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

Leslie Sperado Panel Drawing.

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

Art is not mine and I do not claim anything.

I don't know why but I just randomly imagine duke Salvatore having a Russian Accent, like for no reason-

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!

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!

Isekai with a male protag that plays like he's the female protag: Trash of the Count's Family! Bonus - Toothless, I mean, an adorable black dragon, and adorable shapeshifting kids.

Isekai with male protags: "I was a loser on earth but now I'm super fucking strong and gettin mad bitches"

Isekai with female protags:

Reincarnated princess uses earth knowledge to make magitech a thing and romances sad girl

Girl romantically pursues her video game waifu

Girl is tasked to teach actual fucking gods to be more empathetic to humans

Woman reincarnated as the daughter of a magic item crafter uses earth knowledge to advance her trade

"Straight" girl is sucked into a world with zero men and lesbians everywhere and finds out she's sapphic (there's like actual plot but the gay is what matters.... to me)

A ghibli film. Need I say more

Woman reincarnated in video game as doomed villainess desperately tries to change her story

Girl reincarnated as a tiny baby spider kills monsters to level up

Like the male protag one but the lame guy's mom got isekaid with him and she's the op one.

Two normal girls fight urban legends in terrifying danger dimension
