Can Someone Please Explain What's Going On?! Volume 1 by Tsuredurebana
2.0
Viola is princess to a very poor royal house. When a wealthy prince offers to clear her families debts so long as she agrees to become his official "show wife" she agrees. Prince Cercis is engaged in a long running love affair with an older woman whom he can't actually marry.
After their wedding, Viola is given the grand main house to live in while he and his lover will occupy the small garden house.Viola doesn't care for him, or his affairs, at all. Instead, she gets to work befriending the staff and fixing up the manor with craft and decorations to her liking. As a poor man's daughter she's not used to such extreme wealth.
Over time, from he staff, we learn Cercis' backstory. Then he starts coming around more. At first the result of circumstance, then by choice.
We can tell he's taken a liking to Viola, but what will he choose in the end? And what about what Viola wants?!
See!? Such a fun little story idea! I would watch this as an anime!
Unfortunately, as is the issue I continuously run into with light novels, the writing is sooooo stunted.
These are translated works from Japan where they aim to appeal to middle school/highschool students as fast, simple, reads. I wonder if it's the translation into English that sucks the life out of them?
The lackluster writing makes it so hard to carry the story. They dont feel like quick reads in English.
These plots are fun! Please give me fun! lol.
Im going to read all the light novels I've not completed reading over the years and in search of hopefully finding some hidden gems.
