Weird twist and use of tropes for this first chapter.
Like it's doing several things at once without time to flesh them out.
The Mariallé girl seems to be a reincarnated "heroine" character expecting, and trying to make, things to go her way?
But the Prince did just straight up use her to test his fiance, which could have been made better if it was also a way to expose actual crime she's was community along the way. Though I guess defamation can be a pretty serious crime, especially among noble circles.
Definitely not the best intro chapter for an anthology, but good thing it's labeled as an anthology.
Feels like there needs to be a different rating system for anthologies in which each individual chapter can be rated on its own.
Which might be nice for for regular serialized chapter rating too?
