Description
The only captured princess in the ruined kingdom, Anserina, was taken to an unknown place by the Revolutionary Army that destroyed the country. And what awaited her there was the terrible news that she would be the plaything of a man older than her father. “Nonsense! Do you think I’ll do something like that?” “If you don’t. Then what have you been here for?” Riven, the man who had brought the news to her sarcastically, whispered to her devilishly that there was another way. “What if you could never be that man’s lover?” “In what way?” “Simply put, sleep with me first.” A proposal so shameful and degrading for her, whose royal status has been lost by the revolution but whose pride still remains. But she had no better option.

How To Survive As A Princess Of A Ruined Country Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on How To Survive As A Princess Of A Ruined Country
This web novel certainly grabbed my attention with its intriguing title and mature themes. "How To Survive As A Princess Of A Ruined Country" promises a dark fantasy romance, and for the most part, it delivers. With a strong female lead and a compelling plot that unfolds in just over 20 chapters, it's a relatively quick read, perfect for a weekend binge.
First Impressions
Going in, I was expecting a gritty tale of survival and political intrigue, and that's partially what I got. The initial setup is brutal: Princess Anserina's kingdom falls, and she's essentially sold off. The story doesn't shy away from difficult topics, and the morally grey characters immediately create a sense of tension. I was hooked from the get-go, eager to see how Anserina would navigate such a treacherous situation.
What Works Well
The character development, especially for Anserina and Riven, is a major strength. Anserina is far from a damsel; she's intelligent, resilient, and determined to survive. Riven, the male lead, is complex and conflicted, haunted by his own traumatic past. I really enjoyed watching their relationship evolve, even amidst the darkness. The smut scenes are well-written and contribute to the story, rather than feeling gratuitous. I found the romance, though slow-burn, ultimately satisfying because it felt earned, based on a shared understanding of each other's brokenness.
Areas of Concern
While I appreciated the overall plot, I can see why some readers might find certain aspects problematic. Riven's actions, particularly in the beginning, are questionable, and his manipulative tendencies could be a turn-off for some. Also, the presence of the FL's past lover, while not inherently negative, was something I could have done without. It felt a bit unnecessary and detracted from the central romance.

Final Verdict
"How To Survive As A Princess Of A Ruined Country" is a dark and steamy read with compelling characters and a decent plot. While the ML's actions may not be for everyone, the FL's strength and the slow-burn romance make it worthwhile. If you're looking for a short, mature fantasy romance with morally grey characters, I'd recommend giving this one a try. Just be prepared for some potentially triggering content.
