Light Novel Review: The Reincarnated Princess Spends Another Day Skipping Story Routes Vol. 2

The Reincarnated Princess Spends Another Day Skipping Story Routes: Volume 2 by Bisu Art by: Yukiko Translated by: Tom Harris

After being reincarnated as the otome game villainess, all that Lady Rosemary wants is to spend her life in peace but still with her conscience intact. She basically has to do the following in order to achieve that: 1. prevent a war 2. stop the spread of the disease and 3. obstruct Demon Lord's revival. Disclaimer: A review copy was provided by the publisher. Check out the first volume review here.

First order of business: the reverse harem factor. A major character makes an appearance and it's not clear yet if he will join the enamored guys but it's not far-fetched. Based on the volume 3 summary, we'll see the remaining three characters in the next volume and I can't wait. It's cute when the reverse harem squabble over her with their murderous verbal exchanges. But it's obvious by this book of who'll be the one (See Stages of Reverse Harem), with the 'screentime' and progress. But man oh man the secondhand embarrassment is strong. Not feeling it yet because of the age gap but I so so so want her to grow up and THAT will be a different story.

I also didn't enjoy it as much as I should have because I was getting impatient and wanted to do a time skip where Rosemary is older. My advice is to slow it down and enjoy the ride. A year has passed since the last events in the first volume and she's now turning 11. For reference, George is 13, Teo is 14 and maybe Lutz as well, Klaus may be in his early twenties and Julius and Leon are in their late twenties. In the game proper, she'll be 15 or 16.

The conflicts are still unraveling but the strategic/tactical element is now clearer compared to the first volume. It started with the isekai template but I am enjoying how the story is taking off in unexpected directions that I am used to. The characters, plot devices used in the story, the foreshadowing, and the translation are all written well. The author continues with the last lingering line or tone or facial expression that leaves an impact and that paints a thousand words. And as well as always tiptoeing on thin lines but never really crossing it.

One of the things that I continue to enjoy is the heroine's internal monologues most especially towards Klaus. And the more she gets unkind to him, the more Klaus gets a kick out of it. It's funny when she gets angry and hurl profanities in her head towards him and another new character. This new character is not part of the reverse harem but has a crucial role to play. It's safe to say I prefer it when she gets angry with them over her lovesick thoughts towards Leon.

When I started reading reverse harem western fiction I got so addicted to The Ghost Bird Series and later on with The Veil Diaries series. And when I finally dipped into Japanese reverse harem light novels it was a bit of a big transition but eventually, I got the hang of it. But now I can finally say that I found the light novel that can be at par with the exhilaration that I get from the first two series. And what do you know it just dawned on me that The Reincarnated Princess is a slow burn as well. For someone who's doesn't want stories that drag on my favorite novels are slow burn. What can I say I can magically gain patience and stay around if the stories are compelling and the characters are all fleshed out like the case of these three. I do not recommend skipping on this light novel. You won't regret it. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

All-Time Top Ten Reverse Harem Anime

Hello Wallflowers! I am not going to do a decade in review since I did that already a couple of years ago. but I am loooong overdue for my top 10 anime. I actually made one coincidentally a decade ago but it's a consolidated top 10 of everything from anime, manga and dramas as the titles are fewer back in 2010. I should have done it sooner but it's the nagging feeling that I should finish everything before I can post this. What if there's a hidden gem in my backlog that piled up beginning 2015 (due to pregnancy)? Fast forward to last year and major life events later, I have finished nine anime in eight months. It felt like forever. And after that, I found out I could actually start the list even without watching the backlog. LOL But the good thing is I was able to finish it and that has put off a lot of guilt feelings from me. I mean who blogs about reverse harem and never watches past the first episode??? Sadly, I don't remember most of the story of the anime...

English Otome Mobile Apps

English otome apps are now available in smartphones! The art and the bishies are eye candy and the premises are engaging. These are all paid apps but they all come with free prologues to tempt your wallets. Finally, English games that are accessible! I wish I can just pay it in my local currency rather than credit card. "Pirates in Love" is the first title of Voltage Romance Sims. It's available both in itunes and play. You'll have to pay for each characters and epilogues. I really want to play Eduardo! "My Forged Wedding" is also from Voltage and are also available in itunes and play . The prologue doesn't give away the details as to why exactly they need to fake the wedding but check out the video above to have an idea why. I'm gravitating to Saeki (the ladies man) and Yamato (the rude guy). Also, the "uncle" seems to be play-able character in the future. Interesting. ...

Light Novel Review: I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death!

I Reincarnated as Evil Alice so the Only Thing I'm Courting is Death~( Akuyaku Alice ni Tensei Shita node, Koi mo Shigoto mo Houki Shimasu!) Written by Chii Kurusu Art by: Minato Yaguchi Translated by: Emma Schumacker While carrying out her secret executioner duties Alice bumps her head and realized she is reincarnated into her favorite otome game which won the Deadliest Game of the Year award. Together with the bad boy butler, Jack; sinful man, Leeds; the Tweedle twins and walking death flag, Earl Knightley. Disclaimer: A digital review copy of this book was provided by the publisher. She knows the ins and outs of the story but the routes are not moving forward just like it goes in the game. I felt lost at first too with the story and was wandering aimlessly with Alice. And when she decided her purpose, I was not convinced. It is fast-paced it's just that the premise was different in how the story played out. But those who are patient are rewar...

Manga Review: I was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 4

I was Reincarnated as the Villainess in an Otome Game but the Boys Love Me Anyway! Vol. 4 Manga by: Ataka Light novel: by Sou Inaida Art by: Hachipsu Wen Mystia attends the sports festival with plans of triggering romance routes for Raid and Alice. Then Helen from Raid's childhood makes an appearance. Check out Volumes 1 to 3 reviews . Disclaimers: A review copy was provided by the publisher and spoilers ahead. The series is a mixed harem or everyone is in love with her or doting on her on a bit obsessive side. The four capture targets are not on full throttle yet. In the earlier volumes, we see glimpses of the household staff having their own agenda all for Mystia. And despite a mysterious force sabotaging her and NPCs who are jealous of her, everyone is interested or kind to her. The girls are not left unscathed. There's the heroine of the game, Alice. Feena seems to be acting like a very abnormal capture target too. And I'm pretty sure she will be friends with the new r...
