Description
In a dawn-inspired haze, I accidentally sent a love letter. And of all people, it went to Derek Frith, the Duke who’s first on the war draft list, ranked number one as the man likely to break the bed on the wedding night, and known as the Blood Sea of Kriant… Your Grace! I beg you, please return it unopened! The letter that should have remained sealed was ultimately exposed to the world. But… The man who seemed poised to end Audrey’s life at any moment is behaving rather oddly? He’s donning elaborate attire he’s never worn before, And his words hover between compliments and thinly veiled threats. “Your eyes remind me of the hilt of a treasured sword.” “…Pardon?” “It was a beautiful sword granted by His Majesty before the war. As soon as a fly landed on it, it would have been split in two. It had a beautiful green hilt… but it turned red as it was stained with blood. Human blood never washes off, no matter how much you scrub.” “!” Audrey’s face turned pale. ‘Does he mean he wants to cut off my breath too?’ A romance of mutual misunderstanding between a lifelong single Duke making somewhat strange advances, and Audrey, who got herself entangled due to one mistakenly sent letter. #MaleLeadAggressivelyDancingTheCourtship DanceOfTheOtherWorld #FemaleLeadMistakingFlirtingFormu*derThreat #LearningRomanceFromBooks #MildMisunderstanding #ComedicStory

Duke, Please Let Go of My Ankle! Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on Duke, Please Let Go of My Ankle!
"Duke, Please Let Go of My Ankle!" promised a lighthearted escape, and after diving in, I found myself mostly charmed by its blend of reincarnation, European-esque nobility, and heaps of comedic misunderstandings. While the initial experience was a bit rough, the story ultimately won me over.
First Impressions
My initial foray wasn't the smoothest. The early chapters felt a little clunky, and I struggled to fully grasp the nuances of the plot and character motivations. It felt like something was lost in translation, making it difficult to connect with the story. However, I decided to persevere, and I'm glad I did.
What Works Well
Once I pushed past the initial hurdle, the humor really began to shine. The core concept of the Duke's... unique... courtship methods is hilarious. The "AggressivelyDancingTheCourtshipDanceOfTheOtherWorld" description is spot on! His POV chapters are definitely a highlight, offering a peek into his hilariously skewed perspective and adding another layer to the comedic misunderstandings. The female lead is also quite appealing. I found her character relatable and easy to root for as she navigates her new life. The author does a good job of using the reincarnation trope to create interesting situations and character dynamics.
Areas of Concern
My biggest issue, and it's something I noticed early on, was the quality of the initial translation. It made understanding the story unnecessarily difficult and almost deterred me from continuing. This is unfortunate because the underlying story seems genuinely entertaining.
Final Verdict
Despite my initial reservations regarding the translation, "Duke, Please Let Go of My Ankle!" is a fun and engaging read. The humor is well-executed, the characters are likable, and the plot, while relying on the familiar "reincarnated noble" trope, offers a fresh and entertaining spin. If you're looking for a lighthearted rom-com with plenty of misunderstandings and a healthy dose of fantasy, this might just be the story for you. Just be sure you're reading a well-translated version! I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
