Accomplishments of the Duke's Daughter (Light Novel) Vol. 1 by Reia

5.0

It's so good! The main character and the male lead (he has to be, right?) go so well together. All the concepts Iris brought in because of her past memories were explained so well it was like an economics textbook I actually enjoyed for once. Her interactions with everyone were really nice to read too, and especially her brother, Berne, was interesting to see. And the art! The art is so good, wow.

It's a bit fast-paced and I would've preferred a bit more fleshing out of the new systems they introduced (for example, troubles with getting the census, or problems with setting up the academy, or even the embezzlement problem- I would have greatly enjoyed a diversion into what was done there) though I think how it is now is quite great as well. Especially since Iris takes on a more manager role for the later stages for her projects, so it makes sense that there wasn't a lot of explanation on it, but it would have been nice to see maybe how Sei handled his project, stuff like that.

If anything it just felt a tad too smooth-sailing, but it still overall made for an enjoyable yet intriguing book. A strong 4.5 stars to begin with. Can't wait for the next volume!
