Stitch

Title: Surviving As A Maid

Author/Story: Cloud Whale Soap

Artist: Heeseo

Rating: Teen

Genre: Drama, Fantasy, Historical, Isekai/Transmigration, BL (Sort of)

Hosted On:  Tapas, Kakao

Official Link(s): English, Korean

Official Summary:

Ash Tolkayn was an ordinary office worker before she somehow became a maid in a BL novel with a scandalous love triangle between the King, his mysterious male lover, and the jilted Queen. But everything changes when the King appoints Ash as the crown prince’s new nanny… after murdering the previous one! Now, on top of juggling the duties of childcare, she finds herself smack dab in the middle of the cutthroat royal drama. Can Ash rise to the challenge and survive as a maid?

My Thoughts:

Surviving As A Maid for being one of the series that gave me trust issues when it came to a new-to-me subgenre of isekai series: girl gets transmigrated into a minor female role in a Boys Love series.

[Webtoon Wednesday] For My Derelict Favorite

Stitch

Title: For My Derelict Favorite

Author/Story: Kim Seonyu (Original), Ryuho (Adaptation)

Artist: Kimyong

Rating: Teen

Genre: Isekai/Transmigration, Revenge, Romance, Fantasy, Time-loop

Hosted On: Webtoon

Official Link(s): English, Korean

Official Summary:

What happens after the story ends with a “happily ever after”? When Hestia enters her favorite novel as a side character, she happily fangirls from the sidelines. Thinking she’ll return home when the story reaches its end, Hestia finds that the only thing awaiting her is the tragic death of her favorite character. Now miraculously restored to the day of the ending, Hestia decides that she’ll no longer spectate from the sidelines – instead, she’ll save her derelict favorite!

My Thoughts:

I know I need to stop saying every single webtoon I read is my favorite but uh… For My Derelict Favorite is part of why I use my Webtoon account regularly. (The other reason was The Remarried Empress.) Yet another isekai romance with a white-haired hottie, this series gets me because I fell hard for the main characters and I find the female lead, Hestia, the most relatable protagonist I’ve seen in ages. After all, if I had the opportunity to fan-stitch over my side or secondary favorite character in a piece of media – wobbling between Zhuzhi-lang in Scum Villain and Suguru Geto in Jujutsu Kaisen – and save them from a certain shitty fate? Of course I would?

Hosted On: Tapas (EN), Kakao (KR)

Official Summary:

The spunky Lady Dillion didn’t realize she was the villain of a romance novel until she encounters Marquess Cedric. Seeing him jogs a dormant memory of the novel’s plot, in which her beloved younger sister dies in childbirth after marrying Cedric. Determined to prevent this, Dillion marries him herself, but what fate awaits her when she knows he’s meant to fall in love with the real female lead later? In this marriage of convenience, it seems nothing turns out quite how either of them expects…

My Thoughts:

One of the things that I love the most about the villainess transmigration genre is the way that characters come to own their space in the new world.
