[Yuyu_yusha]

All we need is for some deliciously plump corrupt nobles to show up.

The perfect sandbag 👌
The more the merrier.

Somewhat nice fresh start, being a mom to a villainess but shes now a bodyguard and shit?

 

[Lonely0n1y]

IMO, she has a bit too much of a short-fuse and her actions are a bit over the top. But still, an enjoyable read.

We rarely see this kind of otome MCs. She is cool for that

 

[lolikonjack]

A mother would do anything for their children.

The one who wears pants in this house.

Literally

 

[Luminiera]

Great first 3 chapters! The MC is so cool and her daughter is absolutely adorable.

Does anyone have any recommendations similar to this?

 

[Kaarme]

She needs steel-reinforced heels. The current ones are no match for her power.

 

[LuckyNChance]

Ugh, I need a woman like this in my life. Peak female performance.

 

[Nisa5552]

Y'all I need her fr. Women with scars. Women who pull off masculine clothing well. I'm goin coocoo for cocoa puffs over here

 

[jarjaxle]

Mom is SO Cool!

WHO DA FUCK THIS TUTOR THINK HE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[gum_rummy]

ma'am what are you doing?

 

[TripleEm]

THIS WOMAN IS SO DAMN COOL

 

[Jokerxy]

So why is this tutor allowed to talk to her like this and run roughsod? One word from.hwr with the Duke and he should be gone, I dont like how the author is trying to go about this.

 

[looc64]

But really, shouldn't the point of marrying MC have been for her to do stuff like chaperone Ati at times like this?

IMO, she has a bit too much of a short-fuse and her actions are a bit over the top. But still, an enjoyable read.

Edit: After reading up to chapter 8 I realised that it's not that she has a short fuse or is a bit over the top. It's that I personally find the way the story is presented to make it feel very awkward for me to read. I don't know if it's the pacing or something else but to me personally it feels like the author is trying their best to make her look badass constantly but they aren't just quite hitting the right notes.

I still can't fully articulate in my mind why I'm feeling like something's off while I'm reading this. I like the premise and the idea of this kind of strong female MC. But something just feels off for me.

Was saying this last chapter but I think what's off the "Isekai into otome game after struggling with infertility" part sorta clashes with her badass backstory.

The "Isekai into an otome game after struggling with infertility and now I'm my favorite character's stepmother" setting sorta comes with a feeling of "Some cosmic force brought brought me to a place where I can defy destiny and make the future better."

Meanwhile, "My twin died, I got attacked by a bear, I went through two divorces, and now I'm this precious little girl's stepmother" backstory comes with a feeling of, "I have struggled and overcome a lot of adversity, and as a result I just happened to end up in a place where I can make the future better."

The problem is that if you put the Isekai, the long badass backstory, and the current hopeful story in that order then it feels like, "Some cosmic force brought me to a place where I'd have to go through a ton of trauma before finally arriving at the place where I can make the future better."

Like instead of just Isekaiing her directly into the stepmom or getting to defy fate from the get go she had to lose a twin, get attacked by a bear, and go through two divorces first. Also she probably had to come to terms with not having biological children again.

I think if I had my druthers I'd keep the badass backstory MC and sorta outsource the Isekai otome game fan part? Something like, in the original timeline MC stayed single and the Marquis married the evil stepmother, in this timeline she finds a game strategy guide or hears the voice of a fan of the game and that convinces her to marry the Marquis.
