*Disclaimer*I only read until chapter 26 some of my remarks might not remain relevant as the story progresses. This story can only be read as a comedy if you want to digest it but even then better has been done think "Touch my brother and you're dead." The story is a mess. Nothing is set except who the main character is and her not wanting to die. The rest is up for debate and we are already 26 chapters in. She is apparently sent for a purpose to this other world but what this might be and why her? I, at least, got no clue. Minor spoiler ahead (Chapter 1). Her fiancee ressembles the guy she had a crush on in home world. He was apparently going to confess to her minutes before she is transferred (key word apparently). This sort of minor plot twist that we can't seem to understand why they were added are everywhere. And, for the time being not a single one of them has been resolved or served an actual purpose so far. Anyway, I don't even understand how I was able to read 26 chapters of something and still feel like no progress or character development was done at all. The art is cute the exagerated expressions fit the absurdity of the plot but nothing fantastic or to really look forward to. It is beautiful enough to not turn you off of the story but that's it. Characters I have to understand what is the character of a character to be able the make relevant observations. My only relevant observation is that I can make no such observation. I mean that in itself can be interesting. Conclusion, if you like stories that are absurd and were you can not make head or tale of were the plot is going or the personality of the characters. Here you go.

It's completely comedy, not drama. Don't be fooled. The whole world and characters ridicule themselfs all the time. The exaggerated facial expressions and the rushed plot and all those coincidental accidents feel like it's an ecchi - just without the ero part. TBH, with a protagonist like her, it would be better for the whole story, to just switch her with the maid.

The story comes off as comedy yes but once the story and all the characters who have importance is spoken of it does get into a way darker experience. I'm at chapter 83 this would be the season 2 ending final and it left off on a cliffhanger. The story itself has nothing wrong with it don't get me wrong some part are head and tales but once you get deeper into the story it all makes sense, I say just stick to it until you get to that point as that's how story's are told. The art is gorgeous and it's a 10 from my point. The characters can be a little goofy but they are serious when it matters. If you're looking for a strong Fml who takes the story by the horns this is not that story, she's just a girl from the modern world and again once you read the story you'll understand why she can't catch on as fast as she needs to. Overall I'll continue this book and I really recommend it to people who like fluff but also emotional drama...just my opinion I believe it's a slow burner with a lot of heat. I really enjoyed reading it so far and I hope you actually take a moment to read and take in the story then rush it through.
