Preliminary (72/125 chp)

This isekai/romance manhwa was adapted from light-novel.
#Story: 10/10
Like some of other isekai anime/manga/manwha, the main character, beautiful princess, can remember what was happened in previous life. It turns out she reincarnated to the princess who had miserable life in the book she was read.
Her dad, the king, is a cold-heart person that want to kill her. This story begins with the simply idea of MC who want to survive from her bloody dad. Then it turns to romance/comedy story.

But what make this manhwa interesting is 'MC can change the story'. The readers are in the same view as MC, we won't know what will happen ...

I remember I used to think this was some kind of Lolicon stuff when Instagram showed me a Tappytoon advertisement but I am seriously so happy that it turned out to be different.

Story: 9/10
The story plot isn't exactly a new one but nevertheless, I enjoy it greatly as I am a fan of Isekai plots. Furthermore, you never know what happens and the interplay of the different characters adds more to the suspense.
Moreover, I also like the fact that romance is not in the spotlight of this story.

"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 ...

I was one of the people pointing fingers and mocking these LN adaptations about boys getting kicked into fantasy settings filled with gorgeous women wanting to get a piece of them.

What a fool.

"Who made me a princess" begins in the cutest way imaginable: a woman gets reincarnated as a baby princess that is destined to die throughout a classic fantasy story. Baby is determined for that not to happen, and decides to be the most adorable creature imaginable to avoid that fate.

Who Made Me A Princess, a shoujo isekai in which the character dies and somehow gets transported in another world she knows. When she was transferred, she became Athanasia de Alger Obelia. The most miserable character in “Lovely Princess”. Her goal is to survive and avoid execution caused by her father, Claude.

The story is not the most original, but you don’t need to be original to make something good. The story in my opinion has the best pacing I could possibly crave for. Its good enough for character development and the continuing of the plot. I really can’t say much about this part to avoid ...

As I immerse myself in the pages of this captivating manhwa, I can confidently declare that it was an incredibly worthwhile journey. Yes, it falls into the isekai genre and has hints of a love triangle, but at its core, it beautifully revolves around the heartwarming relationship between a father and his cherished daughter. To my delight, not a single chapter left me bored; I was hooked from start to finish.

The art style, oh, the art style! It's an absolute delight. Sometimes it's playful and cute, tugging at my heartstrings, while other times, it delves into intricate details that have me transfixed on the characters, ...

Story (⅗. Typical plot for a unique niche)
The story goes back and forth between what happens in Who Made A Princess (WMMAP) and Lovely Princess (the original world that the protagonist reincarnated into). This allows the readers to grasp the impact of the protagonist's actions and how it affects the future plot of the story. The story manages to subtly highlight complex themes such as the internal self and Fate vs Free Will while delivering it in a good balance between light-hearted and serious. The plot progression has some headscratchers, sometimes deus ex machina is obvious, and some parts of the world are filled with ... logical plotholes, but I think this work is a good starter for the classic family-oriented Otome Isekai – especially when the genre is very niche as of now. In my opinion, there are arcs that are either too short or too dragged out – I myself took a break from reading it because a specific arc felt too extended. As of now, the manhwa isn’t complete yet, but it seems like it will be near completion.

Art (5/5. My eyes have been blessed. The lifeblood of the manhwa)
The first thing that drew me into the manhwa was its art. I am continuously fascinated by how the artist colors and colors the sceneries and characters (especially the eyes). Every panel is either an aesthetically beautiful, eye-cleansing panel or a humorous, chibi-style panel. The contrast between the two styles amplifies its effects: the high-detail panels look even more detailed, and the chibi panels are even more adorable than how they already are. I would wax poetic about how the special effects and scenery blend well with other elements within each panel. It’s very obvious that a lot of work has gone into each chapter of the manhwa, and I personally look forward to the manhwa’s art the most every time a new update is released. While the manhwa’s art is really high-detailed and aesthetically pleasing, I think design-wise they seem pretty typical. For example, the main protagonist Athanasia has blonde hair and blue eyes, which is the most abundant hair-eye color combo in female Otome Isekai protagonists. The hairstyle designs are also pretty standard, nothing too crazy or innovative other than how gloriously well-detailed they are. In terms of clothing designs though, they are also quite pretty and unique, but it’s what you usually expect from Otome Isekais that are set in similar settings.

P.S.: Okay this is a little bit TMI but the greatest testament to this is how well the artist drew Athanasia’s Father, Claude. I usually find blonde-haired male characters at the bottom of my list of favorite designs, but hot damn how does one not simp for Athy’s hot daddy Claude? The artist took character designs that I usually wouldn't really like, and transform them into top rankers in my simp agenda.

Character (3/5. Unique characterization for first-timers, but pretty cliché in the genre.)
I think character design falls under the art section, so I’m not going to go deep into that. In terms of characterization, we have many of the typical cliches that one would notice after reading a couple of other Otome Isekais. If the reader is new to the genre as a whole (which is often the case), the characters may seem quite unique especially because female characters are not the typical protagonists of an isekai plot. I can’t give much away about characters without spoiling too much, but as someone who was new to the genre when I started reading it, I find each character of the manhwa lovable in its own way – having enough level of depth but also light-heartedness. After reading other Otome isekai manhwas, however, the illusion kind of breaks apart after knowing that some character motivations seem more questionable when compared to other works within the genre. However, there are character interactions that I wished the author expanded more upon or hope they will in the future (if you’ve read WMMAP, you know which ship I’m talking about)

Enjoyment (⅘. A trip to a mall. Go around the whole thing once, and then revisit the good parts. Content is content nevertheless)
WMMAP is my go-to recommendation when I want to introduce someone to the world of Otome Isekai – a small taste or a shallow pond before they get fully interested in the genre. There are better Otome isekai manhwas out there with a better plot, more unique characters, character interactions that are healthier, but I think one can only appreciate that if they have something to compare it to. That, in my opinion, is the role of WMMAP – a beginner-friendly Otome isekai that keeps its readers through the beauty of its art while introducing them to the niche genre. I often reread this series simply to find aesthetically pleasing panels or revisit scenes that I want to re-experience, but I always skipped through the draggy parts. References to WMMAP are standard and widespread among the Otome isekai world, and I would argue that WMMAP has the most abundant fan content compared to other Otome Isekai series so far, so I relish the massive amount of content in a genre that is sparse of them.

This is my first review and I will keep it brief. And sorry for my bad English.
-The story was okay at first. I know, it's pretty cliche since it's an isekai and it's about a girl who got reincarnated as a princess as we have seen in many romance mahwa nowadays. We get to see some characters and how the MC got along with each one. It's quite slow but somehow natural. And we also get some hints about what is going on underneath. The hints was dropped pretty frequently, enough to get you keep wanting to know what will happen next but not predictable. ...

I recently saw one of the reviews, in which the author bluntly says that “Who made me a princess” is just another overrated manhwa and in fact it is not as good as everyone of us makes it out to be. I couldn’t disagree more with this mindset. Don’t get me wrong, I do not intend to make any shameful remarks about their opinion. Because it is just that, an OPINION. Nevertheless, here I intend to prove that “Who made me a princess” is in fact one of the greatest masterpieces of our time.
Let’s first start with what make a piece of work, or rather, ... a piece of art, a masterpiece. According to Cambridge dictionary, a masterpiece is defined as “a work of art such as a painting, film, or book that is made with great skill”. In this case, as we all know that “Who made me a princess” is a manhwa, this “great skills” must be shown through art, story and characters. There for, to be awarded the title of masterpiece it has to show a combination of elegant and catchy art, perfectly written characters, and a coherent and deep story. In my opinion, this series nails them all. Why? That’s what I intend to explain here. Though I will not extend myself too much, as it could contain spoiler if I did.

First let’s take a look at the story. Yes, it is an isekai, and yes, there may be too many of them out there. But that is not what it makes it quirky in my opinion. For instance, the fact that Athanasia as a baby has a conscience and can think like a grownup (this is not a spoiler, it is shown in the first few panels of the story) is much more of a quirk than the isekai concept. So what is it that makes the story a great one? It’s not only the fact that it has a coherent and cohesive plot, or the baseline of its narrative. It is the appeal to the readers empathy. Too many stories try to make you feel empathy for their characters with in-the-face strategies. But Plutus makes something that even the great writers of our generation struggle with: to subtly touch the right strings of emotion. And I refer to it as subtle because when you first start reading it, you think it’s your average heartwarming comedic story. But as you get more and more into its depths, you discover that it has more to it than just trivial troubles. Even if it tackles themes that may be found in other literary works, it does it with such elegance and uniqueness that it makes it a candy for the mind. And so, you find yourself enveloped by the world and its people, wanting to uncover the secrets that it hides and solve problems that cling in the air for the longest of times.

This takes us to the characters. Even if the story is great, with a coherent plot and unique narrative points, it all goes to waste if the characters are not good enough for it. This is a problem that Plutus knew well. And as such, he counters it with perfectly written characters. Why is it that his tactic of appealing to one’s emotions works so well? Because they made characters with a solid personality that are believable, relatable and lovable. Critics know that when an author works their way into a reader’s heart to make them feel what the characters are feeling, it is a great writer that created great characters. “Who made me a princess” has that exactly. Through out the story, you can feel the joy, the love, the despair and even the loneliness of the characters even when you don’t know them so well.

In the same manner, the characters are not just composed of one layer. Most of them are like onions: they have layers of complexity and depth. As the story goes by, you start learning more about their past, their personalities and even their future. You can witness their growth and their change to finally understand their complexity. Their interactions with other just makes them even more believable. Because, in the long run, they are more human than we can imagine a mere character to be.

Last, but not least, is the art. To make it simple, it is just a candy to the eye. I think that was the first thing that caught my interest. It’s polished and neat, with flashy colors and big blue eyes. Despite the enormous bright eyes (that somewhat remind me of original Sailor Moon anime), it actually heavily complements the story and the characters. The art it’s not only there to be pretty and catch the eyes, but actually to leave traces of foreshadowing and give a deeper meaning to the story.

I love this series, as you maybe have notice by now. I feel a heavy connection to it, and it has made me feel as no other series has ever done. I must admit that half of it made me suffer and cry and hope. It has also made me laugh and it has helped me understand too many things about us humans that I have never discover in someplace else. I just hope, to end this long review, that I have at least make you consider the fact that this “overrated series” is one of the best that you will ever read.

“Who Made Me a Princess” is a present day, shoujo magnum opus. Having just completed my 3rd complete read of available chapters I was really paying attention to why this work always left such a good impression on me. A standard that others within this sub-genre should aim toward. The quality of the aesthetics of “Who Made…” are self-evident, whether that be attractive characters, gorgeous backgrounds and panelling and a cute reverence for (at times) silly, yet fashionable clothing. However, I also believe that not only presentation, but plot and general character of the story is elevated here. The cast of relevant characters is kept ... rather small which seems to have given the plot ample time to flesh out and contextualise each individual persona. Not to diminish just how wonderful each miniature interaction in this story is. The bouncing tonal shifts in combination with the presentation just makes each scene pop in a way that the average manhwa in this sub-genre just doesn’t. It’s hard not to have a personal stake in the story from the very beginning because of this. You are sold from the first moments. The momentum takes you in it’s steely jaws and just carries you forward. There is no dilly dallying for pointless side character, or extemporaneous fan service. It’s all just baked into the core of the story.

It’s all just dripping in high romance, as any fairytale should be! Not that this necessarily means it is without potential areas of irritation depending on taste. Magic has this ephemeral, nonsense quality to it. Lucas is very much the fairy god mother, who is plot designated as a possible auto-resolve button. A cynical (occasionally cunty) super-genius who always has the “logical” take and a suggestion that a flick of his wrist could solve all their problems (within some very loosely defined parameters). However, this is veto’d by the very story he exists within. Magic would be far too convenient a solution for us! Drama is what we serve. It wouldn’t be true to the emotional journey of either Athy, or even Lucus himself if it was all that easy.

Not to suggest I don’t have any reservations with “Who Made…”, which I think gets a bit slovenly around the transition from first to second season. Amnesia is really not a solution I am entirely fond of for mixing things up. The story definitely makes the most of the scenarios that this offers up though, and having past that point quite a number of chapters ago now, I feel I can forgive the designer and appreciate what they have done with the place. Seeing the transitions from anhedonic stupor to blood thirsty beasts again for Claude is also entertaining.

I would also be amiss to note that I don’t think I have seen a story (in this very specific sub-genre) give so much credence to it’s foundational premises. It has become increasingly common, with the supersaturation of these genre tropes, to simply discard the “I’m a 20-something nobody from IRL who has been reincarnated as a princess from a book, wowzers xD” and get on with the good stuff. But “Who Made…” makes a concerted effort to continue to incorporate the MCs past life into how she evaluates her relationships in her new life. Lucas is also in on the situation from the beginning, adding this extra layer of comedy to their relationship. There is even an increasingly obvious hint that there may be more going on behind the background. That the original “novel” wasn’t necessarily what it seemed.

So I am highly impressed and think “Who Made Me a Princess” takes it’s side next to “Stepmothers Marchen” as the current standouts from this sub-genre (that I am aware of). This definitely reads more typical shoujo than “Stepmothers…” though, with it’s adolescent relationships and whimsical flare. I look forward to seeing how the story ends.

(This is my 3rd isekai/magic-sprinkled monarchy manga that I have read in a row. Overall, I tend to enjoy isekai settings, so I am biased for sure.)

I thought it would be very light, but I was surprised to find out that it had a bit more depth to it. As usual, it will have its very pretty scenes with the bright lights and the aesthetic-looking flowers.

I am glad that they didn't stretch out the story tbh - otherwise it would have been annoying. Personally, I just tend to look for material that has good world-building whether it be through text or art so maybe ...

WMMAP is a wonderful webtoon novel that has greatly impacted my journey with reading manhwa & Korean novels.

I will start off with the STORY: For me, it's quite easy to follow if you pay attention and leaves quite some room for reader interpretation. The story starts off with heart-wrenching writing, really connecting me with what I was reading. It has decent pacing and very unique traits that I hadn't seen in another.
