Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death Chapter v2 Discussion

Super hilarious

The core of misunderstanding stories isn't just the misunderstandings themselves, or the 4D chess delusional explanations afterwards, but the characters involved has to be engaging enough so that the reader can enjoy what's going on

The thing is, it's kind of easy to screw up misunderstandings. If the misunderstanding is too small, it becomes boring. If it's too grand it becomes unbelievable. Thus it requires a balance of "not too small to be worthless, but not too big to be s*upid". Another key thing is that the act itself has to be proportional to the result: a very simple chemical concoction curing cancer isn't actually fun to read.

Tearmoon Empire's series of misunderstandings are built on top of each other, each accident is a small patch of snow, but it's layered on top of a huge snowball built out of the many small patches of snows previously dumped into it

And it's a fun style of misunderstandings. Mia's movements are largely not accidental: she makes quite calculated moves, it's just that she only has a single grand goal and doesn't think too much about the details, thus the ramifications of her gestures can be misinterpreted. In other words: her 4D chess moves are misinterpreted as 5D chess moves, that's the sort of balanced thing that misunderstanding series has to have: the effort must match the result

Again, very fun to read. Very much recommended
