▶Summary and recommendation: -----------------------------------------------------------------
An otome isekai with a crossdressing romance premise. I would recommend this to fans of the Otome Isekai genre who are looking for something that feels familiar, yet fresh due to its uncommon premise.
▶Story: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not a unique story by any means, but the crossdressing romance premise of this manhwa is still uncommon enough to feel fresh to most readers. Other aspects of the manhwa such as the political subplot and world building has received less attention from the author and the manhwa frequently falls victim to common otome isekai tropes. Even
...
so, it is still quite well executed.
The story suffers a bit in the confrontations and climaxes. Which as of chapter 116 has disappointed somewhat.
▶Characters: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The protagonist is very powerful and skilled, but due to the story not focuing on combat, but rather on romance and politics, she can still have scenes where she gets to show off her skills without making her appear overpowered to the degree of the story becoming a power fantasy.
The rest of the main cast are well characterized and varied, with their emotions and motivations showcased very well. Which makes it easy to sympathize with even morally evil characters.
The protagonist who hails from our world has kept her modern sensibilities, which is somewhat unusual in isekai. It creates interesting dynamics, as they clash with the barbarism of the world she now inhabits, which includes the beliefs held by people close and dear to her.
▶Artwork: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The artwork is serviceable and never hampers the story, but it never goes above and beyond what is needed.
