When Marquis Speràdo tries to sacrifice Leslie for her favored sister Ellie, little does he know that this awakens the power of darkness in her instead.

3) Lady Baby from Isekai scan

4) A Stepmother's Marchen from Isekai scan

Summary: The iron widow, the spider widow, male hunter, the witch of Neuwanstein castle, the embarrassment of noble ladies……. These were all the words used to describe the Marchioness, Suri Pon Neuwanstein. Despite receiving such criticism from the world, she raised her ‘children’, who were unrelated to her by blood and were old enough to be called her siblings. And finally, on the day of the first son Jeremy’s wedding, she felt that all her hard work had tied all the loose ends together. But she had been terribly mistaken. After hearing the message requesting her to not attend the wedding, she got caught up in an accident and died while leaving the castle. But when she opened her eyes, she woke up on the day of her husband’s funeral, seven years ago. I refuse to suffer any more. I won’t live as I had in the past a second time!

5) The Evil Lady Will Change from Isekai scan

Summary: Athanasia Cloix, a woman whose elegance and beauty is akin to that of a swan lake, was the Duke’s eldest daughter and the Queen of the social circles: an existence near to perfection. Due to some rumors, however, people began to misunderstand and belittle her. As she suffered through these unfortunate events, she learned to conceal her feelings by putting on a façade and agreed to a political marriage with the Winter-comer who’s also known as the “Northern Monster”.

As the Grand Duke, I will do my best to accommodate your needs and desires. But love alone is something I can’t give to you.” Unbeknownst to her, that very man will change her life and thus a new fate is about to unfold.

6) The Remarried Empress from Isekai scan

Summary: Navier Ellie Trovi was an empress perfect in every way -- intelligent, courageous, and socially adept. She was kind to her subjects and devoted to her husband. Navier was perfectly content to live the rest of her days as the wise empress of the Eastern Empire. That is, until her husband brought home a mistress and demanded a divorce. “I accept this divorce… And I request an approval of my remarriage.” In a shocking twist, Navier remarries another emperor and retains her title and childhood dream as empress. But just how did everything unfold?

I’ve been thinking about Monster Duchess and Contract Princess, and you know what? I like that in contrast with other rofan/European style webcomics there is no time travel or incarnation into a pre-existing story that spurs on the protagonist to act. After a traumatic event (without regression!) Leslie decides on her own that she’s done with her family and seeks answers by herself. She doesn’t have pre existing knowledge about the characters’ past or actions, her decisions all come from her own, single, present experience.

Btw I’m not dissing on webcomics that use this trope. I do enjoy reading them. I just feel that this one in particular has a pretty refreshing take on the genre

The Monstrous Duke’s Adopted Daughter / The Monster Duchess and Adopted Princess

I will read 8734345 of these trash family revenge manhwas with the same 5 tropes because the ending is always so *chefs kiss* Also, for once the FL neither died or was isekai-ed. ~revolutionary~

Summary So the trash family has this real horrible tradition of sacrificing their second/silver-haired children for ~power~ but our precious bean manages to escape. She decides to propose a contract to the most powerful duchess duke to be their adopted daughter. Her new family is ~AMAZING~ and they all love her so much ;w;  Yes there is also an ML but he’s basically a little precious puppy knight paladin, and really more of a supporting character.

Tropes   - just throw this whole family away   - my family is obsessed with me   - cute baby doing cute baby things   - hints of a romance but PLOT is MORE IMPORTANT   - who run the world? GIRLS   - this is a totally FAKE and not at all real RELATIONSHIP family

FL - Leslie Sperado Leslie Shuya Salvator

- sweet summer child precious cinnamon roll - for once the ~power of darkness~ isn’t anything evil, just another *special power* - it’s so cute how her new family adores her so much since they’ve also always wanted a daughter 

Mama Bear - Azela Benkan Salvator

- T A L L - badass mama bear - holds the Salvatore family’s single brain cell

Rating: I enjoyed my time reading this Status (as of 23 July 2022)   Main storyline complete. The whole “Season 3″ is basically random side stories. A mix of prequel and sequel stuff, which is really fun to read :3

Same Same but Different     - The Siren: Becoming the Villain’s Family   - I was the Real One   - Into the Light, Once Again

Rereading such a beautiful series and I'm happy Leslie got her happy ending.

alright, finished the main story of the monstrous duke's adopted daughter. cute!

actually surprised that i did actually enjoy watching the salvator fam notice leslie and conrad holding hands. those narrowed eyes were great!

not a fan of what happens immediately afterwards, tbh? bc like. i just don't vibe with overprotectiveness re: daughters dating, and so i got a little annoyed at cy/beth/ruenti's immediate -- well, it's not quite shovel talk or peacocking, but it's annoying!

the duke's reaction was good, tho, and her going well, i don't think anyone's good enough for leslie, but! if leslie's happy, then so be it. immediately followed up by leslie saying you said if i should ever want to marry, i should find a cute boy, and azela agreeing he is cute!

idk, the salvator fam were consistently protective, which i think is... fair, i get why they'd act this way? (not to mention, leslie's original upbringing, then i'm v. much charmed at the effort they go to look after her, and they do learn to be like she's family, and i respect her decisions once the timeskip happens, but, it's just. overprotective fam when it comes to daughters dating bugs me) but i'm just curious to know if cy would also be like. searching for a sword. if beth or ruenti found a wife. 'cause like. cy at least, wasn't looking for one when leslie mentions she has a new friend, but was until the moment leslie clarifies that her newfound friend isn't a boy.

i guess i'm also kind of annoyed bc conrad was a friend of the family from the start, and i suppose i'd be more understanding of the whole 'no boy is good enough for my daughter' if the salvator fam hadn't met the bf before? so he was a stranger and they were uncertain and wary bc they don't know what he's like or if they'll even get on? but i guess, friend or not, conrad is... a boy like any other, and just. idk. i don't like it.

i'm glad ellie's not dead tho! i kind of pitied her throughout, but her being sent away and never meeting leslie again is for the best. hopefully she meets kind people for the first time in her life and learns from that!

Have you ever heard of The Monstrous Duke's Adopted Daughter?

Not exactly a villianess story but I think it's pretty good.

Not yet!

[sillycraftycrafter]

Leslie Shuya Salvator is finished!

I know I said that I had to finish adding the ruffle to her skirt, but I decided to skip that detail. One of these days I'll figure out how to make it so that the brim of the hat doesn't crinkle.

Now onto the next doll: Ven Cithreth, my high elf artificer!
