I'd love to see your opinion on Who Made me a Princess

As a whole?

Hm. Okay.

Before I get into the actual plot and characters I just want to say: I love that art. It's so gorgeous that even if the series was absolute garbage (which it isn't, just flawed) I'd still keep reading just for the eye candy.

I think I'm going to try a character by character format. So let's start with Athy.

Athy! Honestly, I love her. There's a trend among FLs to just be perfect and haven't flaws and never make mistakes in any scenario. Athy defies this head on. She does the wrong thing sometimes. She slips up, she gets anxious, she loses things but she's still clearly a strong main character. Spoon did a great job with that.

My main complaint though, is why the second life? All her Korean life does is make her weirdly older than her love intrests. She could have reincarnated straight from old Athy and the story would've been exactly the same. If the survival instincts from the begining were important to you than have her live that life but die as a child. Then she's not an adult in a child's body who's attracted to children. Much less uncomfortable. She can still be mature but she doesn't have to be a full grown adult.

I don't have a fully formed opinion on Claude. I'm far from being a Claude simp but I don't hate him either. It's hard to actually sympathize with him. Especially because of the amnesia arc. Watching him immediately go back to killing Athy mode was just depressing. Even with everyone around him telling him not to, his first instinct was to kill the child. Also, tbh he's not nearly as hot as fans make him out to be. I don't feel like I've seen anything as of yet to make me think "wow I was wrong about Claude! He was a good person this whole time!". Just "I guess he won't kill his daughter now".

I really don't get where all the Jennette hard comes from. It's not as if there's a rule somewhere that only one of them can be happy. She just wants to feel loved and hasn't actually done a single harmful thing to get it. When she was first introduced I thought she'd just be a stock saintess character but Jennette proved me wrong. She has flaws and wants that are prevalent in who she is as a character and what she does in the story. Also, I love her design. She's just so pretty!

I'm going to be frank with this one. I don't like Lucas. He barely does anything in the plot, he's another jerk of a male lead, and he doesn't really have any reedeming qualities. Liking Athy doesn't make him likeable. It feels like he's just there to be the angsty wizard ML and nothing more.

Ijekial's great but I wish he was more relevant to the plot. All he does is sit there so Jennette can be sad about him and there can some sort of love triangle. I'd love for him to be more proactive. He doesn't really participate in or appear in the story very much.

With that said about all the characters I'm just going to throw some last thoughts into the wind.

Jennette was the only good part of the amnesia arc besides that one Athy meeting with the nobles scene.

I hope Athy just stays single. I don't see her with either ML but I know it'll be Lucas.

Lily and Felix are the best couple in the Manwha.

I don't like that Athy comepleltly switched out the personality she had in the first few chapters.

Someone really needs to give Jennette a hug and it's going to have to be Athy.

The pacing feels really slow. Not a lot actually happens considering the length.

I want a spin-off about Diana.

Claude never actually stopped being a terrible father, he just started giving Athy presents. Felix and Lily are pretty obviously the people who raised her and Felix should've gotten that first dance.

Also, I'm reading on Bato which I think is bit behind so no spoilers please!
