Interesting art style, but I am not sure yet what it even is about. Feels like we skipped an intro arc.
i feel like it's gonna make fun of some trope, we already saw the "she knows the MC because she was friends with him as a kid trope (or whatever tf y'all want to name it) even tho it was warped a bit


maybe we'll see a "MC mother is dead but is actually alive with a new identity" next ch or something

this was all over the place... Serious, unserious, funny, but not THAT funny... Does he have manipulation powers or something? that whole made-up backstory seemed like magic, but at the same time it could just have been a huge ass-pull. The fact that i can't tell the difference says enough about the writing quality. The demon-lord is his mom or something too?
shit's too all over the place.

From what I take it, it's actually similar (or possibly reference) to the famous fight scene between Yuji Itadori vs Aoi Todo in JJK where when Yuji said he likes tall women with big butt, the whole made-up memories goes into play in Todo head and latter call Yuji his "best friend" and switch side.

But it was presented in different way, so I guess not everyone get it.

I see, so they have ascribed to the "throw enought shit at the wall, and see what sticks" theory. This one seems to have landed with enough force to momentarilyhold it in place, but definitely feels like it will fall off soon there after.

the pacing is awful but it has some potential. feels like the author was a bit drunk when deciding the pacing though lmao

It throws a lot at you in this chapter, and some of it doesn't really flow well, like we're suddenly seeing the prince's depressing past in a rather jarring way, before suddenly being shot back to the present - it probably would have worked better if we see all of the princes backstory, have him get captured (and the likely betrayal that caused said capture), and then the attempted execution, in proper sequential order. I'm guessing they did it in this way out-of-order manner because they felt it would be more interesting for the reader.

Also, I really hope that the prince has a strange power that effects memories, or how people perceive him, or something... or that entire bit with the elf knight's memory would have just been extremely forced and stupid. It really came out of nowhere.

Anyway, the initial chapter, though rushed, seems like an interesting set up, so I'll give it a few more chapters.

40 pages but it feels like the author crammed and rushing too many plot point for a pilot chapter.

The pacing of this manga is so fast it's making The Flash sweat. I'll stick with it for a bit, but good grief does the author need to slow down.
