A fucking banger.
This is a story where the main character is a reincarnator, where they are the same soul, in the same body, just gone back in time to a certain point. The MC in question is a neglected princess named Aristine sold off to marry what her people think are barbarians . . . But she knows much better. And she'll show them how much better off she is without them and their abuses by winning over her new royal family and making her own cash to live a she pleases.
Great art, a super funny MC- honestly the majority of the characters are hilarious even when someone don't mean to be. Season 2 is well underway and you can find it on Tapas. Read it if you enjoy socially inept but hilarious princesses, people being scared of her, living your best life as revenge, and bread!

Yeah there's gonna be a running theme of isekai stories going on here, sue me.
Once a pushover in iur world, the MC is sent by truck-kun to a new world to inhabit the body of a spoiled, vicious Duke's daughter-- Debora Seymour. Instead of trying to sell a 180 personality change in the Lady, the MC takes this opportunity to learn how to assert herself and set boundaries, all while carefully crafting a plan to not be doomed to the same bad end as the original Debora in the novel.
So we got a sweet mouse MC pretending to be a wolf-like lady, a plan involving a charismatic mage, capitalism as a tool for independence, magical mathematics, and a pretty sweet story pace. Found on Tapas, I highly recommend it!

It's a manga, but it's very light. Not very intricate in terms of plot, but heartwarming.

this book pulled me out of a book slump!! the MC is weird, layered, and relatable. it was somehow a funny read while also covering dark/sad/serious topics and exploring so many emotions and relationship dynamics. cannot recommend enough.

Don't act immediately upon the desire to do something life altering like chopping off our hair, getting bangs, or a tattoo, or faking your death!
Wait 30 days. Is the temptation still there? If no, then you've saved yourself some trouble. If yes, the obviously it's a Canon event and you have to 🤷🏾♀️

Idk if you mean hatred of your like material conditions or hatred of yourself but both were mixed together for me.
I had no idea I hated my life so much until I had to sit back last year and realize a lot of the dumb decisions I made that ruined my life as I knew it were . . . More rooted in hatred than I realized. I mean, yeah economic factors and capitalist bullshit was also a major factor but boy I could have avoided a quarter of the pain I endured if I'd just not hated myself so fucking bad.
So there I was, moved back into my childhood home with my sorta toxic family, no job, no prospects on the horizon. Everything I told myself I'd end up being because I fulfilled my own prophecy in an attempt to be someone I didn't even think I deserved to be. And I couldn't change the economy, and I couldn't change the past. But I could change me. I could appreciate what I still had left after spiraling, and appreciate the chance to grow again in the future. Started a Substack, got a hobby, learned to enjoy reading books again, etc.
So it's gonna take a lot of unflinching introspection, maybe Journaling if you're into that, and learning what your bad coping methods are so you can slowly change it . . . But it can be done. You just gotta change one little habit st a time. And it might take longer than you want, but it'll feel better when you do.

Even just once in your life. You got a Fandom you absolutely adore, it keeps you going and fills your life with something positive and meaningful? Give writing for it a try! Even just a 500 word dribble you plop on to Tumblr and never touch again. It's quite nice.
