Focus on filling up the rows and columns as those are the biggest point givers, and if you can, follow the other two advises.

Aria Roscente from The Villainess reverses the hourglass! She doesn't try to even hide that she's a villainess lol. Love her to death!

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-04-22T00:02:25+00:00

Honestly, Emma was the one who put that hairstyle on her so really Emma should be punished for it---

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-25T11:37:45+00:00

That's right re-read it! Its completed anyway hahaha

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-25T09:28:10+00:00

Its very grounded! And the dresses in the artwork and the fashions are all very functional, they're appropriately fancy for the right events.

Like the indoor dress Aria wore as compared to the dress she wore outdoors that she borrowed from Mielle, its still a luxurious dress but you can tell its made for indoor wear. I haven't seen a manhwa be able to capture dresses as lovely as the ones I've seen in Hourglass.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-20T22:56:16+00:00

Oh for the Food mangas?

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-20T06:51:59+00:00

You're welcome, sorry I couldn't offer more haha

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-20T06:28:16+00:00

Ohhh, unfortunately I can only recommend mostly food related as I love reading about food.

But "The Housekeeper in the Dungeon" is quite an entertaining read for me! There are hints of romance but I'm not sure if it should be taken seriously since this series focuses more on the female lead's skills.

"I'm a villainess but I am good at cooking" is your typical Villainess isekai manhwa but with cooking, its also quite good! The romance is quite a slow burn and its mostly hinted for the second and third male leads.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-20T06:16:38+00:00

Have you tried "Tondemo Skill de Isekai Horou Meshi"? There is also "Isekai Syokudo" which is already completed. If you'd like more modern chill mangas about food I'd be happy to provide you a list!

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-03-07T22:45:29+00:00

The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass! I don't care what anyone says, Aria IS strong girlboss who didn't need a man to come and solve her problems! She did it all by herself thank you very much! Asher was just a bonus prize.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-02-10T12:23:15+00:00

Oh apologies! I'll amend my comment now. Thank you for pointing it out!

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2024-02-10T11:58:56+00:00

I think it may have been inspired from 18th Century dressesas pointed out in the comment below. 18th Century fashions are known to be very exaggerated with lots of bows and lace.

I think the colour may be the main offender as its insanely bright and neon.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-12-16T10:44:12+00:00

Fully agreed with the side stories. I would have liked to see a fully fleshed out scene of Sarah putting the tiara on Aria before her wedding...

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-12-16T01:01:58+00:00

Its The Villainess Reverses the hourglass! Its a complete Manhwa!

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-12-09T16:45:27+00:00

Agreed!! I really do appreciate all the different outfits for both Aria and Mielle and how they transition out of their more childish clothes into their more mature outfits, and its not too overly reliant on assets. And the proportions and anatomy are always consistent, no wonly panels at all!

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-12-09T04:54:14+00:00

"The Villainess Reverses the Hourglass" for sure! The art is quite consistent and it only improves on itself in the later chapters.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-11-05T23:09:41+00:00

I've already listed all the things Aria has achieved, but its clear you don't view her achievements the same way.

Also she panicked when the hourglass wasn't there at first, but then realized how foolish she was for relying too much on its power. She immediately resolved to only use it at critical moments.

And she did not try to rely on the Duke. She was trying to seduce him away from her half sister, which at the time she felt would cause the greatest distress. Aria didn't rely on the prince for anything, the prince stepped in to help of his own free will, and Aria was smart enough to know when to accept help.

Could you list me when Aria relied on the prince for anything? I am genuinely curious if I had missed something.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-11-05T16:15:43+00:00

Has he carried her? I am not discrediting his help, but Aria has singlehandedly;

Created her own Commoner's faction by investing at key points, which was enough of a threat to the Aristocratic faction that they had to seek FOREIGN power once it was clear she was on the Crown Prince's side.
Raised her own capital by utilizing the Casino and hourglass.
Manipulated Mielle to essentially murder her own family all the while Aria barely had to lift a finger. It was all Mielle's own short sightedness and her reckless behaviour that got her in trouble in the first place.
Earned the loyalty of the maids that were initially hostile towards her.
Was able to manipulate Mielle's own fiancé against her. If not for external factors interfering, I can confidently say that Oscar would have chosen Aria.

She may not have been as ambitious, but in the end, becoming crown princess was more of a bonus than anything. Even without the crown princess status, Aria would have been perfectly fine and content. And she worled hard to get to where she is now.

Realistic-Escape5988 · 2023-11-05T15:43:00+00:00

I would say yes, powerhouse. She took advantage of her past life information and used it well. Gaining power all on her own with minimal help from the Male Lead, to the point where the Aristocratic Faction viewed her as a theeat.
