Description
It’s been 11 years since I’ve lived for others and not for me. The moment I cried out wanting to get away from my exhausting life, I opened my eyes in the body of some Count’s 20-year-old daughter. Since this happened, I decided to live my life freely as a single woman. But… “I need a lady to act as my fake wife for a certain period of time.” “A contract marriage?” “The term is one year. When the time is up, I’ll give you divorce with no strings attached.” The Duke of the Empire whom I had happened to meet at a ball was hitting on me. Turns out he’s no other than the Emperor’s beloved brother, Duke Scade! Hold on, it’s just going to end in a clean divorce with no strings attached? “You should also give me alimony. Give me one of the best lands of the Ducal household with 10 years’ worth of profit.” “…..What?” “If you don’t want to do that, then we cannot get married.” This time I’m going to live a life taking care of the things I need first! *** “I’ll escort you since it’s late.” Where to? My bedroom is just around the corner. “Tonight, I’ll do my best.” No, I don’t need you to do that. “Did you just look at that man?” Excuse me, Duke, you said it’s for a limited time only, so why do you keep obsessing over me?

My Thoughts on The Royal Deal
"The Royal Deal" is definitely a web novel that evokes strong feelings, both positive and negative. Diving in, I found myself on a rollercoaster of amusement, frustration, and occasional head-scratching. It's a completed story, so there's a definite ending, but the journey to get there seems to be a point of contention for many.
First Impressions
Initially, I was intrigued by the premise of a contract marriage with a genre-savvy female lead (FL). The idea of humorous banter and a snarky male lead (ML) definitely appealed to my love for lighthearted fantasy romance. The early chapters promised a fun, escapist read, and I was eager to see how the relationship would develop.
What Works Well
When "The Royal Deal" hits its stride, it's undeniably entertaining. The dynamic between the FL, Amethyst, and the ML, Duke Skad, is often cited as a major draw. Their witty exchanges and growing affection provide plenty of "aww" moments, and many appreciate the "enemies to lovers" vibe. Some readers found the FL's initial selfishness believable, considering her past life as an underappreciated housewife. The spice level is also a plus for those seeking a bit of heat in their romance. The translation is also commonly praised, making the story easy to get lost in.
Areas of Concern
However, the story seems to stumble as it progresses. A recurring criticism revolves around the FL's character. While some find her relatable and strong, others view her as naive, annoying, and lacking in character development. Her perceived disregard for her children from her previous life is a major sticking point for some, and her actions in the new world are often seen as inconsistent or illogical.
The ML also comes under fire. His actions, particularly regarding the mistreatment of maids, are deemed unforgivable by some, and his overall behavior is described as arrogant and disrespectful. The communication between the leads is also frequently criticized, with misunderstandings dragging on for too long. The plot itself is sometimes described as "empty" and lacking substance.

Final Verdict
"The Royal Deal" is a divisive novel. While it offers moments of lighthearted fun and romance, it's also plagued by character inconsistencies and questionable plot choices. If you're willing to overlook these flaws and are primarily seeking an easy, escapist read with some spice, you might enjoy it. However, if you're looking for complex characters and a well-developed plot, you might be better off looking elsewhere. Personally, I think it's a 3 out of 5 stars.
