Whilst I haven't read very far, Skite's review paints a very different picture from what this novel is.It's not some fantastic tightly woven conspiracy novel but it's exactly what it says it is. A cute child-growth type rofan.In the first place, the MC doesn't want the throne. She has various prejudices influenced by her past life and knowledge of the world she's in to make her afraid of the palace and imperial power. All she wants is to get her parents out of poverty and open a bakery. She's not even trying to act cute, this is a typical rofan so ofc the child MC is portrayed as adorable and endearing it's literally the genre.Why would she embrace her powers and potential? She doesn't really have the smarts or ambition for that. To her all she cares about is baking. It's not fair to judge a novel based on a premise that it doesn't present. MC thinks all of life's problems can be if not solved but made better by confectioneries. She knows she's not going to be let out and her spirit animal tells her baking will strengthen her connection so that's what she does.I'm not saying this novel is fantastic and it's faults like more on the clichés a rofan has such as MC accidentally doing things which would highlight her as not as special and then going omg I messed up help.If you want a brainless rofan then go ahead but if you wanted some political scheming there are plenty of novels which do advertise themselves as that but don't judge an apple pie for not being a chocolate cake
