Thank you for translating!

Speaking of boundaries, I agree with @Voltekka about Keith being a fairy king and thus being by principal divorced from human social norms and customs—namely, to him, wouldn't be logical for Tiarose to bail on a "weak, mortal, human prince and accept the honor of being chosen to be his immortal fairy bride?" That's very much in character for a fairy king of legend and fantasy. That said, it doesn't make it a "healthy" and independent relationship for her.

Likewise, boyfriend didn't even ask what Tia wanted and just decided for her, all while scaring her and nearly killing her along with doofus.

As for Aqua, if I were in Tia's position in the story with my current memories, I'd likely not have had the "damsel in distress routine" going, I mean, she's totally acting a culture trope for these sorts of comics, the purity and vulnerabilities that were popular in past culture, got tossed, but somehow are making resurgences as though men & some women want folks to crawl back into their prospective proverbial boxes (this is worse by far than those old comics from way back in the day—at least, they had consistency & the women weren't so foolishly weak—they just "pretended" to be in order to con the men folk in order to survive, but when opportunity struck, they put them firmly in their place. Not here it would seem.

Also, the harem bit doesn't follow. It's a nice attempt, but it doesn't resonate. If she'd threatened to walk and they caved to her boundaries, cool! But, in this case, no, she's depicted as utterly weak and feckless before the MLs.

Where's your backbone and grit, woman‽ Where's the, "I'm leaving! If you insist on fighting like children, attempting to steal my agency, then I want no part of either of you! I'm done! [Exits stage]"

Had she done that and the pair caved, then turned harem—fine. But, she demonstrated absolutely no agency and it's rather repulsive—particularly without context. I'd at least like to know why. =P

Gah I love the art, and the story was cool in the beginning, but I feel like Tiara is starting to fit too much into the weak shoujo protagonist category and is becoming a perfect Mary Sue... Hhhhh I hope her character improves in later chapters soon!!

I'm basically just here for Prince Hot now lmao

 

[heyykelleyn]

i don't know why i'm surprised that Tiara's devolving into the basic, weak, useless shoujo protagonist now that she's lost the advantage of knowing the future (which is... literally the entire point of an otome isekai manga) since i read the novel, but seeing her dumbass behavior illustrated (throwing yourself in the middle of a fight? seriously? you could've threatened to jump out of the gaping hole in the wall if they didn't stop, but no, you just had to go for the desperate dramatics) is just making me disappointed with her character all over again. as far as i've read, her only selling point is her bond with the forest fairies and she's still a helpless damsel-in-distress that i want to throttle out of pure frustration at her lack of common sense.

i'm only here for the art at this point, the author leaned waaaaay too far into the old stereotypes and it's getting real old real fast

 

[Xeans]

this feels like a happy ending before the strom xD

 

[CitrusFruit314]

@heyykelleyn couldn't agree more. Such a shame. For a supposedly "villainess" she is behaving exactly like a typical shoujo heroine

 

[Haoru]

The beginning of this story was promising but now the mangaka is literally a clown.The villainess here is supposed to be not like the typical female lead in otome game.She even showed the flaw of the 'damsel-in-distress' heroine and was strong and rational.But now, just because you got a prince, you act just like the heroine.I'm sorry but i'm dropping this┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

 

[Gurgling]

Okay but that scene where she has them at her beck and call was amazing 😂

 

[Blackdevil911]

I really love this story. It really unique. I want more chapters. haha

 

[Svelandria]

Damn, Tiara jumping in between them like that reminded me of the olden days. Such a typical dumb shoujo-protagonist move. Stupid as all hell, but I don't think I hate it. Also, seeing Tiara as the queen with two kings at her side was funny, but also a tad fitting.

Spoiler

I read in a previous chapter's comments that Aqua loses his memory of Tiara or some shit due to the Forest Fairy King and Tiara has to deal with that drama, but I wonder if that spoiler was either fake or mistaken. Anyone willing to clarify?

"A girl shouldn't stick her nose into a fight between men" - The Fairy King
UM what?? You're literally fighting ABOUT her though, I think she gets a say in this. Both of them need to chill out and ask her for her opinion because in the end she needs to be with who she wants to be with.

Also where the fuck is Tiara's backbone? She might literally be the weakest and dumbest protagonist I've seen yet. She's literally just letting these two guys decide her life for her and is doing absolutely NADA about it. She's just sitting there praying "Oh no I just hope both of them will be safe uwu" like bro literally stop being indecisive and just,,, speak your mind. It's really NOT that hard omg. Why can't we normalize independent female protagonists? And when she jumped into the fight--what the fuck--I have no words. I think we can all agree that this is the oldest cliche in the book of romantic cliches, and one that should be avoided in any situation. What did you think you would accomplish by doing that?

Also there's no way they were able to talk to each other and get touchy-feeling while falling from that height. It only takes a few seconds to reach the ground.

This manga has some really good art but the story is just SO shit (not to mention the characters, blergh), it's unfortunate.

 

[venuslvnda]

this sum corny ass shit lmfao, reminds me of the old cliche shoujo mangas

 

[GambierBay]

@venuslvnda I actually rather like that classic cornyness. Well, in that it hasn't been really used since like the 90s when I was a kid.
So seeing it is kind of refreshing.

 

[ArchiveOfTheWeeb]

@nivinator factsss!

 

[WeeabooReview]

You know, I'd be happy if the series ended on this chapter. Her getting both the men.

Thanks for the chapter!

Good god the Fairy King is a badly written character.

 

[angry_noodles]

good god has the author's secret fantasy really started pouring out. the kissing has gotten ridiculous, the jealousy has gotten ridiculous, the possessiveness has gotten GROSS
none of the characters have been truly likable since the beginning, but WOW
