My Thoughts on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered by a villainess in my presence! What ought I to do now?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered by a villainess in my presence! What ought I to do now?" is a mouthful of a title, but it certainly grabbed my attention! I dove in expecting a thrilling ride of adventure, drama, and maybe a little romance, and the story definitely delivered on some of those fronts.
First Impressions
The premise is undeniably intriguing. Starting with a murder committed by a villainess right before the MC's eyes? Talk about a hook! I was immediately curious about the MC's connection to the events and how she'd navigate this incredibly precarious situation. The European-esque setting adds a nice touch of classic fantasy flair, drawing me further into the world.
What Works Well
The plot is well-paced and engaging, particularly in the beginning. I enjoyed unraveling the mystery surrounding the crown prince's murder and the MC's role in everything. The author does a good job of keeping you guessing and slowly revealing pieces of the puzzle. The blend of adventure and drama is executed nicely, creating a compelling narrative that kept me turning the pages. The tags of engagement and marriage also hint at some interesting romantic developments that I found enjoyable.
Areas of Concern
While I enjoyed the overall story, I did find myself a little underwhelmed by the male lead. His appearance felt somewhat abrupt and not as organically woven into the plot as I would have liked. It felt like he came out of nowhere. I also felt that the story could have benefited from more world-building and background information, especially concerning the events leading up to the initial murder. I was left wanting more details and a deeper understanding of the characters' motivations.
Final Verdict
Overall, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was murdered by a villainess in my presence! What ought I to do now?" is a worthwhile read, especially if you're looking for a quick and engaging fantasy story with a unique premise. While it has a few shortcomings, the intriguing plot and compelling characters make it an enjoyable experience. I would recommend it, but with the caveat that some aspects could have been more fleshed out.
