The Villiainess Is Adored by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom
Boring, she just lets stuff happen to her. Protagonist literally makes no decisions or actively pursues anything. She just reads, the predictably perfect prince falls in love with her from afar (zero interaction) and proposes to her while she’s getting slam-dumped. Then they are boring together. Who is giving this 5 stars lol
Daughter of the Emperor
Had lots of potential, but really repetitive and bland characters. Had to drop it even though I used to be invested, since it just goes around in circles. Characters are weird (in a bad way) and revolve around boring protagonist, who doesn’t seem to have any thoughts of her own aside from obsessing over her dad or the plain white knight stereotype character... Asisi I think? They don’t develop much in any risky, interesting ways either. Even tho protagonist should have a life at some point, like after the time skip when she has more agency to do as she wants.... nope... gotta do the same shit forever. Don’t believe me? Pick a chapter, any chapter, and see if she’s solemnly wondering what’s wrong w either Asisi or Caitel. I dare you. It happens so often it could be a drinking game.

Just read Hawksong, it’s basically the story this ripped off but so much better. This is so melodramatic and the characters/plot don’t really hold up well. If you want political marriage romance with shapeshifters at war, gooo read Hawksong!
Beatrice
Pretty boring tbh. The *least* realistic thing is that male superiors would give credit to a humble woman. Take it from every single office job ever. Also really similar to Doctor Eloise but worse, because they romanticize being a war slave. Girl basically exists with all this knowledge already acquired (herbal knowledge somehow applies to a fantasy world) 100% Snow White vibes, and she seduces a sociopath by existing. Art’s ok but inconsistent. Pass

Ok I read the entire thing because it’s hilarious. It reads like bad fanfic. The girl is the worst assassin ever made. The characters all look like off-model final fantasy characters. Every character find an excuse to assault the female lead and despite her karate skills she can’t do anything. The whole thing reads like an angsty weeb high school kid writing their own hentai. It’s bad writing and tastelessly smutty, but in kind of a naïve way.
