I like the overall vibe and the premise but it's too early to tell.
This wasn't for you. You didn't like it. Go read this instead.

Just a reminder for myself why I dropped this.
I already hated it before I even finished chapter 4. I decided to give it one more chance with chapter 5 and the ML (prince) is absolute trash. He INTENTIONALLY let her get hurt. The gun would have done nothing to him and he knew it. I get that he was suspicious of her at the time but he treats it lightly even now.
He basically says to her face that he knows she's angry he hid that but that he doesn't regret it, because at least now he can use her. Kept going just a bit further and I have to skip all their "romantic" moments because it feels too forced. Now she's been attacked and she's being blamed for fighting back instead of fleeing. I understand the logic behind it but ugh. I hate this story sm.
I knew I had read more of this. Here:

Came expecting drama, left well fed. FL is hilarious and awkward but doing her best. ML likes to fluster her, which is a dynamic I adore. Misunderstandings are cleared up almost immediately on the spot, not dragged out 100+ chapters. There's a snarky aide even if we only see a little of him. Perfection.
The only thing really enjoyable is her ex and his new wife. I like how silly they are and how they laugh off most things.
The rest of the story is bland, boring, and not engaging enough for me. A lot of it is politics or "this is how intelligent fl/ml is" and I'm just not the target audience for that kind of story. I stuck with it until about chapter 20 but I can't anymore. I guess I'm too dumb to care about this sort of thing. Oh well.
I was staring at chapter 20, trying to figure out why there's a golden fist coming out of a cup. It's a honey wand.
Am I the only one who misses the old translation? The new one isn't bad but the old one felt more authentic.
What do you expect them to do about it? It’s not even the same translator. What an unhelpful comment.
They took down the old chapters. They were here for years. And clearly, this wasn't directed at you, this was just a general musing. What a self centered person, assuming every comment on this site must benefit YOU and ONLY YOU. Like damn, sorry your highness, I didn't realize that your bitchiness needed serving today.
Wah Wah I’m replying to a public comment made on a public site so cry more
Crashed out over not being coddled, classic. What I've heard about you is accurate. You really are that kind of person. Good to know.
Sounds like you’re the one crashing out lmao. Keep wahahaing.
I don't know what you're talking about because I've never seen the old translation, but I'm replying to your comment because I hope you don't feel discouraged by such a harsh reply. I don't know why that person was so rude to you, but don't let it get to you. The world needs more love, and we're here on Mangago to have fun, not to second-guess ourselves.
I considered dropping around chapter 6. It felt too cringy, I didn't like the ML, and the only good part was the friendship between the girls.
It does get better. If you're thinking of dropping it, read three more chapters. While I still don't like the prince as a ML, I do like him as a character. And while it isn't a deep story by any stretch of the imagination, it's a nice little story to enjoy in your downtime.
That this is not listed as a comedy. I swear it is. It has to be. This is an apocalypse, zombie mutation COMEDY. It should be labeled as such before anything else. It's a comedy with horror added in for spice.
