This isekai/romance manhwa was adapted from light-novel.
#Story: 10/10
Like some of other isekai anime/manga/manwha, the main character, beautiful princess, can remember what was happened in previous life. It turns out she reincarnated to the princess who had miserable life in the book she was read.
Her dad, the king, is a cold-heart person that want to kill her. This story begins with the simply idea of MC who want to survive from her bloody dad. Then it turns to romance/comedy story.

But what make this manhwa interesting is 'MC can change the story'. The readers are in the same view as MC, we won't know what will happen ... next.
The past is shown from time-to-time, that makes we understand the story little by little.

If you love the isekai story with gorgeous-lovely looking characters with a strong romance story, this manhwa is the right choice.

As I read from light-novel, I can say that this manhwa try to keep every details from LN to be recognized in manhwa.

#Art: 9/10
The art is great. The sapphire-like blue eyes are shiny as if as they were real gems. The design of every single dress of royal characters are incredible.
Emotional face of each scene are touchable. Also the feeling of the wind blow was so real, I really love it.

#Character: 10/10
Each character, even she is a maid, have their own back history.
I love how they showed them from the very beginning when the MC was just a baby how personality they were and how they grown up.
They have reasonable reasons to do any action, especially MC.
Each character has their own unique personality that make you have to choos with team you are on (lol).

I remember I used to think this was some kind of Lolicon stuff when Instagram showed me a Tappytoon advertisement but I am seriously so happy that it turned out to be different.

Story: 9/10
The story plot isn't exactly a new one but nevertheless, I enjoy it greatly as I am a fan of Isekai plots. Furthermore, you never know what happens and the interplay of the different characters adds more to the suspense.
Moreover, I also like the fact that romance is not in the spotlight of this story.

Art: 10/10
I would even give an 11 if it was possible. I find these images so beautiful, I ... really really love the appearances of the characters. The clothing is very detailed, much to my pleasure. And oh my God, the royal bloodline's jewel eyes hit differently. These are just out of the world. If they were real, I would probably think I died and landed in heaven somehow.
The appearances are what made me read this series in the first place. I even read some parts repeatedly, just to savour the drawings with my eyes.

Characters: 9/10
The characters are great!
Each character has a meaning and therefore none of them feels as if they're not needed for the story.
I am especially enamoured by Claude, Lucas and Felix. Those are my men.
I also like Athy very much; the girl is too adorable for her own good.

Enjoyment: 10/10
Obsession. Maybe that's what I feel with this manhwa.
As I started reading this, I did not expect that I would read the whole season 1 (chapter 1-46) in one night; I literally absorbed this until I caught up to the current chapter back then.
Now I am patiently waiting for new chapters.
There was a Christmas break (2019) and I suffered so much because every chapter feels like a cliffhanger to me..

Overall:
If you like Isekai, Fantasy and Shoujo - this is the manhwa to go.
I highly recommend it.

I didn't see a review for this so decided to write one, this is my first time writing one and I'm sorry this review going to be awful.


Wmmap is an isekai manhwa, where the mc suddenly wakes up in the body of a baby and after a while she realises that she actually woke up in a world of a novel and that she is going to be killed when she turns18 by her stupid father for something she didn't even do, so she decides to run away after she has enough money but while looking for a place to hide her loot she encounters ... the emperor her father so now she tries to act cute to make him like her while she is screaming in the inside which is hilarious to read.

woke up in a world of a novel type mahwa are really popular rn so there are lots of them but this one definitely is one of the best ones not only because of the art, well mostly because of the art and Athy's internally screaming. the art is amazing, it's gorgeous! like there aren't enough words to describe the art it's just beautiful. I enjoyed reading about Athy trying her best to survive using her cuteness.

the characters include her father(psycopath no.1) the genius magician lucas(who wants to eat her dog), the novel's heroine jenny (don't hate on her she really is a good girl and wants to be a good sister to athy) the hero keil (not a bad kid deserves love and he thought athy was an angel), our Mc Athy (she's is so cute), lily (her maid who fell for Athy's mom and wanted to devote herself to athy) and felix (the emperor's friend and athy guard we see him with dog ears a couple of times)

I really enjoyed reading wmmap, I liked how Claude came to care for Athy, liked the characters seeing them interact with Athy was fun and how she really comes to love that world in season one, I really hope season 2 will be great.

sorry you had to read this review.

"Who Made Me A Princess" is an engaging and captivating manga that combines elements of fantasy, romance, and drama. The story revolves around Athanasia, a young girl who is reincarnated as the princess of a magical kingdom. However, she soon discovers that her life is in danger due to a curse placed upon her by her own father, the king.

One of the strongest aspects of this manga is its well-developed characters. Athanasia, the protagonist, is a likable and relatable character who undergoes significant growth throughout the story. Her determination to change her fate and protect herself from harm is inspiring. The supporting characters, including the ... charming prince, Lucas, and the loyal knight, Claude, add depth and complexity to the narrative.

The artwork in "Who Made Me A Princess" is beautifully done, with detailed illustrations and expressive character designs. The manga effectively captures the emotions of the characters, enhancing the overall reading experience. The vibrant and colorful visuals also bring the fantasy world to life, immersing the reader in the story.

The plot of the manga is intriguing, filled with suspense, political intrigue, and unexpected twists. It successfully blends light-hearted and comedic moments with more intense and dramatic scenes. The pacing is well-balanced, keeping the reader hooked and eager to know what happens next.

Another notable aspect is the romantic subplot, which adds an extra layer of sweetness to the story. The growing relationship between Athanasia and Lucas is portrayed with care and tenderness, making it enjoyable to follow their interactions.

However, one potential drawback is that the story occasionally rushes through certain plot points, leading to missed opportunities for deeper exploration or character development. Some readers may also find the plot predictable at times, especially if they are familiar with common tropes in the fantasy genre.

Overall, "Who Made Me A Princess" is a delightful manga that will appeal to fans of fantasy and romance. It offers a well-crafted story, compelling characters, and beautiful artwork that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.

Cheers,

To say the least, I enjoyed reading WMMAP. It’s a refreshing story that focuses more on the father-daughter relationship and less on romance. We’re made aware of the reasons for Claude’s initial hate for Athy. Just like Athy, at first, I hated him for killing original Athanasia. As the story progresses and as his motivation was revealed, I couldn’t help but empathize with him.

Athy really doesn’t have any lofty ideals and frankly, I can’t think of anything about her personality that stands out. She simply wants to survive and live until 18 and perhaps as a result of her previous life, she doesn’t have ... much expectations. Sure, she does like sparkly things and was delighted when she was given a treasury key, she doesn’t really make it her goal of obtaining it. She doesn’t desire to be loved and is perfectly fine without it. She’s very much independent and strangely, has decent morals. However, I don’t see her as someone as kind as a saint. She has no qualms in insulting Roger Alpehus, because she sees him as someone manipulative. On the other hand, she is very kind towards people that wouldn’t bring her harm and is very vocal about her dislike of someone, if it doesn’t harm her life. Athy is very clear that she would do anything to survive.

For people who want to see the protagonist undergo major character change, Athy would definitely not fit your tastes. I don’t see her as Mary Sue. However, she definitely doesn’t have any fatal character flaw.

For anyone who has read too much isekai about a girl wanting to escape her destiny of getting killed, this story would bore you. Just like what I’ve said, it doesn’t introduce anything new nor does it subvert your expectations. You could easily find the characters in WMMAP in any other story. Perhaps the only redeeming factor about this story is its outstanding art and decent development. One thing’s for sure, the author knows what foreshadowing is. At the very least, the characters have their own motivations that are otherwise hard to realize unless you look carefully.

WWMAP is at best, average and at worst, bland. Nevertheless, it was a good read.

Final arc in this adaption was awful and, per those who read the novel, was a mere portion of the latter-part of the story. So everything else that was interesting or important to the worldbuilding was ignored. For a far too prolonged mini-arc. And, then it ends.

However, even with the knowledge some of the novel was copied from another person's similar story, the writing itself was good. It's one reason it managed to get more people interested in this particular genre and tropes, with a lot of help from the amazing art. So even if you're particular with how adaptions end, it's not as ... bad as already complained. That said, it's more annoying how too many will reference this series as *the* representative for this genre and will instinctively compare newer, at times better, series to it.

.

The story revolves around our FL who isekai'd into a novel she read. With her memories of that life, she doesn't expect much from her father nor forms an attachment to the palace that merely fed and housed her. So she planned to leave even before she could crawl and slowly built herself strong enough to do so. Both physically and through people connections.

But as fate would have it, she wound-up meeting her father and subsequently living a pretty good life. Aside from the looming sense of doom that she'll be killed and her love forever unrequited. So the original timeline was plenty altered by the time the story was set to begin. And then came the expected drama.

Overall, until the final arc, the story was well-paced and engaging. Hints were thrown about, as were red-herrings, and only those who read the novel or its summaries knew what to expect. It truly is an enjoyable read. So if the final arc was treated properly as a mini-arc, even if the adaption were to still end there, it'd be a far better story. With just as much left unsaid.

I was one of the people pointing fingers and mocking these LN adaptations about boys getting kicked into fantasy settings filled with gorgeous women wanting to get a piece of them.

What a fool.

"Who made me a princess" begins in the cutest way imaginable: a woman gets reincarnated as a baby princess that is destined to die throughout a classic fantasy story. Baby is determined for that not to happen, and decides to be the most adorable creature imaginable to avoid that fate.

If you get tired of heart squeezing toddler hijinks (and I never was, mind you, but IF you are), time passes and various different ... "love interests" begin to pop up as the child turns into a young woman and the actual story starts to take place. It consists mostly of trying to keep her alive while not completely rewriting the story, although there are many hints as the plot progresses that not everything is as it seems.

The art is absolutely stunning, every page filled with a gorgeous array of vibrant colours, and even if the character designs fall into same-face-syndrome at times, the amount of detail and care that are put in each drawing completely make up for it. An utter joy to see the various dresses and hairdos our main character changes into, dumb point, but I honestly looked forward to them.

And the characters themselves (shoutout to our main princess) are precious.
The way people change throughout the manhwa is heart wrenching, from cold bastards to hot bastards ;)

All winks and nudges aside, the relationship between characters can be exceptionally sweet and can (sometimes) progress in an adequate measure of time, especially taking into account the years some of them pass together.

A complete guilty pleasure for me, it just gives me everything I wanted from an isekai. Like, haven't you ever wish to be able to redo your whole life again, knowing what you know now? AND be rich and cute? I dont even know what else you want man.

Who Made Me A Princess, a shoujo isekai in which the character dies and somehow gets transported in another world she knows. When she was transferred, she became Athanasia de Alger Obelia. The most miserable character in “Lovely Princess”. Her goal is to survive and avoid execution caused by her father, Claude.

The story is not the most original, but you don’t need to be original to make something good. The story in my opinion has the best pacing I could possibly crave for. Its good enough for character development and the continuing of the plot. I really can’t say much about this part to avoid ... spoilers, but what i can certainly say that its a REALLY GOOD STORY.

I don’t really need to talk about art here, do i? Its so good to the point whenever I read another manga or webtoon, it looks like a peasant compared to this. It made my standards jump way too high, tho I really dont mind. Well kudos to spoon for having eye jumping art.

The characters, aside from the art is the best thing I really like about this whole webtoon. They develop in a very human way, at first I thought that they would immediately love each other ( Claude and Athy I mean) the moment they first saw each other, well mostly Claude. But it didn’t.

At first, it was all a scheme for Athy, a way to survive. Yet they found themselves loving each other more and more. Claude in particular is a very interesting character, he seems like your typical male character in a shoujo, he is, well kind of. When the author develops Claude more, you see him becoming more and more human. He becomes a person, a person who was hurt and refused to be manipulated and had enough with everyone.

That situation is very possible in reality, despite his rejection, he found himself being in love again. He found himself in love and he found himself being able to love.

Athy, best girl, fight me. Her character is the person I aim for lol. She’s a girl who is not naive ( I had enough with naive mc’s) and thank god. But moreover, what i found in her was really warm. Despite knowing that she may die in the hands of Claude one day, she calls him daddy and turns into a real “Daddy”, a dad she never experienced.

She is a kind, and anything but a lovable character. A character that somehow, we relate to in some way.

I really enjoyed the whole thing. Every single day, I wait for a new chapter, patiently and at the same time I crave for more. Wondering what will happen next, to fill in such void, I reread the entire story, but I never get enough of it. I always find myself enjoying it no matter how many times I read it.

If you ask me if you should read it. What’s stopping you?

In my opinion, legit one of the best stories I have read. I makes your emotion go around. It makes you feel and realize things you never knew. Its great, its nothing but something great. You don’t even need to ask if its worth it, from the start and hopefully till the very end, it would have the same worth and maybe even gain more worthy that would definitely captivate your heart.

But, a part of me somehow says that, it would definitely grow more, and be more worthy than it is now. In other words, it would turn out even greater till the very end.


And like I said, it doesn’t need to be original to be original. And, thats what makes this story, the story that i love, the story that I would certainly be glad to have read... The story that makes it..

“Who Made Me A Princess”


( all categories are 10 lol)

(From my pfp itself, it’s obvious I love WMMAP

I LOVE IT.........

Words are less to describe how I feel about this story.
From all the stories I have read about a woman reincarnating as the princess of another world this is, with no doubts, the best one of them.

The story was interesting even when she was just a baby unlike " The emperor's daughter " and she us an actual interesting character and her goals are great, she actually works hard and tries her best to change her fate. This story captures how the king and his daughter truly becomes family even with the challenges that face them. To me this story is amazing and ... is really worth every second of my time.

Many people here who have read this manga just knows that the art is not something you can complain about. The art is absolutely beautiful, and even on its more lacking panels it is still well put together. The scenes, character design, and color schemes are so nicely done that reading the boring parts of the story seem interesting.


And at last, I'm going to talk about the characters, because each character in this manwha has depth to them, their own motivations, things they care about, not only for the sake of the plot but for them as a character and that can be quite rare to see so I really think this helps Who Made Me a Princess be such a well-done manwha.

As I immerse myself in the pages of this captivating manhwa, I can confidently declare that it was an incredibly worthwhile journey. Yes, it falls into the isekai genre and has hints of a love triangle, but at its core, it beautifully revolves around the heartwarming relationship between a father and his cherished daughter. To my delight, not a single chapter left me bored; I was hooked from start to finish.

The art style, oh, the art style! It's an absolute delight. Sometimes it's playful and cute, tugging at my heartstrings, while other times, it delves into intricate details that have me transfixed on the characters, ... almost oblivious to the plot's progression. The artists' talent shines through, breathing life into the world they've crafted.

Among the plethora of manga and manhua I've explored, this one truly stands out. Its ability to seamlessly blend emotions, action, and storytelling is truly commendable, making it a unique and extraordinary read. This gem has left a lasting impression on me, surpassing my expectations and distinguishing itself as a rare find in the realm of fantastical tales.

In conclusion, this manhwa has taken me on an enchanting adventure, and I find myself yearning for more with every turn of the page. It's an absolute must-read for anyone seeking a story that will transport them to a world of wonder and leave an indelible mark on their heart.

Story (⅗. Typical plot for a unique niche)
The story goes back and forth between what happens in Who Made A Princess (WMMAP) and Lovely Princess (the original world that the protagonist reincarnated into). This allows the readers to grasp the impact of the protagonist's actions and how it affects the future plot of the story. The story manages to subtly highlight complex themes such as the internal self and Fate vs Free Will while delivering it in a good balance between light-hearted and serious. The plot progression has some headscratchers, sometimes deus ex machina is obvious, and some parts of the world are filled with ... logical plotholes, but I think this work is a good starter for the classic family-oriented Otome Isekai – especially when the genre is very niche as of now. In my opinion, there are arcs that are either too short or too dragged out – I myself took a break from reading it because a specific arc felt too extended. As of now, the manhwa isn’t complete yet, but it seems like it will be near completion.

Art (5/5. My eyes have been blessed. The lifeblood of the manhwa)
The first thing that drew me into the manhwa was its art. I am continuously fascinated by how the artist colors and colors the sceneries and characters (especially the eyes). Every panel is either an aesthetically beautiful, eye-cleansing panel or a humorous, chibi-style panel. The contrast between the two styles amplifies its effects: the high-detail panels look even more detailed, and the chibi panels are even more adorable than how they already are. I would wax poetic about how the special effects and scenery blend well with other elements within each panel. It’s very obvious that a lot of work has gone into each chapter of the manhwa, and I personally look forward to the manhwa’s art the most every time a new update is released. While the manhwa’s art is really high-detailed and aesthetically pleasing, I think design-wise they seem pretty typical. For example, the main protagonist Athanasia has blonde hair and blue eyes, which is the most abundant hair-eye color combo in female Otome Isekai protagonists. The hairstyle designs are also pretty standard, nothing too crazy or innovative other than how gloriously well-detailed they are. In terms of clothing designs though, they are also quite pretty and unique, but it’s what you usually expect from Otome Isekais that are set in similar settings.

P.S.: Okay this is a little bit TMI but the greatest testament to this is how well the artist drew Athanasia’s Father, Claude. I usually find blonde-haired male characters at the bottom of my list of favorite designs, but hot damn how does one not simp for Athy’s hot daddy Claude? The artist took character designs that I usually wouldn't really like, and transform them into top rankers in my simp agenda.

Character (3/5. Unique characterization for first-timers, but pretty cliché in the genre.)
I think character design falls under the art section, so I’m not going to go deep into that. In terms of characterization, we have many of the typical cliches that one would notice after reading a couple of other Otome Isekais. If the reader is new to the genre as a whole (which is often the case), the characters may seem quite unique especially because female characters are not the typical protagonists of an isekai plot. I can’t give much away about characters without spoiling too much, but as someone who was new to the genre when I started reading it, I find each character of the manhwa lovable in its own way – having enough level of depth but also light-heartedness. After reading other Otome isekai manhwas, however, the illusion kind of breaks apart after knowing that some character motivations seem more questionable when compared to other works within the genre. However, there are character interactions that I wished the author expanded more upon or hope they will in the future (if you’ve read WMMAP, you know which ship I’m talking about)

Enjoyment (⅘. A trip to a mall. Go around the whole thing once, and then revisit the good parts. Content is content nevertheless)
WMMAP is my go-to recommendation when I want to introduce someone to the world of Otome Isekai – a small taste or a shallow pond before they get fully interested in the genre. There are better Otome isekai manhwas out there with a better plot, more unique characters, character interactions that are healthier, but I think one can only appreciate that if they have something to compare it to. That, in my opinion, is the role of WMMAP – a beginner-friendly Otome isekai that keeps its readers through the beauty of its art while introducing them to the niche genre. I often reread this series simply to find aesthetically pleasing panels or revisit scenes that I want to re-experience, but I always skipped through the draggy parts. References to WMMAP are standard and widespread among the Otome isekai world, and I would argue that WMMAP has the most abundant fan content compared to other Otome Isekai series so far, so I relish the massive amount of content in a genre that is sparse of them.

This is my first review and I will keep it brief. And sorry for my bad English.
-The story was okay at first. I know, it's pretty cliche since it's an isekai and it's about a girl who got reincarnated as a princess as we have seen in many romance mahwa nowadays. We get to see some characters and how the MC got along with each one. It's quite slow but somehow natural. And we also get some hints about what is going on underneath. The hints was dropped pretty frequently, enough to get you keep wanting to know what will happen next but not predictable. ... As the story going on and on, it gets more thrilling and when the drama reach its peak...OH BOI I was completely stunned. How can they plan it out so well, especially the villain's plan, and welp I won't spoiled. The solution was okay? I mean it feels somewhat unsatisfied? Like after so much trouble the villain has gone through to carry out such big plan and all it take to break that plan is love and magic??? So the story is 7/10 for me.
-The art: Stunning and gorgeous. Definitely a 10/10.
-The characters: They are very likable. The main characters are well developed though I find myself more interested in the side characters. They surely have their depths. I'm in love with Jennet 'cause she's such a pure girl and relatable character. She has the flaws and want to be loved just like any of us. The anti-hero is such a man of tragedy. I actually cried for him. And the main villain's reason to be a bad guy was errr... somewhat childish? The relationship between character is natural and doesn't feel forced at all. So I will give this a 8/10
-The enjoyment: I really enjoy reading this story. It maybe one of the best manhwa that I have read. It stirs up a lot of emotion inside me. The story has its own beautiful way to present the parental love, friendship, empathy, forgiveness and being true to yourself. So a 9/10.
Overall, though it has its own flaws, the manhwa is pretty enjoyable to read. Therefore, I will give this manhwa a 8/10

If you are looking for a romance story, this is not it. It is more a story of the love between parents and their children. The only good thing about this Manhwa are the drawings and the character of Ijekiel Alpheus. Everything else is a cliché of reincarnating as the villain of the story. Since the success of Otome Game no Hametsu Flag, a lot of Manhwa with that theme have appeared.

A little spoiler

History deceives you. Because it shows you how Ijekiel Alpheus was in love with Athanasia in the first timeline and is in love in this one and Athanasia in her thoughts also ... talks about how she likes Ijekiel Alpheus, but in the end she decides not to stay with any of them so as not to sadden her father. Lucas is a character with a big red flag, he is an older man than Athanasia's father, he always bothers and treats Athanasia badly, and always interrupts the romantic moments between Athanasia and Ijekiel. He is very possessive. I read rumors that in the webnovel Athanasia stays with Lucas, but I'm not sure about that, because the last novel is not translated and people on the internet have already lied about other couples in the past in other series. If there was an anime I would like to see an Athanasia x Ijekiel route. Let the anime stay with Ijekiel, in the manga there is no one left, and the webnovel stay with Lucas's old man with his horrible personality.

I have to say this Manhwa is amazing I am loving the story and the characters I shed tears for this Manhwa its beautiful amazing I love it nothing can compare on how I love this Manhwa it is my life my home my everything ❤❤❤❤ It is top 1 in my opinion I love it so so so very much pls give it a try I promise you will love it it is very cute funny and wholesome


I must recommend reading this Manhwa to people who haven't it ïs rlly good but if u dont like it thats fine since we have our ... own opinions 😊

LOVE IT

I've reread this to many times while waiting for new chapters gosh. This your typical isekai, reincarnation, historical medieval and what not story but it is written SO WELL. and the angst is just so on point. If you want a cute tear-jerking family story and romance on the side because not gonna lie, not much has happened on that note, this is probably what you want to read.

The plot and characters all have so much depth, ngl, i found Athy a but annoying at first but that's just me. I also kinda dislike Jenette even though she's innocent but her character's also written ... super well.

anyways just read it

I recently saw one of the reviews, in which the author bluntly says that “Who made me a princess” is just another overrated manhwa and in fact it is not as good as everyone of us makes it out to be. I couldn’t disagree more with this mindset. Don’t get me wrong, I do not intend to make any shameful remarks about their opinion. Because it is just that, an OPINION. Nevertheless, here I intend to prove that “Who made me a princess” is in fact one of the greatest masterpieces of our time.
Let’s first start with what make a piece of work, or rather, ... a piece of art, a masterpiece. According to Cambridge dictionary, a masterpiece is defined as “a work of art such as a painting, film, or book that is made with great skill”. In this case, as we all know that “Who made me a princess” is a manhwa, this “great skills” must be shown through art, story and characters. There for, to be awarded the title of masterpiece it has to show a combination of elegant and catchy art, perfectly written characters, and a coherent and deep story. In my opinion, this series nails them all. Why? That’s what I intend to explain here. Though I will not extend myself too much, as it could contain spoiler if I did.

First let’s take a look at the story. Yes, it is an isekai, and yes, there may be too many of them out there. But that is not what it makes it quirky in my opinion. For instance, the fact that Athanasia as a baby has a conscience and can think like a grownup (this is not a spoiler, it is shown in the first few panels of the story) is much more of a quirk than the isekai concept. So what is it that makes the story a great one? It’s not only the fact that it has a coherent and cohesive plot, or the baseline of its narrative. It is the appeal to the readers empathy. Too many stories try to make you feel empathy for their characters with in-the-face strategies. But Plutus makes something that even the great writers of our generation struggle with: to subtly touch the right strings of emotion. And I refer to it as subtle because when you first start reading it, you think it’s your average heartwarming comedic story. But as you get more and more into its depths, you discover that it has more to it than just trivial troubles. Even if it tackles themes that may be found in other literary works, it does it with such elegance and uniqueness that it makes it a candy for the mind. And so, you find yourself enveloped by the world and its people, wanting to uncover the secrets that it hides and solve problems that cling in the air for the longest of times.

This takes us to the characters. Even if the story is great, with a coherent plot and unique narrative points, it all goes to waste if the characters are not good enough for it. This is a problem that Plutus knew well. And as such, he counters it with perfectly written characters. Why is it that his tactic of appealing to one’s emotions works so well? Because they made characters with a solid personality that are believable, relatable and lovable. Critics know that when an author works their way into a reader’s heart to make them feel what the characters are feeling, it is a great writer that created great characters. “Who made me a princess” has that exactly. Through out the story, you can feel the joy, the love, the despair and even the loneliness of the characters even when you don’t know them so well.

In the same manner, the characters are not just composed of one layer. Most of them are like onions: they have layers of complexity and depth. As the story goes by, you start learning more about their past, their personalities and even their future. You can witness their growth and their change to finally understand their complexity. Their interactions with other just makes them even more believable. Because, in the long run, they are more human than we can imagine a mere character to be.

Last, but not least, is the art. To make it simple, it is just a candy to the eye. I think that was the first thing that caught my interest. It’s polished and neat, with flashy colors and big blue eyes. Despite the enormous bright eyes (that somewhat remind me of original Sailor Moon anime), it actually heavily complements the story and the characters. The art it’s not only there to be pretty and catch the eyes, but actually to leave traces of foreshadowing and give a deeper meaning to the story.

I love this series, as you maybe have notice by now. I feel a heavy connection to it, and it has made me feel as no other series has ever done. I must admit that half of it made me suffer and cry and hope. It has also made me laugh and it has helped me understand too many things about us humans that I have never discover in someplace else. I just hope, to end this long review, that I have at least make you consider the fact that this “overrated series” is one of the best that you will ever read.

WMMAP is a wonderful webtoon novel that has greatly impacted my journey with reading manhwa & Korean novels.

I will start off with the STORY: For me, it's quite easy to follow if you pay attention and leaves quite some room for reader interpretation. The story starts off with heart-wrenching writing, really connecting me with what I was reading. It has decent pacing and very unique traits that I hadn't seen in another.
10/10

ART: The art is phenomenal. It's memorable and captures the essence of the fantasy world gracefully. The artist has done a wonderful job also, with using their skill to draw out emotion.
10/10

CHARACTERS: ... Our main character Athy, without spoilers, is a girl too who a female reader more-so can relate to. I think many people, may find her a bit annoying but realistically she's been through more than I'd ever imagine. She has decent development. With other characters, I won't comment, for the sake of wanting YOU to learn about them. I think though there's a lot of room for opinion, and most have changed throughout the story.
9/10

ENJOYMENT: Okay, I think because I've had to wait in between the schedules my experience has been different from others. For that, I'm giving it an 8/10. On its own, I love it, but there are some areas that I'm not fully interested in.
8/10

OVERALL: You should give it a try. Whether you like it or not, I would love to chat about it, and if anyone would like to message me on here or friend me I'd love to! Anyways, with that said I'd give it a 9/10. Which could change;...

“Who Made Me a Princess” is a present day, shoujo magnum opus. Having just completed my 3rd complete read of available chapters I was really paying attention to why this work always left such a good impression on me. A standard that others within this sub-genre should aim toward. The quality of the aesthetics of “Who Made…” are self-evident, whether that be attractive characters, gorgeous backgrounds and panelling and a cute reverence for (at times) silly, yet fashionable clothing. However, I also believe that not only presentation, but plot and general character of the story is elevated here. The cast of relevant characters is kept ... rather small which seems to have given the plot ample time to flesh out and contextualise each individual persona. Not to diminish just how wonderful each miniature interaction in this story is. The bouncing tonal shifts in combination with the presentation just makes each scene pop in a way that the average manhwa in this sub-genre just doesn’t. It’s hard not to have a personal stake in the story from the very beginning because of this. You are sold from the first moments. The momentum takes you in it’s steely jaws and just carries you forward. There is no dilly dallying for pointless side character, or extemporaneous fan service. It’s all just baked into the core of the story.

It’s all just dripping in high romance, as any fairytale should be! Not that this necessarily means it is without potential areas of irritation depending on taste. Magic has this ephemeral, nonsense quality to it. Lucas is very much the fairy god mother, who is plot designated as a possible auto-resolve button. A cynical (occasionally cunty) super-genius who always has the “logical” take and a suggestion that a flick of his wrist could solve all their problems (within some very loosely defined parameters). However, this is veto’d by the very story he exists within. Magic would be far too convenient a solution for us! Drama is what we serve. It wouldn’t be true to the emotional journey of either Athy, or even Lucus himself if it was all that easy.

Not to suggest I don’t have any reservations with “Who Made…”, which I think gets a bit slovenly around the transition from first to second season. Amnesia is really not a solution I am entirely fond of for mixing things up. The story definitely makes the most of the scenarios that this offers up though, and having past that point quite a number of chapters ago now, I feel I can forgive the designer and appreciate what they have done with the place. Seeing the transitions from anhedonic stupor to blood thirsty beasts again for Claude is also entertaining.

I would also be amiss to note that I don’t think I have seen a story (in this very specific sub-genre) give so much credence to it’s foundational premises. It has become increasingly common, with the supersaturation of these genre tropes, to simply discard the “I’m a 20-something nobody from IRL who has been reincarnated as a princess from a book, wowzers xD” and get on with the good stuff. But “Who Made…” makes a concerted effort to continue to incorporate the MCs past life into how she evaluates her relationships in her new life. Lucas is also in on the situation from the beginning, adding this extra layer of comedy to their relationship. There is even an increasingly obvious hint that there may be more going on behind the background. That the original “novel” wasn’t necessarily what it seemed.

So I am highly impressed and think “Who Made Me a Princess” takes it’s side next to “Stepmothers Marchen” as the current standouts from this sub-genre (that I am aware of). This definitely reads more typical shoujo than “Stepmothers…” though, with it’s adolescent relationships and whimsical flare. I look forward to seeing how the story ends.

It’s a solid story about a girl and her father with a romance subplot. I started this series about a year ago and I don’t regret it in the slightest. The romance isn’t really focused on but it makes sense if it was I’d feel too forced. WMMAP seems like a really fluffy cutesy story with all the princess stuff but it’s pretty sad it deals with some themes of grief and forgiveness.The characters actions all make sense (I have a problem with unwarranted actions in fiction.) The characters are all likeable the pacing is good the only minor downside is the world building but ... this story is more focused on character building anyway so you don’t notice it too much. The beginning of the story makes it seem like Claude (the dad) is a big asshole but I swear he isn’t sorta I know alot of people get turned off (that’s not the right way to word that but that’s all I could come up with) from the story because of him like “awe man it’s another one of those stories where the asshole gets completely replaced by a completely different character” please trust this tiny person on your screen. Anyway 10/10 I’ve reread this series too many times to count I really recommend it. ^^

Hmmmmm, I have a love hate relationship with this one. This plot line has become increasingly, increasingly more popular and very common. This one though has particularly beautiful art, good characters, a what seemed to be very good story progression/development. The beginning is strong, I think.. the first 50 chapters? Super good, was one of my favorites. But, it does start to feel extremely slow paced and just... like the story is losing its momentum. I'm still reading as the chapters come out, but for the past twenty-ish, I haven't been too amazed. I definitely recommend, because as I said the beginning is so strong ... and so good.
