So funny! Mr. Villain has such personality (and very relatable problems). ~Chapter 56

Chapter 68

So much depth and nuance in all of the characters, and manages to balance lighthearted elements of the plot with more serious and complex ones. My favorite chapter is probably the switch-around, where the author reimagines Snow as a dragon and Tungsten as a human that becomes King. It is such an accurate and well-thought out version of what would happen in that scenario. It just speaks to the level of depth the writer brought to this concept, how pain can sometimes intermix with love. Props to the author for this masterwork. I hope s/he continues to write. 5/5 stars ~ Chapter (I'm not sure) 53-58

Princess Alicia is a modern woman from Tokyo, reborn as Alicia in a novel her sister wrote. Alicia was born in a small smithing town, with her mother and her half-brother by her side...until they discover that, at her mother's untimely death, her half-brother is the last heir of the noble crown to Lianne. He and his half-sister go to Lianne's capital, where the mc is trying to avoid all the 'doom flags/endings' and get the heck out of dodge with some guy named Lancelot, whose face she's never seen. Little does she know that she ends up sleeping with the novel's hero, Ares Crenoix, who takes a little more than a liking to her...and ends up entangled in her problems within the castle and the petty politics the main establishment is up to. She ends up at the castle, trying to increase her power and protect her little brother by ending up as Ares' weapons' advisor (all while telling herself that Ares is not her type). Edit: He proposes at the end of chapter 73 (despite them technically being engaged, or pretending to in order to introduce the idea of 'she's potentially going to see someone romantically' to her brother); also, the end of the season Edit: on the verge of answering his proposal in chapter 80 Edit 9/9/23: She proposes to him. - Chapter 85 Edit:1/9/24: They basically admits that they like each other - Chapter 109 ~Chapter 102

Guy goes back to school, only to have to face his past (his stalker/former "best friend" who raped him) and his future (another stalker-like character who goes on and on about 'saving' him). Luckily the latter has a lot of genuinely good qualities, one of which is being there for the main character. He ends up in the hospital after a series of events at the end of the manga, only for him to actually resolve part of his past with the former best (doesn't forgive him, but makes peace with his past) and start his life anew. ~Chapter 45.5

What a masterpiece.

The seme’s ex was literally such an interesting character! I understood why they both ended up in the place they did, and neither disrespected the other. I also appreciated the fact that there was a level of realism going on in the uke’s acceptance of his own feelings. He seemed to acknowledge the fact that he felt strongly about this person, but couldn’t reconcile those feelings with what it would be like to be in a same-sex relationship (which is fair, since he had likely never felt that way towards a guy, and being in a relationship with someone generally includes sex). Finally, he ended up acting on those feelings and deciding to choose the unknown for this other person.
