    What volume did you stop at, because i gotta say the whole feeling swapped. But now there are a ton of flashbacks living out the heretical queen days in the form of peoples dream. But that’s not the main story and its only in too long of tidbits when i want to get back to the slave countrys actions.

    But if the rest of the story interested you more, well its still pretty good. Ive cried a few times at the super emotional parts. At my point pride and tiara are pretty much on their own set route toward love. Ah the shit all the boys go through is probably the point of the past few volumes while the girls mostly take it easy.

      I checked and it was after finishing volume 4. I dropped it because her inner monologue made her look dumb/oblivious and because the characters were so inconsistent. Here’s a bit of what I wrote at the time:

      Also, suddenly she is some damsel in distress who needs to be rescued from some princeling when in previous volumes she was a powerful last boss cheat monster that could annihilate a platoon of bandits that even endangered the army. But no, now some single little prince can manhandle her as he wants. Such fucking inconsistent writing.

      And now that I’ve refreshed my memory I think I will stay away, even if there is country building.

        Is that when her leg got broke? Thats because she broke the last boss bitch mode and went to go save someone. Her abilities seem to work as a last boss type of thing. Also she broke her leg because they were dropping bombs from invisible blimps and that wasn’t explained in the game, so she was just a clueless teen for that.

        Shes just another dumb person put into a role that she mostly knows. I believe that’s why they switch to a lot more other points of views and broaden the story.

          I don’t remember het leg getting broke or invisible blips. Must be after volume 4. But I don’t remember much anymore about the series so I might just as well have forgotten. I don’t think though that I would have had such a negative reaction if her damsel-ness could be explained with some broken bones.
