Is it just me, or did the interest of this series just tank in two chapters? The failed conveyance of the princess's gender, the reveal that the maid is a high ranking member of the antagonists, the out of left field time skip, the obnoxious friend putting the MC in debt, the forgetting of the promise to the maid, and the overall decline of the MC's personality? So many not-good types dumped all at once just made these last two chapters painful to sit through.
Here's hoping it picks itself back up. I mean, it's apparently gone for over 100 chapters, so I guess it must have.
