Wanted to like it, but …

I will try to keep this review as free from spoilers as possible for maximum visibility because what I THOUGHT I was gonna get out of this and what I ACTUALLY pretty different. My first review for this …

First heads up: there’s no big indication of the needless violence and fridging until you start reading. I like some violence in manga, just usually when I’m expecting it and it feels warranted. Too many innocent children are killed on page here for it to feel justified. It’s just shock value and if you removed those panels from the manga you’d change very little.

Second point: there’s FL feels like so has no driving force behind her. In chapter 1 she just more or less accepts her fate until her maid says she hates the kingdom and FL just decides that’s her motivation now too. I’m fine with her being driven by revenge (kinda in the title you know), but it’s kinda weird to see the same character who established charity for her people decide all the innocents should be dead along with the maybe 4 people who ACTUALLY wronged her. Like yeah get your revenge but a bunch of people who’ve never seen you before are dead because you kinda just decided to be hateful?

Also don’t like how murdering the brigands is meant to be some kind of running joke?

Apart from violence there’s a couple other things that gave me the ick. Did we really need slaves?

I read every chapter hoping there would be something to catch my eye, but I guess this saved me from watching the anime …

この絵柄でグロ系

Glow style with this pattern

This review contains spoilers. 原作読了済み絵柄とか序盤はなろう系でよくある展開…というかストーリー自体はあらぬ罪をかけられた主人公がチートスキルで逆転していく…というものだが、ざまぁどころかやりすぎでは？と思える報復が多い裏切りに直接は関わってない騎士が償いたいと協力を申し出たら都合のいいことを言うなと喉笛を切る苦しむ方法で殺害、他の騎士は一見何もせず解放したかに見えて意識を保ったまま周りを殺害させる呪いを付与して愛する家族や罪のない人々を大虐殺するように仕向けるなど、なろう系でも類を見ないくらい残酷な報復を平気な顔でしていくどこまで連載が続くかわからないが最後のほうは敵の手で死よりも辛い改造を施され不死の状態にされた王子とその腹に埋め込まれた王が戦いの末不死以外無力化された後、棺桶に入れられ地中深く埋められ死と蘇生を繰り返しお互いを罵り合いながら永遠に苦しむという惨い顛末を迎えている人によっては気分が悪くなる内容なので注意

This review contains spoilers. The design that has already been read from the original story or the beginning is a common development in the Narou series... or rather, the story itself is reversed with cheat skills... but isn't that too much work? I think there is a lot of retaliation, and if a knight not directly involved in betrayal offers cooperation, don't say something convenient, cut the whistle and kill them in a painful way, and other knights seem to have been released without doing anything at first glance and impart curses that kill people around them while maintaining consciousness, etc., causing them to massacre their loved ones and innocent people, etc., so I don't know how far the serialization will continue, but the last one is at the enemy's hands The prince, who was remodeled harder than death and made into an immortal state, and the king embedded in his belly were neutralized at the end of a battle, then put in a coffin, buried deep underground, and suffered forever while repeatedly cursing each other through death and resuscitation, so be careful, so be careful, the content makes some people feel sick

血腥いけど痛快

bloody but exciting

眉目秀麗且つ頭脳明晰な貴族令嬢にしては豪快奇抜で大胆不敵。自己満足に酔い痴れるおバカ王子と親バカ国王、自分の娘すら国の道具とする冷酷無慈悲な宰相の実父を相手に裏切り者たちへ国諸共の報復を仕掛ける様は、ある意味非情な父娘感が垣間見える気がします。この闘い、父娘の直接対決も有るのかしら？単行本も10巻を越えたけれど、まだまだ勢いが止まらない感じですね。今後の展開も楽しみです。

For an aristocrat daughter with beautiful eyes and a clear brain, she is exhilarating, eccentric, and fearless. I feel that in a sense, I can catch a glimpse of a ruthless father-daughter feeling when they set up retaliation against the traitors against the selfless and ruthless prime minister's biological father, who uses even his own daughter as a tool of the country. I wonder if there will also be a direct confrontation between father and daughter in this battle? There are over 10 volumes of the book, but it feels like the momentum is still unstoppable. I'm looking forward to future developments.

ブチ切れというか吹っ切ってる！

It's out of place, or rather, it's blown out!

吹っ切った人間って怖いですね！怒りを前面に押し出すというよりかは、にっこり笑いながら容赦なく敵認定した奴らを叩きのめしていく感じがしてめっちゃ怖い！おまけに自分で相手に手をかけるのに躊躇しないところがまた…。そういう人物女主人公では見たことないので新鮮でした（怖いけど）。

The person who blew through is scary! Rather than pushing anger to the front, I feel like I'm smirking and mercilessly knocking down people I've recognized as enemies, which is really scary! What's more, they don't hesitate to reach out to their opponents themselves... I've never seen a female protagonist like that, so it was refreshing (scary though).

今までのやり返し系にない爽快感

A sense of exhilaration not seen in the repetition system until now

令嬢のやり返し系は数多くあるけど、いつもどこかぬるい感じで少し飽きてました。今回もやり返し系かー、と読み始めたら、女性漫画とは思えないほど過激な報復で、容赦なく片っ端から始末していくさまが気持ちよくて全巻買いしてしまいました笑今後どうやって馬鹿な王子に報復するのか、楽しみで待ち遠しいです

There are a lot of young girls, but they always felt somewhat lukewarm and I was a little bored. When I started reading it this time too, it was such a radical retaliation that I couldn't think of it as a female comic, and the way they ruthlessly got rid of it from one end was so comfortable that I bought the whole volume lol I'm excited and can't wait to see how they will retaliate against the stupid prince in the future

This review contains spoilers. とにかく主人公が無敵！こんなに完璧な主人公って中々いないですよね?でも今の所主人公のロマンス要素がないのでこんな無敵の主人公を射止める相手がどんな方か楽しみです。いよいよダンジョンという所で新巻待ちになりました。楽しみにしています！

This review contains spoilers. Anyway, the main character is invincible! there aren't many protagonists this perfect, right? But as of now, there are no romance elements for the main character, so I'm looking forward to seeing who will shoot such an invincible protagonist. Finally, I was waiting for the new volume in a place called a dungeon. I'm looking forward to it!

爽快

Exhilarating

This review contains spoilers. お馴染みの婚約破棄から始まる令嬢ものですが、当の令嬢が強く賢く度胸と行動力がある策略家で、悲壮のかけらもないし爽快です。国や悪党には冷徹ですが、どろどろした感じではないし、それだけ今まで搾取されてきたんだからと納得できます。

This review contains spoilers. It's a daughter that starts with the familiar annulment of her engagement, but this daughter is a strategist who is strong, smart, and has courage and ability to act, and there's no trace of tragedy, and it's exhilarating. They are cold-hearted towards the country and scoundrels, but it's not a mushy feeling, and I can be convinced that it's because they've been exploited until now.

なかなかどうして！！

Why is that so bad!!

どんな報復をするのだろう？絵が可愛いな！！と思って購入しましたが、なかなかどうして！どんどん先が気になって行くではありませんか！！少々、グロよりな面もありますがそれが平気な方なら、報復話を楽しめますよ！

What kind of retaliation will they do? The picture is so cute!! I thought so I bought it, but why not! Aren't you worrying more and more about the future!! There's also a slightly more grosy side, but if you don't mind that, you can enjoy the retaliation story!

残酷描写に注意

Beware of cruel depictions

This review contains spoilers. かなりシリアスな復讐劇で、残酷シーンが多いので注意です。婚約破棄され、断罪後投獄中に類いまれな魔法のスキルで、隣国へ逃亡からの商人として大きくなる姿、頭の良さは圧巻。その中で着々と復讐劇の下準備も事欠かない。自分を無碍にした時の悪魔となりし姿は、好き嫌いが分かれるところ。

This review contains spoilers. It's a pretty serious revenge drama, and there are a lot of cruel scenes, so be careful. Her engagement was annulled, and her intelligence was impressive, with exceptional magical skills while imprisoned after being convicted, and how smart she grew up as a merchant after escaping to a neighboring country. Among them, there is no shortage of preparations for a steady revenge drama. The appearance of being the devil when you put yourself out of the way is a place where likes and dislikes are divided.

感想が真っ二つに分かれる作品

A work where impressions are split in half

This review contains spoilers. 復讐ものですがヒロイン自ら手に掛けます。しかも徹底的に。容赦ないのでそういう作品が苦手な人はキツく、逆にそういう作品を求めている人は好まれるという真っ二つに感想が分かれる作品だと思います。 ■謝罪すれば許すような事はせず手に掛ける…その理由が現実的。しかも躊躇せずに実行。そんなヒロインの潔さを含めてそういう復讐好きな人にはたまらないです。ここまでヒロイン自ら手に掛けて復讐する作品は斬新なので、裏切った相手が今後どのように成敗されるのか続きが楽しみでしかたないです。

This review contains spoilers. It's revenge, but the heroine takes matters into her own hands. Moreover, thoroughly. There's no mercy, so I think it's a work where impressions are divided between two: people who don't like that kind of work will find it tough, and conversely, people who are looking for such works will like it. ■If you apologize, you don't do anything to forgive and get in touch... the reason is realistic. Moreover, do it without hesitation. It's irresistible for people who like revenge, including the heroine's integrity. The work where the heroine takes revenge by taking her own hands up to this point is novel, so I can't help but look forward to continuing to see how the opponent she betrayed will be won or defeated in the future.

ヒロインが容赦なくて斬新

The heroine is merciless and innovative

This review contains spoilers. 評価低いのは何故？なろう版既読→コミカライズの順で読みました。こういうシリーズのヒロインって、やたらと慈悲深くて、酷い目にあわされてきた相手を簡単に許しちゃうようなところがあって読み手がイライラすることが多いけど、この作品のヒロインはやられたらやり返す、なんなら倍返し（笑）なので、スカッとします。多少の残酷なシーンもあるので、嫌いな人は嫌いなのかな？個人的には、このぐらいやらなきゃおさまらないって扱いだったし、私は満足です

This review contains spoilers. Why are the ratings low? I read them in the order of Narou edition read → comicalized. The heroine in this kind of series is extremely merciful, and readers are often frustrated because they easily forgive someone who has been treated in a terrible way, but the heroine in this work repeats when done, doubles back (laughs), so it's amazing. There are also scenes that are somewhat cruel, so I wonder if people they don't like don't like it? Personally, I was treated as if I didn't do this much it wouldn't subside, and I'm satisfied
