 15-20 chapters that is a LOT. When I read it and saw it coming. It really make me want to drop it immediatly.

In fact, despite how much I like this novel I already drop it like 4 times already. That’s a lot for me.
