WAUGH I WISH I'M RICH ENOUGH TO SUPPORT THIS SERIES im glad that the author isnt stopping but still.... it stings considering how rare it is to have a fantasy royalty yuri compared to high schoolera and office ladies ones
For those who want to support, it’s $0.64 USD (yes 64 cents) a month to view the latest chapter. A little over $3 a month gets you access to all chapters. Totally understand if that’s not in people’s budgets, just wanted to give some context

Continuing on this, there might be a bigger issue too, uncertain audience.

First of all it was published on Comic Walker, which is not a yuri magazine obviously, so it being yuri might have turned off some readers, then there's the fact that it's a slow burn yuri, which is not for everyone too, and then there's the fact that it has quite a focus on the fantasy side and the lore, which might turn off people who only care about the yuri.

Second, the yuri, or just the romance as a whole really, might have turned off people who was interested in the setting and lore.

Honestly, although there is quite a focus on the fantasy side, this is first and foremost a slow burn yuri, so I can't help but feel being published in anything but a yuri magazine was the main issue behind low sales, yuri fans will read virtually anything as long as it's not outright garbage, but publish a work like this in any other magazine,  who exactly is the audience they're aiming for?

Unfortunately general public won't get into stories like this, one could argue it was doomed from the beginning in any non yuri magazine.

And as someone basically said, this probably works better as a Twitter/ Pixiv manga, with the author releasing chapters when they believe it's done instead of following a magazine schedule, unfortunately not all digital mangas work as well when published in magazine.

TLDR
I'm fucking pissed cause most Japanese only want easy to digest brainless self insert and or escapism mangas :angery:

Comic Walker is not a magazine. It's Kadokawa's web manga platform that aggregates comics from lots of different magazines. Yuri is easily discoverable through the dedicated tag, and there's even a microsite for it.

If anything might have limited the reach of this series, it's that it is not serialized (i.e. bundled with other series) in any magazine at all. Comic Walker lists it under the Dengeki Daioh G label, but that magazine does not list it on its own site as part of its current or past lineup. (Instead, they only list the volumes as products.)

This just broke my heart, I would sacrifice all of the two hundred versions of "owo I got reincarnated as the villainess' sidekick" that are out there just to keep this story going.
