ReviewRaptor's manga / #SHOUJO(205)

Somewhat of a review, no spoilers tho. It's honestly sad that despite the detailed review of the male leads past, people still don't understand how heavily damaged he is and how normal his behavior actually is. :'D I can only say: Do not blame him. people do not magically grow out of their trauma (I mean ACTUAL trauma, not the self-diagnozed, social media kind btw). It takes AGES to fix these kinda issues, with help of a professional, which this man clearly never had. So his behavior is very realistic as these kinda people will learn to copy but do not comprehend. And if you haven't learned something, naturally you cannot just do it. Sadly the author doesn't put this all to use as well as it could be. After revealing his past there is barely any learning to be had, which is needed for these characters to work well in a story. Then again, the story has some big issues with random scene jumps and chapters feeling disconnected to the point of it feeling like there is a missing chapter inbetween each upload (which bothers me ALOT btw). I like the base plot but the results of this comic are a bit on the weak side for me. The immersion isn't quite there, the story is too rushed and feels like a rough draft being turned into a comic and the story is (for me) a tad bit too common and predictable. The translations are fine but sometimes I think there were things wrongly translated and do not make much sense the way they are written. But it's not too much of a problem really. It's an okay read I'd say, but if you've read a good hundred high quality comics it might be more in the average to low tiers in terms of writing and art alike (art isn't bad, but sometimes inconsistent with anatomy). Give it a try but I'm not interested enough to keep reading and I wouldn't recommend it either. Just not up to my standards, but maybe you can have a good time with it! Have fun~

REVIEW TIME! There's no plot spoilers, just general critique of characters and writing. :) TL;DR at the very bottom. All in all; it's not great. The Female Lead is really a bit too randomly dumb for my taste. She feels like a mixture of parts of multiple female leads we have seen before, mashed into one because: Why tf not? Not a fan of her weir dlogic in so many moments and her Mary Sue character/story traits. These kinda characters are very obnoxious to me. It might work perfectly as kiddie content, but more mature audiences will likely not find her appealing. She's too bland and undeveloped as a character. The male lead, oh boy. He DOES have appeal but he looses it after another two speech bubbles EVERY TIME. He's also a composition of random favourite traits the author saw. And his mysophobia is treated as a plot device for fun moments rather than it being an impactful mental illness I believe. The family members are horseshit, all of them. Even worse in a way than the ACTUAL Cinderella stepsiblings; because THOSE are at least fleshed out and have the typical villain-appeal that makes you love-hate them when they are on screen. Not the case with these people. They are also kinda like plot devices tbh, because 2 of them don't even exist in the comic unless they need to elevate the poor heroine's miserableness. And then, POOF, they are gone again. The writing is bland and I honestly do not have an interest in waiting for another chapter. It's just too bland, too boring and predictable and not interesting even in the bigger picture as we all know exactly how this will go (16 chapters so far and I already know how it'll turn out). Even the DIALOGUE is unimpressive and bland. Which I find sad. The art is however nice. Which is sadly the only good thing to note. There are a few issues in terms of anatomy mistakes, but it stays consistant in general where it matters and it's neither too undetailed nor too generic looking, which is nice. It's nothing impressive but despite my high standards I do not find it lacking (except for the anatomy issues, goddamn those hands stepmom had XD). I think this would be a good comic to get younger readers, with little to no experience, introduced to these kinda medieval plots. It's not too much to be overwhelming and can introduce them to the general plot bases, so that if they like those plots they can read more and get into more complicated stuff. :) I would honestly not recommend this and I have no interest in reading more. But for those out there looking for a VERY simple story while not caring about good logic and writing (or even interesting dialogue), then this is for you. People who want an interesting, exciting story should really look elsewhere. The author might need a lot of practice but this one work is no reason to avoid them, so I'm hoping for improvement in the future. TL;DR: Art is decent and consistant in style and story is basic af but good to introduce new readers to this genre. Everything else, MC and all characters as well as writing are bland, boring and uninteresting.

I honestly HATE characters like her. Just because your previous life was bad due to simple miscommunication does NOT make you perfectly fine to act like a bitch towards people when you regress, for things that did not happen. The author of this is pretending it's ok by throwing in some random cutesy chibi funny haha panels, but that does NOT overshadow/erase her shitty behavior. Mind you, she keeps insulting her husband who hasn't done anything except be bad at communication in this forced marriage, simply because in her PREVIOUS LIFE they were shitty at communicating. BOTH OF THEM, not just HIM. I hate characters like her and authors like these. You can tell it's a female-written story so easily and one of a female that thinks she's always right and she cannot be wrong about anything. This might turn out a nicer story but I honestly do not care. She's a shitty MC in terms of personality and I'll definitely not bother forcing myself to keep reading more than the first few chapters. She's obnoxious and a weirdo in so many ways. Not recommended for anyone that likes normal people as MCs.

I am in love with how refreshing this plot is! Princesses are indeed WAY too glorified in stories, there is more negatives about beinga princess than positives. I'm glad someone finally picked up on this and made a story focusing on the issues royalty faces from an outsider's perspective and commentating on it. It's very pleasant to read. The writing itself is done VERY well and the art is not too bad. Many panels are absolutely lovely they way the girls are smiling and how detailed the artist drew them. Well done! I do wish however that they had kept the tension or caution towards the prince for a longer time tho. With how seriously the tone is when dealing with other people and situations, it feels like the MC doesn't take the prince seriously (so to speak, given how they interact). I think that aspect could have been done better if approached a little slower and it would have taken a while to make them friendly with one another. Not that I mind the comic relief, but still. It feels a little unfitting for the otherwise serious tones. The characters are very lovely too. The princess is adorable in many ways, the prince feels a bit bland bit not too much and the MC is neatly written in terms of behavior, reasoning, etc.. I very much like that, too many people these past few years ignore that important factor when writing. :'D All in all, a decent and interesting plot that keeps me hooked. Definitely worth a read! If the characters and plotline are to your liking, you'll definitely be able to enjoy this I'd say. (=・ω・=)
