I Became the Male Lead's Adoptive Daughter - Manhwa Review

[Summary from Mangadex] "I'm going to adopt a child."

Duke Phileo Boleoti's impulsive decision shocked everyone in the mansion. Not only did he make her his daughter, but he also gave her the name of a 'beast' that only direct members of the bloodline could receive.

[Full review under read more]

Basic Premise: A child reincarnates and follows a power fantasy, except she's in the position of the powerful male lead's daughter.

My Review: While the angle of the isekai'd MC being a "spoiled daughter" instead of the typical noblewoman is mildly interesting, it's sadly not enough to save itself from an unappealing personality and a plot that just barely limps along. The gimmick of the male lead being an overprotective and doting father gets old fast, and the daughter's personality honestly isn't much better. She's spoiled and willful in a way that initially reads as a satisfying revenge fantasy in all the typical isekai ways; however, this momentum quickly stagnates in political drama that it's clear the author doesn't want to invest very much into. Her narrative wins are not the result of intelligence or displays of unique character traits. Instead, they're just a result of overwhelming power from her adoptive father and her own "might makes right" mindset.

Overall: Read this for the first few chapters if you want mild amusement, but don't expect anything better than that. This is honestly some of the worst of the isekai genre I've read in a while. (Actually, it might be better off if it weren't an isekai. That might actually add some plot-relevant tension.)

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

A3! Backstage Story Translation - Tasuku Takato N - One-Man Show ~ Playboy Who Can't Keep A Girlfriend ~

Tasuku: My one-man show’s theme is “Playboy who can’t keep a girlfriend”… Wha?

Izumi: Is something wrong?

Tasuku: Nah, it’s just… is this “Playboy who can’t keep a girlfriend” thing right?

Azuma: Yeah. Isn’t it perfect for you?

Tsumugi: Ahaha. I agree.

Tasuku: Just what do you two think of me?

Izumi: Are you ready, Tasuku-san? Let’s get started if you are.

Tasuku: *Sigh* Well, I’ve got no choice but to do it. I’ll be in your care.

-

Tasuku: “Did you have fun today? Heh, I’m glad it became a good memory for you.”

Tasuku: “… ‘Kay, this is where we break it off.”

Tasuku: “Why? … What a thing to ask.”

Tasuku: “All the women I’ve dated… They started liking me and then hating me as they pleased.”

Tasuku: “They never think about how that’ll hurt me…”

Tasuku: “They’re all like that. They say they like me, that they love me, and then suddenly one day ask me to break up.”

Tasuku: “They never explain the reason, so I never understand why. … They’re all so selfish.”

Tasuku: “That’s why, if I’m going to end up hurt like that anyway, I decided to do the same: Woo a girl and then selfishly dump her.”

Tasuku: “… That’s how I’ve decided to live.”

Tasuku: “Good grief, she’s gone. … Now then, who should I go after next?”

Tasuku: “Anyone will do… Like that girl walking over there.”

Tasuku: “Hello. What are you doing in–”

Tasuku: “… Huh? Are you… Didn’t you go to the same school as me…?”

Tasuku: “I never thought… I’d reunite with my first love in a place like this.”

Tasuku: “Ah, no, it’s nothing. More importantly, it’s been a while.”

Tasuku: “Huh? Why did I call out to you? Uhhh, because…”

Tasuku: “Wh– Hitting on you!? No… I’m not… A-Actually, yeah, I was trying to hit on you.”

Tasuku: “So, uh… How does going out for dinner sound?”

Tasuku: “Really? … Thanks.”

Tasuku: “Can I… hold your hand…?”

Tasuku: “Ah… It’s warm. It’s been so long since I last felt like this.”

Tasuku: “I might’ve been the one in the wrong… From here on out, I’ll try to love properly again.”

-

Homare: Hum, I would say this reflected Tasuku-kun’s view of love quite perfectly.

Tasuku: No, not at all. This is just something I made up for the sake of the play.

Azuma: Is that so? If you ask me… I think that actors bring their lives, their values, and their experiences into their acting.

Tasuku: Azuma-san… Please stop.

Hisoka: Tasuku’s a playboy? … I don’t think so…

Tasuku: *sigh*… What do you guys normally see me as?

Guy: You are a faithful man, Takato.

Tsumugi: I agree. Those words at the end must have come from how you really feel. Right, Tasuku?

Tasuku: … You’re the one who said that, not me.
