i am actually currently reading this one but the plot is so different from other novels and i find it quite interesting~ it really sucks you in. homegirl wakes up in the body of a villainess of this book(?) she read and is now trapped on an island with other important figures of their world. it was originally a R-19 novel, but I love how she finds other solutions to things than just f-ing everyone and using romance. it does have romance coming but she is so cool i think im in love~~ also the way all the guys are hot in this is so unfair #my-idol-for-life #jealous... more>>

this one is so good that i've kept up with it consistently with updates! the number of chapters looks big but they do split translation (/w short chapters sadly). this one isn't super original, it has the troupe of cute young female lead uses her wits to outsmart everyone. so far her wits are all she's got going for her, but im loving every second of it. it is still within reason.... more>>

this one i feel like has a very different vibe from other palace life novels, it does have the common troupe of the non-blood-related sibling who falls in love with you and dote on you blah blah (not complaining though). i feel like the touch of psychological trauma makes it so much more realistic and interesting. plus, the comparison of slowing building up from the bottom makes me savor it more tbh.
