First things first, characters; honestly just a little too generic for my tastes. Normally generic characters don't bother me if the story is interesting or they have some quirks, but this time round it's just bad. Leon is the only one who stands out a little but even then I go from enjoying him to saying, out loud, "Wtf are you doing, are you stupid??" which isn't a great position for a character to be in, and you just know something is wrong with the cast when a viewer's favourite character is the dry wit AI companion with thinly veiled murderous intent. I get that to an extent they're otome game characters and are supposed to be generic, but come on man, I've seen more depth in an ash tray.
Secondly, and most damning, the story AKA an absolutely clustertruck of nonsense. The synopsis and many points in the story go out of their way to point out that "this world is a matriarchy"...um, no it isn't, not in the bloody slightest. If by "matriarchy" you mean the ladies are all nasty backstabbing ingrates then yes, but that's not what that word means. Not to mention the story also puts a tonne of emphasis on marriage, that young men are useless unless married because until then they can't have any power...except that's a lie, case and point our main character is able to get money, official status, a warship and his own private island all without the help of a lady. Nothing stands in his way, no-one stops him or refuses based on the fact he isn't married, absolutely no meaningful pushback at a bachelor obtaining all of this.
The QUEEN isn't even the one in charge, they have a KING instead, and it's the PRINCE everyone bends over backwards for, speaking of him if this story had a legit matriarchy then Julius and the noble lads around him would have NEVER gotten away with scorning their fiances the way they did, nor would Julius get away with publically disrespecting and embarrassing Angie, they got the equivalent of slaps on the wrists, it's pathetic. The whole premise of the world is so poorly handled that Leon insisting he needs to go to the academy and get married makes no damn sense, he already has riches to last him years, high status in the royal court and a place to live, he doesn't need to get married and spend time in a place he clearly doesn't want to be. I don't like dragging the authors into these sorts of things normally, but I can honestly say I wasn't surprised when I found out that this laughably abyssmal attempt at a "women hold all the power" narrative was written by a man.
Other than that glaring, lore-shattering issue it's your bog-standard slice of life romcom with the occasional low-effort battle and boring low-threat stakes that you just know will be resolved without problem or real consequence by the MC.
Like I said at the start, maybe the story is better written or fleshed out in the source material, but as I've not read it I can only judge based on the anime, and the anime story sucks big time.
Lastly, and I don't want to linger too long on this, but the actual animation and general quality are pretty bad. For your run-of-the-mill mediocre romance anime it works fine most of the time, but everything that's not characters standing around talking is janky, and a good percentage of the time the lip syncing doesn't line up. It's nice to look at for screenshots but it's clear corners have been cut and not for the better.
Overall I'm kinda' thinking to myself "You got what was coming to you" because I don't usually give these kinds of anime a try, I went in with average expectations and found even that was too much for it to live up to.
