ReviewRaptor's manga / #SHOUJO(206)

While the base plot (as often is the case with these stories) is indeed interesting to a certain degree, this one is just not well written at all. I can forgive the parts in which it seems like stuff is repeating, forwhatever reason, and even those where it seems like you missed a scene or it simply comes across a bit messy. But the lack of logic and rushed 'progress points' are just ruining this. The emperor, duke and the headmaid are the ones that have the biggest logic flaws but there are also times in which the behavior or reasoning of the main character and emperor just seem entirely random and come across like they are only behaving that way to move the plot along. Which is horrible writing, something I only expect of an amateur that really didn't bother checking if their story even made sense. The art is alright and the base plotline is nice but this nilly-willy writing just makes this unreadable for me. It could be a nice read for people that can ignore these obvious flaws, likely young girls that don't think twice if the love fantasy they read even makes sense (Shoujo-Land ahoy!). But for people that like good writing this is something to avoid. It may not be the worst in terms of writing, but it's certainly very bothersome if you prefer things to make sense and be realistic in terms of reasoning. Enjoy to whoever can, to each their own.

The story did seem really interesting even if it was just yet another re-chewed version of the same old base plot, but considering how bad the writing is I'll pass on this one. I don't think it's a translation error that makes this seem so weird, but 2 chapters in and it still feels like a rough recap or confusing promo story in which major bits and pieces are missing. It could be that the translation team missed to submit these 2 chapters as a promo chapter (which would explain all issues, sorta) but since it doesn't seem to be the case I'm quite disappointed. Tho if anyone knows for sure that the first 2 chapters are just a mistitled promo, DO tell and I'll give this another go some other time. Anyways. Since I'm not into that kinda choppy flow of stories I'll pass on this one. Sadly nothing I can recommend if this is how the writing level will continue.

Okay, this is by far one of the worst female MCs I've come across. She's not only plain stupid, but has also a huge case of protagonist syndrome, goes hopping to conclusions like a bunny to carrots and has just such a flawed logic that I'm not just confused but also baffled. WTF. 4 chapters in and I'm so done with her and already pity the guy (who hasn't done a single thing to justify her biased mindset and 'leave me alone' attitude, he literally just asked a damn question, wtf). I'm so done with this. Have fun whoever can endure this kinda annoying female lead, but I'm not gonna endure this.
