Meridian's manga / #Royalty(46)

Super cute with plenty of funny moments. I loved the side story with the ML's friend and how he turned out so twisted, only for it to mostly be from the push of the original author. The self-awareness of certain characters that their world was a novel, the blurred memories of the protagonist of her first life, and the lore behind the summoning method were all pretty unique points that I enjoyed.

Honestly, the fact that the kid was the ML threw me off for a long time. I still don't feel that comfortable with it. Once they were both adults and had memories of their previous lives it got a lot better, and the background of the story was super interesting. I'm always a sucker for any sort of time paradox/escaping a preset fate trope. Also the butler Edmund dying had me ugly crying so you know he was an amazingly well-written side character.
