The Nerd Turned Out To Be The Tyrant

Description

Links are NOT allowed. Format your description nicely so people can easily read them. Please use proper spacing and paragraphs.

I fell into an R19 devastating novel where a tyrant went mad and killed all the characters in the story.

The problem is that I only looked at the scenes and didn’t know the contents properly!

In any case, there is only one person to avoid, and it’s no other than the emperor. As a commoner, will I even have the chance to meet him?

While living in a village on the far end of the continent which was very distant from the imperial palace, I only have one interest!

“I’m Lucette. You can call me Luce.”

“Me too… call me Rev.”

One day, a mysterious boy, Rev, suddenly appeared in the village.

“Really, what are you going to do without me?”

“Yeah, how can I live without you?”

I’m worried because he’s so kind and naïve, so I have to take care of him and protect him!

…… That’s what I thought.

“…The other places are fine, but you should not come to the second floor.”

“Please, you must not drink this.”

“It’s nothing.”

Why do you have so many secrets?

“Report immediately who she meets, what she does, and who she smiles at.”

My friend, who disappeared for a while, came back even more suspicious.

“I told you, Luce. I cannot live without you.”

Who are you?

The romance is a standard fare. A young abandoned prince in exile falls in love with a ditzy commoner girl. It's quite cute. If you like childhood sweethearts, hidden identities and powerful characters pretending to be meek in front of their love interest then it will be right up your alley.

But what I like the most is that the side characters are nicely fleshed out. Frankly I enjoy all the secrets and scheming done by the people around protagonists more than the actual romance. The magician who is always doing something shady but you can't decide whether he's helping you or scheming against you. The empress consort that doesn't hate her step-son but never helps him in fear that if the emperor stops hating his first son, he'll turn his abusive behaviour towards her own child. The young second prince, who grew up surrounded by praise and given unconditional love but doesn't understand that the world outside his own bubble is cruel and harsh, harming people around him in his ignorance. It's refreshing since so often the characters in webnovels are either saints, grotesquely villanous or one dimensional props.

I like it, but I'm getting that awful feeling. The feeling that the author is going to twist the relationships into a mess and go darkcore.

Also, the last wizard Ladanum, it doesn't seem like he is on the emperor's side or our ML's side. Seems like Ladanum is on his own side trying to use what he can to live for the future. So I can't hate him or like him, just curious about his actions.

FL is kind of s*upid but I'm enjoying it so far. ML is an abandoned Prince exiled to a remote village town, where he meets FL, who protects him from the local bully. ML is shy, formal and a little awkward, which FL finds very cute. But we get glimpses of a darker side when people from the Imperial family pop up to block his growing friendship with FL. I'm looking forward to seeings how this story goes!

It's a great story, our FL wakes up in the body of an unknown character of a r19 story after being hit by a car whilst reading. She becomes accustomed to this life fairly early and seems to completely forget the novel except for key moments. During this dedicated happy life she's designated herself, she meets the ML, the crown prince who's hidden his identity to live undercover within her village. They grow closer quickly and fall for each other early on, with these feelings being painfully hidden. She decides... more>> to become a pharmacist whilst thinking of his unknown illness and soon things take a turn for the worse..

Now personally I enjoyed this story a lot. The art was great, and the plot wasn't too bad, safe for the fact I wasn't enjoying reading for secrets and slow burn. The story seems to drag on for a lot, and I burned through the first chapters quickly, before slowing down and realising there was too much going on for me to enjoy. Especially when I went in hoping it would be a simple romance where they communicate nicely and get together early, with the only conflicts being his succession to the throne or his conflict with the mysterious suspicious mage, but then there was the plot of the fire and her father's identity and so on and it generally just hurt my head, considering these stories have monstrous miscommunication and misunderstandings. I enjoy the characters, but would've preferred if the FL and ML knew about each other and got together early on. They tend to hide so much from each other it takes away any enjoyability. Overall, a 3-4 rating, since I was feeling generous I left it at 4. <<less
