I saw this on the new updates and I'm glad I tagged in so early! The premise seems so cute! Thx for picking this up, I'm already excited for more!

I see tsundere in title, I click.

 

[plsnobully]

Cute!

Praise God it's not Isekai. Picked up.

The girl grew up during 17 years thinking she was the center of the world and a single remark one day from a random nobody was enough to bring her to a mental breakdown...
No interesting tsundere moments yet as well, I'll give it a few more chapters, but so far, I'm not interested.

Nothing i haven't seen before but interesting enough to read

I finally have to ask a question to someone well-versed in Japanese culture and language:

Does the word "cute" (可愛い kawaī) encompass more than just looks?

It has always rubbed me the wrong way in every manga I've read when the guy says "you're cute" and that's somehow enough to charm the girl, like it isn't the most surface level compliment that could possibly be given.

I must believe there's some cultural difference here. Where I come from it might be flattering, but if that is the main point of attraction the girl in question would be insulted instead.

Interesting take. Haughty princess wants to reform herself. No isekai or reincarnation BS. She realizes she‘s a bad person and tries to fix that. Worth the shot So far (2 chapters in)

Tsunderes essentially have Borderline personality disorder. I see that and I have ptsd

Acute point, and especially for a massively egotistic character imo being only cute would borderline be an insult. At the very least its being cute should be a given for them in their heads.

Cant speak for the Japanese language but expecting realistic relationships out of manga is like expecting a golpher to predict the weather.

According to TV Tropes, it means something like sexy. Maybe it depends on the situation, but it might mean that when said to an attractive teen.

It refers to the whole package, so behavior and personality as well, and implies the one calling someone cute has a desire to protect that person. It's not as simple as saying he finds her attractive

What the hell man I was rooting for lord Rein why did he have to be the rotten
No one's worth rooting for in this, there's no interest

Eureka I have found it.
Whether a story is Shoujo or not isn't related to the personality of the female protagonist and not even if the main male characters look handsome.
It directly correlates if the breast size of the FMC is big or not. I have seen many describe the modern shoujos for men and all they have in common is the breast size. Is it a coincidence, I think not.
