I'm a bit confused about the story. Well, honestly I expect a few plot holes since it's just a short story but this is just too much.

Spoiler
  • The prince obviously made up some excuses to cancel his engagement with MC (ex: MC liked to bully other girl) but MC's brother just calmly accept it? He doesn't even try to defend MC. Doesn't he worry about his sister's reputation?
  • The prince seems to like MC a bit and intends to free her by canceling the engagement so she could chase her dream. Buy why shoud he tarnish MC's reputation as the method? His action is kind of conflicting.
  • MC confessed to the prince that she liked him when she's still her fiancee but suddenly in the last chapter there is new ML introduced and MC seems to like him since a long time ago (even before becoming the prince's fiancee). So, what's the point of confessing to the prince before she left?

Umm, what did I just read? I just finished reading the whole chapter, and I can say I'm quite confused.

Imo this is neither comedy nor romance, and surely not tragedy or drama. The story just felt really empty and flat. I know asking for world building or character building for a 4 chapters-length story would be too much, but at least don't just throw something when they serve no purpose. Idk why the introduced character were there (like the brother), they don't even give any impact to the story.

And regarding... more>> the conclusion, why is there no one opposed to her decision? I mean, isn't she a noble girl? I feel 'because it's my dream' to be a very weak reason without any backstory.

The setting also not well explained. Usually noble stories are set on the middle-age era, but this one seems to be on modern era (maybe). We don't even know what kind of noble family the MC is from.

And although I'm thankful for the translation, I must say the translator haven't done their best... The translation seem very rough and looks very google-translate like.

That's unfortunate though, since imo it has potential. <<less

This isn’t a short story as much as a recounting the main character’s dream, how it was derailed by unwanted engagement, and how she was freed by the annulment of said engagement. There’s zero progression in the MC, and the rest of the characters are just props. There’s a hint of romance, but it’s not at all salient to the events of the story. I’m just adding an extra star because the MC’s dream is unusual and her inability to contain her joy at the annulment amused me (a bit).

I have to say...I have very, very mixed feelings about this. First off, the author probably didn't know how to end this. May be, he was hoping for this to turn into something big.

There is very little to comment about this, really. Even giving it 3 is a stretch. It is more of a trailer or a oneshot kind of thing.

Just gonna say that I had hoped for more from this.

Literally no romance or even decent comedy. It is just...a short story. Period.

This is not Mango approved.

It's very short with lots of plot holes or loose ends. I feel like each action and scenes were 2D or wasn't flash out well.

It's basically an MC not wanting the queen training.

this story is short, so not much details but you can gleam the situation

contrary to what some have written, I did not see FL confessing to Prince, but rather her telling him that she had a rough time while doing princess training but that his company helped her through it. It seems like FL and Prince don't hate each other, and are rather friends, that understand he needs a fiancee but she doesn't want to be it, so they try to find ways to break it. They find a girl (I'm assuming she's orchestrating the whole bullying, but rather than saying she didn't do it, Prince, FL and her brother use that as a chance to break the engagement. And since that girl seems to want to be with Prince, he settles for her. Our FL is happy to be free from the engagement and wants to live out her dream job so she leaves to pack immediately after the Prince tells her of his/the girls plans to "convict" her of bullying/break the engagement publicly. Prince and bro make sure she's fine with being labeled as a villainess multiple times-which shows they care and don't believe she did any bullying.

I read a lot of stuff, so I might be able to pick up on nuances more (or make up stories between the lines lol) but I think its a good read overall. Maybe if you didn't understand certain points in the story, read my spoiler-might make the story have more sense. Also, the TL notes in pt 1 that they're checking older works to fix the grammar/english a little as they get better at it, so maybe I read it after its been corrected and easier to understand. There doesn't seem to be much romance, if any, it's just a short story of how an engagement between FL & prince is broken and her dream of being free is possible now. <<less

Well. It fulfilled what its meant to do *points at title*. Kind of different, but its not the WOW kind of different.

If you want something different, this isnt it. Maybe someone trapped in an unwilling situatkon, that isnt moving on, might get this. But, its not very relatable. No mushy moments, just vague interactions and intent or information dump thats barely justified *shrug*

The stories okay, it's just there's this strange disconnect between c1.1 & c1.2, and the story goes in an unexpected direction that's kind of boring. But it's a sweet short story, I just don't understand the Prince's reactions in c1.1.
