I Became the Maid of the Lout Prince Chapter 87 Discussion

Overall it's a pretty decent, albeit not very original, reincarnated into a game genre of novel. Nothing is egregiously wrong with the characters or setting of the novel, but there are a few aspects about the writing and the story that get in the way of enjoying the novel for me.

As other people have stated, the opening chapters can be very hit or miss. Personally, I was fine with them because at least the main character seemed rightfully panicked at the prospect of being reincarnated and acted accordingly.

However, the plot is awkwardly paced, with some chapters being dense and others basically being 8 paragraphs of internal monologue. Additionally, at some point in the novel, the misunderstanding humor and miscommunication between characters drives more and more of the plot, which is a personal annoyance I have in novels. Also, it seems that the other just used time skips freely when they want to move the plot ahead, so you'll get chapters where it basically says, "I did my normal routine for about a year".

Overall, the novel is fine, but there just isn't much interesting going on with it, and the writing itself is not really good enough to justify all the tropes the novel dishes out.
