My Thoughts on Prince, I Don’t Want To Be Killed by You This Time! -The Poor Lady Who Was Framed by the Saint, Avoids Being Skewered the Second Time! ~
This web novel, with its rather lengthy title, definitely piqued my interest with its promise of reincarnation, royalty, and a framed protagonist seeking to avoid a deadly fate. After diving in, I found it to be a mostly enjoyable, albeit somewhat flawed, read.
First Impressions
The initial setup is quite engaging. We have a protagonist who's been wronged, a second chance at life, and a clear goal: don't get killed! The story jumps right into the plot, which I appreciated. There's no excessive dawdling; the mysteries surrounding the time travel and the male lead's involvement are revealed relatively quickly. This direct approach kept me hooked from the start.
What Works Well
I particularly enjoyed the sweet and pure romance between the female lead (FL) and the male lead (ML). Their relationship felt genuine, and I was rooting for them throughout the story. The FL's friends also get significant screen time, which is always a plus in my book. It's refreshing to see a story where the protagonist's friendships are just as important as their romantic relationships. I also have to commend the author for crafting a relatively short and concise narrative. At under 100 chapters, it doesn't overstay its welcome and manages to maintain a clear focus.
Areas of Concern
While the story has its strengths, it's not without its weaknesses. I felt that the tension dissipated too quickly after the main conflict was resolved, making the "happily ever after" feel a bit drawn out. Additionally, the saint, who is supposed to be the FL's mortal enemy, is defeated rather easily, which felt a bit anticlimactic. Some readers might find the ML's overly kind nature a bit off-putting. I, for one, tend to prefer male leads with a bit more cunning and assertiveness.

Final Verdict
Overall, "Prince, I Don’t Want To Be Killed by You This Time!" is a decent read, especially if you're looking for a sweet and straightforward shoujo romance with a touch of fantasy. While it may not be the most groundbreaking or suspenseful story, it's still an enjoyable way to pass the time. I'd recommend it if you're in the mood for a quick, lighthearted read with a focus on character relationships and a relatively simple plot.
