I really like this story because main character really calm and use her moves on right time. See another review, I feel that its should not take serious and put low rate because of that. Its only short story and not expect to have good background details about magic. But there really good ideal plot if in long run but sadly its short story. Its really cute and simple short story. So not be avoid read this because of another reviews.

Not a bad short story. All the required elements are present, the characters have some level of depth, and there is a basic plot that is described throughout the narrative. That being said, I feel there are far too many elements for the length of the story.

Characters, situations, and plot developments are thrown in the reader's face one after another, leaving no time to digest the content. This results in the story feeling rushed, as if it's riding the drawn out peak of a conflict. Additionally, because the narrative begins... more>> with that peak it feels as if much of the story is missing. It would have been much better if the story began a tad bit slower, and if it had been two to three times longer. As it is, this work is mediocre at best. <<less

It's a one shot, so I don't have too much expectation, but really a deus ex machina ?

Basically, MC uses a joker to everything and live happily ever after with her ex-brother in law, the end.

Spoiler
  • She uses her superior magic to steal documents guarded by an anti-magic seal to prove her father was a criminal. (Yeah, her magic is strong enough to bypass anti-magic system)
  • She has a double life, a duke daughter and a knight's commander, so she can prove she wasn't even here at the party when she is supposed to harass others since she was in a mission as a knight. (Like how can nobody notice a duke daughter disappearing long enough to go on military campaign, and she wasn't just a knight, but a popular commander too)

It's a great alternate take on the villainess story condemnation event/annulment event.

Loses a little for being too much of a power fantasy and having a bit of a ridiculous Mary Sue MC. But it's short so those flaws aren't that bad and they rush by.

Fairly good overall, but as Twilight said, it contains way too many things, compacted into the same space, making things messier than it needed.

For example, magic could very well not have been introduced at all, it serves only on 3 minor points but adds too much complexity without explanations (the character has at least 3 elements, no actual casting involved either, it's just "magic just because it's convenient for plot reason").

Most of the cast are simpletons, especially the "bad guys" that are complete moron despite supposedly being from influential backgrounds,... more>> the adults among them are even more dumb.

Spoiler

The father and mother are supposed to be high nobles, but they go along with the "public defamation" plot of the daughter, with no regard to things like etiquette and public image, which is usually a big no for nobles.

They don't even try to make it seem like they were not part of the plot, or that they wanted to resolve this more quietly either, being very happy erasing the person they saw as an eyesore.

If this was a bit more worked on, it could have been a nice short story, like plenty others, but as it stands it is sadly a fairly mediocre one based on an interesting (although not quite unique) idea. <<less

A cute short story and a not too bad female MC. Probably too short for any plot development.

It would be much better off as a one-shot manga.

Spoiler

A cool handsome female MC with hidden identity & abilities as a Knight commander. That's what I like and I would love to see her illustration.

The short story was good. It had interesting characters with intriguing encounters and backstories. The story mainly centered around how the MC was getting accused and her clearing her name. Although I enjoyed it, I would have liked to read more about the MC's development and encounters. I also feel like if the author wrote more about the MC's development, it would clarify a lot of things to the readers that weren't apparent in these two chapters.

It's a good short story.. think of it as reading from simply the confrontation & ending part (with some info about how it reached here), rather than the prologue+story development.

If the author wanted he/she could totally continue the story in a flashback format... fanfiction could be made too... this ones actually perfect for creating fanfiction.. :)

A decent short story to pass your time.

It's your classic villainess x prince (not the scumbag one). There are some unnecessary elements in the story and it is neither fluffy or great face slapping story, but for a short story it's enough.

Very cute and EXTREMELY satisfying. Gotta admit, I ADORE the trope of the dumb *ss prince hoisted on his own petard after everyone realizes he is slandering his now-ex-fiancee because he's a f*ckwit.

Also I LOVE that she gets a new engagement IMMEDIATELY to someone much more worthy of her!

Yet another "look at how awesome my op protagonist is" bragfest using the same tired cliches that everyone keeps using. There is not a shred of originality to this work.

This short story manages to offer enough twists and turns to make for a fun ride. However, I just wish that there was sufficient foreshadowing in the first part, such as our MC and ML knowingly looking at each other or something. It was enough to drop my rating by one point because there is no option to drop by only half a point. In any case, I enjoyed this short story due to those same twists and turns delivered in epic style in the second part. A big thank-you... more>> to the translators at Incarose Jealousy MTL for taking time out to translate and post this story. &Lt;3 <<less

A pretty good short story. I enjoyed it.

The FL was capable and smart enough.

I hate her original idea of self sacrifice though. Live for yourself, not for the anyone else.

I can't have enough of this story. The plot is actually interesting although it's quite common (you know, sister and half sister dispute, half sister steals sister's fiancee, etc). I love MC's character (duke's daughter and knight in disguise). I wish the story could be longer. Although it's just a short story, it's still enjoyable to read.

This was kinda boring for me. It was predictable when it wasn't pulling random ways to faceslap outta nowhere. I get that it's a oneshot, but popping out random OP things to faceslap isn't very interesting.
