If only I got transported to another world like in those cool anime series – is what Kai Martin thinks when Milo, his best friend, suddenly confesses and asks him out.
Next thing he knows, he’s in a huge bed, in what looks like royal chambers, and there’s a handsome naked guy next to him. Who glares at him and asks him something about another round.
Another round of what?
And then, a guy in butler's livery walks through the door and looks at him like he just spat in his food.
On the other side of the universe, Prince Sebastian finds himself in a conundrum of his own. A commoner with beautiful eyes asks him out on a date. What’s a date? Ah, and there’s also that thing about a curse, as it looks like he just got thrown into a cruel world full of dangers.
In other words, this is a story about a NEET who learns what responsibility is while trying to fight monsters, fend off the advances of his personal captive-prince-slash-sex-slave, and figure out why nobody likes him. It’s also the story of a prince with a stack of chips on his shoulder who learns that having feelings is not all that bad.
I've read the first four chapters and here are my thoughts.
Absolutely brilliant.
The story pacing is very good. Laura manages to make the experiences fresh and funny, which makes the reader forget that not much time has passed in the story.
The style of writing is great. The words just flow from one word to the other. I think this is Laura's best work yet, granted I've only read box-shaped heart, which is also a banger.
The grammar is impeccable. As said above, Laura needs no editor for their grammar.
The characters and the story is where it is at. The premise hooks you in and the characters make you stay. The world is very well built and the characters that populate it are three-dimensional. People have agency here, not just the main characters which are very hard to do.
I especially like Pepin. Pepin rules.
