Overall:
Went in apprehensive but was really surprised. Good read, which got me into otome isekai.

Story:
Otome isekai+conneticut yankee in King Arthur's court. Sprinkles in some great political intrigue and drama too. The plot is not particularly original, but the execution is great. The pacing is perfect and its really gripping. Seeds of Plot points are introduced in advance and the manga does a great job at building up to rewarding payoffs and developments. Something new is always happening and it feels like progress is often made. Hard to put down once you start.

Art:
Good shit. Good detailed character designs, even changing clothes/hair of characters often. Lots of expressive face closeups.Paneling is easy to follow but nothing super creative. The colors are nice but obviously most of it is B/W. That said, there were almost no knock your socks off spreads or panels that made me go "wow". Just consistent quality. Could do a better job of showing motion, but excuseable since its not an action manga. Bad background work, uses empty B/W backgrounds often or simple copypasted effects extremely often.

Character:
Really excellent MC. The main character manages to really buck the trend of isekai protags. She is competent and has a real skillset that goes beyond game knowledge/knowledge of the modern world, character traits that make her extremely likeable, and realistic flaws that prevent her from being wish fufillment/self insert material. She makes reasonable mistakes/oversights, but she also manages to beat the odds in novel and interesting ways.

Unlike a lot of other isekai, the MC isn't wanked by making the other characters incompetent or cardboard cutouts. The side cast is also very competent and recognizeable. The villains feel threatening and the competence of all the characters makes the political intrigue tense and suspenseful.
