Let me just start off by with this: this novel never crossed my mind to read it because of the TITLE. It honestly reminds me of many popular translated (I guess not translated as well) Chinese novel titles on here that feel shallow and flat. Though I am up-to-date with the current chapter I’m still not an advocate for the title even now. HOWEVER, let’s just say that in this case the story overpowers my disapprovement of the title that much more. This novel popped up on my recommended novel list for the 7 day reading challenge. With little to nothing I wanted to choose to read from, I decided to give it a shot since who doesn’t like a hot ML who’s a captain?! (plus other reviews who claimed the novel is fluff & candies++👍🏻) Anyways, I’m very impressed that I was hooked onto the story within the first 5 chapters. As mentioned in the synopsis, FL was given another chance to live her first life. She changes for the better and becomes a much more mature and charming person (plus a bit of feistiness to top it off😉). And it’s even better that she and the ML meet near the beginning of the novel🥰 Their love is to die for! They have great trust in one another, good communication to prevent major misunderstandings, and so much fluff and PDA for readers to gladly drown in😂 No shame! AND ML is such a cutie and deserves the world❤️ He is very respectful and always gets the consent of FL before he engages in anything intimate with her. They really are each other’s world🥺 (Heck, where’s my Kiho out there?!😒) The story progression feels very steady despite the two leads jumping into their romance right off the bat. But there is still a good pace that it follows to further heighten and reinforce their relationship. A couple of grammar and spelling errors but it is dismissable and doesn’t hinder the reading progress. Overall, LOVE the story so far. I remember the author mentioning how the story might end between 200-250 chapters, which I think is a wise idea. I can see how this novel could be extended with longer arc lines and more fillers to drag the story out to 300-400 chapters. But I think the value of those -250 chapters will far over weigh that of something more lengthy for the sake of adding more. Lady ‘Crab Goddess’ Tilly X Captain ‘Cinnamon Roll’ Kiho fighting!🥰❤️ And fighting, dear Author! Take care of your health and those around you to give us more lovely content🙈🤗

Thank you for the lengthy and honest review. This made my day. 🥺❤ I was planning to change the title from Mommy Villainess to Mommy Villainess (The Lady with a Crab Mallet). I already talked to my editor. The process is kind of a hassle. I might give it a shot once I have more free time (I'm kinda busy these days). Again, thank you so much for the review. ❤❤❤

You need to read this novel!!! (This review is based on chapters up to the 82nd) Firstly, this is not your typical reincarnation story. The story is full of mysteries that will never fail to hook you. The plot is multi-layered so you won’t be able to guess everything in one go, hence it’s not boring or predictable. I love how author reveal one thing after another in a pace that is neither too slow nor too hasty. So, there is not one chapter that I find boring or unnecessary. This is such a nice thing because sometimes I find stories (even those that I really like) to be dragging or too slow. I can totally feel that the plot is well thought and solid. Secondly, I love how the chapters are quite long. So even if author only updates one chapter daily, but the reading experience is kind of similar to reading 2 chapters daily. So even though the novel has only 82 chapters as of now, but I think it is quite comparable to 150 chapters of most other novels. So far I’ve only encountered 2 or 3 books in webnovel that publish long chapters like this one. So I really really love the author for this. And so far the update seems regular; one chapter daily with extra chapter once in a while. Thirdly, I love the character build in this story. For starter, I so very much in love with both the main couple. The FL was supposedly a villainess in her first life but seems like there is some conspiracies behind the happenings in her previous life. And I love how thoroughly author incorporated the legend of a phoenix in her character; from how she lives a few life with one being better than the previous to her being the heart of phoenix. She is lovely, smart and has a mature beauty; beautiful face with a seductive body. The ML is portrayed as a very good looking man. But because he had lived a very hard life since young, he is quite aloof and quiet. But after meeting the FL, he starts changing and find enjoyment in interacting with her. He is notorious for being the ‘shadow beast’ but personality he is a gentleman through and through. He fits with the saying ‘gentleman in the streets, beast in the sheets’ 😝. I really love how he is with the FL. Their love and passion for each other are to die for and I love every fluffy and steamy moments of them 😆. So, give this a try and you’ll love it!

Royal Secret: I'm a Princess!

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though. But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well. She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure. But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire. Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.
