I did enjoy this book, I'm a fiend for danmei and an inspired one convinced me to read it. I enjoyed the concept of the re-telling. However, I had a few qualms. The beginning felt rushed. I think drawing out not knowing he was a prince instead of a stable worker would have really added to the story!
The book always explained what certain words meant, but it would have been more efficiant to put a glossary of vocab at the end of the book or the bottom of the page where the word was mentioned.
I think if the book was a series of 2-4 books would have really brought more attention to it and add to worldbuilding and fully fleshing out the characters. (Adding art in the book would have been fun to have a visual!)
The pacing just felt off to me, but I really liked the concept and the characters so despite its issues I did enjoy it. I hope to read more books from this author in the future if she ever releases more danmei inspired books:)
