It's good to see MCs being the central force in the story, and not someone that story just happens to revolve around while they go along for the ride. And having MCs that have personalities, likes and dislikes, and aren't just generically "good" and bland. Also, the princess is clearly a dude...
@Syanalassa Is that you coming up with excuses for the MC being dumb, or was that stated somewhere? The MC just says "There was nothing in particular I wanted, so I passed". The castle also wasn't a monkey paw's wish. It was what Renona wanted. Besides, if the king decides he wants the castle...
So if I understood it correctly the knight lady got pressured into accepting a dilapidated territory after the other, more savvy heroes, refused. The king presumably wants the heroes to spend their own money rebuilding the territory, thus injecting gold into the kingdom's economy. Because...
Ah, I reread the first chapter and remembered why I dropped it on the first chapter the last time I read it.
I respect the guy for putting his foot down and leaving a bad relationship. It may not be the best way to handle it, but it does sound like even at the best of times the girl was a bit...
I feel bad for Irene. It seems she can't get rid of them for the same reason the MC gets dragged around: they have a higher station, so she can't just straight up tell them to go away. She probably tries to be subtle and drop hints that they're unwelcome, or used to, and they completely ignore...
I don't get why everyone here in the comments dislikes Angel. She's being so very considerate to Rena! Rena wants to not draw attention, and what better way to do so than have someone else be flashy and demand everyone's attention? She just has to stay out of her way and let her occupy the...
Why would Rena care that Angel is in her seat, if her seat is next to the prince she wants to avoid? She gets to be rid of Angel and the prince, and move to a less conspicuos spot while Angel draws all the attention, which is exactly what she wants in the first place.
Ordering the saintess to die to revive someone that killed herself because she didn't want to go forward with her arranged marriage is really dumb. First of all, you're losing the saintess, who could be used to heal life-threatening injuries numerous times instead of just dying to revive one...
Wait, why was the king right in front of the abandoned palace of the hated concubine, just standing by a broken down wall? And when apparently an intruder was seen by guards seconds before? You'd think the king would be moved to somewhere safer when an intruder is found in the palace just meters...
So what was the maid's plan? Leave her there, and hope the guards would catch her and dispose of her? They don't seem to be looking for her, and she's just a child, so they would likely want to check her identity before doing anything serious to her.
Maybe, if you remember being an adult and going to college, you could skip the childish tantrum? Try to think of a solution to the problem instead of crying about how you don't like it and leaving the work of thinking of a way around it to the ten year-old you supposedly care about.
@krzywasabi The heroine seems to have some kind of control over the world, and enjoys seeing the MC die over and over. Apparently the MC didn't know at least until this most recent life in which she remembered everything as a baby. There's also the wizard guy, Solomon, who noticed immediately...
Well, I'm glad she got to this point, but I feel that for such a devoted fan it took too long to realize that her perspective of the world was based on an unreliable narrator. It's a very basic literary device, and the forums for the story should have had loads of people speculating on wether...
Really clever, telling the guards you're the person they're looking for. You could at least have tried telling them you're making a delivery, or that you came to be treated. That way you could learn what;s going on without exposing yourself. Also, what a surprise, Claude buys into what Stephanie...
I think it's reasonable for even an adult modern person to not be ready to stomach war. I know I definitely wouldn't want to volunteer to lead an army. Even knowing the guy is scum, I wouldn't enjoy watching an execution. And here we might finally find one way in which the isekai tag actually...
"Oh no! I don't have a cheat skill, other than being the heir to a territory and being essentially set for life as long as I don't mess things up!" I mean, I get that he was just a high-schooler, but he should understand that being part of the nobility is a pretty massive cheat in itself. He...
