The story is about a girl who, in order to prove that she doesn´t need anyone´s protection and help, makes her game character male and the result is that the character´s looks are just stunning (which, of course, makes it even harder for her). And that´s where the fun part begins.
The story part of this series is very well done. The setting is quite unique and yes, it is funny as hell. There is everything to be wanted from a sci-fi/fantasy/game novel - very well done action scenes, good sense of humour, romance and great interaction between characters
Characters themselves are well done too. The story is mostly from the view of the main hero/ine and that makes it possible for us to read her mind. Literally. But not only her, the other characters won´t bore you either, I can assure you. The hidden GM/thief, the professor/bard, the beastman priest, etc.. You will come to like nearly every character in the books, if not all of them.
The series is well written, but don´t look for metaphorical and melodramatical descriptions and long monologues about every single thing here, there are none of these. This series of books simply starts off and takes you on a ride. Sometimes it is too technical - stats, but that´s about it. And you will eventually find yourself waiting for the stats to raise too.
Overall, I would give this series 10/10 points, it deserves them. read more

The Storyline for 1/2 Prince is unlike anything I have read before, the art is so so, but is okay when they show a 'bishie' drawing. The characters are original and make a strong impression. I enjoyed reading this as it had many jokes, serious and funny moments. The overall I would rate it would be 9

Both the Legend of the Sun Knight and 1/2 Prince are written by the same author, Yu Wo. Plus, both are funny and have gags that will truly make you laugh.
Though, that is the only similarity, the comedy factor.
Plot wise, they are very much different for 1/2 Prince involves Virtual Gaming (where we can encounter the same terms in LSK like mages, warriors, elves, among others.)

Similar humor and style. A little more serious.
