Not an Isekai story, surprising after reading that title. (I need to mention that there's been no new volume for a long time now) And this story lacks a "shoujo" tag, but it is following the mainstream style of shoujo stories, just know this before you start reading.

Story: In the beginning this was an amazing novel series. A princess ran away from home to become a knight. Then the typical "shoujo" plot-twist came and made it obvious it will be much drama later on. Since the main character is a princess, there's a lot going on, and even though she ran away she never stopped ... being a princess. So yeah, prepare for drama. It's sad, because the beginning was truly amazing.

Characters: The Main Character is an interesting girl. She's not gonna let herself get beaten by others, and will fight for her freedom. Along with her work friends, it's nice mix of characters that makes this story easy to follow. Though it has the typical jerk characters that you see in shoujo stories.

Enjoyment: So, why didn't I enjoy it? I don't like the dramatic "twists" in how it reminds me of shoujo stories. Why do I keep mentioning shoujo? It's just how the story resembles shoujo manga with some story events and characters. If they only toned down the drama and focused on the protagonist being a knight-in-training it would be a lot better.

+ Interesting story about a girl trying to be a knight (while cross dressing)
+ Most characters are well written, both adults and kids
- Exaggerated drama.

In a time when most light novels are isekai/reincarnation/transmigration stories with OP protagonists, this is a breath of fresh air.

Story: It's a lighthearted comedy of a girl disguising herself as a boy and becoming a knight. While there are the typical schemes and plot events which can only happen in fiction, it is not weighed down by romantic drivel and cringy angst plots. There is plenty of dramatic irony and funny hijinks.

Characters: The main character, Fie, has a refreshingly optimistic outlook. Actually, the characters in general are extremely likable. There is no specific ML at the moment; though if I had to guess, ... it would be her fellow knight (rather than the King). The King, who one would think they would hate, isn't too bad. He hasn't really done anything to the MC, rather, he is apathetic toward her. Fie's sister, Fielle, is a genuinely great person.

Art: There's not much, but it's great. You can see a few previews on the Amazon page for the book.

Overall: Lighthearted, an altogether fun read.
