Unrelated, but when she suddenly shouted "Fireball!" like a completely generic fantasy spell, for some reason that took me out of the illusion of taking this setting seriously for bit. And then every other time she shouted a magic spell later.

GloomMouse posted:For those that've read ahead, does the isekai stuff end up a big part of the plot or is it just tacked onto the story because that's what sells today So far at least, the main purpose of the isekai is to explain why she's so weird. Moreover, she's not just randomly inventing things willy-nilly, she is specifically recreating modern gadgets with magic; ie: everything on the shelf in her workshop is something we, the viewers, are familiar with but Euphie is not.

ungulateman posted:i think it's very funny that the prince is 100% in the right but is written to be a huge rear end in a top hat to make the plot work. hell yeah dude, arranged marriages suck rear end, and you very clearly like this cute girl that seems perfectly nice. better ruin your fiancee's life as part of an elaborate ruse Maybe this isn't quite clear if you don't read a billion shoujo isekai stories, but the "prince denounces his evil fiancee and chooses true love" is a stock scene as overplayed and hard to take seriously as "the chosen hero must defeat the demon lord." So on the most basic, he IS supposed to be seen as heroic and romantic in that sort of context; it's the culmination of an offscreen cinderella romance between the commoner and the prince. But BECAUSE this is so overplayed (well, not really, it's more like "the butler did it" in terms of seeming cliche despite not actually happening that often in stories), it's trendier to parody it by shifting our sympathies to the villainess, which requires making very contrived reasons for the prince to publicly humiliate her. In fact, this reversal is so common that Anis immediately recognizes it ("this sort of thing really happens?"). And then the story goes on to parody THAT by immediately shifting focus again to the political ramifications. So it's like a double-layered parody of what at its core was a sincere appeal to true love over arranged marriages. Clarste fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Jan 21, 2023 |

I don't think he wants it that much? If anything he seems to feel it was forced on him by his sister (by giving up her claim as the eldest child). Everything about his actions screams to me that he's jealous of her freedom, and the fact that everyone gives her so much special treatment while he's expected to just fit into a role and never complain.

The drug gives her tuberculosis, but don't worry, she just needs to invent magitech antibiotics.
