It is very adorable. The art style was amazing, the visuals, and the voice acting of the characters. The anime gave a very nostalgic aura. It feels like when you watch anime from the early 2000s when anime started to get more popular.

Satisfying to see Irene's true intentions revealed (although I wished she broke some bones falling from the stairs) and even more on everyone listing all the good stuff Elianna has done.
It's a very interesting twist so far, we've seen a lot of stories where a girl comes out of nowhere and seduces the prince like in the classic otome game plots but here they take another direction it's interesting!
I like how the trap scene takes a different turn than usual! xD
When did all that happened? How many chapters did they skipped/fasttracked to conclude these 2 episodes?
What the hell is wrong with the pacing of this show? At a point (say 15-20 seconds), the shows feels like a slow & relaxing romance show while at another point (same another 15-20 seconds), it feels like a bullet train has passed by.
Are they just setting premises with first two episodes or what?
Also what's with the overexposed, messed up contrast & overdone vignette that plagued the entirety of the episodes?
Everything is lining up with the readings so far. This isn't going to be my favorite title, but it's a decent watch. I like that Eilanna is a princess but she is a bookworm. That detail I find incredibly unique and helpful. Like she's Klaus from Series of Unfortunate Events kind of way.
Because in these palace romance anime, the princess is normally a former villainess or she has some magical powers she doesn't know about. But in this one, no, Elianna is a cute little cinnamon roll who reads a lot. What's not to like about her?
Irene, you could smell distasteful b**** from a mile away though, ugh.
