This is book one of a two-volume series. It starts out quite slowly, but despite appearances this is a quite serious story with plenty of intrigue. Although fortunately the law of author appeal prevents the worst outcome, this doesn’t shy away from more serious LGBTQ issues either (mainly in volume 2); It’s certainly apparent that this isn’t just another fetish fuel story. Overall story wise it’s a decent entry into the weirdly specific Otome reincarnation genre.
The book doesn’t avoid cliché, so if you’re allergic to that this might not be for you. It’s also not *perfectly* paced, there are certainly parts that a particularly malicious reader may call filler (although I personally enjoyed those parts as well).
The translation is pretty typical quality for light novels. It’s competent enough and certainly does it job, but it’s a bit stiff and overly literal at times (to the point where in some instances I felt compelled to work backwards and guess what the original phrasing in Japanese was to work out the meaning of some interactions). It’s good enough to not hamper enjoyment of the book, but it is not really worthy of praise either.
Overall if you’re in the market for a LN with overt and outspoken LGBTQ characters for once (rather than the usual innuendo or fetish fuel) you’ll certainly not be disappointed with this.
