Kinda stagnant and bland. Just don’t feel like it’s worth the time tbh. Overused tropes done poorly (I enjoy kidnapping plots sometimes, but this one felt cheesy idk).

The art is great but the story is meh. I can't imagine the series being able to go on much longer. The main character is a total moron (specifically instructed to not leave? leaves anyway), so it's harder to believe that children at 16 are considered adults in this world.

The Dragon Knight's Beloved 2 starts us off shortly after where we left off in volume 1. Melissa is getting used to her life at the Margravate (I hope I have this right. I think this is the one that suggests the land and not the person or the wife of the person. This is starting to get a little confusing.) : D We get a bit of fluff between our protagonist and love interest, a few nice close ups of Hubert with his perfectly glossed lips. Sorry, can't let that lie. But we don't hesitate to continue the plot along, which I can appreciate. As expected, Miss Eleanor has no intention of leaving the Margrave or his family alone.
There were more things I liked and a few more things that I didn't love in volume 2 of this series. We'll start with the more cheerful bits. I like that the mangaka isn't wasting time to tell the story. I don't hate the fluff with dance lessons or other sorts of activities, but we're here for the dragons, right? I'm glad we don't spend too much time with the romance, especially because as I said in the previous volume's review it still makes me somewhat uncomfortable. I like Melissa and Hubert a decent amount, but I don't think their romance is going to go down in history as the best I've ever read. It's pretty much just fine, so we can sprinkle in some along with the intrigue of dragons and drama. I love Melissa's interaction with the dragons, even if it's not a scene actively moving the plot along. She has fun moments with them all, though I occasionally wish we could see more of the White Queen.
That's as good of a segue as I've ever managed to make. I'm going to throw down a spoiler tab here. If you don't want anything to do with the dragon's egg spoiled, skip this bit.I found it a bit strange that the dragon egg hatched just by Melissa talking to it. I'm not exactly displeased by that. I mean, it makes enough sense. It just felt sudden? I like Blue. He seems fun enough, though I guess he's just a baby. I really enjoyed White yeeting him across the yard. Though, it was a bit odd that we're told Blue is supposed to stay inside a nest for his youth and then he's just flying around without White or anyone watching him. I guess he is the king and all, but we get a bit of contradictory information. It just didn't help the moments feel fully realized, at times as though we simply were supposed to forget what we were already told?
There are moments in this manga where I feel like the author thinks we know something or someone, and we just don't. Now, I know something like this can be used in literature to confuse and pull in the reader. It never really felt like that in this one. It just felt like the mangaka (or perhaps translators) just didn't explain something thoroughly enough. But not even that. It wasn't like I needed a paragraph about one thing. They just didn't introduce someone. There's that old man towards the end that I just have no idea who he is, but he's giving a command. Is he important? Did I miss something? Am I just dumb? Probably.
Anyways, I am still enjoying this series. I have no intention of stopping it, though it's still just for fun and not something I'm massively blown away by.
