Real Honest Romance Fantasy Reviews

being a big fan of a genre that is mostly wish fulfillment is suffering when u are a Story Enjoyer like myself. however i am also a big fan of being a hater. this is my Real Honest Otome Isekai (and other romance fantasy genres) Diary.

things i consider:
 is there an underlying theme to the work?
 do the characters undergo change?
 is the male lead simply an accessory purse chihuahua to the female lead?
 is the translation good? is the artstyle nice?
 etc etc

Complete
Author(s): yamazaki hibiki,miya taira
Genre(s): Seinen / Comedy / Fantasy

1/5

pros/
+ i prefer japanese manga so i guess that’s a pro
+ main chara is genuinely unhinged and intelligent

cons/
+ has a weird ecchi vibe?????? like they talk about the bodies of the villainess vs heroine at length and its like woahhh
+ plot has no stakes; it’s a revenge fulfillment fantasy through and through. it doesn’t feel satisfying bc the prince and co are idiots in the first place

1/5

pros/
+ pretty artwork
+ male lead is pretty funny and feels like he has actual goals and thoughts
+ interesting worldbuilding

cons/
+ main chara is SO WEIRD LOLLLL like what do you mean you stanned a certain character for three years only to turn into his mother after u transmigrated!!!
+ made me so uncomfortable when she was like “wow i have the chance to love him as a son…” when she’s admitted to having a crush on his character before like… it’s a really weird story choice lol

The Earl's Daughter was Suddenly Employed as the Crown Prince's Fiancée

 9.1(615 voted)
Ongoing
Author(s): kazuki ko,midori iroiro
Genre(s): Shoujo / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy / Romance

1/5

pros/
+ interesting premise of a prince who cannot be touched by women except for the mc

cons/
+ almost had some interesting things to say about gender (ie, mc being like “omg he doesnt see me as a woman” and ml being like “i see you as a person”) but kinda loops back into being weirdly sexist LOL
+ while mc is struggling with her ~womanhood~ the ml is struggling with traumatic sexual assault? the chara arcs feel trivialized bc both are treated w the same gravity

Ongoing
Author(s): Touya
Genre(s): Shoujo / Comedy / Fantasy / Romance

2/5

pros/
+ beautiful artwork and pretty characters
+ has a mysterious plot centered on the main chara; the current charm arc was interestingly paced

cons/
+ some weird vibes from the older brother lmao?
+ sometimes feels like being an oi is a gimmick bc honestly it could have simply just been a romance fantasy and not much would change. like the main focus is so far away from the transmigration aspect its crazy
