NU Link- https://www.novelupdates.com/series/slow-prison-life/ RAW-Syosetu-https://ncode.syosetu.com/n5577es/ This a pretty entertaining novel featuring a shit headed enterouge of men headed by dunce headed prince getting trolled by an imprisoned 'villainous' fiancee. . .
Dunce... implies they're just too dumb to realize they're doing something wrong. Prince & his entourage don't even realize what they're doing is wrong in so many ways, nor how it's wrong, nor why they should stop doing it immediately and why they shouldn't have done it in the first place. And when they do realize some of it, they make further efforts to reach their totally wrong goals so that they've atleast got the end results they might've wanted, but still stuck with the horrible process of how they achieved them. Basically 'We did wrong. We can't make it right without looking than total idiots, so we'll pursue our goal with even more effort to make it happen! And it wasn't even our fault in the first place!'
I'm actually starting to like Margaret. I love how this story doesn't just reverse the usual heroine villainous template, it's more like it adds more depth to it. Margaret really is a high-spirited naive girl, she just isn't at all humble or innocent; and Rachel really is a scheming vindictive villainous, she just isn't at all shortsighted or undisciplined.
I just keep hating her more and more. at first I thought she only recently became a nobel, so some errors in thought and acting were understandable, but we just found out that she was officially adopted when her mother married the the baron (likely partly due to a deception that he might still be unaware of) like 6 years prior. Not understanding noble society and rules works if it is a recent ascension, but most of a decade is not recent. she has had years to learn the new rules, but still thinks and acts like a resident of the pleasure quarter/. He plans are only "working" because the prince is an idiot with an inferiority complex, so sucking up to him works. Plus Rachel wanted the break, as otherwise the prince would likely have been forced to release her and apologize the next day, and that is if she did not prevent the entire fisco in the first place by simply letting the king know what his idiot son was planning.
Well, I didn't mean "like" as in I want a girlfriend like her. Or a friend, relative, or neighbor like her. I just think she's fun to read about. How can you not enjoy reading about a pedophile being tricked into falling into the sewer? Or the way she trapped those nasty noble-girls? Yeah, she screwed up big time in taking on Rachel, but watching her crash and burn is funny too.
I’ve just deleted all my bookmarks for tome game manga. Got annoyed with them. Then I noticed this... Binging now.
