Another lovely otome fantasy isekai with a typical OP 'not-a-villainess' villainess, a cliche "twist" to the "heroine" and nothing overly original. Honestly?  Absolutely wonderful.  It's exactly what you expect, but I can't get enough of it.  It's just above average, but I'll definitely read it more than twice because it's exactly the type of thing I like.

Definitely a fun one, if rather simple. The main character's personality is the highlight for sure; mistreatment has left her mostly desensitised to hatred but incredibly sensitive to praise, which makes the happy moments so much more powerful. They accidentally made it a little racist for a moment by giving her light skin as a sort of reward that everyone celebrated, but fortunately that was edited back dark. I get what they intended but it's so not how it came across. Short and sweet, if you don't want something tense and high stakes then this'll do it for you.

It took three years for this to be completely translated but I'm glad I stuck along for the ride. The ending felt a bit rushed though and I wish there was more of an epilogue

It was fun in the beginning seeing our mc trying ot change the stigma around her appearance. I feel after her persuits for equality and 'being kind' she just ended up being a pushover. She just accepts everything! I love the dark spirit kign he's rly cool and funny. But her pushover personality just threw me off.

Dropped at chapter 11
