axima's manga / #royalty(154)

The ML is super cute but so far that's all it has going for it.

I would've given it a 4 if it wasn't for Darius the homewrecker. First he tells her to pay with her body when the country is at stake and she's willing to offer him money/land/whatever, then he tries to rape her and assaults her numerous times, then to top it off he calls her his woman like she isn't already taken. I don't understand why they haven't killed this dickhead for treason.

Feels like they're trying to hard to lean in to the wrong aspects. I'm sick of the shallow relationship she has with the cardboard cutout maid, the girl power makes no sense and similarly serves no purpose, her actions aren't clearly explained, pacing is all over the place, and on top of all that she barely talks with the ML. EDIT: Yeah I don't wanna read this.

Forgot to review, far from the pinnacle of storytelling. Good enough if you just want a simple palette cleanser. Fair bit of the screentime is just porn but hey, I'm desperate enough for more stuff to read that I'll look for plot here.

The romance is too messy. They introduced a forgotten childhood friend that she clearly had a thing for but are pushing another dude as the ML.

Too many women. The brother be lookin fiiine. ML is cute too and I appreciate him being direct but nice, since it differs a little from the typical "overly nice chivalrous" or "cold asshole" archetypes. No reincarnation in this case, so FL is an honest to god kid, which always has a few downsides.

Collection of one-shots. Quality varies, most are mediocre. Only one of them is isekai.

Maybe it'll get good?

Another case of "it could be good but probably not".

Cute enough but not super engaging.
