I think it's a bit of a stretch putting the girls love and romance tags on this one. Just read it all and there was virtually zero romance and I think only two comments implying that the MC is gay. So don't go into this expecting a great Yuri story.

I ugly sobbed at the end of the first arc what the fuck

You might want to look up the word king in an english dictionary. Oxford, Cambridge, and Webster, all define king as: "a male monarch" when it mentioned in conjunction, with a royal ruler of a territory.

Using the term king for a woman is not a grammatically correct, and is has 99% chance of being a mistranslation, from a gender-neutral term used in Japanese.

I hoped to go in different direction than what anime did but ig (anime spoilers)euphie going god mode is canon to the source material. I had hopes for the manga to be saved from that ass ending but here we are. At least it is better paced and expressive, compared to the anime, which adds toward the experience... 6/10, maybe 7 on a good day

I don't know why you think it would take a different direction. The anime is based on the light novels and so is the manga. You hate the animes ending because that's not actually the ending to the story. It's just a very rushed ending to an arc of the story. The last 3 episodes of the anime are very rushed and cover the entirety of volume 3 of the light novels.

I just dislike the direction the story took, so much that I didn't even want to check the source material. The pacing itself isn't the issue for me. It's how the story protrays that the efforts of the MC were meaningless in the end. After many years of hard work, studying, being shunned by the public and more she finally manages to get to somewhere with her goals, only for her GF to awaken some OP power the moment something goes south for the MC. I get the drawback of immortality and losing her memories is there, but man the whole sideplot was just unnecessary and did nothing to fix the actual issue.

So like... this is it? the struggles of nobility and marriage in the anime were hard to watch, so I thought "WELP let's wait a few chapters until the manga goes past that, I don't want to see more creepy nobles around" and just like that, without even reaching what the anime covered, it went into hiatus?

So.... at any point do Anis and Euphie get together? Be kind of disappointing if they don't.

 

[SuperMachamp]

I like this....but lord is is wordy. Not HxH wordy.....but sooooo many words.

 

[Dirt_Lord]

the story and art isn't bad and the first 30 chapters or so are decent but the tropes start to pile up and makes this one not quite as good as it could have been. 6/10

It's really not quite that cut-and-dry, particularly because deliberately using words 'wrongly' sometimes carries significant meaning. Using traditionally-male titles for female rulers has for instance a long, if unusual, history in actual politics (particularly, to imply that said ruler is not and will not be second-place, as female-equivalent titles have at many points been considered in many cultures). When those titles are used as such, using the male title in English is 100% accurate.

If the original text was a technically-potentially-gender-neutral word like 王 in a place where, for instance, a specifically female title 女王 would for some reason normally be expected, I'd consider it a translator's job to try to divine the intent and context and and pick between "king", "ruler", and "queen". Other characters are referred to as 'queen' in places in the translation; if the translator does believe there's a salient difference in gendered language in the original that's supposed to come through, a translator has to figure out how to represent that. And indeed if the translator thinks it's important, "king" might easily become a potentially-appropriate way to highlight any unusual language.

(It could also be a bad reflexive dictionary translation as you say, or any number of other things, such as a translator's personal opinions on gendered titles vis-a-vis feminism, butch lesbian vibes for the hell of it, etc.—However, whatever the translator's actual intent, there is a fundamental difference between something being "factually incorrect according to the dictionary" and "a bad translation", because how we play with words is often how ideas are communicated in fiction.)
