Now Reading: 元暗殺者、転生して貴族の令嬢になりました。
I made the mistake of looking at Bookwalker and seeing that not only was this book on sale, but there was a “get 50% back in coins” thing too. Now I’m reading my first for-fun LN in a few months. And also bought more books.
Title: 元暗殺者、転生して貴族の令嬢になりました。1巻 // The Former Assassin Reincarnated as a Noble Lady. Volume 1
Author: 音無砂月 // Otonashi Satsuki
Basic summary:
a former assassin is reborn as the daughter of a duke in a different world, and is reeeeeally not good at acting like a normal noble lady.
I need to note that I’m currently like 45% through the book right now, so this isn’t a review or anything. While I really want to finish reading it tonight, I need to be nice to tomorrow-night!me because staying up all night reading is not conductive to meeting work deadlines.
My thoughts so far: I would not mind translating this. It’s not super good, but it isn’t bad either. The Japanese summary pegs this as a “Comedy x Suspense x Sometimes Love?!” story, but I have yet to hit any suspense. On the love bit, we’ve got two possible love interests so far (the heroine Serena’s servant, Teagle, and the kingdom’s first prince, whose name I don’t remember), and I’m not sure which one will be endgame. Teagle gets more pagetime, has had a side chapter from his POV, and is the first boy, but the other possible love interest is a prince, so.
Hopefully I will actually finish reading this if I put it down tonight.
