5.7/10


This is one of the most “mid” mangas you could think of. Is it readable? Yes. Is it anything unique and interesting? If you’ve never read manga before, then maybe.

At first glance, the story seems rather unique, but it quickly succumbs to EVERY CLICHE EVER, making the story feel so hollow and uninteresting.

The plot is as stereotypical as it comes with a “secretly op mc” and “damsel in distress who is getting terrorized by her fiancée,” and the characters are so plain and boring. It also doesn’t help that the art is rather mediocre to sloppy at times, making there an even less of ... an incentive to read this.

This doesn’t do many major “wrongs,” but it’s just plain boring due to how cliche and standard the story is.

The premise is light, with the bad guy in the shadows( our main character) is an actually op hero/ 3rd prince that no one likes just because of his hair and his power/magic is the same as some evil person in the past.
The plot starts with prince accusing the girl is suppose to marriage of being evil and bullying a commoner girl who is deeply in love. Right, a pretty common plot this days, but then the main character enters and the story changes completely, where the only thing preserve from the begging are the consequences of the accusation.
Overall, so far ... is enjoyable.
Some what historically realistic( political marriages).
Storytelling relies on image over text.
The style as some new elements in the gender.
Fast reading.
I would advise to read the first 3 chapters before deciding if you are going to drop.
For the fans of: EIS, The Demon King of the Frontier Life, Do-over Damsel, Akuyaku Onzoushi no, Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World.
