Note: Reviewed at 3 volumes read.
This is essentially some mediocre revenge porn, where the object of revenge isn't really very motivated, and the execution of the revenge is naively constructed. While I am usually pleased when the protagonist doesn't shy away from killing, especially in situations that call for it, most of the time it feels rather forced and overbearing. Similarly, the 'villains' also feel forced in how spiteful and evil they are.
We get a classic yet mediocre villainess start to the story, where out of nowhere, the prince and a few accomplices publicly call out the MC for bullying an upstart commoner girl they're
...
in love with. The MC is of course the perfect princess and Mary Sue, so it is obviously false, while the prince is well-known to be supremely idiotic and easily manipulable, but everyone just goes with the flow. Regardless, his 'handlers' aka his dad and her dad were (and seemingly always are at opportune moments) busy in a different part of the world, so they can't stop him in time. Actually, his handlers know he's an idiot and she's carrying the country on her own in their stead, so they take the wise decision to treat her like shit.
All the bad guys are bumbling idiots, as well as being leaders of a self-destructing country full of bumbling idiots. So our perfect MC takes the opportunity to dip to the neighboring country, together with her retinue of extremely competent and loyal followers, and plans to exact her revenge on the ~6 named bumbling idiots by destroying their country, be there innocent civilian casualties or not. Of course, all her extremely competent and loyal followers (even those that remain in the country) agree with this.
The story then proceeds as follows. MC Mary Sue's her way into money, fame and power. As it turns out, she has a figurative control board with buttons such as 'construct a spy network in a foreign country' or 'destabilize country' or 'incite peasant rebellion' which she occasionally smashes (they are executed by her extremely competent and loyal followers out of sight) and everything just works because everyone that is not MC is a bumbling idiot. Her targets of revenge then basically eat shit. The end.
