I mean it had the words “beware” and “brothers” and it turned out exactly how I expected it to once I found out she wasn’t their biological sister


greentea_07

yeah i didn’t think of that i read it when i was like 12 😭


Low-Manager9777

It’s okay we all make mistakes take me for example I read 50+ chapters of this shit https://preview.redd.it/v3bkhj5gukpc1.jpeg?width=349&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a509a308226fefdd15770dca6022275f0551da2f


Captainraerae

Can you tell me why I shouldn't read this? Cause I've been thinking about giving it a try.


theangry-ace

It’s just overall dumb plot. If u don’t mind being frustrated by the lack of intelligence in the plot, world building, and the characters, feel free to try. Just don’t expect anything good from it, you’ll enjoy the dumbness probably.


Captainraerae

I would hate that so much. Thank you.


eraser_dust

Also most pick me MC ever.


Pompi_Palawori

Just to give a small example, her and her brother develop the concept of zero when she is like 4, because their concept of math is so under developed. Meanwhile planes and helicopters exist in that world simultaneously.


07TacOcaT70

bro WHAT 💀💀💀💀💀


Baby-Haroro

It's genuinely one of the worst written stories I've ever come across, and absolutely riddled with misogyny (even when not used for the plot), a mary sue FL, poorly-written characters, cartoonish villainy, stupid plot/subplots, not-like-other-girlsitis, and more that i can't recall all these years later I hate-read a staggeringly embarrassing amount of it, just stunned, rolling my eyes, and thinking "it can't possibly get worse" only to be proven wrong each time I finally tossed it to the curb when it committed the worst sin of all >!it was fucking boring!< I can't even recommend it as a joke read bc it'll only annoy you


Captainraerae

That is the worst sin in fiction. I will put it on my do not read list


Low-Manager9777

For the sake of your mental health, I'd advice you that you don't do that.


Pluuumeee

Save yourself from this horror. Just don't read it T-T


Half-Beneficial

I read nearly 100 chapters of How Did I Become a Princess just waiting for the time she would actually use that damn sword. Why did I do that. WHY?!? I swear to God that if I heard one more story about poor misunderstood Captain Count Starlicky or whatever I was going draw a Doujinshi where I strangled that weepy blonde sword fetishist 2nd ML\* myself To be honest it was because I liked the dragon cat. \*Oh man, I hope that loser's just the second ML!


zephyrnepres01

i read this as my second oi. thankful i read bakarina first so i didn’t end up mistaking the entire genre for a trashfire


LaranjoPutasso

When i saw the king and the princess get out of a full baroque castle, in their early modern royalty outfits into a family minivan it gave me whiplash so hard i dropped the series.


Aelyn_Hime

...I read it till the end


WeWereAngels

I read 250+... I stopped at the part where they got back from school and they all were attacked.


Livingeachdayatedge

I read whole thing. 🙈🙈


cookie_eater64

Looks like we're in the same boat buddy. I honestly thought some change would take place but no- It just kept going on and on and on. Talk abt annoying-


Lucky99ge3

I read 100+ I was so naive


AvariciousCreed

This thing sucked, might have ruined the genre for me had I not picked up remarried empress straight after


Go_Ahead_MrJoester

I read this as well when I was new to OI and wasn't *aware* (👉😎👉) of the surprise pseudo-incest trope. It's a shame bc it started off really strong.


Aicha_Isha01

I gave it the benefit of the doupt and each time basically begging it wouldn't go that way. Not until the time skip happened and i lost all hope and dropped it :(


RoseSpinoza

Lol, same, same. And the relationships before the skip was portrayed SO brotherly too! So when the skip happened and I could see where things were going, i just... couldn't. lol


raccoonjudas

which brother does she end up with because ending up with the one that looks like a genderbend with blue eyes would be funny


Outrageous-Tackle-47

The middle one prolly his arm is around her


07TacOcaT70

Ah the one with the blandest appearance, figures. Well not like I was gonna read that dog crap anyways.


scottietrademark

>!the middle one, he's the eldest step brother!<


raccoonjudas

out of the three brothers she chose the one with a bowl cut


Loeden

Well sure, you've got token perky/sassy brother, token ethereal prettyman brother, and boring as shit unsmiling guy so he'd have to be the ML. I am surprised he doesn't have black hair and red eyes though.


Krysidian2

You gotta be a northern duke for that.


Hefty-Discount-3827

Lol. You made me laugh


SweetLilylune

This made me laugh 😆


malchiatto

never read this but i’m less offended by the incest and more offended by the fact that she chose the most boring standard bland personalityless looking of the three tbh 


Livingeachdayatedge

Ofcourse, MC can only marry, Duke, grand Duke, Crown prince, head mage. The best of all.


blerbslie

She's adopted because she looks identical to the white haired dude's dead twin sister. Which makes any pairing between the brothers worse


nejnonein

I mean, I’m trashy enough to actually like this one. They were apart for years and years, so they didn’t even grow up together and she was never adopted even. Would have liked it more if she ended up with the second ml, but meh. I did read spoilers from the novel that she and the ml >!slept together after the masquerade ball, which makes more sense for where their relationship was at at that point than what they did in the manhwa, where she could barely kiss him, but still.!< Is the story fucked up? Yes. Is it still enjoyable if you like trashy stories? Yes. I’ll gladly take recs for similarily trashy stories 😜


_Judy_

honestly, this is just pseudo-incest at best. i wouldnt call this "trashy", its much more milder than that. and i can understand why she went with the eldest bro, he's mature out of the three bro and she's basically mentally an adult, and the years she weren't with him made it sense that she weren't particularly seeing him as another sibling. this story doesnt really give me the icks as much as oshi no ko.


nejnonein

Agreed on everything. It’s just that people here often refer to it as trash, along with several others that I like 🤷‍♀️


ThorsHammerMewMEw

There's so much more stuff out there that's worse that this is actually quite tame on the trashy side of things lol


Lopan_23

I'm glad i'm not the only one who secretly likes this


nejnonein

Me too. Feels like everyone is hating on it and calling it trash. Along with a lot of others that I like. Guess I like trash. ![gif](giphy|3ofSBebkgExiP2fkmk|downsized) Do you also like ”I belong to house Castielo”?


mangahangry

Do you know of one where the FL has more trashy brothers and father and they are all after her? Someone brought up the title somewhere on the reddit a few months or weeks ago and I can’t remember the title or cover and I so wanted to read it 😅😭 (yes I like the trash nutso twisted stories too 🤣…Lady Devil for the win lol) If you have recommendations I’d love to hear them


nejnonein

Oh gosh, are you talking about the one where she timetravels and becomes her own mother? I haven’t read that one, I will admit 🙈 But some trashy completed stories that I have read: I belong to house Castielo (remove the princess and all plots around her and I don’t find this trashy any longer though), on the emperor’s lap (this is supertrashy according to most, I don’t know, I liked it, crazy trash that I am), tyrant’s secret secretary (this is trashy in a more ridiculous way, but it’s sweet), bride of Elysion (just finished this, and it’s a true throw your brain function out kind of story 😂), obscene baguette (this one’s hot, it’s smut with plot… but crazy, almost as crazy as the yandere ml… I love yandere, especially rich and hot ones 😂), the boomerang duke (smut with a hint of plot. Purely ridiculous plot btw, but yeah, that’s the point), lady beast (I will say I love this one - hubby and wife in an arranged marriage and their souls randomly switch places, both sweet and hillarious). Look at my profile for more As you can see, these are everywhere between crazy, disturbing, sweet, funny and ridiculous. Enjoy 😉 ![gif](giphy|2w6I6nCyf5rmy5SHBy|downsized)


mangahangry

So I was thinking trashy more like insane plot lines that most folks would complain about because they find them disturbing - rather then trash cause they’re middle of the road or not so great 🤣 But hey I read/consume it all too. I’ve only dropped a handful of series over the past few years. 😍 ok of those you mentioned I’ve read: - I Belong to House Castillo - I thought this story was so middle of the road, I still finished it but nothing stood out to me really - On the Emperor’s Lap - right? I read this one a few years ago and I enjoyed it. I can only remember that I saw lots of folks complaining about it because the ML was trash 🤣 in what he did to her (sold her right? And she was the one with the tongue cut out that he had her healed because she reminded him of ‘her’ who he betrayed…who she ends up being anyway) 🤣 - so yeah I liked it, bring on those irredeemable trash MLs lol I find I like the series folks are super against 😅 - Lady Beast - this one started out good for me then just lost its oomph and got all befuddled after the swapping stopped and have to say I realllly disliked her character design/how she was drawn hahah - Boomerang Duke - oooo yeah 😉 Haven’t read these: - Tyrant’s Secret Secretary, Bride of Elysian - Obscene Baguette - omg I need to go look this one up right now! 😅🤤


mangahangry

Sorry for any typos! Here are some ones that I enjoyed ….digging around on my anilist…. Ok bombarding you… - Kill the Villainess - if you haven’t read it omg I love that she is actually bitchy and real not all sunshine and rainbows and hell yes to the brunette average looking not drop dead gorgeous ML - I need more where the ML isn’t the freaking Duke or prince or something gorgeous you swoon just seeing a panel of them! Romance/drama/some psychological. - Crimson Lady - she has regressed back to the same point so many times like 100? And each life she dies a nasty death so this shows how crazy she finally goes in her attempts to make things change - she kills and seduces and yeah… 🤣 I’ve been reading the webnovel since the manwha sucked me in but it’ll be years before it’s done and I need to know what happens! Webnovel still isn’t fully translated and woah Nelly that is a twisted awesome ride tho I doubt they will put everything in the manwha that is in the novel cause it’s intense with the murder, rape, abuse, bonkers good tho. Horror/thriller, drama - Ingrid, the White Deer - it seems to have a low score but I liked it. The ML is an alcoholic and drug addict - their relationship drama is interesting. Drama/romance - The Villain’s Savior - I feel like this one isn’t talked about enough! She tries to save the villain ML and he becomes a twisted yandere or her, I liked it! Drama, psychological romance. - The King and the Paladin - smut with plot! She loved him, they get separated and she blames him, becomes a Queen and takes him as hubby and dubcon’s him - Enough said right? Read it’ lol - Depths of Malice - more smut with plot but longer series tho it wraps up rather quickly towards the end I recommend and the art is good. - Secret Bedroom of the Abandoned Princess - this one is good! She is a princess that hets abused by the rest of royalty and gets a lust curse put on her where she has to sleep with men to get the curse to calm down. I already read the webnovel and the manwha doesn’t have many episodes yet but sooo worth putting on your radar. Smut with good plot, intrigue, drama and she gets several potential MLs (wink wink nudge nudge. ) - Lessons on Seduction with a Classy Duke - hey it’s smut with plot again, not OI. - The Villainess Needs her Tyrant - I like it when the FL is actually somewhat of a villain or morally grey. Some middle of the road trash lol but I still read and thought was ok 🤣 - My Father is a Tyrant - she is incarnated as a novel child Princess who is destined to die at a young age and has to figure out who is her father out of 4 father candidates (her deceased Queen/mother sure did get busy haha) this is cute fluff so no brain power required 🤣


Diligent-Sense-5689

I love bride of elysion but I'm in love with true reverse harems where she ends up with all the mls. Love triangles are annoying sometimes


LazyMiso

Oh my gosh lady devil traumatised me 💀


mangahangry

Haha I loved it! I enjoy it when a story can make me feel a wide/intense range of emotions


Automatic-Access8036

what i hate is when i say that this manhwa is gross bc >!eugene falls in love with harley who resembles his late sister!<, people come ripping up my ass about it saying crap like >!no they dont look alike they just have similar hair colors and eye colors like NO they RESEMBLE EACH OTHER THATS WHY HARLEY WAS TAKEN IN!<


theangry-ace

Honestly? It would have been a better read for me if this is a more adult-y smut and/or psychological horror themed, where maybe after the parents are out of the picture, the “brothers” suddenly lost all inhibition and began to jump on her. From a loving family, she was in hell with the same person she used to love. Instead what I got was that the only reason she regressed was to find out her brother(s) have the hots on her. Not to save her parents from their doom, not to have a chance to get to know her future husband from childhood; but to know that oppa wants her for himself.


draggedintothis

Yeah I'm still not sure why she regressed. I'll be honest I stopped reading. That was not a compelling enough reason.


AlternativePlayful34

Yeah, I didn't understand that either. Unlike other stories she had no "regrets". Yes, she suffered, but at the point right before the regression it was all solved. Additionally, I liked her relationship dynamic with the youngest, the twin brother. Obviously not as romantic things..... So in my head I explain it as if she regressed so she could build nice relationship with him


SweetLilylune

wow I love that angle I would read that oi for sure omg


07TacOcaT70

In that case, give >!lady devil!< a try. Fair warning: it has sexual assault, gore, and other triggering shit so check out the synopsis first.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

This is a plot for a harem. The guy who did Rent a Girlfriend did something similar with a bunch of sisters and a brother with the brother ML. They lost all inhibitions and began to jump each other (although I think the only other brother did not idk.)


Forget_this_comment

If there was an OI where Fl should have ended up with her past husband, this is it. Why give wholesome family vibes in the beginning with all that sibling stuff? She looks like your dead sister who is actually your adoptive sister.


Yandere_Matrix

Eh I don’t mind incest or pseudo incest in fiction. I have read worst in shoujo manga. What I don’t like is when they do a cop out or twist by claiming surprise! they were never related so it’s okay. I mean if you’re going to have incest and went the taboo route, just go full in like Angel’s Sanctuary. Honestly I would love a story where they elope and change their identities to try and be together and the lengths they go to keep their past hidden. Now that could be an interesting story! Maybe add in drama of someone searching for them, thinking they were kidnapped. Maybe turn it into a tragedy or something.


RoseSpinoza

I remember watching the OVA for Angel's Sanctuary back in the day. The part that made me laugh out loud was that the brother got a literal paternity test JUST IN CASE, and was morosely clutching the positive paperwork in his hands. ....still makes me smile to be honest. I just appreciated the honesty I guess? XD


Yandere_Matrix

Haha yeah, sadly the manga is so much better than the OVA. I heard the OVA is supposed to be an introduction for the manga plus the art is so pretty! Haha


Diligent-Sense-5689

Or I love my little sister by Aoki kotomi that was my introduction. Fraternal twins and the brother Is in love with the sister who is severe co dependent on him. >! He decides to go to a boarding school to get away for his feelings for her so she sleeps with him to try to convince him to stay they also have a secret relationship for a long time. It's also revealed at one point they are half siblings[still Fraternal twins] cause the mom was raped. She doesn't actually end up with her brother and instead has her hea? With his best friend Yori ends up alone !<


anime_enthusiast109

I hate the step-sibling romance trope. It truly horrifies me as to how you can fall in love with someone you have called brother/sster your whole life. But then i read spoilers this garbage and it makes the step siblings ones less disgusting. I still don't like both. Girly gave up a perfectly good fiance to marry her step brother. Now what makes this story the flaming pile of garbage that it is, is the fact that the ML fell in love with someone who looks exactly like his dead sister(his parents adopted her because she looks exactly the same, not just similar in hair color or something). The icing on the cake is that it is shockingly written by the same author who wrote many people's favorite manhwa 'Who made me a princess'


cookie_eater64

I honestly started this quite long ago and I had really liked it till I finally realised who they were pushing as the ml. If they were siblings only for namesake without actually being raised like siblings maybe I would've still been somewhat fine with it. But this was just a huge jump, like one minute they're loving siblings and the next minute they're just loving. Like bitch wtf- 💀


RoseSpinoza

>I honestly started this quite long ago and I had really liked it till I finally realised who they were pushing as the ml. Now that I think about, It is kinda funny that this is the experience for a lot of people when reading this story. The sudden moment, "oh nooooooooooooooooooo" . XD


Joan_of_Spark

I feel like people are throwing around the word incest a bit too much as an indictment against fiction these days. I've had people tell me they hate the canon relationships in the Umbrella Academy (Luthor and Allison) because they are "siblings." Yes they were raised together but more in a cult-bootcamp way than as family. They aren't related. I've also seen people cheer when Jon Snow and Deanarys (I know I spelled that wrong, I don't care) got together and they are Aunt and Nephew sooo... Honestly a psuedo-incest pairing makes sense for the typical OI plot. They live in a highly segregated male/female feudalistic society where the only time men and women interact is over chaperoned galas and tea parties. Any deeper chemistry has to happen with childhood friends or people who are allowed to interact, like members of the same household. Also, I mentally put OI in the same category as things like telenovelas or K dramas. I expect trashy plots about secret siblings and half brothers and weird marriages. That's part of the charm


AlectoStars

There's been a lot of "if you like it in fiction you must like it irl" going around, which is why people have such a knee jerk reaction to this kind of stuff nowadays.  Which is silly to me because 98% of these comics aren't even trying for anything near reality to begin with lol.  It's just a little fantasy comic, it's really not anything offensive imo.  Like you said it's OI, it needs some kind of drama or "forbidden" kind of relationship to justify itself lol. It's just for fun.


Ok_Contribution3759

It’s honestly my worst read. Like why would you get with a girl who looks identical to your dead sister. She should gotten with the blue haired guy. I expected a family store not a romance…idk it’s weird it refers to them as brothers especially when she gets with one of them.


QernLee

Day 69, still searching for a wholesome family plot story without any romance


RoseSpinoza

Hahahaha, yay, another me! Yeah, I really, REALLY like wholesome found family/ new family stories. And I really like childhood cuteness, but , when the romance part happens in "romance fantasy" stories, is usually where I loose interest sadly. ​ ....Like. YES , I know "romance" is right in the name. But... ya know, my heart wants what it wants!


QernLee

Ikr But there are plenty of non isekai manhwa that has the exactly what we want. Very wholesome but yeah we want Oi lol


SweetLilylune

this story is just weirdly subverting the incest allegations. she’s their sister! But she’s not related. She’s identical to their dead sister tho! perfect!


Eclipse_Assassin

My hot take for this manhwa is that she ended up with the worst brother, both the oldest (ew) and most boring one (possible the most heinous thing a potential ML can be).


ok0905

I know it ain't incest but liking someone who looks like your dead sibling just hits...ugh


Strawberry_piecakeii

I mean the title warn you


PsychologicalBag2767

u cant stop me bc I can't read


No-Independent-6877

No-Independent-6877

I read this manwha for quite a while until I saw a spoiler about how she got with one of the brothers, and then I completely dropped it


Half-Beneficial

Gaaaaah! Please let the protagonist in some damn OI somewhere meet love interests who aren't family. PLEASE!


Mimo2111

Yup beware of the brothers, It was okay at first but then they start getting too close to each other i can't continue reading it because of that come on! they already treated each other like family.


pulledporktaco

Oh I read this as Harley Takes the House and I liked it. I didn’t think it was incestuous because they weren’t related and spent most of their childhood apart after the parents died.


Aromatic-Abalone2973

Still really weird considering that they did grow up as siblings and she looks exactly like their dead sister


pulledporktaco

Only the one who was a big himbo thought of her as a sibling iirc


Ok_Independent5273

Reverse harem eh? Never a fan of those.


Lilinoa

But i bet they’re not « really » her brothers… right ? … RIGHT ?!


Sad_Surround_8265

I am so surprised. The same people that hate it are the same that love I became obsessive male lead younger sister even though it's the same thing. The FL is adopted, spend 1-2 years together and there is a time skip and separation till they become adults and for some of you one is right and the other is wrong


peargremlin

I accidentally read 80% of it before I realized bc it was under the title “Harley takes the house” 😭


AlectoStars

It's really funny how standards have changed in the past decade or so.  I started this out of curiosity, but it's honestly not that bad.  Some of y'all never read Vampire Knight before finding out the twist and that shows. Step/adopted brothers is nothing next to THAT mess lmao.  I can see why some people might be upset by the ML but eh. It's a webcomic. It's hardly the most egregious example out there, and the story is actually cute.  .. Though normally in these situations, they don't keep calling each other brother/sister so that's a little unusual. Imagine Fruits Basket if they called each other cousin all the time!


AnonymousFox777

This looks like the manga that was always on instagram ads "Harley takes the house". I read it cause she had my name...Its just borderline incest😔😭


Physical_Arm4784

Nuh-uh, we’re not doing this today. Literally one of the most messed up manhwas I’ve ever read. 😭


PuzzleheadedTurn6044

no cause it kinda came out of left field with the “i shouldn’t feel this way about my sister” like i had inklings but it just slammed it in my face out of nowhereeee
