A Wicked Tale of Cinderella's Stepmom

Description

We all know the fairytale: the glass slipper, the not-so-pretty stepsisters, and a night with the prince until the clock strikes midnight. I have been reincarnated into that classic story, not as Cinderella, but as her "wicked" stepmother! Widowed twice by age 37 and with three daughters, my goal is to make sure all will have suitable partners and their own happily ever afters and maybe a nice future for me as well! But who is this handsome young baron that keeps approaching me?

Nice slow read, really starts to get annoying later on

This story loves having misunderstandings for the sake of drama. They are tolerable at first but one of the misunderstandings in the later chapters is extremely dragged on which gets very annoying.

Good to read on a slow, lazy day. It's just got a cozy atmosphere.

I'm not used to such soft, rounded art but it fits the story being told.

this definitely became one of my fave

I love how there's less drama between them, just natural family-vibes. FL is such a good character. Her daughters are also quite commendable and I love them, especially how they take care of the "cinderella". I love the whole story so far. The pair ups are quite cute too. Interactions are great.

BUT THE BEST PART FROM THIS WORK IS THAT THE MALE LEAD'S HAIR IS BROWN!! I find it rare to have some brown-haired 1st male lead. Usually they're extra or side characters, or just up until 2nd lead.

I hope to see more brown-haired MLs like this one.

Maturity

Most manhwas so far (nowadays) with MC as parent have a childish POV and maybe the reason is to make the story have a comedy genre. The mother being childish to her daughter or son or somethin is not really a good vibe to some who really struggles to raise their kids. But since they're just part of fantasy that they thought, I guess the author from their "comedy genre story" just childish as they write the story like a teenager.

Back to this work-of-art, there were many types of isekai genre that were released and still releasing. From good plot to dull. Revenge, being a side character, or conquer the world or somethin. And most of them have a child to an adult but childish MCs. Browsing further, you'll find a stories that were diamond-in-the-rough that you will call masterpiece. Since this whole story is unique, this became a manhwa readers' sight for sore eyes and having an admirable and mature characters is too rare to be found in many stories.

But every mature looking person have a child-like-heart. The MC still believe in romance but not for her own. She put herself as an audience like watching a theater act when it comes to romantic relationship. She thinks of the world she Isekaied, and currently lived in, is just a fairytale, but she forgot that there's some clauses that she set aside just to prove that she can live as what she thought and read in the book that, in any case, may not exist.

Still, it's interesting to find a good manhwa like this and this is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for EVERYONE who're sick of typical adult-child-personality MCs.

I'm looking forward for the next season's update. Sometimes it's really hard to wait.. 😅😅

The actual name of Cinderella wasn't Cinderella either it wasn't simply Ella by because she was forced to do harsh chores everyday by the Step Mother, she was often covered in ash and was given a bullying nickname of Cinderella. Other stories have it because she either would lie down in ash.

In the real Cinderella there was no fairy Godmother. All that was done by Disney after buying the rights to the Cinderella story. Cinderella like many fairy tales you may have seen was actually quite dark and gruesome.

Beautiful

This manhwa gives a peaceful and pleasant feeling. The characters are built with unique personalities, though they are not perfect, they always aim toward the good.
The plot is well written, rational but still full of joy about motherhood, sisterhood, slow romance and slices of life.
I can't complain about the art, even though this is digital art yet the way they choose bright colors and the sun effects just give so much warm feeling to the story.
However the plot starting with the FL's reincarnation is just so uninspiring, they don't have to follow the same route for all manhwa about aristocrats.

A really refreshing story! Such a twist with the classic fairytale which only focuses on Cinderella's beauty. This story is like a fresh breeze. Truly enjoyable! Can't wait for more chapters!

Feels good vibes [comment left after reading 75 chapters]

Good art, with a highly intelligent main cast but rather 1d & 1IQ villains thus far.

The story really caught my interest when I noticed how the daughters of the isekai'd protagonist weren't flawless beauties that could do no wrong. The FL is sadly dense as fuck when it comes to romance but that's the trope in this kind of a read and there are a tad too many misunderstandings for my taste at times, however the good overshadows the bad by a large amount and I found it intriguing because of it being more slice of life rather than the usual court intrigue recipe that I'm so overly used to.

It's a pleasant and at most time wholesome read.

I mean, the first beginning was alright, but like-- I still don't get how she's in Cinderella when the step daughter isn't called Cinderella, and the fairy g0dmother didn't even show up anywhere? 🤔😅
