Oujo-sama wa Uso ga Osuki

Chapter 1 felt like prologue material. Absolutely nothing happened.

 

[AMicrowave]

my guess is

Spoiler

the maid is the traitor

 

[Marika]

I think her onii-san is alive..... I mean you can move a ring to another body or something.

 

[HiddenCamelia]

cool premise, looking forward to how this develops

 

[Basementdweller09]

My guess on who the traitor is,

Spoiler

could be her supposedly dead older brother.
And maybe he's got more people behind him that contributed to the whole thing, like that suspicious maid of hers.🤔

.....but that could be to obvious to assume, while we only have 1 chapter out.

 

[Ironclad]

Where's the hook?

 

[Raghd-2002]

I just like every bad boy character in manga’s 😆

 

[Revertigo]

It seems so generic and nothing is progressing, the characters just feels like cardboard cutouts of every bland shoujo characters out there. You'd guess that from the title you'd get something interesting out of it but so far upto chapter 3, I just feel bored reading it and find myself doing it as an obligation that it might get better. Heroine is so far uninteresting and a tad bit stupid but hope fully we'll get some character development soon and not some run of the mill shoujo romance.

Who ever wrote this story might have to rethink it. At first I thought it could be interesting with a smart and perceptive heroine who knows how to play her cards to keep up the farce and regain her kingdom but it seems like this is just not it. I mean sure it's shoujo but why choose such a dreadful and quite horrifying setting ripe with intrigues and lies just to play it all down for some blushy moments with Mr. Prince?

Spoiler

If you want to write shoujo please do so in the setting it deserves and don't just slam dunk the relatively interesting and promising plot into the trash can so your heroine can play down the quite threatening situation on her former identity being exposed and in that way having people come after her life.
Majority of her family was eradicated by a traitor from within their ranks and she is a) not even a bit traumatised and b) not even nearly as concerned as she should be considering that the prince knows her true identity. Sure she brings a sword but was there any real intent to use it? He is the crown prince I dont think she could just stab him as she has no guts but why bring it in the first place? Why was there no productive talk whatsoever about how he got her identity and if he's going to expose her. She just goes blushy and pouty thinking about a situation which very much could end her life if played out wrongly.
Also how is she even able to pose as their daughter? Wouldn't there at least be news of the birth of at least one children of the country's prime minister? Let alone two? Also they came over when they were 7 and presumably 4, thats tather big for new born children. Maybe they are adopted but I didn't see anything of it in the manga itself so...

Anyway, I'm dropping this.

 

[mrf]

If you see this comment @ me when this on ch 5 or more. Putting this on plan to read.

 

[roxanneayy]

chapter 3 was pure disappointment... gonna put this on hold until I get to a point where I'm okay with how the MC is. lol I guess my expectation of her from the first chapter was too high.

 

[cezyou]

horrendous storytelling, weak characterization, failure to set up plot points

somehow I feel like I even prefer some of the most generic copycat stories to this.

 

[arandomshaman]

Despite the negative comments, so far I'm not put off by the manga. Sure every series has a weak point and it may not be for everyone but I'm enjoying it thus far and I really like the main couple!

If you're thinking of giving it a try, I suggest you do! Decide only then whether its worth dropping or not.

 

[Pokari]

There are so many warning signs in so many directions.

This could be be setting itself up to go the grim, dark and edgy route, and that could work with what they've done so far. While this is pure speculation,

Spoiler

for instance, especially given the title, this is totally ripe for a Shyamalan-esq twist that the protagonist is an unreliable narrator, and was the traitor who was responsible for her Kingdom's downfall

.

Or it could be heading into a really confused and messed up romance where the "bad boy appeal" goes way too far into questionable-taste territory.

Or it could be both.

In the meantime, it's suffering from some pacing issues and a lack of focus that combined with the darker elements just makes everything feel haphazard. If it doesn't shape up on delivery, no amount of good plot concept could fully salvage it.

_{And it could do without the random incest overtones. At least it's just overtones instead of actually being a thing, I guess...}

 

[TheGodEmperor]

So did SLC drop this or just backburner?

 

[Xirre]

@TheGodEmperor raws are unavailable rn not sure if SLC got a volume copy to keep translating this

 

[beyatreez]

I’ve read up to chapter 5 now hoping for the storytelling to improve, hoping for the plot to have more focus, hoping for the characters to have more depth and development but am ABSOLUTELY DISAPPOINTED.

The characters are weak. The female lead had a tragic past yet she never even thought of having the ambition to avenge her loved ones and take back what is rightfully hers. Too many points were introduced to make the story interesting but nothing happened and those points weren’t even used well to develop the story. The storytelling is a mess.

 

[Runadaemon]

I’m sorta pissed. That shifty ass prince hasn’t offered the slightest bit of proof for what he says he can do, but she’s jumping through hurdles that only endanger her anyway. No matter how I look at it, she's an idiot and since we already know what she ends up doing (because the first chapter is set in the ‘future’), I just find myself getting angrier at the thoughtless plot devices that don’t make enough sense for me keep reading. I might keep reading since I’m bored as hell, but I’m terribly tempted to drop it.
Translators, ya’ll are awesome and I appreciate your work. I’m just taking issue with the author’s choices.

 

[stretch22]

Mmm nah, not for me.
Slimy prince. MC destined to be a strong independent pushover. Unnecessary tragic pasts being traded like currency. Romance is barely romance, more like bipolar hypocritical interest.
