There are numerous other novels where the young protagonist attempts to alter the course of events, and in comparison to those, I found this one rather endearing. The protagonist, despite her innocence stemming from her age and circumstances, is likable and charming, with everyone around her adoring her. What captivates me the most is the playful banter between her family members - the dad, who loves his daughter deeply but struggles to express it effectively, and the grandfather, who cherishes his granddaughter but has difficulty showing his affection openly. It's a delightful dynamic that adds warmth to the story.
Considering it's a relatively new release, not many have had the chance to read it yet. So, here's an honest review. If you're a fan of childcare-themed stories, you'll definitely enjoy the narrative. The main character has a well-developed personality; she doesn't come across as demanding or overly assertive, which is refreshing. Although the plot is straightforward and the villain is introduced rather early on, it might not be packed with intense drama just yet. The translations are top-notch. As of chapter 12, I'm looking forward to reading more. Keep up the excellent work, translator!
I absolutely adore stories with child protagonists, and this one is exceptional. Hanelope is a delightful and amusing character. What I appreciate about her is that she's intelligent but not overly powerful - her strength comes with real-life challenges. In these types of narratives, it's common for family bonds to shine, but the author skillfully portrays Hanelope's journey to gain the respect of her father and grandfather. I particularly enjoy watching how the main character (FL) manipulates the villains and overcomes obstacles alongside her dad, as they both face personal growth.
Hart is a standout father figure; he wasn't ignoring or disliking Hanelope, merely unaware due to a misunderstanding. Upon meeting her, his initial thought was that she might be his own daughter. The heartwarming moments between them are truly delightful.
I am in love with this book. I'm excited to read Loving Jude next. Jo and Jude's story is wonderful and heartbreaking. Their story will not disappoint you.
