It's pretty hilarious, but currently slowing down in terms of plot. The art is nothing impressive, it's serviceable. The female lead is very strong and independent, but I feel there's a huge disconnect between her past life and her current life. No matter what, I don't see her as a professional assassin. The story's going for a reverse harem, and she's surrounded by ikemen. There's a lot of characters and it's easy to lose track of which characters have already been introduced. I don't like how she already slept with the Emperor even though their relationship hasn't gotten to the peak yet, and they both still have lots of secrets from each other.

I'm Not The Saint, So I'll Just Leisurely Make Food At The Royal Palace

Ahhhh this isekai manga about cooking is hilarious, I really enjoyed all the chapters that are out so far. She was summoned to another world, but it turns out she isn't the saint, and instead was mocked for her chubbiness. She quickly learns to use her cooking skills to win over everyone in this new world, because the food they eat sucks. The personalities of the three royal brothers are distinct and complement each other. Art is good for shoujo manga, although not the most detailed.
