Reincarnated Princess Wishes To Avoid Death Chapter ln v8 Discussion

Great reading.

As some may have already understood, this is one of those Misunderstanding trainwrecks that somehow work out. However, in that regard, this is one of the best there is. Specially when compared to Bakarina, who overused the same point so damn much that it got boring, and Overlord, where MC is mostly wimping so the vassals do most of the advancement without his knowledge.

But worst of all in these two examples is that there is basically no character development, simply put, they start in a state, and they remain like that, with only the other characters changing their behaviors to adapt to MC.

In here, Mia is the protagonist, and the damn train breaking all common sense, and sure, she has similar wimping behavior, but she learn great lessons, she is constantly learning (as much as she can pay attention to, and at least, that's not zero), and she actually pushes her sweets fueled brain to work to some extent, and avoid bad decisions, or at least, connecting dots. So as much as a whimper, she is also not unaware of the problems, and actively tries to fix them by herself, resulting in the butterfly effect that leaves other speechless.

If anything, you start wondering how the heck will she solve something, and what sort of logic will she reach to think that she can solve that, like her "experienced survival skills" (she hid in a forest for 1 night, got hungry, left the forest, got captured in a village), or her newfound "mushroom expertise" (considering her previous experience, she learned that mushrooms can be eaten, she studied how to eat them, this way, in case things go bad again, she won't be hungry [and with that, not captured]. Sure, there may be some poisonous ones, but a [self-proclaimed] master won't make such mistakes).

Yes, Mia is an egocentric lovable fool, unlike the coward ones, Mia believes seriously she can do things others would disagree, but she also knows of her own limitations, and is more than happy to shift blame onto others.

Yet, this is the hilarious story of how such creature became known as the Great Sage of the Empire.

It's hard to compare it with other stories, since I have not read any similar one, and that's how good it is.

The first arc seems to have been the base of the story, so kinda like how the first 2 volumes of Bakarina can be good, I worried that the remaining would end up being samey samey like that one. It's a good thing that, yes, it gets better.

This however is not a romance story, although there are 2 boys aiming for the princess, a competition per se doesn't exist, why? Because she knows the future, so she knows who she gets paired with. Of course, she does change the future quite a lot, however, do not expect reverse harem clichés here, as I said, this is not a romance story.

But although it plays around a bit in conveniences, I do like how politics are played and executed here, to a point that I'm surprised on how you can use the messages the author is clearly expressing to the current times, specially, city folk, like those who think that food comes not from farming, but from the supermarket (Yeah, there are people like that).

And since this is not isekai, there are almost no japanese culture stuff here, so it's easy to recommend even to readers not used to Japanese Novels.

There is quite a bit of food related stuff though, since Mia is a (self-proclaimed) Food Connoisseur [And the narration constantly mocks her for that], but although you can see relationships to real word food, they all get different words due to how the fruits and vegetables are named different. So it's a bit easier on those not interested in food-related stories.
