Reverse Harem Garden

The Strongest Knight is Actually a Cross-Dressing Noblewoman?! by Iota Aiue Art by: Hakusei Translated by: Grantas Sirekis Bernstein, the Lunar Ice Knight... is actually a cross-dressing noblewoman. She's popular with the ladies and even with her classmates in the all-boy military academy. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  Finally, a four flowers reverse harem from the publisher,  Cross Infinite World ! (See Levels of Reverse Harem . Three or more guys having romantic interests with the heroine.) The titles I've read before with CIW tend to be kinda reverse harem and with this book, I was nervous it may not reach three males who are interested in her... and it exceeded my expectations. And so we're going not going to break down the bishonen list so it would be a surprise for you.  There's no clear main guy at the start to keep you guessing but it will become apparent soon. But still, I enjoyed each  moment she had with them and as well as...

The Reincarnated Princess Spends Another Day Skipping Story Routes: Volume 5 by Bisu Art by: Yukiko Rosemary has already averted the war. Check. Stopped the plague. Check. There's one last thing left from the three calamities. Stop the demon lord's revival. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. See review of previous volumes . If possible, I skip reading the summaries for the succeeding volumes. Whenever I start a new one, I ask myself where the story will take me now, and without fail, I always enjoy it. All the summary blurbs I've been mentioning are just the three main points but there's a lot more happening in Rosemary's life. She's making future plans that will be beneficial not only for Nevel but for all humanity. She also has these little and big things going on with the game's suitor candidates and side characters. She finally meets the last remaining character too. (Not quite convinced with the character development of the last tw...

  Remember the three calamities which Rosemary conveniently made into her three goals like it was New Year's resolutions? 1. Stop the war 2. stop the demon's revival, and 3. stop the plague. And on top of that, she has also meddled with the bad endings of the suitor characters. The characters and the story has deviated from the game as Rosemary know it and she is now in uncharted waters. All of these have accelerated the timeline of the plague which has now started. Will she find the cure in time with the hidden Khuer village? Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out reviews from previous volumes .  Now that we are in the fourth volume, I have gotten used to the pacing and I'm not as impatient as before. The book is now on an important major arc of the story. Rosemary is spreading herself too thin with her too ambitious plans which is basically overhauling the entire game. And lest we forget to add two more of her goals of thwarting an engagement...

I'd Rather Have a Cat than a Harem! Reincarnated into the World of an Otome Game as a Cat-loving Villainess Vol.1 by Kozusu Kobato Art by: Hinano Chano Translation by Jenny Murphy | Under Winter Reverse Harem 2022 Amy is the 10-year old daughter of Earl of Northland. She suddenly remembers her past life as a highschool student in Japan. And it's not just her...her whole family gets reincarnated! But instead of becoming a villainess and having a harem, she would rather just have a pet cat. Her mom hatches a plan of having her gain weight to ward off an engagement. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  It should be obvious by the title that it is going to be more of cats than harem. It's a heaven for anyone who loves cats so much. There will be a cat mountain, cat cosplay, and a whole lot more cat cuteness. If you are not obsessed with cats or animals, by the end of the book you will be one.  Of course, we're still going to talk about the harem members...

  The Reincarnated Princess Spends Another Day Skipping Story Routes: Volume 1 by Bisu Art by: Yukiko Translated by: Tom Harris Rosemary Velfalt is reincarnated as a princess rival in the otome game, Welcome to the Hidden World, infamous for its terrible suitors and amazing side characters. She's now breaking event flags to avoid triggering routes. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  With all the reincarnated villainess breaking flags in otome game and whatnot, this still offers something fresh and funny. Unlike in other isekai, Rosemary has her memory since infancy and she's not avoiding getting killed. It's in the goodness of her heart to help the main guys skip story routes. Her internal monologues are also amusing with her flair for dramatics and hysterics. B ut for someone insightful, she also suffers the same baka-ness inherent to heroines of being oblivious to all the love interests she's gaining. Its' a reverse harem light novel all rig...

The Emperor's Lady-in-Waiting is Wanted as a Bride  Vol.1 by Kanata Satsuki (Author), Yoru Ichige (Illustrator), Emily Hemphill (Translator) Lyse Winslette is reincarnated in the kingdom of Olwen. In her past life, she lived as a lady knight in the powerful kingdom of Razanate. But  she can't go back to protect the secret of the Razanete's source of power, the Light of Origin.  One day Emperor Egbert together with  Imperial Duke Alcede, and knight Sidis visit their country. She then finds herself as the emperor's lady-in-waiting. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  The blurb did not in any way hinted a reverse harem but what caught my attention was the inside art above. And when I made a few keyboard clicks I found someone calling this reverse harem. In Levels of Reverse Harem it falls under three flowers, the gray area where the heroine is surrounded by beautiful men but the reverse harem is not definite. In the first volume, there a...

Mia and The Forbidden Medicine Report Vol. 2 by Fumi Yamamoto/ Illustaration by Nitaka/ Translation by Evie Lund  After having won last year's special award, Mia is more desperate than ever to find a cure for her mother. Her group is doing the best they can to help which consists of Felix, a handsome Law student until he opens his mouth...; Henrik, a naturally gifted but ice-cold Medicine student; and Matthias, the shy mage who can kick ass. But they are at a loss on how to proceed in their first step in making medicine. Disclaimer: a review copy was provided by the publisher. It started slow and I feel lost when they feel at a loss too but things turned interesting as we see progress. I appreciate the seamless recaps since it's been too long since I first read the first volume .  This is the first light novel I've read which also sparked my reading streak for light novels. ( Do Hot Gimmick S count?  ) It stands to reason that t his has a special place in my heart. My fe...

Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower Vol. 2  Story by Miri Mikawa Art by Kasumi Nagi Translated by afm The Declaration of Stability, the most vicious ceremony, is coming up. Rimi and Shusei are tasked to prepare food for the four consorts. Check out the Volume 1 review . Disclaimer: a review copy was provided by the publisher.  In the first volume, we see the possible contenders of Shusei and Hakurei for Rumi. By the second volume, Emperor Shohi has officially entered the picture. Sadly, Hakurei fades into the background and  is also being paired with  another woman. But I am not losing hope even with the author mentioning it's going to be a love triangle in the afterword. Well, with  Jotetsu unless they get stuck together hiding for days...that's the only imaginary scenario that I can see him falling in love with her. But now thinking about it, she hadn't fed him yet! And with that, I came up with another excuse to continue reading this.   Every ti...

As The Villainess, I Reject These Happy-Bad Endings!   ( Watashi ga Seijo? Iie, Akuyaku Reijou desu!)  light novel by Iota AIUE, art by Kuroyuki, translated by Moly Lee The main character gets reincarnated as Iris du Chevalier; the villainess of her favorite otome game. No matter which love interest the protagonist chooses the ending will turn into something dark hence happy-bad and even worse for the villainess. The love interests are the controlling prince Reseda; sadistic knight, Nigel, and dangerous mage, Cytisus. While trying to change the events, she head-on faces the soilpox disease and in the process, people seem to think she's the holy maiden.  Disclaimer: a review copy was provided by publisher. In my history of reverse harem, this is by far the most confusing reverse harem. Ever. After I started reading the novel I realized I misunderstood a tweet thinking it was a reverse harem. Then suddenly it's turning into one! But as I read further it veered awa...

  Culinary Chronicles of the Court Flower Vol. 1 - Story by Miri Mikawa Art by Kasumi Nagi Translated by afm  Setsu Rimi enters the imperial harem as a tribute to the emperor. She is a carefree girl with cooking as her sole passion. She meets the  cuisinologist/loveless scholar Su Shusei,  the emperor's bodyguard Shin Jotetsu; the beautiful eunuch Sai Hakurei, and the magnificent and sadist-like emperor Ryo Shohi. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher.  The reason it got into my reverse harem radar is thanks to the last bit of " China-inspired fantasy story about a princess and her love for food surrounded by gorgeous men ." She's surrounded alright by gorgeous men. Let me arrange them on their level of interest to her. The main guy is Shusei. Period. Hakurei comes second who has taken interest in her but for different confusing reasons. The emperor is bent on getting her beheaded but she is his concubine so there's plenty of room for possible ...

The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent Volume 2 (Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu)- Story & Art by: Yuka Tachibana Yasuyuki Syuri Translation: Julie Goniwich Warning: Spoilers ahead! (I think?)  Check out Volume 1 Review  here.  A digital review copy was provided by the publisher.   The grand magus Yuri has finally awakened to check Sei's abilities. She goes on training with Yuri and also meets the other summoned girl, Aira. It's getting clearer who's the real saint among the two ladies.  When I first saw the news that it will be animated, the general comment I saw is that it's boring.  I don't find it boring but two words that come to mind: too neat. Everything fells perfectly into Sei's favor. The other possible conflict is resolved too quickly. I need something to shake things up. Well, I hope things get harder for our heroine. Haha! I find myself engrossed in reading it like when I'm lost in research. (Ooh very Sei-like too I might add....
