A hilarious, wonderfully told story of overcoming traumatic pasts, fighting against expectations, and the greatest battle of all, death to buttons. (seriously, how DARE that button!)
this was my first ever LitRPG story so I had to get used to some of the genre quirks but man am I SO glad I was able to pick up this book! it has it all! princesses, warriors, sword battles, magic, dragons, political shenanigan's, kidnappings, poor damsel kings in distress, and the Happily Ever After the main characters deserved. the worldbuilding alone left me in awe, with every kind of being under the sun from trolls, to high elves, to griffons and even the undead!
we follow Princess Henrietta as she is sent on a quest, more or less, to die. she has to go and challenge the dreaded evil dark lord of the monster filled forest. said evil overlord, is tired and just wants a nap and sends her off to go have fun baking. Henrietta soon finds herself having fun, and being herself for the first time in her life, and has to choose between disappointing her parents with her continued existence, or living with the dark denizens of the dark forest. with one choice, she lives in misery, and the other choice could lead to a happily ever after. with a prophetic fortune teller guiding the way, Henrietta has a lot of choices to make before she gets her happily ever after.
