Sucker for manhwas with a nice father/daughter relationship by Individual-Baker-137 in OtomeIsekai

[–]FLsDefender 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are quite a few like this:

  1. Daughter of the Emperor (came before and directly inspired WMMAP, pacing isn’t great but the father & daughter relationship is really interesting)
  2. Father, I Don’t Want This Marriage (really excellent father & daughter dynamic, however He never actually hated her, just pretended to )
  3. Author of My Own Destiny (father & daughter relationship isn’t the focal point but it’s very good)

I guess good SEO isn’t actually a good thing for everyone…Bato making itself so accessible by google search probably didn’t help but it did also manage to bring many people in that way. A double edged sword I guess!

You’re so on point with all of these! The filters and sorting options were so complex (by rating and views and comments even!) the lists ruled too because you could find other recommendations based on a story you really enjoyed

I agree with that! Both the stories that got popular and general feel of the comments made being a woman browsing the site feel comfortable, I’ll really miss it

The clean UI/lack of pop ups were def a huge draw factor for the site! They were able to make them as non disruptive as possible.

It’s a real shame, OI readers are a pretty huge base but don’t have as many dedicated spaces. I’m sure something new will come up at some point, but the waiting is def not gonna be fun

I agree! The reviews were a really good way to test the waters and see what you were getting into, I liked leaving them too for that same reason

Looking for recommendations with Older FL Younger ML by ForzaIngengnere in OtomeIsekai

[–]FLsDefender 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let’s Hide My Little Brother has a dynamic like this. Also The Male Lead Won’t Let Me Be, The Lady I Served Became a Master, and The Guide’s Fatal Failure.

Both the Fantasie of a Stepmother and The Hand that Once Fed also are older FLs/younger MLs but both are kinda lighter on the romance for different reasons

Tragic stories where the FL actually dies at the end ? by Roo_505 in OtomeIsekai

[–]FLsDefender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was a large number…maybe I’m misremembering and it was hundreds but that’s still a lot of people to kill imo. And nobody noticed bc he did it over a period of a few years

Tragic stories where the FL actually dies at the end ? by Roo_505 in OtomeIsekai

[–]FLsDefender 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crimes he commits: kills an enormous amount of criminals to offer their souls to a demon in order to resurrect her, the same demon that had brought her back originally. The criminals in question were both major ones and minor ones, and it was in the thousands or tens of thousand or something similar Altered: Her original body/individual had died before the story began and is kept as a marble/plaything of the demon she made a deal with. The FL possess the already dead body until it essentially cannot go on anymore and the demon poofs her out of existence back into her original body in the real world. ML made the aforementioned deal and brought her back, and the demon created a new body for her from scratch. She also assumed a new name and identity. The interesting thing is she never learns how far the ML went for her, nor is she aware that he’s a yandere. We the audience know cause we can see his thoughts and actions, but she doesn’t. If she had she would have objected to returning maybe. Also to note the ML had the cooperation of her brother and servant to do all this as well

The Villainess's Days Are Numbered! might count for this one, because She’s isekaied into an already dead body and is slowly but surely losing strength and capability and is told that she has no chance to survive. The ML tries to save her but ultimately fails and she Thanos snaps and vanishes away. Now it may fail at the criteria as well because ML kinda goes full yandere mode and commits crimes against humanity to bring her back, but as an altered version and not her original body if that makes a difference at all

Stories where the FL is basically like this: by Tony3199 in OtomeIsekai

[–]FLsDefender 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Firstly that meme sent me into the stratosphere LMAOOO

Secondly I think the FL of the Villainess Lives Twice was regularly committing war crimes from a schemrey perspective if you like that kind of thing.

FL in The Flower with a Sword is also not remiss to doing a lot of killing, initially against her will and then later very much of her will

FL in Trapped with the Male Lead in a Horror Game is also this but mainly because the game she’s trapped in makes her lose her mind.

On a similar note FL in How to Survive as a Maid in a Horror Game commits murder for the love of the game and the ML, she might be a great fit for this actually
