A bit fluffy without much momentum in the first six chapters, but it's got some interesting perspective on the stand-in trope. No ones been sold, slave traded, or forced, which is nice. There's some discussion and illustration of SA that doesn't involve the leads (its an ancillary character that's dead when the story starts / ML has trauma around it) could be quite triggering, so be mindful of that.

This short story is kinda all over the place, but ultimately it's cute. I wish more time was spent on HOW it got to this stage, but I made my peace when chatty foxes were included.

FYI it's essentially a one shot split into two episodes for some reason. Cute fluff, if you've got some spare points.

Love this FL, King still needs a smack, but he's getting there, Kings love interest is finally starting to use her brain! Not sure why this story isn't linked to the previous volume, but here we are. All the political intrigue and two-facing going on can get a little dry (I do miss the occasional cat fight tropes this lacks), but our FL is developing further as herself in this arc and not just as the Crimson Rose figurehead. She's certainly not breaking the strong independent FL mold, but she's definitely refreshing.

This might be my new favorite way of poking at the trope of aloof elves. This story is saccharine in a wonderful way, while also highlighting that KIDS DON'T FIX RELATIONSHIPS. I'm so glad these two precious bbs have each other.

FYI the continuation of this series is available, but not linked to this one for some odd reason. Villainess Harem Chronicles A Kingdom in Turmoil. It continues this wonderful story. SO GOOD. There is something so unusually rare about strong FLs with their own agency. She don't need no man, and while she's not the swashbuckling type, she puts in work with her brain, and best of all DOESN'T TRY TO DO EVERYTHING HERSELF. Absolutely glorious. The continuation is totally worth a read too.
