A very so so story. The characters were cute but kind of flat and the plot just kind of fizzled out.

Despite the title, there was hardly any coolness or coldness, they were both just bland nice people.

Surprisingly cute and lighthearted story with a focus on development, not war/battles. I liked that the ML didn't appear immediately and the relationship between the MC and other characters were developed first. Overall, it was a natural romance from arranged marriage to friendship to romance. None of the petty revenge stuff you find in other novels either. Very warm and sweet!

The MC quite interesting, has few charming points, and I enjoy read this because of him.

The ML not that interesting, there's not enough character development for me to like him more, and other characters feels more interesting than him.

And I don't understand why they can falling love?

Urie x Haruto feels more logical pairing than Leonhart x Haruto. I can't even enjoy MC x ML pairing! Lol

Well, if you want some light read, you can try this (even though there's better light read out there, but go ahead). Even so, don't expect many fluff from ML x MC.. Lol <<less

The first time I read this I loved it. But now I realize how it doesn't live up to my standards of shounen ai/yaoi now. So by the 2nd time, I realise Its alright. The characters are alright, the plot is s*upid af and the cuteness is alright. But even when reading the first time, there wasn't that much excitement and there is still remotely any shits I can give about any of the characters because they all really lack that spunk. I'm actually slightly pisst at the king of... more>> the kingdom because of sending the MC to be queen, for the sake of the country that really doesn't have anything to do with the MC. But whatever MC gets all this crap responsibility and burden because plot.... so yeah it's cute but logic is wtf. <<less

It's good, but def is not enough. It had potential- both the plot and the characters but the delivery was not that thorough as it's like reading a summary with some dialogues in between but it's still good, very light and simple, plus the chapters are quite short so you can read it in less than a day.

This novel is fairly simple, short, and sweet and can be plausibly finished in just a few hours.

The plot is very fluffy and cute but is barely there and kinda slow to pick up. All conflict are almost immediately resolved and though I don't really mind for the most part, the way the author handled the last conflict (the anniversary one) honestly ticked me off with the lack of further information about it.

Spoiler

Cause I'm pretty sure casting fireball on another country is a pretty blatant declaration of war and getting away with barely a slap on the wrist as a resolution is unsatisfactory as hell.

The main characters are fine but they don't really undergo a lot of character development. Any other character other than the MC and the ML are pretty much cannon fodder for the story and have as much personality as white bread.

Overall, it's a cute and short story with a satisfying (enough) ending. Don't go into this expecting a lot of plot, though. <<less

Well it's short, straight to the point and with enough sweetness throughout its entirety: in other words, this novel is a perfect snack!

Read it few months back. Dont leave any impression, beside....... confuse

But, it's short and light hearted.

Quick take, will edit later:

It’s a fluffy, albeit a little cliche, story but it’s very very shallow. For better or for worse, there’s very little detail, and a lot of telling rather than showing. Dramatic events are wrapped up in one shot, the entire story is honestly rather low tension. The chapters are pretty short too, so overall it’s honestly quite a fast read (I finished this in an hour, hour and half even while distracted by Twitter). Depending on what you want, it’s not bad by any means. The... more>> story is interesting but is low tension and goes down easily enough that it’s honestly pretty good to read before bed. Rather than detail or fleshed out characters, it’s more of a “rough draft” story that you write on first take or just for fun. That said, it is rather your standard and straightforward “gotta go marry a king of a foreign country oh look now we’re in love” kind of story, so make of that what you will. <<less

This story reads like a soft bouquet of flowers. It has a fairytale like structure to it. I am really glad I gave this story a chance. I'm very fond of it.

The pace of the novel move a bit faster than I expected but it's still a good read.

The summary is very misleading-- the tone is far more subdued and less extravagant than the summary promises. We have a protagonist who transmigrates into a fantasy country of magic where we are shown a very low-key slice of life glimpse of his five years. Under the very weak premise of needing an alliance, the MC is quickly 'adopted' into the royal family as a "princess" and married off to a neighbouring country.

One of the main problems with the novel is the sense of disconnect. The writing fails to endear... more>> you to any particular character and the MC's personal angst and sense of presence is very weak so nothing particular grabs you.

However, the novel has its cute moments and I admit, the fact that the fantasy world accepts same-s*x marriage was a huge bonus even though the MC still needs to pretend to be a girl so really... what was the point.

Overall, a weak three star rating sums up this novel. <<less
