Born as the Princess of War, touted as the Greatest Mage, her name was Leticiel. She lost her family and partner to the neighboring kingdom’s invasion. In order to prevent her power from falling into enemy hands, Leticiel took her own life… or that was what was supposed to happen. Instead, she woke up to see an unfamiliar ceiling. After gathering information, Leticiel realized she had somehow transmigrated into another person living a thousand years after. To make things worse, she was a talentless lady who was shunned by her acquaintances, family, and even her fiancee. There were many issues she wanted to complain about, but when she witnessed the magecraft of the world from a thousand years after… “Magecraft Maniac” Leticiel was livid at its lameness. “The magecraft level in this world is too looooow!!!” The tale of an eccentric Royal Highness blasting open her path in life using the strongest magecraft, begins!

My Thoughts on Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

"Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry" is a web novel that I went into with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, given the divided opinions. While it certainly has its charms and potential, it's not without its flaws. I can see why some readers are hooked, while others bounced off pretty quickly.

First Impressions

The initial chapters definitely set a stage ripe with possibilities. We have a reincarnated protagonist, thrust into a world vastly different from her own, suffering from a bit of amnesia and navigating the complexities of noble society. The premise is intriguing. The world-building hints at a deeper history and a magic system with potential for exploration, and that kept me interested.

What Works Well

I found the initial world-building to be a definite strength. The slow reveal of the world through the MC's perspective is a clever way to keep the reader engaged. I also appreciated the slice-of-life elements. The day-to-day interactions and gradual uncovering of the world were interesting and enjoyable. The author does a good job of piquing my interest, making me wonder how she'll reveal her power.

Areas of Concern

However, the novel does stumble in a few areas. Several readers have pointed out the reliance on clichés, and I can see where they're coming from. Certain character archetypes feel a bit too familiar. Also, the pacing can be uneven. The introduction of new characters, particularly love interests, feels rushed and somewhat forced, disrupting the flow of the story. I also agree that the plot holes, particularly around the loss of magic knowledge, can be a bit jarring if you think about them too much.

Final Verdict

Overall, "Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry" is a mixed bag. It has moments of brilliance, particularly in its world-building and character interactions. However, it's held back by its reliance on clichés and some questionable pacing choices. If you're a fan of the reincarnation genre and are willing to overlook some of its flaws, you might find it an enjoyable read. However, if you're looking for something truly original and groundbreaking, this might not be the novel for you. I'd give it a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars. It's entertaining, but not without its issues.
