Eh, most everything from chapter 3 to chapter 68 is just skippable fanservice.
Still, I'm glad I manage to power through. Most of the thinly disguised porn gets annoying, but the overall plot is cute.
Fist time I read a Josei adaptation that's worse than the Seinen one. Usually it's always the other way around.
Not enough focus on the MC's personal worth as a capable woman. Sure, the other adaptation slogs a bit on the minutiae of magic, but just a couple of passing mention is way worse.
Lily of the valley murders all the other flowers and grows everywhere... well, that happens IRL too. Not *that* fast for sure, but they tend to totally take over shaded corners.
Also, what the hell gardener? Even if you cut them it will do jack all if you do not dig up the roots as well.
Urgh...
Red spider lily and lily of the valley growing and flowering in the same space at the same time? 🤨
SOD broken.
Not enough for an immediate drop, since the kid says there's a spell going on, but still jarring. If you want to write a manga at least research what you're writing about.
This chapter was hilarious.
First the scorpion ballista plans
Then she's asking for saltpeter and sulfur, while taking care of charcoal by herself.
it's always the quiet ones
They should very much add into the description "WARNING: this is a PARODY of chuuni mangas"
Or maybe not, Poe's law and all that :P
As long as you keep in mind this is supposed to be comical, a great read.
