"Who Made Me A Princess" is an engaging and captivating manga that combines elements of fantasy, romance, and drama. The story revolves around Athanasia, a young girl who is reincarnated as the princess of a magical kingdom. However, she soon discovers that her life is in danger due to a curse placed upon her by her own father, the king.

One of the strongest aspects of this manga is its well-developed characters. Athanasia, the protagonist, is a likable and relatable character who undergoes significant growth throughout the story. Her determination to change her fate and protect herself from harm is inspiring. The supporting characters, including the ... charming prince, Lucas, and the loyal knight, Claude, add depth and complexity to the narrative.

The artwork in "Who Made Me A Princess" is beautifully done, with detailed illustrations and expressive character designs.

The plot of the manga is intriguing, filled with suspense, political intrigue, and unexpected twists. It successfully blends light-hearted and comedic moments with more intense and dramatic scenes. The pacing is well-balanced, keeping the reader hooked and eager to know what happens next.

Another notable aspect is the romantic subplot, which adds an extra layer of sweetness to the story. The growing relationship between Athanasia and Lucas is portrayed with care and tenderness, making it enjoyable to follow their interactions.

However, one potential drawback is that the story occasionally rushes through certain plot points, leading to missed opportunities for deeper exploration or character development. Some readers may also find the plot predictable at times, especially if they are familiar with common tropes in the fantasy genre.

Overall, "Who Made Me A Princess" is a delightful manga that will appeal to fans of fantasy and romance. It offers a well-crafted story, compelling characters, and beautiful artwork that will keep readers eagerly turning the pages.

Cheers,

Final arc in this adaption was awful and, per those who read the novel, was a mere portion of the latter-part of the story. So everything else that was interesting or important to the worldbuilding was ignored. For a far too prolonged mini-arc. And, then it ends.

However, even with the knowledge some of the novel was copied from another person's similar story, the writing itself was good. It's one reason it managed to get more people interested in this particular genre and tropes, with a lot of help from the amazing art. So even if you're particular with how adaptions end, it's not as ... bad as already complained. That said, it's more annoying how too many will reference this series as *the* representative for this genre and will instinctively compare newer, at times better, series to it.

The story revolves around our FL who isekai'd into a novel she read. With her memories of that life, she doesn't expect much from her father nor forms an attachment to the palace that merely fed and housed her. So she planned to leave even before she could crawl and slowly built herself strong enough to do so. Both physically and through people connections.

But as fate would have it, she wound-up meeting her father and subsequently living a pretty good life. Aside from the looming sense of doom that she'll be killed and her love forever unrequited. So the original timeline was plenty altered by the time the story was set to begin. And then came the expected drama.

Overall, until the final arc, the story was well-paced and engaging. Hints were thrown about, as were red-herrings, and only those who read the novel or its summaries knew what to expect. It truly is an enjoyable read. So if the final arc was treated properly as a mini-arc, even if the adaption were to still end there, it'd be a far better story. With just as much left unsaid.

This is an issikai. If you have seen/read "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" you'll find a lot of the same traits here. The protagonist wakes up as the newly born unwanted princess and spends her younger years gaining the affection of her father, who for her first years is conflicted about protecting and loving her, and wanting to kill her. Princess' mum died essentially because of the princess, or so it's heavily implied. It was partially cutesy and partially annoying, the significant scenes were downplayed because of the protagonist basically being a grown-up, and having this "you're such an ... asshole" in those first years. The story continues when she's 14, having a debutante, and then sometime later, the amnesia trope strikes again, making her father forget all about the protagonist for the next eternity it feels like. Now, in its defense, it tries to do something properly out of it, not just an off-spin thing like most amnesia stories. On the downside it tries to make something properly out of it, not just an off-spin thing that lasts two seconds.

There's a lot of things I haven't mentioned, and I'm not sure how much further I'll read, it's becoming rather stressful to read. But suffice to say, if you've read "My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!" you'll more or less be reading the same kind of story. If you loved that one, you're likely to love this one as well. But, if you're like me, and found the entire thing rather annoying, and tropey, despite its efforts to not follow tropes, then I suggest you leave it well alone. It's very charming and cute in the beginning, but I wouldn't say it's worth it.
