The novel is not recommended to read.

Issues:

1) MC is a child/incredibly naive to the point where you forget she’s a crosser with memories of the book world. She continually acts strangely, such as not attempting to communicate with people or even treating this like a real world. She doesn’t take Noel seriously as a person (you’re a kid too Mc), and tends to not take care of herself as a human being. She’s the weirdest person also for somehow thinking she’ll go back and take over her kingdom when she’s a throwaway child.

2) Slice of life: The novel itself is an agonizingly slow fluff slice of life where nothing much happens. It’s not particularly bad, but not good either. Days go by with the MC just working on learning some words. It’s mundane and tiring.

3) The ML Noel is a little kid as well, but he’s a big Tsundere. In the translation given, the author has to remind us of this constantly which gets tiring.

4) The boring background world: Perhaps there are those awed and tantalized by depictions of aristocratic decorum but the author appears to focusing way too much on the boring bits such as how to greet others or communicate. It all is basically one big excuse to cause misunderstandings between MC and ML and the Dutchy so that the novel drags out. You can summarize segments of the novel by saying “MC doesn’t know something because she grew up in her country. Everyone misunderstands until they actually use their brains wow!”

TLDR: MC is a small child who doesn’t act like the crosser she should be and the novel is just fluff misunderstandings that are extremely slow. There’s too much info dumping of boring/pointless stuff and a focus on aristocratic decorum that is far too mundane. A lot of the issues just stem from lack of communication.

Not a particularly fluffy or happy sort of novel either.

2/10 Mediocre.
