While the initial regression premise is engaging and the art style is exceptionally well-done, I have decided to discontinue reading.
The inclusion of a "childhood reverse harem" dynamic introduces romantic undertones at a stage where the characters are still kiddos!! And creating.. an uncomfortable power imbalance that distracts from an otherwise amazing plot. For readers who enjoy this specific trope, it is a beautifully illustrated series.
The action and core plot are so strong, which is why the sudden shift in tone during Lady Laia's (?) introduction felt a bit jarring. It's a minor detail in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes these minor, unnecessary additions distract from an otherwise great story.
The setup was great, but the execution felt increasingly unreasonable as the chapters went on. It feels less like a love story and more like a frustration-inducing power struggle.
I skipped so much of the political intrigue and I'm glad I did because it got cleaned up with a fade to black so I never needed to remember any of it anyway
This is so hard to read with all the misunderstandings! Good thing I am good at scrolling and voila at chapter 12 one misunderstanding fixed. Hahahahhaha
