My Thoughts on This Wasn’t in the Script, Duke!
First Impressions
Okay, so "This Wasn’t in the Script, Duke!" definitely grabbed my attention with its unique premise. The idea of a reincarnated actress being tasked by a self-proclaimed goddess/author to play supporting roles in novels? Intriguing! I jumped in eager to see how this meta-narrative would play out, and so far I'm not disappointed.
What Works Well
The main character is definitely a highlight. I appreciate her background as an actress; it adds a layer of depth to her actions and reactions. She isn't just a blank slate thrown into a new world; she has skills and experiences that shape her choices. I find myself really invested in her journey and how she navigates the various roles she's assigned.
The world-building is also something that's piqued my interest. The European-esque setting, complete with nobles and maids, provides a familiar yet fantastical backdrop for the story. I'm particularly keen on seeing how the author develops the lore and explores the intricacies of this society. The potential for political intrigue and social commentary feels ripe, and I'm hoping it's something the story delves into further.
Areas of Concern
While I'm enjoying the story so far, I am hoping to see more development with the male lead. I want to see him fleshed out beyond just a romantic interest. I want to understand his motivations, his flaws, and what makes him truly tick. A well-developed male lead can elevate a romance story from good to great, and I'm eager to see if the author takes the time to build him into a compelling character.
Final Verdict
Overall, "This Wasn’t in the Script, Duke!" has a lot of potential. The unique concept, engaging protagonist, and intriguing world-building have definitely hooked me. While there are a few areas I'd like to see developed further, I'm optimistic about the direction the story is heading. If you're looking for a fantasy romance with a meta twist and a strong female lead, this might be right up your alley.
