Another microdose of Bakarina。 While I was reasonably sure that these were all the events that would be covered by this volume going in， it is quite shocking how little ground is covered in this book。 Considering one of the five or so chapters is entirely dedicated to secondary pov's offering very little fresh morsels， it definitely begins to try my patience。 However， the upsides are a cast expansion and a bit more revealed of the dynamics of the royal family。 With this， I'm reasonably sure fini Another microdose of Bakarina。 While I was reasonably sure that these were all the events that would be covered by this volume going in， it is quite shocking how little ground is covered in this book。 Considering one of the five or so chapters is entirely dedicated to secondary pov's offering very little fresh morsels， it definitely begins to try my patience。 However， the upsides are a cast expansion and a bit more revealed of the dynamics of the royal family。 With this， I'm reasonably sure finishing the next volume will have me caught up to where I am in the manga。 Perhaps then， the fact that these novels are so brief will function better since it's new story ground to tread。 。。。more

Is anyone else convinced Katarina is somewhere on the ace spectrum？？？

#Team Rufus/SoraI think the switching POVs of the same events are becoming a trend with this author。 I really liked the expanded cast and especially Rufus the butler。 The kidnapping plot was also rehashed in this novel， being the central plot this time。

2。5/5Honestly， this is the one that I liked the least。 Even within the logic of this story， Katarina is ridiculously dense and （view spoiler）[Sora liking her after literally speaking one day to her is too much for my suspension of disbelief （hide spoiler）]。Still my guilty pleasure， so I'll continue haha 2。5/5Honestly， this is the one that I liked the least。 Even within the logic of this story， Katarina is ridiculously dense and （view spoiler）[Sora liking her after literally speaking one day to her is too much for my suspension of disbelief （hide spoiler）]。Still my guilty pleasure， so I'll continue haha 。。。more

“We live in different worlds， you and I。 You know that， right？ There’s no way I can take you with me。” That was his response。“Different。。。 worlds？ What do you mean？ Aren’t you sitting before me right now， as you are？”“。。。”“We’re talking together， eating together。 Doesn’t this mean we’re in the same world， then？”

Katarina is attending school festival！ After the usual "I lost track of time" and lots of food， the festival ends and a calamity occurs！ Oh no。 What will happen to Katarina？ I can't wait to find out。Oh。 But we're going to see the festival all over again， only from the POV of one of Katarina's male admirers。 Well， that's fine。 Just get through this。。。Annnnnnnd， it's back to the festival through another admirer's eyes。Then another。And yet another。More？ I didn't even think there were this many。Gues Katarina is attending school festival！ After the usual "I lost track of time" and lots of food， the festival ends and a calamity occurs！ Oh no。 What will happen to Katarina？ I can't wait to find out。Oh。 But we're going to see the festival all over again， only from the POV of one of Katarina's male admirers。 Well， that's fine。 Just get through this。。。Annnnnnnd， it's back to the festival through another admirer's eyes。Then another。And yet another。More？ I didn't even think there were this many。Guess what gang？ The book is now half over。 Seriously。 Half the book to describe one event。 And the male admirers all say and think basically the same things。 Multiple times。I liked the first two volumes and the anime was hilarious。This volume is terrible。 。。。more

Still funny， but it is getting rather repetitive。 I get the distinct feeling the author should have stuck to the first two books and be done with it。。。

Having successfully evaded all Katarina Claes' Catastrophic Bad Ends from the otome game Fortune Lover， our protagonist is now looking forward to a fun second year at the Academy of Magic， and hopefully a long and happy life （which was denied to her in her otaku life by a premature death）。 But that was not to be -- she's kidnapped as part of a political plot， and has to figure out how to avoid being used as a pawn， or worse。 Meanwhile， her friends are all trying to rescue her from whoever has he Having successfully evaded all Katarina Claes' Catastrophic Bad Ends from the otome game Fortune Lover， our protagonist is now looking forward to a fun second year at the Academy of Magic， and hopefully a long and happy life （which was denied to her in her otaku life by a premature death）。 But that was not to be -- she's kidnapped as part of a political plot， and has to figure out how to avoid being used as a pawn， or worse。 Meanwhile， her friends are all trying to rescue her from whoever has her。It's neat to see how she uses the skill in forming human connections that she learned while trying to avoid all those Catastrophic Bad Ends to gain the sympathy of the antagonist， and get him to reveal that he's a pawn in something much larger。 So far the storyline hasn't jumped the shark now that it's resolved the original conflict。 。。。more

This is by far my favorite volume。 While the ratings say 5 stars， I think this actually deserves 4。5 stars。As a Nicol fan， it is my duty to point out that the Nicol and Katarina moment during the school festival was swoonworthy from both Katarina and Nicol's perspectives。 100% loved it。 I need more。Okay Nicol details aside， there is finally some progress between Katarina and one of the LIs of the story！ Huzzah！Since I read volume 2 and 3 back to back， I really delt the extent of the specific LI' This is by far my favorite volume。 While the ratings say 5 stars， I think this actually deserves 4。5 stars。As a Nicol fan， it is my duty to point out that the Nicol and Katarina moment during the school festival was swoonworthy from both Katarina and Nicol's perspectives。 100% loved it。 I need more。Okay Nicol details aside， there is finally some progress between Katarina and one of the LIs of the story！ Huzzah！Since I read volume 2 and 3 back to back， I really delt the extent of the specific LI's interests feelings。 As of now， I am rooting for the that LI and Katarina to get together。Buuut main harem aside， we are introduced to the princes' two older brothers， along with their fiancées。 We also get to know the blue-haired man from the cover。 Honestly， aside from Prince Ian， one of the brothers， and his fiancée Selena， the other characters were NOT what I was expecting。 It was so refreshing to read about them because they're so different from what I expected （okay blue-haired man not so much but it was still a refreshing POV despite something he did ehem）。Also the whole repeating scenarios with different POVs doesn't bother me as much anymore。 I actually ended up liking some of the different POVs because of all the insight we actually get！ For example， most （if not all） of Jeord's POV contained new things to learn about the prince。 There was minimum repetition if the same dialogue， and the same events were retold in a different enough way that it felt nice to read about！ Well done indeed。Repetition， however， became the main reason why I couldn't give this volume a perfect score。This one retelling in the middle of the book through Selena's eyes did not provide anything new。 In all honesty， the book would've been fine without it。 In that scene， Selena had openly expressed all of her feelings clearly， and her personality is clearly portrayed through the dialogue， so I feel like the POV could've been entirely scrapped。Moreover， different characters kept bringing up the Dark Magic incident from the last volume， so I was constantly reminded of it。 Once or twice would've been sufficient， thrice or more is kind of pushing it。 All in all， this was still an enjoyable read。 The harem's dynamics with the main character was more than enough to make this a very entertaining volume。 。。。more

The schtick is getting tired， and I think it's time for me to bail。 If you enjoyed the previous two books and want a story that is quite literally just a repeat of that， I highly recommend you continue the series。 I can't bring myself to continue， so this is where the bus stops for me。 The schtick is getting tired， and I think it's time for me to bail。 If you enjoyed the previous two books and want a story that is quite literally just a repeat of that， I highly recommend you continue the series。 I can't bring myself to continue， so this is where the bus stops for me。 。。。more

Great continuationYou get to see new things after what happens in the anime and new characters were introduced。 The story line is starting to pick up。 Highly recommend for shoji/otome reincarnation fans。

I just can't stop reading it。 The plot is just getting better and better with the twists and everything。It's lovely to see how all of the characters that used to defy against her in the game are the dearest friends in reality。I like how she changes the characters' attitudes and it's funny to see how dense she is。 I can't wait to see who she really loves because right now she only thinks about her destruction ends and how to survive them。 I just can't stop reading it。 The plot is just getting better and better with the twists and everything。It's lovely to see how all of the characters that used to defy against her in the game are the dearest friends in reality。I like how she changes the characters' attitudes and it's funny to see how dense she is。 I can't wait to see who she really loves because right now she only thinks about her destruction ends and how to survive them。 。。。more

Since this is directly after the anime ends the story was completely new to me。 It keeps up the fun from the previous books， and some nice character progression。

Awesome， amazing and loved it！ I like seeing the same scenes from both characters’ POVs。 It could have seemed like filler， but I enjoyed it。 5 stars and can’t wait to start the next one！

I've said it before。 The writing is not good， even if the general story is entertaining。 Unfortunately， it feels like it's just repeating the same tropes， so I'd like to see some actual character development。 Basically Katarina eats and sleeps， and is incredibly dense。 These are her defining characteristics， and they are getting tiresome。While I like to see the other POVs， it's basically regurgitating the same words from a slightly different view。 This is super repetitive and boring to read。 I've said it before。 The writing is not good， even if the general story is entertaining。 Unfortunately， it feels like it's just repeating the same tropes， so I'd like to see some actual character development。 Basically Katarina eats and sleeps， and is incredibly dense。 These are her defining characteristics， and they are getting tiresome。While I like to see the other POVs， it's basically regurgitating the same words from a slightly different view。 This is super repetitive and boring to read。 。。。more

3。75This volumes really improves on the last two。 I think the plot of this volume， having carried over the entirety of the volume and not just the last couple of chapters， really aided the story and the pace。 A common complaint with this series is after reading a long chapter or section from Katerina's perspective， the next section or chapter will be the exact same， same conversations and everything， but from a different point of view。 This volume does continue this but I do think that more ofte 3。75This volumes really improves on the last two。 I think the plot of this volume， having carried over the entirety of the volume and not just the last couple of chapters， really aided the story and the pace。 A common complaint with this series is after reading a long chapter or section from Katerina's perspective， the next section or chapter will be the exact same， same conversations and everything， but from a different point of view。 This volume does continue this but I do think that more often than not， the new perspective actually provides something new to the story。 Especially with the plot in this volume， the multi-perspective actually makes sense。I also really enjoyed the advancement of the relationship status with Katerina， never pushes too much to break down the lovable core of the series but doesn't stay in the same place like a similar series （Miraculous。） It's also less teasing， this series keeps the core without having to rely on gimmicks and teasing to keep it going。 It can advance and have the same feeling。 Also， I must say two pages to four pages even of chapter one had my heart thriving with all the content for Katerina and Maria shippers haha， I love them。Another area this volume improved on was the writing itself， I think the writing started to flow better and felt a lot less younger fanfic-y than previous volumes。 Not sure if this is due to the improvement of skills of the translator or the original writer but definitely makes the experience more enjoyable and less disrupting。Finally， I want to mention that the characters are building well I think， while such a large cast doesn't leave much time for each of them to thrive， I think that their connections to one another are growing， where they don't JUST spend time with one another when Katerina's around。 While it didn't go very far， I definitely felt it improved on previous volumes。 （Most of this review is just really saying the series is improving and I'm so happy that it is if that wasn't obvious。）Definitely looking forward to the next volume to see if it keeps growing like my love for it does haha。 。。。more

I really enjoyed the premise of this series but it should probably have ended after the second book。 The constantly expanding cast is so unnecessary！ Spend time developing the characters you already have！ Not sure if I’ll bother to read book 4 or just let it go — I kind of doubt there’s going to be any romantic resolution anyway。

Not the greatest novel since sliced bread， there is some rehash in this （kidnapping plots， dark magic）， but I did enjoy parts of my time with it。 First half is basically school festival time， but that's pretty much restricted to 3 venues: 1） the food stalls （Katarina's most anticipated venue to stuff her face; she even has her maids loosen a dress for her before the event）， 2） the magic display event （which we barely get to see / not too important but just an area for us to have Joerd's Bros com Not the greatest novel since sliced bread， there is some rehash in this （kidnapping plots， dark magic）， but I did enjoy parts of my time with it。 First half is basically school festival time， but that's pretty much restricted to 3 venues: 1） the food stalls （Katarina's most anticipated venue to stuff her face; she even has her maids loosen a dress for her before the event）， 2） the magic display event （which we barely get to see / not too important but just an area for us to have Joerd's Bros come to meet him and Katarina again）， and 3） the stage where our heroes will perform a play （what role will Katarina play？ Read to find out！）。Second half is that kidnapping and dark magic based rehash。 There are some differences of course in some of the characterization here （a more organized criminal element， versus Raphael's more haphazard kidnapping attempt）。 The jokes sometimes hit， but again， lots of rehashed stuff （Joerd vs Keith with their 'pleasant smiles'; Alan being brash with Katarina; Katarina being forgetful; Katarina getting 'mosquito bites'）。 There's a bit of a mystery element to it， but I don't think they give you enough info to figure anything out， it's just revelations from the characters themselves。This volume introduces more about the Ministry of Magic， which is a pretty multifaceted organization。 But for our purposes， the big thing is that Raphael is being forced to work here under observation （after the kidnapping incident） and Maria is planning to work here after schooling to be near Katarina。 Can they rope Katarina into working there？ I guess we'll see。 And it just might interrupt Joerd's Marriage plans。。。 But he's not having any of this if it's up to him。 What drastic action may he take to convince Katarina of his love？ 。。。more
