My Thoughts on I Don’t Need a Prince! ~ Reincarnated as the Villainous Rich Young Lady in a Supporting Role Through a Political Marriage, I Have Decided to Live a Life of Luxury in This Current World

This title is definitely a mouthful, but it pretty much sums up what you’re getting into with I Don’t Need a Prince! It’s a reincarnation story with a villainess twist, a dash of political intrigue, and a whole lot of self-indulgent luxury. Overall, my impression is that it's a fairly lighthearted read, perfect for when you want something easy and entertaining.

First Impressions

The premise is definitely intriguing. Our protagonist, Rosa, finds herself reborn as the villainess in a story she knows. Instead of trying to desperately cling to the male lead, she decides to embrace her wealth and live life on her own terms. I was immediately drawn in by the idea of a female lead who prioritizes her own happiness and independence, especially when bath bombs are involved!

What Works Well

The story really shines in its portrayal of Rosa's independent spirit. She's not afraid to defy expectations, and her dedication to creating luxurious bath products is genuinely charming. There's a definite feel-good element to watching her thrive and build her own empire, free from the constraints of societal expectations and unwanted princes. The male lead also seems like a solid character, consistently treating Rosa with respect and fairness, which is always a plus in my book. It looks like the story wraps up nicely and doesn't overstay its welcome, which is a definite win.

Areas of Concern

While the story seems enjoyable overall, I do have some reservations. One area of concern that has come to my attention is the extended focus on slanderous rumors surrounding Rosa. It appears that this plot point drags on for quite some time, which may become frustrating for some readers.

Final Verdict

I Don’t Need a Prince! sounds like a decent choice if you're looking for a light and fluffy read with a strong, independent female lead. While there might be some frustrating plot points along the way, the overall message of self-reliance and embracing a life of luxury seems appealing. I would recommend this if you need a filler between heavier reads.
