Read the full take

A fan of a romance novel is reborn as a princess in its world, and she has one goal: to marry the second male lead, a former prince banished after the novel's happy ending. The premise is an enthusiastic fan's attempt to rewrite a story that did not end well for him.The strongest element is the lead's determination. Her wholehearted devotion to a character gives the romance an earnest, comic energy, and the rewrite premise lets the story play with genre expectations. The long strip format and full colour suit the romantic beats.The weakness is familiarity. Isekai romance follows many expected patterns, and the trials can drag. The supporting cast is less developed than the central pair.If you enjoy romance fantasy with a fan's enthusiasm at its heart, it is an enjoyable pick. It is sweet and sincere. Expect a determined princess, a banished prince and a plan that is more earnest than cunning.
