somnia's manga / #Royalty(149)

Usual reincarnated gal in the body of a princess that does her best to get by. Hella good art, cute characters, hot daddies, nice. Also some funny and a bunch of cute moments UNTIL the drama hits balls deep. And oh no here comes the drama. It's good and juicy, but my weak ass will have to put this on hold and let the story finish. I won't survive reading the climax of the story in bitesized pieces, man.

You could boil this down to just another one of those "I was an evil and desperate bitch who got what she deserved and yeeted back in time to not repeat my mistakes"-kind of shoujo manga. BuT I love the pasing and writing in this one. No one is depicted as some sort of evil cartoon villain, even if they're doing something that's obviously wrong or out of place. You have the choice to excuse their behaviour because you're familiar with their nature, or you can choose to hate them while praying that they take the L asap. Honestly, that was mainly aimed at Maryjun, she's the main center of my frustration. There's something annoying about characters who're just nonsensically "better" in every aspect, but also display super naive behaviour at the same time. I'd give this 5 stars if not for Violette's behaviour being so ??? at times. There are few times when all Violette had to do was pay attention and listen or respond, but for plot convenience she randomly either doesn't care or turns deaf, mute and blind all at once.
