Synopsis

What good is being reborn as the duke's daughter when you're the shame of the family? While her siblings were talented and beautiful, poor Sylvia was called fat and ugly, with a rumored bad personality to boot. Acting out for her cold father's attention only got her exiled from home and made her take her own life. But when the new "Sylvia" wakes up five years before her death, she could care less about the snarky opinions of others—she'll live this life her own way. In a world crawling with demons and thieves, she must use all the resources at her fingertips and prepare to survive on her own. Once she does, it's goodbye to her family and the naysayers... so why are the people who never cared about her before starting to take an interest in her?

This might just be the most underrated gems I've ever come across. The art is SO BEAUTIFUL, the plot is so rich, unique and interesting and all is done so naturally, I didn't feel like anything was ever forced onto me as a reader.

Want a female lead that's the perfect balance between wisdom, power, beauty & overall emotional intelligence? Read it. Want the perfect balance between action, mystery, conspiracy and a romance with no misunderstandings? Read it. I can't recommend it enough.

It kept me hooked from the beginning to the very end and It's one of those stories I'm going to recommend and ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (87/132 eps)

This isekai manhwa follows a woman reborn as a duke's daughter deemed ugly and fat. She decides to live life on her own terms instead of seeking her family's approval.

Story: 5/10
The premise sets up a potentially interesting redemption arc. However, the execution is questionable so far. The MC effortlessly loses weight through magic, removing any meaningful struggle. Any conflict also gets resolved too neatly.

Art: 5/10
The art style is unique but anatomy and proportions feel off at times. Panels can feel cluttered. I appreciate some cute outfits though.

Characters: 4/10
The MC wants independence but remains somewhat passive. Supporting characters are very archetypal - strict dad, good sister, ...
