Publisher's summary

Juliette Contzen is a lazy, good-for-nothing princess.

Overshadowed by her siblings, she's left with little to do but nap, read, and occasionally cut the falling raindrops with her sword. Spotted one day by an astonished adventurer, he insists on grading Juliette's swordsmanship, then promptly has a mental breakdown at the result.

Soon after, Juliette is given the news that her kingdom is on the brink of bankruptcy. At the threat of being married off, the lazy princess vows to do whatever it takes to maintain her current lifestyle. Taking matters into her own hands, she escapes in the middle of the night in order to restore her kingdom's finances.

Amazing!

It was really good. It really enhances the expirience to hear Juliette's lovely voice as she describes her evil schemes and outsmarts criminals. The narrator did an amazing of portraying her absurd and hilarious character.

Better than you’d think based on reviews.

I got this title during a 2 for 1 special—I tend not to buy books that have too low of a review. After listening, I think a rating of 4.1 is excessively harsh. I would give it more of a 4.5 or 4.6. It’s very light hearted and has a similar vibe to anime and other light novels. My only complaint is I found the main characters boon companion to have an annoying voice—not in love with the narrators choice there—it’s super high pitched and kinda harsh on the ears, but it wasn’t a deal breaker.

Deeply Funny

I live for the humor and wordplay in this series. It is just so much fun hearing Juliette smash her way through all barriers set in her path like a flail. Excellent performance as well.

Not my cup of tea

The MC is too much of the same thing for a whole book. I won’t get any more in this series since by the end of the book she just grated on my nerves. But I did finish it. Luckily I got it on a 2 for 1 sale so it was worth trying.

Fun

As dark as the state of the kingdom is the view point and delusions of the main character makes for a fun and concerning story.

Brilliant Voice Work

The narration brought out the best in the characters and accentuated their dynamics with each other.

Amusing and lighthearted

Very well written, pompous and fun in a Royalty told way.
Narration was very well done. No harem or naughty scenes which is a plus in my book. Just a well told story.

SS but doesn't realize it

It's one of those books yeah. It's clever and funny, but it comes with a self deluded protagonist which is kind of exhausting too. It's played for laughs and it's fine for now, but I don't know if I can take an entire series worth of it. Ideally theres going to be character growth, hopefully.

Regardless I do recommend the book.
