No snusnu, no romance, just a ridiculously addictive and fun manga featuring a brash, confident isekaied game otaku blazing her own trail through one complicated socio-political situation after another in another world. This is one of those series where I thought I could make do with just reading a couple of chapters a month, but wound up splurging to binge the entire series as quickly as possible. Very much looking forward to the next chapter!

It's beautifully designed and drawn, particularly the setting design for the house that features like a character itself, but the writing feels a little rushed, and the characters (history, motivations, growth) consequently feel a little shallow. The bones of the story are good, the romance is sweet, with the conflict realistically being sourced in the characters' failings/insecurities, and the frequent snusnu is moderately hot in a way that feels more romantic than what's in a lot of other “adult” romances, but I wish the story had time to breathe and the characters had more time to develop. As it is, characters are left looking foolish for making decisions for plot reasons instead of (vaguely sketched out) motives, and plot pieces are introduced jarringly. It's a shame; this could've been one of the best reads on this site if the writing could manage to overcome its failings. Ah, well. If we could give half stars, I'd give this 3? stars. A solid rental, but I wouldn't read it again.
