Mikodami's Manga

Good story idea but with poor execution.

Not worth reading. Everything is way too complex for this kind of story. Very little background is explained. And once the story starts to get promising it's suddenly 'End' [sic]. Literally. So in the end the title has very little to do with the content of the story. Neither does the princess -- who isn't even a princess, just a daughter of one -- show any genius, nor does she become the empress. The story ends when she becomes 14 years old. And the fact that she transmigrated is absolutely completely irrelevant to the story.

A very satisfying story with an interesting transmigration background. Beneath the colorful, sunny exterior lies a complex world with all its problems. This story doesn't shy away from addressing the deepest tragedies. There is bullying, there is abuse, insanity and murder. I especially like the approach to the topic of gender based discrimination of women. Due to the serious examination of these ugly human traits it's more appropriate for mature readers. But on the other hand it shows how love is a major moving force and how love can make people and in the end the world, better.

This is a very nice story taking a tongue-in-cheek look at reality shows like 'Survivor', 'Idols' or 'Big Brother'. Placed in a steampunk like alternate reality, it's a light hearted, Cinderella type of story with pretty typical shōjo feeling. There is some maneuvering, intrigue and low level drama, but with very interesting twists. The isekai aspect is very limited but still refreshing nevertheless. The romance parts are very nice although not the most important, or at least not the single most important parts of the story. All the primary characters and their developments are very well fleshed out. There are some minor logical problems but since the story is so convoluted and in the end very nice, they were very easy for me to ignore. The nice artwork helped, too.
Since this was all in all such a nice read, I definitely want to read it again in the future, so logically it makes my five stars list.

Story idea is not bad but the realization, both story telling and graphical presentation, is chaotic.

Generally good story, but due to what feels like missing pages, sometimes difficult to follow. Both the leads feel like real people and their relationship is neither an all fluff story nor toxic but a realistic one with much development. Not a lot love scenes but a lot of -- sometimes very bloody -- corpses instead. The villains are challenging and the intrigues interesting. Added bonus is the very nice artwork.

The best female lead EVER!
Cool transmigration story, lots of fun and an MC who, in a complete role reversal, puts all the pesky male leads in their places and takes over the world while getting the man she loves. You gotta read this if you like Gurrrrl Power.
